Twitter Account Becomes Sitcom?!
The popular (and profane) Twitter account Shit My Dad Says is now being turned into a CBS sitcom (and a book!), according to The Hollywood Reporter.
If you're not familiar with Justin Halpern's truly hilarious twitter account, you don't know what you're missing -- the 29-year-old (formerly) down-on-his-luck writer transcribes funny, crazy, weird and just plain wild stuff his 73-year-old father says and posts it onto his twitter account.
At 140 characters (or less), Halpern gives us glimpses of his cantankerous (but loving) father. His father's loving (but often biting) words to his son have proved resonant -- the account has over 700,000 followers and Halpern has a book and TV deal.
This is not unprecedented. The blog Stuff White People Like was turned into a best-selling book and its creator, Christian Lander, has appeared on TV several times.
My question for Shit My Dad Says is this -- what's the show's censor-friendly new title going to be?

Video - The Body Flex Daily Workout
Sure, fashion, music and movies from the 1980s might be in style right now. But no one wants to do those crazy '80s aerobic workouts. Especially none called "The Body Flex Daily Workout". Because while we'd love to shed pounds doing as little work as possible, I think we've learned in the last 20 or so years that sticking our tongues out is not gonna cut it as a replacement for the elliptical.

Cute Animal Alert! Snow Leopard Playing with Jack O'Lantern
The Wildlife Conservation Society has a really, really cute video up right now of a snow leopard playing with a jack-o'-lantern at the Central Park Zoo.
This video is the kind of thing best enjoyed on the Internet because while it's adorable, I really wouldn't want a snow leopard messing around with a pumpkin on my front lawn. That would be terrifying.

Movie Poster Mashups
The message board b3ta.com has a great post where they challenge their readers to create movie poster mashups. My favorites include the Yellow Submarine/Das Boot (pictured above) and this Peter Pan/Pulp Fiction mashup. Tinkerbell is a bad girl!

Russian Plane Bar
English Russia has a pretty wonderful gallery of a ridiculous "plane bar" that's been erected in Russia. I'd totally go there to grab a drink if I wasn't scared the whole thing was going to fall apart. Yikes!

Funny List: Top 10 Creepies Album Covers
Ultimate Guitar put together this pretty funny list of the Top 10 Creepiest Album Covers. My favorite choice is the cover to the Herbie Mann album Push Push:
It's midnight and you've just returned home from a long day at work. You open the door to your bedroom and all you see is this naked guy, standing there waiting for you in the dark, holding a flute.
That really IS creepy.

Funny List: The Top Ten Friendliest Ways to Kill A Man
My favorite is #7: Buy Him A Pet Tiger
At first, he'll be all like, zomg, thanks for the pet tiger, homey, you're so awesome, just what I've always I dreamed of. Then you'll be like, totally dude, my pleasure. Then the tiger will be like, fuck this shit, I'm hongray, and proceed to attack with a carnivorous rage.
