Emerald Catron — Mon, 13 May 2013 19:14:38 +0000

Why watch ‘The Great Gatsby’ when you could watch ‘The Great Catsby’??? We had that same thought, bu Guyism went one step farther and created this mashup using the trailer’s audio and clips from ‘The Aristocats’ to make ‘The Great Catsby.’ At least, we’re pretty sure it’s a mashup. To be quite honest, it’s been [...]

We’re still a little apprehensive after all of yesterday’s April Fool’s shenanigans, so we didn’t believe this was real at first.

I'm Going To Read It Again

Jerry Puffer — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 17:05:00 +0000

I just finished reading an outstanding book on one of my real heroes...F. Scott Fitzgerald. Through the years, I've read everything I could my hands on about Fitzgerald, along with many of his books.

Emerald Catron — Wed, 07 Nov 2012 17:28:16 +0000

Donald Deane — Fri, 19 Oct 2012 15:44:09 +0000

The WDR Symphony Orchestra adds a much-needed touch of class to flash mobs by rapidly convening in a square in Germany and serenading the assembled crowd with a piece of music. Of course, their decision to play the 'Star Wars' theme makes the whole thing border on geeky, but we're okay with that.
