Baby, Drive That Damn Car!

 It was inevitable that someday, somewhere, Jacob Collier and Chris Thile would cross paths.

The two wildly musical animals tossed off some Beatles songs a week ago, with the looney energy of puppies playing.

Are they telepathic? Is it jazz? 

Inspired? Crazy ass fun?

Oh yeah.

My Favorite Books: Lieutenant Dangerous

  

 “War is interesting, if you can avoid getting killed, and don’t mind loud noises.”

    Pulitzer-prize-winning Jeff Danziger's take on his Viet Nam war service.

All fart Monday

 

You've got to love the London tabloids. 

 

Use this phrase three times this week.

 

Monsters Inc?

A meme circulates in the usual where-are-her-e-mails and Benghazi Forever circles. 

Which of these is not quite like the others?

But hey, just seven more sleeps til Witch Night.

 

"How did it come to this?"

_

More than eight million have watched this two-minute trailer for The Crown in the three days it's been up. 

It teases season five of the Netflix series, clips of Diana's final days, royal breakdowns and betrayals. The show returns Nov. 9.

The Queen wonders "How did it come to this?"

And Diana sighs: "I never stood a chance."

Which does King Chuck fear most? The world-wide audience for The Crown's take on his adultery? Or Prince Harry's typing?

Meanwhile the Dip and the Chip are planning royal world tours that include Canada and Australia.  Pip pip.

PERFORMANCE: Chris Thile - Too Many Notes

Does Chris Thile take his mandolin along on dinner dates?

Of course he does.

And this amazing novelty tune shows just how well it works.

Pop goes the weasel

Home Sweet Couch

Just you and your dog, together for the winter.

Check out this interesting video mix of Algonquin Park clouds and Tom Thomson paintings.  You may float away.

Adorable seniors show off pumpkin skills

 

 Two unidentified film stars demonstrate what they've learned in crafts class at the Hollywood Home for Millionaire Muscleheads.

 Good work, Arnold.

 A little more effort, Sly.

 

Superman's secret family? Mermaids?

 

With the lame reviews Dwayne Johnson's Black Adam is getting, DC's movie division is obviously running out of superhero blockbuster plots.

As a public service, may I remind them of this one? Perhaps for The Rock's sequel, which he teases may include Superman?

Remember Superman's mermaid wife and merman son on that other planet? Lois never recovered. Killed her spin-off comic too.

You're welcome.
