NOW LET’S GET TO THIS WEEKEND SO WE CAN GOD DAMN WATCH BREAKING BAD ALREADY!

I don’t know why it feels stupid to say this, but this dumb website has meant a lot to me (I know the site is not going away). I have met many people that I now consider my IRL friends through Videogum and its unofficial offshoots. |

Bye Gabe. We’ll always remember you for your glowing How I Met Your Mother recaps and your poignant critique on boundaries concerning The Onion calling Quvenzhané Wallis the C word juxtaposed against the time you did this: http://static.stereogum.com/uploads/2010/09/sad_don_draper.jpg Hope you get a chance to expand on your volunteer work as a nurse in Africa, leaving the callous opulence and privilege of the western world, which often infuriated you so, behind. |

I’m pretty sure this proves that there’s only about 10 entertainers in the UK. |

I have a remarkably relevant story. One day, maybe five or six years ago*, I was out with my family when we saw Mark Wahlberg. I pointed him out and my dad asked if I wanted a picture with him. I said “sure,” and my dad straight up shouted, “HEY MIKE!” Mark Wahlberg either misheard or didn’t care, because he did take that picture with me. The end. *Time stamped because I am no longer a person who asks celebrities for photos. |

[Ed. Note: This story is the best, and, yes, remarkably relevant. A dad shouting “HEY MIKE!” at Mark Wahlberg is absolutely the image I’d like us to enter into the weekend with.]
