You Just Can't Reason With Hurricane Season

While we all saw a financial storm this week, it was only a few days ago that a real storm, Hurricane Ike, hit Texas. And a man in a bear costume. (Thanks to Bri in Chi-town.)

Keep your camera on the story this weekend. Happy Friday.

Monster Mash-Up

I finally saw the movie Predator for the first time ever last week (crazy, I know) and now this music video/movie mash-up finally makes sense. (Side note: it took 9 months to make and it sounds like it.)

Get to the chopper this weekend. Happy Friday.

Point, Counter-Point

The Republican National Convention is packing up after a week in the Twin Cities. Speaking of twins, here's a clip from John Stewart's Daily Show highlighting the way certain pundits talk out of both sides of their mouths.

Keep it fair and balanced this weekend. Happy Friday.

Summer Lovin', Had Me A Blast

Ready or not, it's Labor Day — a three-day weekend and the unofficial end of summer.

Where'd it go? What'd you do? More importantly, can you sing about those summer nights to your co-workers when you're hanging out by the water cooler?

To get you ready, here's the post-summer classic Summer Nights from Grease in Lego stop-motion. And while I'm not buying Lego-Travolta as a pilot with five o'clock shadow, I do think Rizzo's bitchiness comes through.

(Note: if Lego's not your bag, here's the original version.)

Tell us more this weekend. Happy Friday.

I Brake For Monster Booty

Some weeks you gotta give it up for a good idea. Like compiling the best monster booty hits of all time on one CD. Honestly, I thought this was a gag until I saw the bumper sticker and I realized no one could make that up. (Hat tip to Sam at YouVert.)

Get that platinum badonkadonk this weekend. Happy Friday.

Olympic Record

In honor of the Olympics, here's former track star Carl Lewis turning in a truly gold medal musical performance. (Close second: Carl's velvety version of the national anthem.)

Go for the gold this weekend. Happy Friday.

Total Eclipse of the Heart

In honor of today's total eclipse, here's a totally great cover of Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart by The Dan Band.

Pepper your songs with expletives this weekend. Happy Friday.
