MUSINGS
I'm mixing things up a bit this week and presenting your Freaky Friday Fun video today. Don't panic, it'll be okay. There's a reason for everything. And below, well, it'll make sense come Friday. For now, enjoy this really cool mash-up trailer.

Two videos for you this week, folks. The first is that kid who got tasered when he scrambled out onto the field at Citizens Bank Park. The video is raw and not only shows the kid going down but one of the Phillies holding his glove to his mouth so nobody can see him laughing. The second video I just happened to stumble upon and thought it fit nicely with the last two posts regarding advertisements. (Ray Bradbury and Sunsweet prunes; who would have thunk it?) Have a great weekend.

Before I present to you this week's Freaky Friday Fun, just a reminder that the Hint Fiction contest closes tonight at midnight, EST. Once the clock strikes twelve, I will close the comments section, so don't be cute and try to wait until the last very moment, because, who knows, my clock might be a minute faster than yours. On Saturday I will go through the entries and pick my top ten and send those to James Frey. The winners and finalists will be contacted by e-mail and will be announced here on this site in the next week or so. Also, over the weekend I plan to go through and delete all the stories, so you are then free to do with them as you please. Now, the clip I previously saw was censored, and I think the constant beeps added something to the comical aspect of such a serious event. I could probably find a censored version, but it's late and I'm tired so I'll leave you with the uncensored, uncut, unedited rather lengthy version. I would not be surprised at all if this is ends up being SNL's opening skit tomorrow night. Have a great weekend.

Just over 80 stories have been entered into the Hint Fiction Contest so far. Keep 'em coming, people, and when submitting, remember this blog post. Not sure if I mentioned this yet or not, but "Through the Guts of a Beggar" is now listed at Goodreads, so use that knowledge however you see fit.
Finally, for your Freaky Friday Fun I present to you two videos. The first is a pretty incredible clip of a recent baseball game, and the second is thanks to Aaron Polson (and if you don't believe it's real, here's the drugstore's website). Have a great weekend.
