A couple of days ago I linked to a Tumblr site mashing up Peanuts strips and Smiths lyrics. Of course, I found it via Mefi originally. In that thread someone jokingly riffed that Mary Worth should be paired with Alan Ginsberg’s Howl. Which cortex thoughtfully threw together here: http://www.joshmillard.com/2013/08/15/mary-worths-howl/. Which is yet another reason why…

Someone (me) has been reading DownGoesBrown during baseball season again. Boo me! On the other hand, here’s another great article. This one talks about how to fix hockey at the NHL level. Can’t say as I disagree with a single suggestion here. Oh, and isn’t it time for hockey season to start yet?

The recommended viewing that YouTube adds to that is also pretty much great. However, the very best thing in that thread is an ASL interpreter at a Black Eyed Peas…
Okay, Dog Shaming is fun. There’s a few examples I’ve got laying about too.
