The Seven Adorable Wonders of the World, Part 2

Just videos this time. And I might not even have the final two yet. But I do have these. And these will set your eyes on fire. And when they melt, they will turn into gooey little candies that taste like rainbows. Warm rainbows.

DRUNK BABY

Have you seen this? It will destroy you. I can't wait to see this whole movie. This will win the Oscar shorts next year. If it doesn't I'll punch every Oscar voter in their brains. Because they are broken.

OTTERS HOLDING HANDS

I know you've seen this. But let's watch it again. Let's all buy otters and put them in our bathtubs. No. Let's clear out the living room and make it an otter room. And watch their little tiny arms all day. Until we die. From bliss.

The Seven Adorable Wonders of the World, Part 1

Not all Seven are here yet. I have to think about this. But I'm taking suggestions. And pictures. This all started last night when I told Valerie that Richard Scarry's book "I Am a Bunny" is one of the Seven Adorable Wonders of the World.

So this is Number 1.

Get this book. I mean it. Buy it. Your mouth will hurt with the perpetual 'aw' sound that comes out. This picture doesn't even do it justice. When he plays with butterflies, you might die. If you want to look at some scans of it, go here.

Number 2.

What the crap is this? Who did this and how is a normal human being supposed to ignore this? I am face melting with cuteness.

Number 3

Yeah, that's right. Watch it. Or Darth Vader, "he'll getcha!"

I can't even post the rest yet. My eyeballs and feelings hurt.

How Stuff Works and Stuff

Stuff You Should Know podcast.

The best thing since sliced bread. Well, the best thing since This American Life which is the best thing since Prairie Home Companion.

Go here. Download them all to your itunes. Love them.
Chuck and Josh are easily two of the most likeable radio/podcast/audio personalities I've ever listened to.

This is how it started. Our friend Adriann told us to come to this quiz bowl at The Bell bar. She said that two guys from her favorite podcast, something called Stuff You Should Know, were hosting it. We said sure. No big deal. We'll go.

And uh-oh, who was there? Ira freaking Glass. I gave Valerie full permission to leave me and marry him if the opportunity arose. It did not. But not because of lack of trying.
After the quiz bowl, which we did not win, Chuck and Josh got up and thanked everyone. They gave a signed pizza box from their celebrity table to the winners. So afterwards, we approached them with a signed pizza box from our table. With our names. I signed as Mr. T. Because I feel like maybe he would have wanted to be there. He pities fools. And fools are people who don't know things.

They were super cool. I guess we only really talked to Chuck. Make that Chuck: super cool. Josh: could be cool. And then the rest was aural history.

They play constantly in my company van. (Oh, that's right. I have a company van. Because I'm awfully gangster.)

Everyone should listen to this. I promise nothing but enjoyment. In fact, I will send you money if you do not experience chuckles and wisdom.

In fact, I'm going to propose that as their tagline: "Chuckles and Wisdom."
