Such is life

Happy Fri,

Sometimes things go the way they go, whether or not you want them to. For instance, this hapless QVC host as he tries to hawk a telly while Charlie Brooker's "TBCiA" (the video that this is in response to, which itself is humorous) repeatedly pops up on the screen.

"30"
Check out this epic battle as a small band of hornets takes on a sh**swarm of bees. Sort of like the insect version of the movie "300", but more of an ass-whooping believe it or not. Nature is proved cruel once again. And once again, nice guys finish last.

Shake a Tail Feather
And finally, you've got to admire this parrot's gung-ho appreciation for classic R&B. You've got to imagine he's done this act a thousand times by now.
