Dr. Seuss Contributes to The Onion

On the fourteenth of March, in towns nationwide,
In every cinema, multiplex, on every barnside,
Gleamed another adapting of one of my books,
CGI-ed and digitized by another sly crook.

The rest is here: Stop Making Movies About My Books.

It's funny because it's true...

The Rockies Playoff Run...

...Super Mario Style:

Only in New Hampshire...

We went to Riverview Farm in Plainfield this morning to pick up some pumpkins. We got some good ones - don't worry, we will have the annual Jack-o-lantern post as soon as they are carved. But Ann overheard a very funny conversation:

Mom (to worker): I want you to know your cat just scratched my daughter!

Worker: Well, your kid shouldn't have touched the cat. We don't call him Mr. Bitey for nothing!

Mom: (walks off in a huff)

Only in New Hampshire.

This American Life

I love This American Life, but this Onion article is hilarious:

In what cultural anthropologists are calling a "colossal achievement" in the study of white-collar professionals, the popular radio show has successfully isolated all 7,442 known characteristics of college graduates who earn between $62,500 and $125,000 per year and feel strongly that something should be done about global warming.

I love Jerry Remy

This video is why I never turn off the TV during a Red Sox game, even if it is a blowout. Because you never know when the Rem Dawg is going to go off on one of his crazy tangents:



While we are on the topic of baseball, this Sportscenter video cracked me up.

[One of these days I'll have to post something that isn't about baseball.]

Manny being Manny

Ah, The Onion:

SANTO DOMINGO, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC-While watching a live spring-training report from the Boston Red Sox training facility in Fort Myers, FL on SportsCenter Wednesday, outfielder Manny Ramirez reportedly told his family that he "had the weirdest feeling [he] should be somewhere else right now." "I don't know what it is... Am I usually someplace else at this time of year?" Ramirez asked his wife, adding that the people on television looked vaguely familiar and that he felt "the strangest urge" to be in Florida. "Wait, is that guy there on the TV... is that Big Papi? But why would he be in Florida now?" According to Ramirez's wife, her husband then looked at the calendar on the wall, frowned, and continued to watch television while idly popping an old ball into his baseball glove.

Cheap Toy Roundup

Every year I read The Onion's Cheap Toy Roundup, and every year it cracks me up. This year is no exception.
