It Has a Good Beat & c.

Here's a musical offering that is basically every '80s video ever:



If you look closely you can spot Mr. Bean.

The Hot Wheels on the Loop Go Round and Round

Inspired by JJV's Saab post (I also did not know that Saab's started with 2-stroke engines... Weedwhackers on wheels!), we're sticking with a cars theme.

So, this is what happens when children of the 70s & 80s grow up. Forget 1:64 scale, this is 1:1 full scale from the 2012 X Games in LA.

Orange track... check!
Loop... check!
Jump... check!
Brightly painted Hot Wheels cars... check!
Gravity drop? We don't need no stinking drop. We have engines!

Go for launch in 3... 2... 1... Zoom!

It's the little things

Sometimes one needs to step back and smile. This is definitely one of those times and today I did just that. I really don't know why this made me smile as much as I did. It's just a silly thing from a silly song from 20 years ago that I haven't heard since then. But, hey, who's to argue when something makes you smile.

Yes it's a real item. Blue Canary in the Outlet by the Light Switch. Follow the link to see and buy!

For those who get the reference, I hope you smiled, too. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, see the Alternative band They Might Be Giants and the song.
