Every time I see Mark Messier on television, aged 65, I swear he could strap on the skates and still play competitively in the NHL.

Just watched a bit of the Tony awards and they did "The Time Warp" from Rocky Horror. Oh how I loved going to that movie in my late teens and early 20s. And bless me, 45 years on, the 'muscle memory' from seeing it so often was still there, because I -- like everyone else in the audience (albeit I was in front of my television at home) -- yelled out "SAY IT!" when Frank N. Furter paused between "Antici".....and......"pation". And sang every word of the song. Glorious. #RockyHorror #Tonys

Paul McCartney has just scored another No. 1 in the UK with his new album, “The Boys of Dungeon Lane.”
At almost 84 years old, he just keeps going. A true legend!!

Very sorry to hear of the passing of Dennis Hull. A great raconteur, funny as hell, a fine NHLer, and a member of 1972s legendary Team Canada. Wrote an autobiography called "The Third-Best Hull" #RIP #DennisHull

Men will watch this video of German riot police stuck in the mud at a coal mine protest and suddenly get the battle of Agincourt.

The Onion has just reached a deal to acquire Infowars, taking it from Alex Jones after he lost it in proceedings following the Sandy Hook lawsuit loss.
The new show/site will parody people like Jones, but also sell merchandise of which Sandy Hook families will get a share of the proceeds.
The New Infowars logo is colored like a rainbow:
