After all these years, they can still rock really hard. Well, "hard" being pretty relative, that is. The show last night was fantastic, and can you believe that a band in their 50's would do three full encores? We couldn't even believe it!

Here's a taste of the tour, mostly for my brother, who couldn't make it. Be sure to catch the Hotlanta show, bro!

Happy Tuesday, Y'all!

Fresh off of TNOYF, it's Islamic Rage Boy's new hit single, Baby, What A Pack of Lies.

You'll be amazed at the talent that signed up to co-produce this song. Amazed, I tell ya!

Speaking of, we've got some pretty miserable weather here in the D.C. Metro area, so perhaps it's time for a little Miserable Monday pick-me-up. For today's entrée, here's a little instructional video on why office chairs + potholes do not mix:

I dunno about you, but I'm feeling better already!

Happy (Bonus) Friday, Y'all!

Hope to see y'all again real soon!

Wow, we haven't had one of these in forever! Bollywood videos with somewhat inaccurate "translations" are, in my humble opinion, comedy gold. Back when we first started running across these Buffalaxed videos, we even went so far as to set up the "Friday Fun" category to contain all of the hilarity, but were disappointed when Buffalax stopped producing his "masterpieces."

So, with all of that in mind, and without further ado, I present to you the eternal question:

American^* Girl

* Country of origin may vary.

Mrs. Snapped Shot has called and informed me that a recent order for an American Girl product has arrived. Don't go thinking that I've gone all batty or anything—allow me to point out that it's a birthday present for a certain little girl. It's not like I'm collecting them or anything.

("Yeah, that's the ticket!" Nervous laughter.)

So anyway, she had ordered this cute little item from their online store. Not a problem, right? Well, let's have a little look at what arrived:

Coconut's somewhat slow cousin, Dustmop!

I'm hoping that there are eyes under there somewhere, myself.

Now, if I've learned anything in life, it's that little girls are a very easily-amused demographic. I don't think we have to worry about li'l Dustmop here—She's definitely gonna be going to a loving home. It's just always an entertaining bit of fun whenever the real product has a bit of trouble stacking up to the marketing hype.

As an aside, the Mrs. also gleefully points out that the product, which I might remind you is a part of the American Girl line, is Made in China. Fortunately for all of us, that gives me the perfect excuse:
