This story is probably of very little interest, but I'm linking it because I have a cat (which I named Cat Mandu) who would also be a serious contender for this record. Not only does his whole body vibrate when he goes into full purr mode, but he purrs all the time. He just might be the happiest creature on the planet.
Wow is this terrible. Someone should hire Meghan McCain for a job commensurate with her talents, which don't include speaking, writing or expressing thoughts in any way whatsoever.
Here at YeahRight, we sometimes blog about monkeys, and there's obviously no shortage of talk about facial hair. I therefore bring you this exciting discovery from the world of science.
Why am I linking this? Three reasons: I saw it at Ace of Spades, and was surprised they interrupted their normal programming of sophomoric humor spiced with occasionally brilliant political commentary to introduce this new feature. Second, my wife and I are the proud owners of a Shiba Inu, and it is a non-stop source of mystery and amusement. Three, it's just plain cool. Check it out now, the pups are nursing...
Getting hit by an SUV (twas true - no worries I am relatively fine - but that sucked)

Best Concert:
Ok, so maybe I'm pathetically busy and wouldn't go to a concert if not for Allison so is it any surprise we concur: Lykke Li at 6th and I Synagogue. LOVE that venue and Lykke Li ROCKED.
Best Movie:
Zombieland - I don't know about you, but I like me some good ole' fashion entertainment and escapism when I go to the movies. And Zombieland delivered. It was the most enjoyable movie I've seen in a while. It delivered in terms of laughs and jumps and wholehearted entertainment. Allison's review is here.
Best TV Moment:
Jim and Pam of the Office finally get married! The hilarity climaxed when the Office cast spoof my vote for best viral video of the year.
Best Celebrity Moment:
Obvi the Kenye West debacle "No disrespect Taylor but Beyonce had the best video of all time!"
Best Fashion Trend:
The return of high-waisted, feminine dresses (yay for the influence of Mad Men amongst other things)
Worst Fashion Trend:
The return of harem pants. Think M.C. Hammer. This year, the high fashionistas were all over this trend which means we will have to suffer through baggy asses on the street in 2010.
