It's Friday the 13th! If you're in Nashville, go see

Captain Picard's "Let It Snow" - these kind of funny edit videos are always entertaining but this one manages to squeeze in the perfect extra joke to make it worth your time.

Francis and the Lights - Like a Dream - I've always been vaguely on the fence about the sounds of this band but always fully supportive of the man's dance moves. Check that fancy footwork!

Corgi on a Carousel - 1) this dog's name is Meatball. 2) This guy knows how to party on a carousel! Please let this start a trend.

Are Emoticons the Future of Language? - not exactly a quirky / funny video but just about everyone thinks that Emoticons and Internet shorthand are killing language - this video takes the complete opposite approach. It's augmenting it in a positive way. Pretty fascinating.

Warner Bros Switched On. Beep Beep. Bloop Beep. - I realize the soundwork on this isn't for everyone but I love the youtube writeup:

Consider the recursion of Coyote, who never eats, but only considers eating, ad infinitum. This barren, craggy, dry universe is more like a Mandlebrot purgatory with an endless supply of Acme weapon products which can't function predictably, or whose proper function can't be apprehended by Coyote.

Need more? Watch this great Conan clip or this great Ms. 45 trailer or this rather intense movie trailer mashup. That should tide you over.

Have a great weekend!
