Okay. The "best thing" might be an exaggeration.
And "all damn week" incorrectly implies the very latest things.
So: Here's some neat stuff I stumbled across at some point.
Dogs rule
/Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule.
Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule. Dogs rule.
Are you the favorite person of anybody?
/For reasons I can't quite explain, I haven't been able to shake this simple little film. I love it when that happens.
Don't worry be happy
/I just randomly found this video. All I know about it is that it was shot by Florin-Ciprian Andrecut, a radiology and nuclear medical imaging technician from Romania.
If I ever get around to making Bring Limes t-shirts, I'm sending the first batch to these guys.
Freight Train by Elizabeth Cotten
/This very well could be the best thing all damn year.
It's Elizabeth Cotten performing her song Freight Train. She passed away in 1987 at the age of 94. I'm guessing this was recorded around 1984 or so. Here is another version that she recorded in the mid 60s or thereabouts.
Her entire story is fascinating and well worth checking out.
Help!

Sometimes life is awesome.
Want a nickname like "The King?" Do this.
/I never quite "got" Elvis until I saw his 1968 comeback special. I was in college at the time (I wasn't in college in 1968, I was in college when I saw a rerun of the special on TV).
Just like that, I understood what all the fuss was about.
I stumbled across this clip a few days ago. "That's Alright Mama" was the first song he ever recorded. He kills it.
Making a monster
/Last week I posted Brandon Semenuk's single-shot unReal segment. If you haven't seen it, scroll down or hit this link. Then take a look at the Making Of video below. Obviously his ride is incredible. But the shot itself is the real stunner here. I sometimes prefer not knowing how things were done. But in this case, holy moly.
Flow is good
/This is what happens when you let things flow. And when you're also like the best in the world at what you do. Chances are you're not the best in the world at anything that you do. (Sorry, that's just math. I'm crappy too! At most things!) But no matter what, flow is good. That's my point. Flow is good.
For a look at how this video was done, check this right here.
This just makes me happy
/Sometimes that's enough.
Skating In Cuba
/"In this city, it's not easy to have a purpose. But neither is it difficult to find one."
Tis The Season. For whisky.
/Best thing all damn week? Nick Offerman is the best thing all damn year.
Here he is enjoying some fine whisky. For 45 minutes.
I gotta book myself for one of these shoots.
Under Pressure A Cappella
/This has been around for a while. Still. Wow. Freddie was a force of nature. But David completely crushes it too.
"Why can't we give love one more chance?
'Cause love's such an old-fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves"
On my best days...
/...my very best days, it feels like there's a magical pixie dancing on my shoulder. She makes me feel naked and joyful and alive. Back in 1993, she got a gig on Conan. She killed it.
Hands Free
/Cool. Like really cool.
This fucking guy! This guy is... holy shit bro!
/The guy narrating/yelling this video is a shining example of... I don't know what. Something awesome.
I was going to pull a few quotes, but every line he shrieks is quote worthy.
Also headphone worthy if you're at work because the pitch of his f-bombs will pierce walls.
For the record, what they have here is an ocean sunfish. Coincidentally, I did a Bring Limes facebook post about ocean sunfish just a week or two ago. They're big sons of guns:
