Does your dog ever do this? Sometimes Sam will flop onto his back and twist around snorting. He seems to do it when he wants attention. It’s hilarious.

Creative proposals are great, and public proposals are sweet if marriage had been discussed previously, but “OMG LET’S GET YOUTUBE FAMOUS” proposals like this now-viral lip dub are annoying as heck. Plus, I wonder if this woman is a little irritated that her Zooey-Deschanel-wannabe friend did more of the proposing than her fiancé did.

EDIT: The parents are adorable, though.

Every time I challenge the Pokemon League in BW I’m able to beat them without any losses, resets, or Revives. :P I hope BW2 is a little more challenging. Or maybe after 12 years of playing Pokemon it’s time to call it quits? Or maybe just stick to occasional battles against friends in lieu of time-consuming play-throughs?

My team was Philomena/Mienshao, Framboise/Scolipede, Fonzie/Simisage, Flapjack/Stunfisk, Antoinette/Jellicent, and Ammolite/Archeops. Team members who didn’t make the cut were Jasper/Zebstrika, Ron/Stoutland, and Andre/Emboar.

Gen V starters suck… this was the first time that I boxed my starter before reaching the Elite Four. The pseudo-starter monkeys are awesome, though, and I love Simisage’s design. Archeops is crap in competitive battles but great for OHKO’s in the game. The reverse is true with Jellicent, but I love the Cursed Body ability and it was my only Pokemon with an ice move. Scolipede isn’t hugely useful without Earthquake and its secondary poison typing is unfortunate, but Megahorn is one of my favorite moves. Mienshao slaughters everything with Jump Kick. Stunfisk… well, he just cracks me up.

This Is All Kinds of Wrong of the Day: Banksy’s famous Parachuting Rat, located on a wall in the Melbourne, Australia suburb of Prahran, has been destroyed by builders doing drilling work for a café.

Local business owners were upset by the needless demolition of the piece by workers who apparently didn’t realize what they were destroying. The wall did contain other graffiti, but area taggers had avoided painting over the Banksy.

“Had it been 20cm higher or 20cm to the side this would never have happened,” neighboring business owner Jacqui Vidal told the Stonnington Leader, “This should have been avoided. It’s not a big piece, but it is one of the few remaining Banksys in Melbourne.”

The Rat was destroyed once before by cleaners who painted over it during a 2010 anti-graffiti campaign, but was later restored.

There is some good news, though: a possible new Banksy piece — showing an Asian boy hunched over a sewing machine and a Union flag — has appeared on the wall of a Poundland shop in London. It has yet to be confirmed as authentic on the artist’s website.

This is not “all kinds of wrong.” Graffiti artists choose to interact with ever-changing environments and tend to revel in the non-permanence of their chosen canvases. If Bansky and other street artists wanted their work to last forever they’d choose a different medium. And Banksy’s probably laughing at the business owners who seem to think that they owned his art.

Hate all you want, but I love Stunfisk. He’ll mess you up and snicker at your agony!

A French term that is translated literally as “the call of the void.” Such a cool, creepy phrase.
