Music Monday: Spring Jazz

Happy Music Monday! Today Scott's making a playlist to help you through a wonderful warm Spring day. Open a window, turn up the speakers, and enjoy. He certainly will.

Nina Simone - Sinnerman

The music of the great Nina Simone speaks for itself, really. The vocals are just as passionate as the piano. It's a lovely song full of energy that's just MADE for the light. And what chases away sin better than a beam of light?

It won't get any better than that, but it'll certainly stay just as good. See you after the jump!

Miles Davis - It Could Happen To You

Music Monday: The Number 5

Happy Music Monday!

David Bowie - When I'm Five

From the point of view of a four year old boy, five is a HUGE new change. It's a pretty important number, after all. The highest you can count to on one hand!

Give us five! Otherwise the comments will be empty. And see you after the jump!

Johnny Cash - Five Feet High & Rising

Five feet isn't so tall… until it's a wave of water coming your way. Johnny Cash says it's a true story about a flood his family endured, but c'mon. C'MON. Deciding to leave when the water's at five feet? Where exactly does one GO at that point? That having been said, I'm not going to question Johnny Cash. I'll assume he just has some Atlantean blood.

Puma Men's Bioweb Elite Running Shoes

Web Design

What do you get when you cross a puma and a spider?

It's not very much of a joke. But it's very much of a shoe. A shoe with a sole inspired by nature's most ingeniously engineered combination of strength and flexibility this side of Gabby Douglas: the spider's web.

We're not going to ask whether the PUMA Men's Bioweb Elite Running Shoe was created by shoe designers, or by a criminally insane rogue geneticist in a secret lab half a mile below PUMA headquarters. Some things we weren't meant to know. We're content just to enjoy the unprecedented cushioning and stability of the PUMA Bioweb Elite.

Although we have to say, ever since we started wearing them, we've had an uncontrollable urge to eat flies.

The Trivial Eye: National Park Quarters

You can't buy a National Park for any amount of money. But all you need is a quarter to own an engraving of one. For National Parks Week, we're looking at the parks that have been featured so far in the America the Beautiful Quarters Series from the U.S. Mint. How many can you name? (And how many have you visited?)

Answers are here. Please post your guesses, speculations, or arguments below! But know this: the Trivial Eye is presented for public amusement and no prizes are offered other than that familiar feeling of aggravation that so much of your mind is occupied by useless trivia.

Simmons 3" Gel Topper- Your Choice

There's no way to soften the blow.

The universe conspires to plunge you into constant discomfort. Or maybe it's something more sinister.

Oh, you think it's an accident? You think it's just happenstance that your days are packed with uncomfortable little nuisances? That the DMV did not carefully select the pinchiest of plastic chairs, or that your toilet seat just happened to shift at that single inopportune moment?

You are a gaping fool.

Big Mattress has been in the pockets of every major organization for years. They're the ones responsible for dwindling airline seats. They're the ones who make sure there's always at least one elevator in the lobby that's out of order, so you're left with no choice but to cram into the sole working elevator with the rest of humanity. They even fray your carpet so the tacks are exposed.

They developed the high heel.

Sac de Merde

That's a crap, folks

Oh, crap! Who put this here?

Some folks follow the Woot-Off for the good deals, others for the variety of products. And others, well, they break their F5 buttons in the quixotic pursuit of a bag of worthless crap. Maybe this will be the time. Maybe...
