"AND NOW, REPORTING LIVE *FROM* THE SINK ITSELF..."

The concept of local "news" has always been a fuzzy one. Recently, a local Kansas City station did a report on the fact that many residents were complaining that their tap water tasted funny.

The report began at the news desk and then they actually bothered to go live to a reporter on the scene. "Scene" in this case apparently meaning "the breakroom at the TV station."

Thanks for the visual, because otherwise I would have no way of imagining what on Earth you were talking about!

Anyway, the reporter did a lead-in to a taped piece and then when it ended they cut back to her and she didn't realize it for several seconds. The look on her face was absolutely priceless. She rolled her eyes as if to say, "I have a degree in journalism and I'm doing a live report on sink problems?"

CREEPY, LOVE-DISPENSING ROBOT BALLOON "ONLY" PLAYS SONG FIFTY TIMES

Little Oliver turned 1 on Valentine's Day. His birthday involved what some might call an overly elaborate bouquet of balloons.



One of these balloons was a robotic "Love Machine" that would perform a song of the same name if you hit it in what appeared to be its crotch area. Amy observed that the balloon was only capable of playing the song 50 times. Yes, what a shame...
