Rock Band: 1,000 Songs! →
Wow, with the announcement of Nirvana and Night Ranger releases next week (no “Sister Christian”?!?), the Rock Band game has hit over 1,000 songs to play.  That’s pretty amazing.  And a great reason why we’re still playing the game three years after it was released. I’m planning on getting some Rock Band and Beatles Rock Band time in this Holiday Season, that’s...

Pig and Froggie Wedding!
Been singing this all week, thanks to Jess, who shared it with us.  I should really post it tomorrow, but I figure an extra day of enjoying the Muppets never hurt anyone.  (You can also watch the rest of the wedding if you want…) I call Swedish Chef, though.

Soldiers and their dogs.
frants: Many of us have seen those heartwarming videos where a soldier, freshly home from Iraq or Afghanistan, surprises his or her daughter or son at school.  Tears, joy, they’re really great to see. Well, today, in honor of Veteran’s Day (thank you, Veterans!), I give you Mental Floss’s collection of soldiers welcomed home by man’s best friends. Dogs are just the best.

Five years ago, a guy named Lucas wanted to learn 3D animation.  So he started a project that would eventually become Pigeon: Impossible, a lovely animated short.  The fact that I found myself giggling at the facial expressions of a pigeon is a true testament to the final product (read: I loathe pigeons).

My Wife Has An Awesome Job, Part II.
The Wife: Yankees are here.
Me: Ugh.
The Wife: Lyla Garrity is here too, though.
Me: Ah, right, they're a couple. Well, that's pretty cool.
The Wife: Only good thing about today so far.
(thirty minutes later...)
The Wife: Some PR guy for the Yankees gave out gift cards for Modells.
Me: Really?
The Wife: He said "yeah, go get some Yankees stuff."
Me: Ha!
The Wife: I just smiled and took the card. Fifty dollars is fifty dollars.
Me: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
