VIDEO COMPILATION OF SOLDIERS RETURNING HOME AND SURPRISING THEIR FAMILIES

Here's a compilation of soldiers returning home and surprising their families. See if you can make it through without crying.

CHECK OUT THIS DRUMMER!

There's a cover band in West Virginia called Rick K. & The Allnighters, and their drummer likes to go OFF. Although, for as much flailing and stick-twirling as he does, his drumming doesn't actually SOUND all that crazy.

ANOTHER JEEP OFF-ROAD TRIP...THIS TIME TO DISNEY

Not the Disney with the mouse, but the Disney with all the rednecks in Oklahoma! It was a great Memorial Day weekend trip with my Just Jeeps of Omaha group. Check out a few pictures from the trip.

King James Song

Clevelanders are so worried that their beloved LeBron James is going to sign with another team that they've gathered up a bunch of local celebrities for a musical tribute a la "We Are the World." Unfortunately, this ridiculous video and song will probably do more to drive King James away.

HUGE "LOST" AUCTION THIS SUMMER!

Attention "Lost" fans: A massive auction will go down this summer . . . in which hundreds of props, costumes and set pieces from "Lost" will be sold to the highest bidder.


It'll happen in Los Angeles sometime this summer, but a specific date and venue haven't been announced yet. (--If you want to receive updates on the auction, go to ProfilesInHistory.com, and sign up for their email list.)


A "preview" of the items that will be up for bids has been posted online.


Some of the stuff includes: Locke's wheelchair, Kate's little toy airplane, Faraday's journal, Sawyer's reading glasses, Sun's pearl necklace, and a crate of around two dozen crystallized dynamite sticks from the Black Rock. (???)


There's also an "Apollo" candy bar . . . from an episode in the second season . . . Charlie's acoustic guitar, Hurley's winning lottery ticket, and a "set of approximately 30 DHARMA fish biscuits."

SUPER 8 TRAILER

The trailer for J.J. ABRAMS' new movie, "Super 8", has hit the World Wide Web of Time-Wasting. (--It's the trailer that's running before "Iron Man 2".)

It's just a "teaser", so not much is revealed. But it's pretty obvious this movie involves ALIENS.

"Super 8" . . . which is being produced by STEVEN SPIELBERG . . . is due out next summer.

VOLVO FAIL

Volvo invited reporters to a demo of their new collision warning system. It's supposed to detect something in front of the car and stop it even if you don't hit the brakes. But the demonstration failed, and the Volvo smashed into the back of a truck.

UNAIRED SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE SKITS

NBC released three skits that didn't air during BETTY WHITE'S episode of "Saturday Night Live" this weekend. The skits were recorded during rehearsal, but they didn't make the live show.

Betty played DEBBIE DOWNER'S grandmother, AMY POEHLER'S sexually active mother on "Bronx Beat", and a free-spirited woman in a "Joyologist" skit with MOLLY SHANNON.

DARTH VADER ON YOUR TOM TOM?!?

WHAT A BUZZKILL!

A kid went wakeboarding in the floodwaters in Franklin, Tennessee, about 15 miles south of Nashville. But the cops showed up pretty quickly and arrested him, and the kid driving the SUV that was pulling him.

Come on leave them alone...let 'em blow off a little steam!

DON'T TAZE ME BRO!

A Phillies fan who rushed the field at Monday night's game became the first person police used a Taser gun on in the team's history.

THE MARRIAGE SAVING BLANKET

Is flatulence ruining your love life? My friends, look no further than the Better Marriage Blanket, a fart-absorbing wünderspread that means you'll never again have to blame it on the dog. This is a real thing!
Remember, it's got activated carbon fabric: "the same type of fabric used by the military to protect against chemical weapons." You know, in case you're tooting mustard gas.

As Seen on TV - A tribute to doing it wrong

The objective of all infomercials is to show you, the viewer, that you need this ridiculous product because you've been "doing it all wrong." The best part of these infomercials is when they show people "doing it wrong," like the guy who uses a blanket instead of a Snuggie or the woman spending too much time to get "that salon look" instead of using a Bump-it. Someone compiled all of these "doing it wrong" segments and created a nice tribute.

BEST RAIN DELAY!

Two Baseball Teams Did Competing Skits During A Rain Delay

During a rain delay, two college baseball teams competed by acting out skits, like pretending to be on a roller coaster, moshing at a rock show, making fun of the "Shake Weight" commercial, and having a dance-off.
