Your Childhood Repressed Memories Unpressed...Depressed? ...Pressed? [Terrifying Any Way You Put It]

You were a small child. The TV was on. You were too little to pick the channel. You didn't know any better. It's OK. It's not your fault.

It was called Zoobilee Zoo. You thought you'd gotten past it. Completely erased the memory of those half-human, half animal creatures frolicking around in that magical land. Traumatizing your sensitive-child sensibilities. You thought you had completely repressed it.

But one day, the fateful YouTube link from a friend followed by "Remember this one?"

Brace yourself because you do remember. You've seen this before. Though you wish you never had.

Oh Yeah, That's Right: I'm Posting a Video of Pandas Riding Down a Slide [Cute Overload Better Watch Its Back]

Because its faux-Friday (at least for me as I'm taking tomorrow off--NYC here I come!)...

And because I'm sniffly (and still trying to pretend it's "allergies") and this makes me happy.



If this does not make you happy, you have no soul.*

*Interesting factoid: when you Google Image Search "no soul" this is what you get. <--NSFW if you work in a Borat-unfriendly environment.

Crazy People Jump Into The Atlantic In The Middle Of February To Show Punxsutawney Phil Who's The Boss [Winter Is The New Tony Danza]

This Saturday, I had the distinct pleasure of witnessing 100s of crazy people in costumes run into the Atlantic Ocean. In Massachusetts. In mid-February. I think it had something to do with showing up that stupid groundhog and raising money for charity. But mostly I think it was about dressing in costumes and being crazy. Two things I approve of way more than rodents and charities.

I wrote up the event for Bostonist, and since I'm nothing if not a lazy blogger, I'm going to make you click through to their site to read the full article. Though I can promise there is at least one Bill Murray reference. And nothing beats a Bill Murray reference. Not even a video of Bill Murray beating himself with a stick. Though that would come pretty close.

Since my DivMo audience ain't so hot for reading words, here are some of my favorite pictures from the event.
