It is the cutest of all the sports my kids have played.
I get a frillion emails every day asking me to post about this or that on my blog. And you know what? For over a year I’ve been filtering them all into the trash and don’t even bother to read them anymore.
This is how you do it. I’m about to post a Toyota ad video here. I found it serendipitously and it made me laugh my ass off.
Brilliant.
(Do I really have to add that I haven’t been compensated to post this? I didn’t think so. You all know I don’t play that game.)
The other day for some reason I remembered the beat-up apartment I lived in when I lived in LA. At first I couldn’t even remember the city, but after googling ‘towns near Venice, CA’ I remembered it was Mar Vista. (And then I felt really old.)
Then I remembered it was right near the Mar Vista Bowl, so I googled that, switched to Street View, and drove over to my old place. Amazing! 10 years ago I would have just been left with a nagging question about where this place was.

Wow, the place is really fancy looking now. Flowers, a metal gate, new shingles… It looks nothing like when I lived there. The window in the front was mine, and right under that was where this crazy woman would rev her Camaro from 6-6:30 every morning. It was awesome.
Kirsten Dunst in a great remake of a fun Vapors song from the 80s. (A few seconds of moderately NSFW cartoons.)
Update: bummer, the video has been deleted. Now you have to enjoy this live version by the Vapors instead.
Via boing boing.
