The Oscar's are Tonight!

This will remind you of some crucial scenes in the best movies of the year, in a slightly cuter way than the original:



I think 12 Years A Slave will take home the big prize, with Cate Blanchett and Matthew McConaughey taking the major acting awards. What was your favorite movie of the year?

Best Olympic Moments So Far...

I love the Olympics. The pageantry, the tradition, the thrill of gold and the agony of the near-miss and the long four year wait for redemption. Plus, there's no end to the amount of crazy that happens. Here are my highlights so far:

This insane trick. I went to Deer Valley in Utah for a long weekend my senior year of high school, and saw the freestyle moguls course from the 2002 Salt Lake Games. It was STEEP, and the moguls were ginormous. I couldn't imagine taking the run, let alone hitting a huge jump and doing an aerial maneuver in the middle of it. And this guy does a front flip! Craziness.

Bob Costas' eyeballs. It's impossible not to be transfixed by the pink-eye infection seen around the globe. Thank God he abdicated his Olympic commentating throne, giving way to the infection-free Matt Lauer. It's awfully difficult to watch a German take a luge run at 80 miles/hour after staring at THOSE EYES for 15 minutes. Makes a person queasy. (But at least he could try the local spirits without anyone noticing.)

For all the pre-Games critiques of the shoddy hotels, corrupt organizers, and subpar facilities, there have been some gorgeous views of the Caucasus mountains. 

Check out more crazy, gravity-defying photos here.

(Although the stories emerging from journalists and athletes in Sochi are pretty epic.)

But even with all the eye-grossness and having to see Putin on TV all the time, it's pretty cool seeing someone this happy.

Epic Dance-off

My goal in 2014 is to smile as big as the chubby kid in the red shirt... This dance-off at the Palace led to this appearance on Jimmy Kimmel... Hilarious!

"Buzz...your girlfriend..."

"WOOF!"

Everyone remembers this immortal scene. A Home Alone Kevin McAllister rummages through his older brother's room and happens upon a portrait of his unfortunate looking girlfriend. 

Enjoy these new takes on that iconic scene:

I so should have thought of this too:

Merry Christmas!

April Fools Gone Wrong!

This is amazing.

'And the next thing I knew, there was law everywhere....their response was excellent.'
Priceless.

Filling Out Your Bracket?

I like the way this kid thinks. Michigan to the finals - hey, I'll take it. Not likely, but that's why they call it March Madness.

Some tips (but don't complain to me when they're wrong!):

• Usually it's the 12 over 5 seed that's a lock every year, but this year I like every 5 to advance.
• It's the 11 vs. 6 matchup that I see being the source of real drama. Usually something like 31% of 11 vs. 6's result in upsets, but this year I like at least 3 of them. Which ones? Your guess is as good as mine. How about Minny, Belmont, and St. Mary's?
• Could some even higher seeds win and advance? Don't even mention South Dakota St.! How about Valpo?? Nah, I don't like them either to win. With both in-state teams playing in the friendly Palace, I think they each win their first two games.
•  Last year two 15 seeds won - could the unthinkable happen again? No.
• But a 14 could make some noise - I see Marquette being a vulnerable 3 seed. Maybe underdog Davidson could give a scare.
•  Is the Big Ten finally going to break through and end it's 13 year title drought this April in the ATL? I think so. Sparty, the hated Buckeyes, those gouge-your-eyes-out-because-they're-so-boring Badgers, even the least experienced team in the field, your Michigan Wolverines, could advance to the Georgia Dome. But it's the LoosiersHoosiers I see cutting down the nets and concluding the annual One Shining Moment montage. 

Ya got that? Look for most of these educated guesses to be wrong because, hey - it's March Madness! Good luck!

To Get You Ready For The Oscars...

National Shih Tzu Day, featuring Bo

 

*Not actually Bo....maybe a long lost cousin.

 

So comfy!

 

A Bo-rrito!

 

 

A Bo-prechaun? Luck of the Bo-rish? I don't even know.

 

Bo - where are your legs?

 

 

Sadly, however, he's not quite as smart as we thought.



A Pep Talk

Not cool, Robert Frost!

Crazy Wheelchair Guy Rushes Court

Hey, it was against Duke, what do you expect?

 

The craziest part - NC State's best player CJ Leslie probably saved this guy from a sure trampling and held him 'for a couple of minutes' while they located his chair. Talk about a game-winning assist!

Great Prank

This is awesome.

Over the Next Few Days...

...I will reenact this several times. Just not with a banana. Because bananas are gross.

A Little Humor...

This election lended itself to being made fun of maybe moreso than any other in history. Enjoy!
