Coolio, Where Are Youio?

Does anyone know what ever happened to Coolio?

Explanation: For some reason, Gangster's Paradise popped into my head the other day and I wondered what ever happened to Coolio. What do you think? Is he a Senator from Minnesota? Did he ride his big wheel into the Pacific Ocean, never to be heard from again? Did Biggie (R.I.P.) sit on him? I want to know!

Special Blog Bonus: Some people have too much time on their hands. But, without these people, we couldn't waste our own time watching clever videos made with LEGOs about 8-bit video games.

It's Witchcraft!

How do you fold an egg? It's impossible. It's witchcraft!

Explanation: Carrie has absolutely no baking skills and is roped into making a cake for a church bake sale. Eventually they just put icing on a couch cushion and hilarity ensues.

No Pain!

I must say, I feel surprisingly good, considering that I had volleyball last night.

Explanation: If you recall, last week I played volleyball for the first time in a long long time and came home feeling like this:


Today, I feel no pain whatsoever. Of course, part of that could be because after driving the half hour down to the facility, I discovered that there were no volleyball players there. Apparently, the open gym last Wednesday was a one-time only thing and not a weekly event. Maybe I should have asked, huh? I must say, few things are worse than driving an hour for absolutely no reason.

Of course, there was the time that I was on my cell phone and started a three hour drive by going twenty minutes in the wrong direction on the highway, turning it into a three hour and forty minute drive. That was worse. The lesson there is to not use your cell phone while driving.

And, as added fun today: A Nintendo Quiz! I got 68% (17/25), which is a D- where I come from. How will you do?

When you're done with that, you should see this site, which features complete maps from several popular video games (past and present).

My Fair Fergie

How come every time you come around my London, London Bridge wanna come down?

Explanation: Remember, this is from the singer of My Humps. The meaning is probably not much deeper than that thing that hens should be doing with some bird that isn't a chicken or a rooster. So, turning to less colorful subject matter, let's just think about some other things that fall down:

• Humpty Dumpty
  
• The Tacoma Narrows Bridge
  
• At least one person on every drive to the hoop in a women's basketball game
  
• Soccer players, but only when breathed upon
  
• The company stock price
  
• The ball in this game (which is conveniently called "Fall Down")
  
• Every other ball Terrell Owens was thrown last season
  
• Every other ball Rex Grossman threw last season
  
• Ashes, ashes, we all do
  
• Anything you drop from a building, like for instance, a cat
  
• Is it too soon for a Gerald Ford joke?
  
• And, of course:

You know, this video is edited for television. Kids watch it. It would be on MTV if they showed videos anymore. And still, it seems just a little inappropriate. Oh well. If you prefer something a little less racy, here's a video on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse, narrated by the most boring professor you ever had in college.
