Hilarious video from the Onion about something that will probably happen.

Good God. She’s so damn adorable I want to shrink her up, put her on my keychain, and take her everywhere with me.
The heroic efforts of 500,000+ people on Facebook’s Betty White on SNL (please?) page resulted in the 88 1/2 year old treasure hosting SNL last night. Here’s her monologue:
And here’s a sketch with Tina Fey: (I didn’t know Tina Fey was still on SNL???)
Love it love it love it love it love it love it. Created by a friend of mine who hosts an annual Pac Man tournament.
I will watch this 10 more times today.

I’ve kept this video on standby for years, locked and loaded for an easy, instant laugh.
Happy Monday. (You may have to double click on the black space below to start the video.)
Footage of the 6.5 earthquake in Northern California taken at the Times-Standard newspaper office in Eureka, California. What’s amazing is the dog, Sophie. Moments before the earthquake, she sniffs the ground, then bolts like a bat out of hell. The office soon starts shaking like it’s on a jello mold and florescent bulbs explode. What have we learned? Florescent bulbs suck.
I’m moving to San Francisco, but my husband and I travel too much to get a dog. So far a Roomba is the closest thing we can get to a pet.
…and you love the stories and interviews on This American Life, The Story, and Fresh Air – then you’ll dig – and may even remember – this interview from Weekend America with Dock Ellis about pitching a no-hitter in the 70s while he was tripping on acid. A collective called No Mas came across the interview and produced this Bakshi-esque animation for the interveiw.
As the animators put it – with all the asterisks being added to steroidal athlete’s statistics, this record deserves a giant exclamation point next to it.
Possibly the coolest cover of the year. The creative collective from Milk Studios in NYC, Legs, has created this visual/audio interpretation of Iggy Pop’s I Wanna Be Your Dog. Reveling in the snakey desperation and relative anonymity of the casting process, the staccato percussion is captured in the models’ feet tapping and nail drumming, while the lyrics are the audition scripts. And all of it intercut with the director/creative’s detached, withering appraisal. Really well done. Dig the music. Love the lighting.
Director: Georgie Greville
I’ve been traveling and working so much lately, I didn’t have time to gift wrap this. But I thought you could use a little piece of perfect to get you through the end run of the year. This movie clip is clearly one of my favorites, with pitch-perfect art direction, outstanding casting, and sick-sick dark humor. I love it.
It’s a story from Woody Allen’s dark, self-reflective comedy, “Deconstructing Harry.” Underrated in my book.
I can’t believe the ______ Idol and ______’s Got Talent franchises reach so far…but here is the winner from Ukraine’s Got Talent. And it’s pretty impressive.
Now for the bad news: I predict Working Through Emotions with Sand Painting will replace bead workshops in all those goddess gatherings. Expect frumpy frauleins to be swaying to crystal dolphin music while they express their Divine Feminine in trays of backlit sand. And the return of the sand candle as an offshoot.
