June’s Top Five Videos

 
5. When the power of suggestion meets the desire for human contact.



 
4. This is just what our country needs. I am already in the movie theatre!



 
3. Believers, if this is the face of the enemy, then why are you worried?



 
2. The truly sad thing is, is that this is happening with the support of a good portion of America’s poor. I’m beginning to think that the American dream and the snake that eats itself is one and the same.

May’s Top Five Videos

 
5. Evolution + Dean Martin + Guinness = One good commercial. (To be honest, I couldn’t care less about Guinness, but still, a good commercial)



 
4. After reading some of the demands that Katy Perry makes on concert promoters, I felt the sudden urge to watch Ricky Gervais’ rant on celebrities. (I was going to say that I needed to “shower off with Ricky Gervais’ rant”, but that would have just come out all wrong)



 
3. Randy ‘Macho Man’ Savage, you were so good that no one cared when you peddled your Slim Jims. RIP, Randy. The beat goes on…



 
2. There are no stray bullets. A poem by Naomi Shihab Nye.

5. It’s amazing that people are still being made into criminals for it this stuff.



 
 

4. What? Don’t look at me. My wife sent me this.

4. Got this one from Lisa, and am posting it because, though Lord I have tried to get interested in fabric (her passion) I nevertheless feel like I’ve been hit with a rubber mallet every time I walk into Romni Wools. Anyhoo, this has fabric in it, AND I find it fascinating! A first!!
