Nineteen seasons’ worth of Simpsons episodes means a lot of couch gags. We’ll see how long this stays up on YouTube before Fox takes it down.

An inspirational video for once. Who says Pie Heaven has to be just stupid news reporters, funny dogs and laughing babies? (PS: Watch this all the way to the end, or it is anything but inspirational.)

Last night, I saw the feature-length documentary Young @ Heart about a chorus made up entirely of senior citizens that sing rock songs. It was amazing — by far the best film I’ve seen all year. These old people deliver some of the best performances I’ve ever seen.
Here are a few of Young @ Heart’s best music videos:
Stayin’ Alive / I Will Survive…
I Wanna be Sedated…
Road to Nowhere…
You owe it to yourself to go see this documentary! And if you live in Los Angeles, Young @ Heart is singing live NEXT THURSDAY, April 17th. Come join me!

A profile piece on Ernie Brown, Jr., a guy from the Kentucky backwoods who catches snapping turtles with his bare hands. (Snapping turtles, as you might know, can bite off your fingers in one chomp…yet somehow Ernie’s still got all ten of his.) This guy is awesome, and a great character…check out this video:
