Don’t you DARE call it “ping pong”

This video is a collection of ten of the best table tennis shots from 2012. I personally think these guys are superhuman or something. It’s incredible.

Happy Halloween!

This was VERY popular the last couple of years so I’m reposting for your Halloween viewing pleasure.

Enjoy.

The girl, missing for a week, had been taken by seven men who wanted to force her to marry one of […]

Now this is a fine-looking First Family: The photo was taken by White House super-photographer Pete Souza. The last one was taken by photographer Annie Leibovitz two years ago. My, my, those two kids are growing like weeds. They’re going to be a couple of very beautiful women, just like their mom. So proud. [From the White House blog]

I’m in Ithaca, New York this weekend and tired from a 9-hour drive so instead of my usual Eclectablather, I offer you this amazing video. She’s really, really good at Sun Salutations. So’s the lady.

Or maybe “insanity” break ’cause this is insane!

Back in October, I wrote about Brianna Amat from Pinckney, Michigan. In the span of about 30 minutes, Brianna kicked the game-winning field goal at her school’s homecoming game and then was chosen as the Homecoming Queen.
