<p>It&#8217;s never the wrong time to highlight a &#8220;Mystery Science Theater 3000&#8243; clip. This one&#8217;s from the &#8220;Santa Claus Conquers the Martians&#8221; episode, and it&#8217;s begging to be made into a Sandusky tribute video.  </p>
<p><strong>The Five Most Awesome Games On a Graphing Calculator</strong> — God, if <em>Pokémon Stadium</em> had been on my graphing calculator in middle school, I would have failed the sh*t out of math class. Y&#8217;know, instead of failing with 64, which I did. (<a href="http://gammasquad.uproxx.com/2011/12/the-five-most-awesome-games-on-a-graphing-calculator#page/1">Gamma Squad</a>)</p>
<p><strong>Do The <em>Source Magazine</em>’s 5 Mics Still Matter?</strong> — I still don&#8217;t think Dr. Dre&#8217;s <em>2001</em> deserved its Five Mic critical reevaluation (it was originally given 4.5). <em>Only Built 4 Cuban Linx&#8230;,</em> though, well, that should gotten a perfect score the first time &#8217;round. (<a href="http://smokingsection.uproxx.com/TSS/2011/12/do-the-sources-5-mics-still-matter">Smoking Section</a>)</p>

<p><strong>Guns, Horses, &#038; Insecurities: Reporting From the Set of <em>True Grit XXX</em></strong> — &#8220;From the buttons to the pubic hair, I’m assured that everything is as if we were really boning in the late-1800′s.&#8221; (<a href="http://filmdrunk.uproxx.com/2011/12/guns-horses-insecurities-reporting-from-the-set-of-true-grit-xxx">Film Drunk</a>)</p>
<p><strong>Adele’s Official Tour Rider Is Full of Smokey, Boozy, Chocolatey Win</strong> — I want to be famous, so I can have a tour rider. I would request only the finest foods and drinks, like a Twix bar minus the chocolate exterior and diet ginger ale, which is surprisingly difficult to find. (<a href="http://www.uproxx.com/music/2011/12/adeles-official-tour-rider-is-full-of-smokey-boozy-chocolatey-win/">Uproxx</a>)</p>
<p><strong>MTV Used FatBooth On The Victoria’s Secret Angels</strong> — <em>Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon</em> would have been much more interesting if it had pitted Megatron vs. Fat Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. (<a href="http://www.uproxx.com/technology/2011/12/mtv-used-fatbooth-on-the-victorias-secret-angels/#page/1">Uproxx</a>)</p>
<p><strong>The Shaun White Sex Scandal You’ve Been Waiting For</strong> — The &#8220;Flying Tomato&#8221; is probably the name of a sex move already, so this just fills in the blank. And something else, too. (<a href="http://withleather.uproxx.com/2011/12/the-shaun-white-sex-scandal-youve-been-waiting-for">With Leather</a>)</p>
<p><strong>Ranking Television&#8217;s 10 Best Boobs</strong> — But not the kind of boobs you&#8217;re thinking of. Unless they are, in which case, you&#8217;re welcome? I guess. (<a href="http://www.pajiba.com/seriously_random_lists/ranking-televisions-10-best-boobs.php">Pajiba</a>)</p>
<p><strong>Classic Album Covers Come to Life With Google Streetview</strong> — A few years ago, I went to the street where the <em>Freewheelin&#8217; Bob Dylan</em> cover was shot and tried to figure out exactly where he stood in the road. I regret nothing. (<a href="http://thefw.com/classic-album-covers-come-to-life-with-google-streetview/">The FW</a>)</p>

<p>I don&#8217;t know who made this, and I don&#8217;t know why it exists, but the Internet is richer for the video below: it&#8217;s a faithful adaptation of Michael Jackson&#8217;s &#8220;Thriller&#8221; &#8212; except the dancing zombies are Autobots (with Hot Rod standing in for MJ). This is the geekiest thing I&#8217;m going to love all day. Please, stop reading these words and watch it now:</p>
<p><span id="more-25814"></span><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="600" height="368" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-T4uQ-CYgiA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>What&#8217;s particularly impressive is not just that the animators got all the moves down &#8212; they also matched every cut and camera angle of the original video. Watch the <a href="http://www.youtubedoubler.com/?video1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D-T4uQ-CYgiA&amp;start1=83&amp;video2=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DsOnqjkJTMaA&amp;start2=511&amp;authorName=Over+30" target="_blank">dance breakdowns side-by-side</a> and tell me that your day isn&#8217;t better for it. (Note: it helps to mute one of the videos.)</p>
<p>The only possible downside to this? Somewhere, Michael Bay is rubbing his chin and saying, &#8220;Dancing Transformers, eh? Hmmmmm&#8230;&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://warmingglow.uproxx.com/?attachment_id=3848"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3848" title="ecstasy" src="http://cdn.wg.uproxx.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/ecstasy.jpg" alt="ecstasy" width="678" height="437" /></a></p>
<p>A Vancouver woman was arrested at the U.S.-Canadian border when she tried to smuggle two 30-pound bags of ecstasy into the United States.  The pills were all in the shape of either Homer Simpson&#8217;s head or the Decepticons&#8217; logo.</p>
<blockquote><p>Krysta Edwards&#8217; vehicle was searched at the Pacific Highway border crossing on June 26, where authorities say they seized 107,734 tablets of ecstasy.</p>
<p>The pills, which were in the shape of popular cartoon characters from Transformers and The Simpsons, weighed approximately 60 pounds, and were found in a hidden compartment in the cargo area. [<a href="http://www.ctvbc.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20090701/bc_ecstasy_border_090701/20090701/" target="_blank">CTV BC</a>]</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://warmingglow.uproxx.com/?attachment_id=3849"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-3849" title="ecstasy2" src="http://cdn.wg.uproxx.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/ecstasy2-150x150.jpg" alt="ecstasy2" width="150" height="150" /></a>You know what Transformers drugs mean?  It means this conversation happened:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Michael Bay</strong>: I want you to go to Canada and pick up something that will BLOW UP MY MIND.<br />
<strong>Assistant</strong>: Uh, you mean <em>blow </em>your mind?<br />
<strong>Michael Bay</strong>: No, I mean EXPLODE my mind!<br />
<strong>Assistant</strong>: You mean <em>expand </em>your mind?<br />
<strong>Michael Bay</strong>: Goddammit!  Get me some more drugs shaped like Transformers!   I&#8217;m out of Optimus Primo weed!   <em>**makes exploding sound**</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Whoa, did I just make a Michael Bay joke instead of a Simpsons reference?  Better rectify that: &#8220;Fame was like a drug, but what was even more like a drug were the drugs.&#8221;</p>
