In honor of the second movie from the Twilight series – New Moon – hitting the screens this week, I’ve got a little vampiric Feel Good Friday treat for you, at least if you like your vamps to be of the old-school variety.
My sincere apologies to all you fans of Twilight.
I haven’t seen New Moon and certainly don’t intend to pay good (or bad, for that matter) money to do so. Especially not after seeing Twilight. To give you an idea of my take on the series, Newscoma and I put together a review of the first flick entitled “Twilight – Best Comedy Ever.”
And while we’re on the subject, you need to see the parody Saturday Night Live did with Taylor Swift and the Franks called “Firelight” if you haven’t already. And if you have seen it, enjoy it again. Go ahead. Start the video.
That’s right Meat Cards offers your professional contact information seared by a laser into a piece of beef jerky.
Now that’s the kind of business interaction that makes an impact and can leave any potential client satisfied. OK, at least their tummy will be satisfied.

This one has something for everyone – a little Hairspray, some Shrek, Napolean Dynamite, Steve Martin and Spider Man just to name a few. And best of all, there’s MC Rob Base and DJ Easy Rock.
You’ve always heard about actors whose talent is praised by the phrase “could read the phone book” and hold an audience’s attention.
Christopher Walken pulls off the adage, but instead of using the yellow pages, he recites Lady Gaga’s pop hit “Poker Face.”
There’s been another recent rendition of the same tune. South Park’s Cartman character breaks out his best Lady Gaga in Episode 11 “Whale Whores” of Season 13.
I had to go to Jackson to cover soccer for work last night, therefore no Halloween partying for me.
During my drive, I did take pleasure in looking for spooks and haunts out scavenging for candy. I made a mental list that included, in order of appearance, an adult scarecrow riding as a passenger, a convict and a skeleton trick or treating together, an uncreepy clown, a sexy pink bunny, a fairy and a monarch butterfly riding with a ghoul who looked a lot like a zombie Uncle Fester, and a cowboy.
However, I did not spot this awesome family of Wild Things riding the subway.
I caught a piece about this band on NPR and I’m loving it.
If you too enjoy brass, then this melange of music from around the globe is for you.
Slavic Soul Party call themselves “New York’s #1 Brass Band for BalkanSoulGypsyFunk.”
Fun stuff.
For some reason, from this music I’m getting an urge to be a gypsy and hit the road to a spot where I can hear this sort of music wafting out of bars as I meander up and down the streets.
What with all the talk about little balloon boy Falcon Heene’s “flight” and the UFO shaped balloon he supposedly took a ride in, all I could think about was a Robyn Hitchcock tune – Balloon Man.
I’m not sure if it can be considered a Feel Good Friday tune. I’ll let you discern that.

Here it is lit up.
He even creates your not-so-basic creepy faces.
There are tons more cool jackolanterns of animals, historical and political figures and just the unusual weirdness in the galleries on his site.
Stumble It!
