Sound Your Funky Horn

Some weeks the b-side is the best. Here's a special request from/congrats shout-out to Sweet Stacey for some Friday Funk courtesy of KC & The Sunshine Band.

And since you've been working all week, here's some other things you've might have missed...

A US Airways pilot accidentally discharged his gun in the cockpit during a flight from Denver to Charlotte, N.C., according to the Transportation Safety Administration. Sadly, nothing in that previous sentence is sexual innuendo for getting into the Mile High Club.

A 21-year-old man says he feels "pretty good," four months after he was declared brain dead and doctors were about to remove his organs for transplant. In other news, people waiting for those organs say they feel "pretty bad."

Attendance at a Buddhist temple in Japan has increased since the temple's pet, a two-year-old dog, has joined in the daily prayers. Conan, a Chihuahua, sits on his hind legs, raises his paws and puts them together at the tip of his nose. Not to be outdone, the Pope has installed a toilet-trained cat in the Vatican bathrooms.

A study of 6,583 adults found that people with the highest amount of abdominal fat between the ages of 40 and 45 were about three times more likely to develop dementia than those with the lowest amount. On the plus side, Kirstie Alley can look forward to not remembering her Jenny Craig ads.

Aníbal S. Acevedo Vilá, the governor of Puerto Rico, has been charged with 19 criminal counts related to the financing of three political campaigns from 1999 to 2004, including conspiracy to violate federal campaign laws, wire fraud and illegally using campaign funds for his personal use. Finally, a governor who remembers his job is to screw the public.

An attorney who once made People magazine's list of America's "Most Eligible Bachelors" was acquitted Wednesday of raping a 19-year-old woman, narrowly avoiding this year's list of America's "Most Eligible for Parole in 20 Years."

And finally, this 8-year-old totally shredding it on a Flying V.

Sound your funky horn this weekend. Happy Friday.

Just Trying To Help The Economy

Some weeks you get caught with your pants down. And if you happen to be the governor of NY, David Letterman might just make a Top 10 List about it.

Keep your client number to yourself this weekend. Happy Friday.

Cat Power

I don't know why this is funny, but it is. Maybe because it's so simple - a cat, some string and some cut-out photos. But it does prove W.C. Fields' line - "Never work with animals or children."

Get your disguise on this weekend. Happy Friday.

You'll Find The Whole World For What You're Looking For

It's Leap Day. I've always wondered what it's like to be born on February 29 - are you only 1/4 your age because your birthday rolls around every 4 years?

Maybe Irving Fields is a Leap Day kid, because he acts as if he's a quarter of his 92 years - especially after writing this catchy theme song for YouTube, called "YouTube Dot Com." (We'll forgive that he calls it "the YouTube.")

Tickle some ivories this weekend. Happy Friday.

He Is The Walrus

Sorry about last week, but as the president of this blog I took the week off to celebrate Presidents Day weekend. Speaking of presidents, here's my nominee for the Baby Beatle President - Hero Ha.

This kid can rock a house party at the drop of a hat - as long as it's before his bed time and you like Beatle's songs. And as for the police sirens in the background, all I can say to the fuzz is - you can not stop Hero Ha, you can only hope to contain him.

Sing a song standing on your sofa this weekend. Happy Friday.

My Morning Glory Says Hello To You

Some weeks you gotta toot your own horn - so here's a little Valentine's project I just finished. It's a music video about the morning after Valentine's Day called Breakfast in Bed. Check out the the full site and spread the love at imadeyoubreakfastinbed.com.

Masticate with someone you love this weekend. Happy Friday.

Grind (Rail) House

You do you work every week and maybe it's good and maybe it's not so good. But if you could just film what you do in slo-mo with a soaring musical score and add a few explosions, well, then it would be awesome.

Seriously, though - these kids can skate - even with the pyrotechnics all around them. (Props to Bri in Chi-town for the link.)

Bust an ollie this weekend. Happy Friday.
