Flashback: 30 Years Ago Today, The Fonz Jumped A Shark

What the hell am I talking about, you ask? Well, serendipity would have it that I was talking to someone about the expression "jumping the shark" today. This term comes from the infamous moment on September 20, 1977, when "The Fonz" from "Happy Days" donned his famous leather jacket, went water skiing, and jumped a shark on his skis. TV critics and anyone with taste or brains realized this was the moment the show had finally killed itself; the moment the original premise of the show was so betrayed, its vision having veered so off course, that there was no point going on. And it's used now to describe the moment that anything betrays its original purpose. And what do you know, it was thirty years ago to the day. Freaky, man.

Don't Listen To The Fonz

Fonzie, the rough and tough "bad boy" on Happy Days, appears in this PSA to teach kids a little known self-defense tool called "the honk." I've never heard of it, I've never used it, and even if a situation called for it, I'd rather keep my mouth shut and cling to my ego instead.

Happy Canada Day!

I thought I missed Canada Day yesterday, but I didn't (lingering effects from ~~chugging Robitussin~~ Robotripping, I suppose). Well, here's my salute to the country that brought you Kids in the Hall, Ryan Gosling (yummers!), and Celine Dion. Happy Canada Day!

Happy Hump Day!

What better way to celebrate Wednesday than with a video of animals gone hump wild? They're either really open-minded or very confused. Speaking of "getting around"--bunnies really deserve their reputation. Give it a rest, guys!

Happy Caturday!

Mother's Day is tomorrow, so what better way to celebrate it than with a sappy cat video showing a kitten's love for her mom? This mother cat/kitten duo are so fuzzy that it's hard to see where one ends and the other begins (like many mothers and their children - minus the fuzzy part!). My favorite part is when the kitten, after getting some lovin', nudges mom when she stops, as if to say, "Hey! What do you think you're doing?" Happy (almost) Mother's Day!

Happy Caturday!

How fitting is it that Happy Caturday and Valentine's Day are on the same day! Some of you may have seen this Platonic ideal of kitten before (and yes, she's real!), and I doubt you'll complain about seeing her again. She and I would like to wish you a double happiness Valentine's Caturday! Because as we all know - kittens = love.
