Sunday Silliness

From the under appreciated classic So I Married an Axe Murderer… this scene was referenced here earlier this week. Anthony LaPaglia’s losing it which makes it funnier.

Newsboys — He Reigns… great song

From the Trailer Park — Anchorman: The Legend Continues

Two different teasers…

I liked the first one… the brawl between the news teams was genius and Jack Black kicking Baxter off the Coronado Bridge made me laugh out loud. And I’ve mostly ignored Will Ferrell so he hasn’t burned any bridges with me.

Don’t Mess With Texans

The victim of an armed home invasion in Houston has turned the tables on the brazen intruders after they stuffed him into a closet that turned out to be the place where he stores his gun.
