It's Chris Farley Day

Stupid me; I wrote the tag "Todd has another heart attack" for About Last Night without even realizing that today marks the 10th anniversary of the death of Chris Farley. Fortunately, 100 Percent Injury Rate was all over it, putting together a nice tribute post and a bunch of classic Farley clips. The one above includes the great ice skating sketch from SNL, which commences at about the 1:35 mark.

But for my money, you really can't beat commentaries by Bennett Brower.

By the way, this month also marks the 10th anniversary of Latrell Sprewell choking P.J. Carlesimo.

(Ed. Note: Our favorite Chris Farley character, without question, is "The Chris Farley Show." We channel "The Chris Farley Show" every time we interview someone we legitimately admire.)

Hey Kids, It's The Giant Colon!

Seriously, the kids could spend all day playing in the giant colon. And they would, if the state capitol building didn't close at 4. Actually, the display is called "Super Colon and Friends," and is on display in Carson City, Nev., to raise colon cancer awareness. But I just call it fun! (Yes, I have actually been in there).

Off topic, you say? Not if you're Joey Chestnut, or a sumo wrestler. Or, say, these guys. And with Free Taco Day coming up, Super Colon will be more relevant than ever.
