"Gas and electric companies are urging residents to avoid the use of helium-filled metallic balloons this Valentine's Day, as they can cause power outages and injuries to those that might be within reach of power lines. Metallic balloons caused more than 300 outages in just one pocket of California, affecting electric service to nearly 165,000 homes and businesses throughout Northern and Central California last year, according to a statement released by Katie Allen, corporate representative for Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E)." - Harold

Not to mention that they don't biodegrade and can harm or kill birds and wildlife. I will never understand the fascination with mylar balloons. - Hookuh Tinypants

"Once Mel Brooks' lunatic film, many call his best, gets started, logic is lost in a blizzard of gags, jokes, quips, puns, howlers, growlers and outrageous." - Harold

"One man was caught in the act singing, dancing and shoveling. His reaction when he finally noticed was priceless." - Harold

"In at least four states that have nurtured the nation's energy boom, hundreds of complaints have been made about well-water contamination from oil or gas drilling, and pollution was confirmed in a number of them, according to a review that casts doubt on industry suggestions that such problems rarely happen." - Harold

"CHARACTER: Sterling Archer, superspy   MODEL: Jason Fitzgerald, professional photographer/former model   VOICE ACTOR: H. Jon Benjamin   Out of all of our characters, Archer looks the least like the actor voicing him. H. Jon has some funny things to say about how people tell him that the show is ruined for them once they’ve seen his face. We even did a video based around this idea for the Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival. The gist of it was that Archer is in a terrible accident and when he wakes up in a hospital bed, his roguish good looks are gone. He looks like the real-life H. Jon, and his world is irrevocably changed.   Jason Fitzgerald has gotten the most mileage out of modeling for us. His friends even use his casting on the show as a pick-up line at bars. Archer makes the best wingman, even when he’s not there. Just knowing him is a panty-dropper. Jason was even asked to audition to play Archer for a convention once because he looks so much like him" - Harold

"When country music writer Grady Smith published his 10 Best Country Albums of 2013 for Entertainment Weekly, he caught flack from commenters who claimed the list didn't include enough mainstream music. In response, Smith created a super-cut video of all the truck-riding, beer-guzzling and girl-ogling moments in this year's mainstream country music. It's a compendium of genre clichés, including its affinity for dirt roads, river banks and girls in tight jeans." - Harold

Isn't this true of every mainstream country song in past 10 to 15 years actually - the Garth Brooks effect? - Steve C, Team Marina

This by David Allan Coe - the perfect country song http://grooveshark.com/s... - WarLord
