Steph’s worst nightmare
My roommate Liz and I were just discussing my complicated issues with red velvet cake. And then Facebook revealed this to her. If you want me to come to your wedding, I’m going to have to ask that you don’t have one of these:
Ever want to know what sounds animals make in other languages?
This site has it all and in a really cool format. I always thougth that in french dogs went “wau wau,” but it’s actually “woof woof.” And Russian dogs go “guff guff.”
You get a car!
I couldn’t find the actual clip, but this gives you a taste.
Your Wildest Dreams Have Come True
Has everyone seen this already? I think it’s the funniest thing ever.
The Most Wonderful Story Ever Told
U.S. Embassy saves Willy the sea turtle.
This needs to be on Cake Wrecks
I just went to a Carvel ice cream stand for the first time and I can’t believe this cake exists and is marketed towards children.
I vaguely remember this show!
Running from 1981 to 1987, the Canadian show Today’s Special followed the adventures of Jeff, a mannequin who came to life every night after closing with the aid of a magic cap; his display-designer friend Jodie; and puppet buddies Sam Crenshaw (the store security guard) and Muffy (a mouse who speaks only in rhyme). Each episode taught a lesson: about hats, friendship, and even alcoholism. But for impressionable young ones, the real education came from learning the strict rules that kept Jeff breathing. Losing the hat paralyzes him, and one step outside the store makes him a mannequin for good.
WTF???
AV Club is right, this is really weird
My mom told my sister about this show and Alison was pretty sure it was made up. But it’s real. It’s about a chimp that’s a secret agent.
Donuts destroy sewer system
In case you didn’t know already, donuts can do harm.
“The suit details problems with the plant dating as far back as 2004, describing a sewer facility permeated by the smell of doughnuts, pipes clogged with corrosive slime and the resulting raw sewage leaks that eventually shut down the southern Fairfax sewer system.
At one point, public works officials ran a closed-circuit camera along a pipe to show the grease deposits, only to get the camera stuck in the buildup.”
Oh dear.
Arlington Rap
Most of our bloggers and readers are probably not familar with Arlington, but it’s the city right outside DC where all the preppy types live. This video is taking the DC area by storm and has already gotten a write up in the Washington Post. I like the line about tapas.
slo-mo dove
I found this funny.
Ok, I realized this was a double post when “turn around bright eyes” was already a tag. But I wanted to leave it to show how Emily is in my brain. I blame being out of the country for being two weeks behind on my youtube.
Benjamin Button
I never saw The Curious Case of Benjamin Button but I assume this video says it all.
Vote for Mountain Goat Ruby
My friend Ryan’s doggie niece has been nominated as the dog of the day on Purina.com. Vote for her. She’s a rescue dog and afraid of bicycles.
1000 Awesome Things
I agree with most of them, including
#775 When someone holds your keys and wallet in their purse
and
#771 Waking up before your alarm clock and realizing you’ve got lots of sleep time left
Cool/creepy photos of Grey Gardens
Thanks b for sending me these.
(sorry steph- i’m adding more to your post…)
The photos are from a NYT slideshow of the Grey Gardens mansion…
A 1975 documentary captured the eccentric lives of Edith Bouvier Beale, known as Big Edie, and her daughter, Little Edie, in Grey Gardens, the filthy, dilapidated mansion they occupied in East Hampton.
Two years after Big Edie died in 1977, Little Edie sold the house to Sally Quinn and Benjamin C. Bradlee, who undertook a massive renovation. These photographs, which have never been seen by the public before, were taken by a photographer hired by Ms. Quinn at the time she and her husband purchased the house, in order to capture the extent of the decay.
Correction: April 20, 2009
A previous version of this slideshow reported that Edith Bouvier Beale died in 1979. She died in 1977 and the house was sold in 1979.
I can’t wait to see Grey Gardens with Drew Barrymore on HBO. Steph, I should come visit you in DC and have a watching party.
Pet observation porthole: do want.
My sister sent me this amusing article about SkyMall. The NY Times loves reporting on how every tiny niche of society is suffering from the recession. Also, remember how Sarah had a SkyMall ad on her door of A1 for some dog bark collar?
Swine Flu PSAs from way back when
The second one is really creepy.
I iz a pirate
That is all.
FYI
Thanks Ryan for sending me this.
Even more reasons to love Paul Rudd
He loves children and the earth.
I only watched some of this.
But it seemed very entertaining.
Female Urinals: what gives?
In my unnamed office building, 30 out of the 120 bathrooms contain something called “female urinals.” They look like this. I have no idea how to use them. Luckily a high-level governmental official has been made aware of the problem.
a puggle named apple
kinda catchy and very adorable.
Grey Gardens the movie … Cannot Wait!
Drew does a pretty good “Mother darling.”

Christ this looks good
Maurice Sendak + Arcade Fire + Karen O + Spike Jones
Kitty cat
Ok, I haven’t watched this with sound or all the way through, but Ryan suggested I post it and he is generally reliable when it comes to crap.
Athlete Life Fail
This article was really interesting and sad. Reason number 385983 to to use condoms: you don’t want to be paying child support on nine different kids. I’ve been posting a lot about the need to use protection lately, huh?
I love this bridge so much!
Thanks to Steph B. for this one.
Remember when Pee Wee said he loves fruit salad and then Ms. Yvonne goes, “Why don’t you marry it?” and fucking Pee literally did it!? Apparently this is not a very unique event and the name for people who do this is objectum-sexuals. One lady even married the Eiffel Tower.
