Two things:

1. I and my very short attention span enjoy when videos cut immediately to the chase.

2. All TV interviews should be accompanied by this bearded gent.

ADVENTURES IN TRAFFIC: OOH-RAH! EDITION
["DID YOU ORDER THE 280ZX IN CODE RED?" "YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT I DID!"]

Saw this car outside of Walgreens the other day:

Adventures in Traffic - USMC Car

Just a guess, but I think the owner was a U.S. Marine.

Adventures in Traffic - USMC Car

Yep. Definitely a Marine.

Adventures in Traffic - USMC Car

Verily I say unto thee.

The hood flags are in repose at the moment.

The killshot, as it were, was right behind the front wheel well:

Gotta admit, it's kinda catchy as sniper war cries go.

THE 2010 CHRISTMAS SWEATER OF SHAME
[ASK NOT FOR WHOM THE SWEATER TOLLS. IT TOLLS FOR THEE]

You might remember the Christmas Sweater of Shame episode a few years back, during which I attempted to shame my dog Lincoln (also known as Doggy O'Kyle, Blackie McBlack-Black and The Dark Knight) through use of unnecessary apparel.

Anything pointless and funny once is worth repeating. Over and over again.

This year, we bought a new sweater for The Dark Knight and passed it down to his cousin Wheaton, who has been known to wear pajamas.

The results?

Christmas 2010

Depression.

Christmas 2010

And a forest of stress yawns.

Christmas 2010

God love Wheaton.

I'd lay like this on the cool tile, too, but I'm afraid it would attract attention.

Christmas 2010

Someone needed a hug.

Christmas 2010

Uhhh, Wheatie? Whatcha thinking about, pal?

Christmas 2010

Oh.
