Family Circus Just Got Jersey-fied

The funny people over at Jersey Circus have brought together two cultural icons to form one, outrageously hilarious, (hopefully) future cultural icon.

Pictures from the classic comic strip Family Circus are paired with Jersey Shore quotes to create something I could seriously read all day. This is my new favorite thing ever, and I know I say that like, five times a day, but this could definitely stick for at least 24 hours.

Those Jersey Shore quotes are funny on their own, where Family Circus is usually sweet and endearing. Both, however, always include some kind of life lesson, like go to Church on Sunday, or don’t smush with grenades when your ex-girlfriend is sleeping in the next room. Stuff you need to know.

“We strive to reconcile our guilty delight in Jersey Shore, a bastion of trash, with our eye-rolling fondness for the Family Circus,” reads Jersey Circus’ mission statement. “We do this by juxtaposing the two in a very literal sense. We think you’ll agree that something important is being done here.”

I agree. I really do.

Greatest Emmy Opening Ever

Things that I love: Jimmy Fallon, Tina Fey, Don Draper, LOST, Bruce Springsteen’s “Born to Run” and choreographed dance sequences. It’s things like this that remind me that I should really be working in television. I can’t sing, but man can I dance. And all I want to do is DANCE!

Also, Betty White really reminds me of my nana.

Little League World Series Championship: Hawaii vs. Japan

I’ve loved the LLWS since I was a little kid. I’ve been twice, and I just think it’s the coolest thing for young-in’s to get to play on such an international stage.

Coverage begins on ABC today at 3 p.m. as Hawaii takes on Japan in an epic battle not seen since Pearl Harbor. Ok, Pearl Harbor was probably worse; these are 11-year-old boys we’re talking about.

If you’ve never seen the LLWS before, and have a free afternoon, I highly recommend you watch. It’s great baseball, and for a few hours you might just feel like a little kid again. Batter up!
