Meet the Vikings…

Sunday, June 7th, 2009

What can one say? I love the Muppet Show.  This is really perfect, from the song selection to the off-key execution.

No more polka Grammy

Sunday, June 7th, 2009

This is kind of sad news.  Not that I’m a huge polka fan, but it seems sad.

I’ve always been kind of proud of my valedictory address, but Jeffrey Rowland has shown me the error of my ways.

SMO must allow all aircraft (so far)

Muppet Show links

If you’re reading Wil Wheaton’s blog, as all right thinking Americans are, you’ve already seen this commercial that’s got every 14-year-old boy in the country giggling.
