TGIF Wild Card — 8.21.09

I'm dragging. I thought TGIF's were suppose to be easy days b/c the print column is in the rear-view mirror -- and, ahem, ALL I have to do is blog. I was as busy as can be today.

I can't decide which is funnier, the 9-month-old who got his head stuck in a rocking chair or the future organ donor who was performing stunts on the back of his motorcycle while zipping down the interstate a few minutes ago. The scanner provided a coupla good chuckles today. Now, I'm going to post the Wild Card and head for the weekend ...
