One of my new favorite shows this season is Modern Family on ABC. I wasn’t expecting to like the show at first, but the characters they’ve built the stories around are absolutely perfect!

Here’s a scene from this past week’s episode where one of the characters plays a clown for his nephew’s birthday party. In this scene he deals a little clown intimidation to a jerk at a gas station.

If you want to see more great scenes like that, just watch Modern Family on ABC on Wednesday nights.

A friend of mine just flashed me back over a decade ago when he mentioned this video. These guys took the "COPS" TV show them and recreated it with with STAR WARS stormtroopers.

This was one of those videos I waited for about 5 hours to download back in the mid-90’s when I first heard about it. It was hilarious then, but just shows how far along we’ve come with video on the web.

Hat tip to prebynski for sharing and reminding me

I’m not a big consumer in general, but I’m really not a consumer at all on Thanksgiving weekend. At least not in the retail aspect of things. Consuming left-over turkey and other food and watching sports on the Friday following Thanksgiving is more my full-contact sport.

You don’t have to go out and fight the crowds this Friday to take advantage of some great deals online. One of my favorite online retailers has already started their Black Friday deals now.

You can get deals from many of my favorite online merchants right now. Here’s a list of the ones I may actually be checking out between slices of pumpkin pie and handfuls of chips and broccoli cheese dip.

• Amazon.com
• Buy.com – Not listed as Black Friday deals, just “Holiday Deals”
• ThinkGeek.com – more cool stuff, even if you don’t get a “deal” on it. You probably won’t find it anywhere else. Just look for stuff on sale.
• OldNavy.com – if clothes are on your list, OldNavy and all their brands are now offering free shipping on orders over $50.

Now, I’m trying to decide if it might actually be fun to go into some stores with a few of my friends and just randomly run screaming to various locations in the store. I wonder how many people would follow us thinking we’ve found a great deal!
