Watch Awesome Howard Engel Special: The Writer Who Couldn’t Read Video

Posted: 27 Jun 2010 07:21 PM PDT

The Writer Who Couldn’t Read from NPR on Vimeo.

Howard Engel lost the ability to read words like you and I do because of a stroke, but that didn’t stop him from writing two books after the event…

I find this story to just be so incredibly amazing (and I imagine Lev did, too, which is why he did the video).

Talk about a dedication to the written word to strive so hard to be able to read and write.

I think the thing I love best about this whole story is the end in which Howard demonstrates that he still has a sense of humor after everything.

Watch 2010 Daytime Emmy Award Nominations with Pics Video

Posted: 27 Jun 2010 06:29 PM PDT

And here are the nominations for the 2010 Daytime Emmy Awards (with pictures, just in case you’re not so into soap operas that you can recognize them by name).

Phew. No words, no music… This needed to be a slideshow so I could flip through it just to see if there was anyone I recognized.

Yeah, I watch a soap or two. You know it happens; that’s why they run for so long.

Like many award shows over the past few years, the Daytime Emmys have been suffering from low viewership.

I wonder when they will finally get the clue that many of us would rather not be watching glitz and overindulgent, pointless glamor when we’re just scraping by.

Australians Love a “Beer Drinkin’ Woman” Video | Christa Hughes Shows Special Talents on “Spicks and Specks”

Posted: 27 Jun 2010 06:04 PM PDT

Australia’s Christa Hughes is a woman of considerable talents. She’s been a solo singer, the frontwoman of the colorfully named band Machine Gun Fellatio, and a circus ring mistress. As this performance shows, she’s also a “Beer Drinkin’ Woman.”

Christa performed the track with her father, jazz pianist Dick Hughes, on the popular musical quiz program Spicks and Specks. At first I was impressed by her voice, but it wasn’t long before I was wowed by her other talents.

I won’t spoil it for you, but needless to say, Christa has all the right skills to impress an Aussie man!

Underpants World Record Video | 10-Year-Old Boy Dons 215 Pairs Of Underpants At Once

Posted: 27 Jun 2010 03:08 PM PDT

I think this has to be one of the strangest videos I’ve ever seen. There’s nothing right about it: the idea is bizarre, the age of the competitor is wrong, the praise and support lavished on him is misplaced.

This video shows 10-year-old Jack Singer breaking the world record for wearing the most pairs of underpants at one time. The most obvious question to ask is, “Why?”

You’ve got a 10-year-old boy half-naked and being urged to keep putting on more underpants. I guess it’s better than him being urged to take his underpants off, but still.

Why are his parents so proud of him? Has he discovered a cure for cancer? Has he solved some impossible mathematical equation? No. He’s merely managed to wear 215 pairs of underpants at the same time and got himself on the news.

Amazing. Give him a chocolate medal.
