1) Total Eclipse of the Heart: I have this video in my head for some reason today.

2) Joe Flaherty: Special shout to the late Joe Flaherty, our Robert Pine Genius Award winner at the Season 9 Battys. What else can I say except he made us laugh real good.
3) National Beer Day: Speaking of Mr. Pine, you know we suggest you celebrate with a Lowenbrau:

7) National No Housework Day: The boys can give Mickey the day off.
