Isn’t it funny how we get nostalgic about old Saturday Night Live casts even though we thought they were terrible at the time? Maybe they have been getting progressively worse?

Big fan of these books. The first official trailer of The Hunger Games looks great. Do you think they did a good job on the cast?

I never realized that Chris looked like a starting left tackle for my high school football team. Do you think God has this song on his iPod?

1. Want to see pictures of North Korea’s rusting, dilapidated amusement park. Apparently the government has to bus in a few loads of forced patrons just to keep the park from being absolutely empty. Full story here.
2. Barry Deley, a British-Columbian sports anchor, wins a house worth $2.5 million live on the air. When the winning name is drawn, it quickly dawns on the news team that it’s their own sportscaster. Watch video.
3. This is worth another mention. Check out this funny collection of dating videos from the 80s.
4. Options for Bunker Living. I’ve always wondered where they park their car? Story here.

4. I love this story about a guy named Taylor Baldry who thinks we have forgotton how satisfying it is to have fce-to-face conversations with people. He recently set up a table and chairs at Lake Calhoun with a sign that read “Free Conversations.” He has a menu board of topics he’ll discuss with you. For more than 2 1/2 hours, the folding chairs were never empty. (full story)
5. I love tree houses! I have never had one, but I think I want to build one someday. Maybe I’ll hire German treehouse design firm Baumraum to build it. Then I could have something like this!

An stand up comedy routine by Zach Galifianakis at Luna Park in West Hollywood from January 1999. I love to see comedians before they were famous.
