Someone, somewhere has a fetish for this.

I missed this the other day: Bats in San Antonio's belfry? on Halloween? Manu Ginobli knocks a pesky bat right out of the air!

I wish this were a performance clip, but beggars can't be choosers. Heard this on KPOO sat nite, JJ's played it before and I just love it -- from 1972, a very early-MJ-ish cover of "How can You Mend a Broken Heart" by a pair of kids called Spoonbread (a Sylvia "Pillow Talk" Robinson discovery, apparently). The spoken-word sections are priceless.

Dead on about the spoken passages. Reminds me a little of Love Jones.  The kid singing lead seems to be having trouble hitting and holding his notes though.

I heard that the security guard he handed the bat to took it outside and just let it go. Which means that Ginobili is having to get a series of rabies vaccinations 'cause they couldn't find the bat to test it. (Standard procedure with bats, I guess.)

not exactly my kind of music, but certainly intrigued by the apparent backwards video synced to forwards singing/playing.

Mike posted a 5 Stairsteps YouTube clip on Facebook.  Which got me reading about them.  Which got me seeking out other of their clips on YouTube.  Which led me to this one:

"Stay Close to Me" is delightful, and I can't fathom (a) how it made only #91 in 1968 or (b) how I'd never heard it til now.  Maybe Freda Payne shoulda taken a crack at it.

Video: BART cop arresting drunk
« Reply #444 on: November 22, 2009, 04:58:36 PM »
Don't know if this is the best thread for this 'breaking news' but the officer was doing his job, removing the obnoxious drunk from the train.  He then went to put the guy against wall and the glass accidentally broke. The passenger near end of video could have just used call-button in train to have train operator summon help.
BART cop pushes man into window
Video shows glass shattering and injuring officer during an arrest at the West Oakland station.
(11-22) 15:22 PST OAKLAND -- A video posted online shows a BART police officer pushing a young man into a glass window during an arrest at the West Oakland station, causing the glass to shatter and the officer to suffer a serious cut on his head. Watch the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtKNoLFHomQ
The video was posted late Saturday under the title "BART cop breaks window w/drunk guy's face." This afternoon, BART officials were planning a press conference to discuss the incident, which they said happened Saturday.  Neither the officer nor the man who was arrested have been identified.
BART's police force has been under intense scrutiny since an officer shot an unarmed passenger to death on New Year's Day at the Fruitvale Station. The officer, Johannes Mehserle, who later resigned, is charged with murder.

wow, hard to believe that glass broke so easily.  That seems in itself a safety hazard if those panels are so easily broken.

An instant favorite - and at least 5 of my friends have posted it to their Facebook pages today.  :)

"nothing reallly matters... but MOI!"

apparently it went viral yesterday. I found it on SFist, which oddly is a site I rarely look at, but happened to click on yesterday.
