Friday Funkfest. A recurring (almost weekly) flurry of quick hits, links, videos and thoughts. Clearly, the best way to waste time at work spend your lunch hour each and (almost) every Friday.
Early this week I posted an interview with the guy who plays Elmo. Well, this interview with Elmo alone is pee-my-pants funny. I would have posted it on the same day, but who has the time to work through 18 minutes of Youtube Elmo in a 24 hr period? Pace yourself. But if you need more, here is another hilarious interview with the little guy.
Voices Outside My Head
- Back in high school, Fred Jones was the best basketball player around. He went to Oregon. Got drafted. Has played in the league since then. A cool slice of life story about being a baller in tough economic times.
- I think there are more than five red states left. There are at least six. Kansas looks purple-ish from the outside, but the whole deal is about to swing back firmly to the right. My guess is Sam Brownback is our next Gov, and our budget problems will spell doom for a lot of Dems.
- If you didn’t check out the micro-sermon at Prayer’s For Blowouts last week, you should peep this one. It’s funny on it’s own, but it also reminded me of one of my favorite preacher videos ever. I don’t think we went to the same seminary.
- I thought the President got everything for free. I guess not. That settles it. I don’t want to be President anymore. I need perks, baby. Being the Commissioner of the NBA is a way better deal.
Voices Inside My Head
- I’ve been shopping for a car this week. The sales people keep telling me they are willing to “be aggressive” to make a sale right now. I hope that means “lower the price” as opposed to “give you a wedgie until you buy our car”.
- Superbowl Sunday. Yes. I’m not down with the big parties. It’s impossible to watch the game and the commercials with a bunch of people trying to talk to you. I’ll be watching the game at the crib with a couple of people. But I will be live tweeting the game , which will also be simulcast on facebook.
- I’m getting excited for Baseball season. I feel like we are entering a really nice stretch for the KC Sports scene.
- Has anyone else felt like kids are a more terrible 3 than they are a terrible 2?
