This seems like an apt enough metaphor for the “young professional” stage of my life.

So that’s what happens when you get a Lincoln Navigator. Watch at least the first 10 seconds- I got a big kick out of this.

I’m not going to go so far as to say that my parents have too much time on their hands now that they’re empty-nesters, but I will, without comment, present to you, this picture, emailed to me by my dad, of a golden retriever wearing a tie. (They couldn’t get the hat to stay on.)
(Their other dog, apparently not worthy of being suckered into the photo shoot can be seen off to the side).

Little bit of brilliance: Funny or Die dressed up Jewel in a disguise and sent her out to a kareoke bar to sing her own songs. Love it.

This is definitely a metaphor for something. I want to say it’s a metaphor for… the oil spill? No, no- it’s a metaphor for big business. Or it’s an illustration of Keynesian multiplier in a post-recession economy? That’s got to be it.

It should be horrifyingly clear by now that I like pictures of dogs wearing human clothing and appear to be smiling. Let’s all just carry on and pretend this never happened.

Okay sports fans, I have eased up on the LOST posts (probably because the show isn’t on the air anymore, but I’m just hazarding a guess here), but… how great is this hoodie? Any guesses what it’s called? Yep, it’s called “815.”

"I enjoy visiting Canada, but it always freaks me out at the airport when I have to trade a bunch of real American money for their pretend Canadian money. That’s a real leap of faith. I worry that when I give a colorful Canadian $20 bill to the lady who works at Le Burger King she’ll look at it and say, “They sold this to you at the airport, didn’t they?” And I’ll say, “You’re not going to give me hamburgers in exchange for it, are you?” And she’ll just slowly shake her head."
