Links: Volume 108
Friday Night Fights
For some reason, I read this again two months after it was posted, and just cracked up, right from the beginning: What you are about to read is true. The names have not been changed because we only know one dude's name. I mean, laughing out loud alone in my apartment. (For those who don't care about the Penguins, it has nothing to do with them, despite the general theme of the blog.) Also, not adding to the hilarity, but just an interesting fact: That DQ is right by my parents' house. I have spent lots of time there, and never saw a fight.
5:30 PM: We leave for the two hour drive...
I hate to laugh at someone else's tragedy, but this is great.
Herb Brooks's pre-game speech, as recited by a four-year-old.
Nothing better than a preschooler saying "Screw 'em!" (I guess since I saved this weeks ago, this kid appeared on Ellen. So maybe I shouldn't bother posting it. But I love him!)
Steelers Bird
I love that the top two related videos are also Steelers birds. And this one, too. Who knew this was a thing?
So, How Does It Work on the Bus?
David Byrne gives a nice explanation of tour-bus logistics, for those who are always curious.
'Funky Cold Medina' and 'Wild Thing' are the Same Song
I saw this link all over the internet recently. I remember realizing this my junior year of high school. I even remember the specific incident that made me realize it. How are people just figuring it out now, 10+ years later?
going postal on the wrong side of the counter...
OH SO FUNNY. Also, as someone who goes to the post office nearly every day, that description of placing their pen on the desk, pushing their chair back... That is exactly correct. I won't name names.
