Last year we got a look at a squid that looked like a cross between a Pokemon and a PacMan ghost. Now we have this adorable little bugger Is it a new Pokemon? Mr Snuffleupagus from Sesame Street?

I love this song. Always gives me goosebumps during the section where the countdown gets to 10 and under. Happened to be flipping through my MP3 player and it came up. Those 1980’s clothes, though. Sheesh. And, you know what’s amazing? In 1981 we could launch a space shuttle. Now, Los Federales can’t even get […]
