Weekend Fun

This is a bit off the beaten path:

Apparently the video was featured on Ellen DeGeneres' talk show which I'll admit I sometimes watch and is actually better than you'd think.

Matt, you are a lot closer to the median voter than you know.

You're gonna have to do another Spoon post to regain your coolness.

This video was popular, what, a year ago? Methinks someone has his head in the sand.

Seriously, next Matt's going to be telling us that all our base are belong to him.

Yeah, I saw this on Consumerist a LONG time ago...definitely becoming like your median voter...

This is also further evidence for my theory that shitty, Crazy Eddie-style advertising is at least as effective as hiring Michael Bay or whatever.

This has long been one of my Youtube favorites.

Remember, it's simple:

(Living rooms + bedrooms + dinettes) = flea market = mini mall

Of course, I in my experience mini mall usually also = bagel shop + Chinese takeout, but I'm not from Montgomery.

Now the reason for Matt's support of Obama becomes clear. He's been watching too much Oprah in the afternoons.

Well, it's better than the Gin Blossoms.

Some band called Family Force 5 got him out to one of their concerts:

I'd like that chartreuse highboy on the back left. And this guy would be much cooler if he was doing his thang wearing a taffata dress with patent leather shoes and a strap.

I love America.

Everyone who thinks this guy should replace Ambinder on The Table raise your hand.

Ugh, this is like year-old viral video. I'm disgusted.

But as long as we're busting out classics, I want to make sure everyone's seen this:

Probably the funniest youtube I've seen to date.
