I think my favorite thing about doing this links gig is finding out other people share my sense of humor. One of those people is Señor Gallagher. He passes along this video that made me laugh way too hard. Lightning bolt!

It's Donut King's birthday so I'll share a video he sent me with one of his favorite songs. As someone who took seven years of Spanish, I can tell you this song is awesome. Dude sounds like the Swedish Chef.
