Videos to Make You Laugh

Here are a couple of videos that are, imho, hysterical. White and Nerdy is by Weird Al and may just be a theme song but The Evolution of Dance is for anyone who ever listened to bad music--watch the whole thing!

Poor Wolverines...

Alas, the Wolverines were taken down by the Bucks...so very, very sad! A good time was had by all though!

OSU fans are not known for their fashion sense or great hair...

Herman turns to technology to help him view the game on Rich's 11" TV screen.

Spoiled Kitty or Stupid Owner?

I spent $159 on a litter box today and I just know it was a totally reasonable purchase. I have been trying to explain to Bianca (my kitty) that it is an early Christmas present for her and that she is a very lucky kitty! It plugs in! It has a clock! It cleans itself! How could she not wax rapturous in her delight to have such a modern gizmo? She, however, refuses to see reason. She keeps talking about the rake of death that is automatically triggered every time she leaves the box and that she can't tell time anyway.

So maybe it is a gift for me! Auto-clean and auto-torture! Gotta love technology! :)
