Stay In School

Everyone's been workin' for the long weekend - but Labor Day is a bittersweet holiday. It honors the fact we work our tails off...and unofficially brings summer (and summer Fridays) to a close and sends us back to work.

But don't feel bad. Labor Day also means millions of children have to go back to school as well. Which is something Miss Teen South Carolina should strongly consider. (Props to DC and DanTek for the link.)

Get yourself a map this weekend. Happy Friday.

Unless We Get It Framed

Some weeks you rock so hard, you need to pause before the weekend and think back to how you got there. Like young Mikey Cera. He didn't wake up one morning and find himself in the country's #1 movie - he had to work at it. (OK, so I just saw Superbad and I'm trying to think how to weave this clip into the blog.)

Anyway, in honor of Superbad (which was a lot dirtier than I thought it'd be) here's a clip of Cera's early work as George Michael from that great TV show, Arrested Development.

Give someone you love a wedding ring... tone... this weekend. Happy Friday.

Holy Cow!

Was on vacation last week and came back to a Scooterless world. Phil Rizzuto was many things to many people (including the face of The Money Store). But maybe more amazingly in this day and age, he worked for the same company - the New York Yankees - as a player or broadcaster for almost 60 years. That's a lot of weeks spent workin' for the weekend.

Have a cannoli this weekend. Happy Friday.

Just Let Yourself Go

Weekends weren't just made for errands, laundry, brunch, binge drinking and (if you're married) runs to BB&B. They were also made for dancing.

Don't forget that, or Gil Gerard might have to come back from the 25th century to open a can of disco on you. (Thanks to DD for the link.)

Just remember - dancing by yourself is bad for your health this weekend. Happy Friday.
