We all know that one. But here's a remarkable cover. I could never love a woman who didn't love this.

This probably shouldn't be in the Fun Threads section. Twilight Zone: Season 4, Episode 4 - "He's Alive" Chilling. Sorry. He's Alive |

Wow. The writers of a popular TV series understood it could happen all over again in 1963.

Wow. The writers of a popular TV series understood it could happen all over again in 1963. Back then, however, in the viewing audience there were enough survivors of that experience and veterans of the war to (temporarily) vanquish it, to recognize the signs for what they were. Unfortunately, too many of us “Boomers” grew fat and stupid and overly focused on material crap (FYIGM) to give a rat’s ass. Sometimes I tremble for the fate of my children. |

There's auto racing and then there's auto racing. And then there's ... this.

That reminds me of demolition derby and also a multi-vehicle pileup in bad weather in the Sierras.

I always liked Heart. This is one of my favorites.

For a drum line (not intro) I always loved The Ocean.
I have always despised the song "Whole Lotta' Love." I thought it was awful the first time I heard it and my opinion hasn't changed. It's musical nails on a blackboard to me.

In light of recent events this is an interesting video of Will Smith from 1992.

These chairs were part of the very first new furniture purchase I ever made. I managed to scrounge stuff people were getting rid of or brought things from my old room to cover the living room and bedroom but I needed a kitchen/dining set. These were the chairs though with padded seats. They felt awesome when you rocked back on them. After I was married and upgraded they were passed on to another bachelor.

(raises hand) The really cheap knockoffs were what was ubiquitous in the ‘80s. That Jerk and I bought a dinette with that style—no padded seats, though—at a Hills for about $100 in 1987. Ten years, several moves, and a divorce later, the chairs were falling apart; the bolts holding the pieces together kept falling out and no amount of tightening could fix them. I can’t remember exactly how I got rid of them/the set. |

This is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time, especially coming from SNL. The two hosts of Weekend Update, one black and one white (see where this is going?), wrote each others jokes and then had to read them completely cold. Needless to say they're making each other say horrible things while (unsuccessfully) trying to keep straight faces.

A "Human Test" for those of us who work in an office. Ze Frank is the same guy who did a great set of nature videos called "True Facts About...".
