We're still here! Jackson 5 Cartoon, Ann Curry's acts of kindess, Friday Toys

So the apocolypse never happened. See what people have posted on twitterabout it...interesting (and kinda funny too!) http://instapocalypse.com/
NASA has warned us time and time again that the Mayan apocalypse, predicted to fall on today, 12/21/12, is not scientifically possible. Still, Twitter users everywhere are spending a disproportionate amount of time coming up with Mayan joke material. Now, there is Instapocalypse, a site that culls Instagram photos published with the #apocalypse hashtag. If a fiery asteroid does end up hurtling towards earth today – well, it was real folks! Might as well have a giggle!
So Ann Curry from NBC (who I love!), did a story about doing good in the world after the shootings that occured last week in Connecticut. In the article, she states that if you "do good, you'll feel good". This article has inspired thousands of people to do some acts of kindness. Read the story here and see what some people have done. Cool Stuff! File this in the chapter called #neededsomegoodnews!... it made me cry.
We talked about the Jackson 5 Cartoon on the show this morning. How they would always pull something out of their afros to save the day. Whether it be an anvil, waterslide, hammer, they always had it hidden in their hair. I think.
AFter show note...apparently I was wrong. This whole time I got the Jackson 5 Cartoon confused with the Harlem Globetrotters cartoon. It was one of the Globetrotters who pulled things out of his head. See this from a blog I found...
"AAnd I remember someone saying to me, "One of 'em had a fro so big he could pull ladders and elephants from it!" That would be Sweet Lou Dunbar.cla
That said, you'll see him do it in the intro to their cartoon below.
Friday toy memory: VIntage/Older Christmas/Holiday Decorations. I loved the ornaments, lights, and especially the vintage trees with the color block twirly lights. My only objection is that version of Silent Night from Stevie Nicks...can't stand it. Otherwise, I'm in love! See below! Rockin! ... around the Christmas tree. :)
This one has a train going around the base and a bunch of cool ornaments on it.
Summer movies are getting on a roll now! Two weeks ago we had Iron Man 3, last week The Great Gatsby debuted with success and now this week we have Star Trek Into Darkness! I saw it on Friday and I must say: BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR so far! The 2009 reboot...
The Summer movie season is finally here, thanks to Robert Downey Jr. and Iron Man 3! This of course, is the third Iron Man movie, but is actually just as much a sequel to last year's blockbuster: The Avengers. If any of the Avengers (Captain America,...
Okay, normally I see movies right when they come out, but I waited a little while to see Oz: The Great and Powerful. I finally saw it and I loved everything about it! Great visuals, great 3D, great story, great cast, tons of family fun and magic! I am...
Happy Birthday to Jessica Biel (31), Julie Bowen (43), Buddy Valastro (36) and Santonio Holmes (29). And if your birthday is today: Happy Birthday to you too from 97.5 WLTF!
Christian Lopez is a friend of the West Virginia Morning Show and have stopped by to chat about AI (well, as much as he's allowed to say) and he played his new original song "As Far As I May Go". Gooood stuff. Check it out.
Thanks for tuning in!
