Dad embarrasses teenage son every day for a year ... and is proud!

Some dads go to great lengths to give their kids priceless memories. Or traumatic ones.

My dad passed away several years ago so he can't pull off any stunts like these for his grandkids.  He would have loved to do it, I think.

Let's just hope my mom doesn't see this and gets inspired to do something like it when my nephew who lives with her goes off to school.

Awesome(-est). Wedding. Proposal. Ever.

Could she actually have said "no" after all that?

The coolest car in the world

When I was a kid, I thought that the Batmobile was the coolest car the world had ever seen. Or that I had ever seen. I was three or four years old at the time. Anyway, many moons later, I still feel the same way.

So imagine my delight when I saw this:



Wheeee!

Coolness, Adam West-style, will set you back a cool USD 150,000. (according to Trendhunter).

I don't have that kind of money, so I can only watch and drool.

In case YOU do, I implore you to dress appropriately when you take this out for a spin. The Batmobile requires respect.

The little monsters really get Lady Gaga, don't they?

Kids react to Lady Gaga's appearance on David Letterman's show. It kills me that the kids totally get Lady Gaga and respond so well to her -- thank goodness Lady Gaga is all for this as well (as evidenced by her Maria Aragon duet a while back).

Anyway, here's hoping that Lady Gaga uses her iconic status for the good. It would be such a waste to lose the faith of the little monsters.
