This Week in Awesome (11/7/09)

Sorry for the delay in posting this, but we had some unanticipted drama today: the Mrs. took the dog to a greyhound open house for some dog socializing, but one of the other dogs up for adoption bit our dog, and our regular vet was closed, so we had to take the dog to Angell Memorial for treatment. She's still a little groggy and refused food (!), but she should be fine in a few days.

Now, let's look at some stuff on the internet... Unlike last week's ill-chosen parking lot clip, it's okay to go ahead and chuckle at this forklift driver's misfortune. Mmm, schadenfreude. (Gizmodo)

Ford has a solution for people who need a car but can't afford one. (Onion News Network via Jalopnik)

There are a couple of movie mashup clips making the rounds. This first one takes a rather literal approach to some famous lines from the movies (you'll see what I mean)... (VideoGum via The Awl)

...while the second blends in bits from TV shows, and gets an assist from Auto-Tune. (YouTube via Waxy.org via Unlikely Words)

And I leave you with a mashup of a different sort: Kristen Wiig reads the poetry of a famous person. (Best Week Ever via TV Squad)
