This weekend in Canada is the Victoria Day long weekend. We get this holiday to celebrate the birthday of the current Canadian monarch - its named Victoria Day as she was Canada’s first monarch. Ask most people on the street however, and most will not be able to tell you why we get the long weekend. What we do know though, is that it usually signals the beginning of summer. And we love summer. You would too if you were subjected to Canadian winters.
Since the weather in Vancouver is so nice this weekend, I can almost guarantee you that most of us Vancouverites will be hitting the outdoors and water in some fashion or another. So for those of you not in Canada and having to wait for your May long weekend, I’ve provided you this video to join us vicariously.
Removing the feline star from Garfield, we are left alone with sidekick, Jon Arbuckle. Alone, facing Jon, stoned in quiet contemplation and deep rooted personal loathe or meth blitzed and orgasmic over fuzzy slippers, we find that Garfield can finally realize his goal to become a LOLcat.
Deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness and methamphetamine addiction in a quiet American suburb. Really, with Garfield, this comic was standing arm and arm in lame comradeliness with Family Circus.

In a week filled with news from the US Primaries, this video seemed like a great reprieve from the sniping from Hillary’s camp at Obama and a needed breath of comedy. Taking a page from Obama, former presidential hopeful Mike Gravel tried to move in on Obama Girl. Throw in Obama Girl, Mike Gravel, and a little crank dat groove, you are sure to giggle. The video won me when Mike actually threw down some Soulja Boy moves and gave a shout out to the twitterati. Enjoy!
Hi. I think that I am becoming jaded. Things just aren’t amusing me as they used to and, to be honest, in embracing my cynicism, I am proud to present my newfound sense of humor: Old people dancing. I am meh about the ghost rider phenom, since it represents stupid southern gangata lame-rap, but partnered with an old aged pensioners ride which looks strikingly like a short bus we have a real gold winner. Pppppeace.
Despite having one of the meanest record collections on the west side, I have never wanted to be the next Pete Tong. Loved the idea of being the DJ’s girlfriend just so I could carry his crates and hit front of the line so I could stinkeye the rest of the mallrats in lineup, I am now changing my tune. After watching my video of the week featuring the Littlest, and kinda lame, gangsta, I want to do a dance remix with the hook being “I yanked the, I yanked the, I yanked the thing” seen between 0:26-0:30. That was gold.
Michael Jackson’s sabbatical in Dubai seems to be rubbing off on his dance moves. On Britain’s Got Talent, MJ - or at least a really good impersonator - graced us with his new found middle eastern inspired groove. I love how the usually unflappable brits Simon and Piers are caught off guard by this dancing duo. Their reactions alone are worth the 2 minutes of your life.
