Friday Awesomeness

1) “ANIMALS ARE AWESOME TOO“.

Stick it out thru the first minute, it gets way awesome-er after that..

Wow Little Miss has a tough act to follow. How would you like to be after the skydiving chihuahua/skateboarding bulldog/ moonwalking pony?

2) It’s nothing to sneeze about.

3) 22 Strange Animals You Probably Never Knew Existed. Or, between me and Rockstar, You Discover It You Get To Name It.

Dis is a Pink Fairy Armadillo. Of course it is.

And Dis is a Dumbo Octopus. Well, d-uh.

5) And…..

Grown up Calvin and Hobbes

Hands up, who got a little misty-eyed.

The painting is part of artist and comedian Craig Mahoney’s solo show titled Portraits of Awesomeness: The Art of a Fan Boy.

6) 86th Scripps National Spelling Bee in the States won by 13 year old who spelt the word “Knaidel” correctly. I’m probably gonna be made to eat my words later (sorry) but… I uh, don’t understand this about spelling bees. Knaidel means “small mass of leavened dough.”

Me sour grapes, I didn’t know what a knaidel was. But. Why is that important information? I can understand some measure of speed rounds and a certain number of words you really need to know in order to facilitate further learning. I don’t understand why it’s important for 13 year olds to know the word knaidel. Or is that because they ran out of obscure, incredibly difficult words for 13 year olds just so they could differentiate a winner. Don’t get me wrong, Arvind Mahankali totally deserves to win since he can spell knaidel. He’d totally kick my butt at it too.

You know what knaidel is meh? Knaidel you.

7) And Little Miss ends it this afternoon, because of her awesome time with plain old pole. Shut up. Don’t say it. Not funny.

Have a good one…

ps: We have a lot going on this weekend; will update soonest…!
