A couple of random thoughts that have been bouncing around in my head recently

Has anybody else noticed that the early 1980s hit "Down Under" by the gone but not forgotten band Men at Work has been on the radio a ton lately? I can't go a day without hearing it. I'm thinking that by this time the Men at Work are more like Men without Work.

I think Volvo ads are about to get a lot better, now that they've hired Arnold Worldwide to do their advertising. It's a boon for Arnold, too, which lost its VW automotive contract a while back. Good for Volvo, bad for VW.

If you watch Red Sox games (and everyone can, because they're nationally televised every weekend), you may have noticed the strange growth on the face of first baseman Kevin Youkilis. I guess it's a fu manchu. Anyway, during Saturday's radio broadcast of the game, I overheard Yankees backup catcher asking Youkilis when he came to bat, "So you like having that thing on your face?"

I couldn't find a great picture, but here is one that at least has the principles of the story.

It looks like Yankees catcher Jorge Posada is using The Force to summon the ball to his bare hand. Conspiracy theory? Or more evidence that the Evil Empire has great control of the Dark Side?

Perhaps "Down Under" is in celebration of the fact that the Top Model contestants headed to Australia last week?

Despite the fact that the episode featured both a real kangaroo and Tyra dressed as a kangaroo, this is the most "Australian" picture available on the CW website. Lame.
