The Coolest Guy in the World

From CollegeHumor.com… watch as this guy takes on Gas Works, the U-District, and campus with his crazy skills:

Go Huskies!

George Carlin Baseball vs. Football

This is an oldie but a goodie, and thought I would share as the baseball season winds down and in advance of the Huskies visit to South Bend tomorrow.  Hopefully they have better luck stopping the “sustained ground attack” against the Irish than they did against Stanford.

Get It In The Can

Courtesy of Ms Ronan.  Her analysis:

I’m curious how these language changes come about, and where exactly the borders lie between accents.  Where does Midwest become West?  Where does New England fade [...]

YouTube Viral Hit + iTunes “Genius”

The reason I bring it up is because, having already seen the video, I bought the song on iTunes yesterday after their “Genius” tool recommended it for me.  I wonder how many other [...]

Fiesta Movement

El Seis de Mayo

This guy had one too many Coronas last night:
