From Digg, we get this video of a guy trying out a variety of different celebrity voices in what he might call a perfect song.
You be the judge:
Matt of All Trades blog, like the title suggests, is by a Vermont author and offers offbeat musings on pop culture, media, journalism, humor, weirdness, stupid people, smart people, my life as a journalist, landscaper, photographer, married gay man, dog lover and weather geek and more.

Scary Video Of Propane Explosion In Philly Food Truck
![]() |
| A still from the video of a food truck exploding in Philadelphia |
You'll see the surveillance video of the explosion below. Two of the severely injured were a mother and daughter working in the food truck.
Some cars driving by were briefly engulfed in the flames, but the people inside the vehicles thankfully only had minor injuries.
Here's the scary video:

Dying Building Was Out To Kill Somebody
![]() |
| The building seems far enough away, but the demolition sent a piece of concrete into this crowd. |
You think you're at a safe distance, but think again. This building, razed recently in the Czech Republic, tried to kill somebody watching the scene by hurling, very fast, a hunk of concrete.
Judging from the reaction you hear, the person who was hit didn't die, and probably wasn't badly hurt, which is a good thing. But still, watch this video. Scary:
The Squirrel Is Back: Are The Republicans Being Squirrelly?
Back in 2008, a guy dressed up as a squirrel dogged (ha!) the Obama presidential campaign, just sort of harassing him and his assistants from a Republican perspective.
Normal for a campaign. Both major parties bring out the gimmicks and the weirdos to call attention to their cause, and tell us why the opposition is really, really bad.
Now, (drum roll) the Republican squirrel is back! Already!
Yeah, it's a couple years before we select a new president, but Hillary Clinton is already making noises about running on the Democratic side.
Never one to waste time, the squirrel is fully recharged and fighting the good (or bad, depending on your perspective) fight against Hillary.
Here's the truly bizarre video from the Republicans re-introducing us to the Infamous Squirrel:

SCOTUSBlog Gleefully Trolls The Trolls.
An on line site that reports on the Supreme Court is getting a lot of hate today. Because people are too clueless to distinguish between the Supreme Court and SCOTUSblog, which is the news site.
A quick, and I mean very quick, glance at their profile reveals that SCOTUS blog, or @SCOTUSblog on Twitter, is a site that offers news and analysis of what the US. Supreme Court is up to.
They're the go-to place if you want to know the ins and outs of what the High Court is doing and what their rulings mean for you and me.
But I guess social media is the land in which everybody likes to yell but nobody knows who they're yelling at.
On Twitter, people have been firing away at SCOTUSblog, yelling and screaming at them for the "ruling" they issued today saying privately held businesses like Hobby Lobby can withhold insurance coverage for contraceptives, based on their religious faith.
Of course, it was the Supreme Court that made the ruling, not SCOTUSblog, and as far as I know the Supreme Court doesn't keep a blog. But if you have to yell at somebody, might as well yell at someone who just reported on the decision, but otherwise had nothing to do with it.
What's wrong with these people? Yeah, I know there are similar sounding names on social media like Twitter, or people pretend they are someone or something they are not, but really.
So, the fine reporters at SCOTUSblog, who are only trying to help us understand what the Supreme Court did, are an outfit that "sided with the crazies" and treat women like second class citizens.
I bet the people who work at SCOTUS blog wish they had the kind of power the Supreme Court does.
At least SCOTUSblog is having fun with peoples' stupidity. Responding to someone who Tweeted: "You disgust me," SCOTUSblog responded, "But you complete us."
Someone else asked SCOTUSblog: "When will you start honoring the constitution." SCOTUSblog responded. "When you start reading our description."
Touche!!
Now, social media is alive with the correctors, the media outlets and such (like me!) that are trying to give people a clue. REPEAT!, they're saying. SCOTUSblog is NOT part of the Supreme Court. wise up, doofuses!
But the yellers and trolls will have none of it.
Says one person, clueless upset that SCOTUSblog is having fun with the ignorant, and not part of the Supremes: "The passive aggressive way @SCOTUSblog is answering right now is horrible considering the position they just put women in. Not okay."
What's not okay is the people who are continuing with their willful ignorance. It's the American Way!!
On the bright side, this is surely making LOTS of people click on SCOTUSblog to see what all the fuss is about. It can't help the blog's bottom line, no?

World's Worst Parallel Parker Ever!
A woman in Portland, Oregon recently tried to parallel park. It didn't go well.
I guess some people don't have really good spatial capabilities. This woman didn't. Especially since you could have almost parked a Mac truck where she was trying to pull in.
I know, I know. The ability to parallel park is not necessarily a sign of intelligence.
But this lady sure needs a refresher course on this task. Watch and you'll see why:
