I have lots of unread e-mails in my work inbox. Some of the e-mails are from PR companies claiming to have the next up and coming band that everyone needs to know about, some e-mails are from listeners of either tbtl or the mixtape or even The Ron and Don Show that I just haven’t gotten around to opening (but plan to) and a few of them are from co-workers who felt inclined to send me ( i can only assume, as I haven’t opened the e-mails) cool and fun things to look at and/or listen to. Today, while running the audio board for The Ron and Don Show, I was skimming through some of these unopened e-mails and stumbled upon one from my co-worker, Ron. It was having to do with the Trinity College Orchestra playing Daft Punk (and as everyone knows, i love the crap outta daft punk. so i guess it’s kind of odd i never opened the e-mail) and since the electronic message was, ya know, about one year old, I figured that it was about time to open it up and check it out. I did and it was awesome. This post, however, is not about Daft Punk but about what I found after opening the Daft Punk e-mail. On the sidebar of the Buzzfeed website I noticed a post entitled ’81 Music Puns’ and couldn’t resist having a click. Love. it.

Orphaned kittens meet sharks and stingrays on an aquarium field trip at the Mall of America

One kitten stared transfixed through the glass while the other, unfazed, was more interested in darting around playfully. Inside a clear dome, a kitten named Turkey Leg stood up on its back legs as brightly colored […]
