Offbeat: We like stores that tell us exactly what they are, too

  • “I don’t need no Papa John’s, I go straight to Pizza!” This comedy rap, “Stores That Tell You Exactly What They Are,” is clever as heck, and has a killer guitar-driven beat to boot.

Offbeat: On-the-job-training: 911 dispatcher saves his own baby son

  • He was in training mode, and rocked it. Lacey, Wash. 911 dispatcher Chris Scott got a chance to practice being cool under pressure when his wife, Janna, came on the other line because his 6-month-old son, Jacob, was choking. One thing that helped was that Chris didn’t completely realize it was his wife. Even so, the Marine reservist just back from Iraq successfully guided Janna through the process. Not bad. source

Offbeat: New Yorkers once again prove that any crappy apartment will do

This Brooklyn apartment looks kinda nice until you realize it’s 178 square feet. And at $944 a month, it’s probably the best apartment you can get for the price. source

Offbeat: These guys have too many T-shirts, too much time on their hands

  • These guys have 222 T-shirts, and two days. They also have a stupidly clever idea on their hands. They probably need to get outside more often, but let’s laugh at them while they’re still inside! We won’t spoil the best parts of the video.

Offbeat: Jesus, that’s a lot of pot: Jesus photos packing a little extra

Border patrol workers found 30 pounds of pot stuffed in pictures of Our Lord. There are so many possible puns here that we don’t know which one to use. source

Offbeat: D.C. is getting more snow. God hates us. We like this video.

  • This video is like a 30-second explanation of our lives. First, when the teddy bear was a little covered, it was fun. Then the snow kept coming. Now we’re just annoyed.

Offbeat: Some guy with 600 cups builds a fort, quickly destroys it

  • He spent ten hours on this, if you can believe it. We usually avoid YouTube celebrities when posting videos because they’re usually incredibly lame (we’re looking at you, SHAYTARDS), and this guy is pretty lame, too, but anyone who spends a really long time assembling cups like this deserves love from us.

Offbeat, U.S.: Obama respects the snow that D.C.’s getting THIS TIME

  • Even a transplanted Hawaiian to Chicago has sufficient respect for a forecast of nearly two feet of snow.
  • White House press secretary Robert Gibbs • Regarding the snowpocalypse currently taking over D.C. Why does Gibbs have to say this? Simple. Obama was pissed last year, when schools would close after a light dusting. D.C. is a different beast than Chicago, sure, but the city has been known to overreact a little about snow. Obama was right to trash them a year ago, just like he’s right to stay quiet now.. In other news, the D.C. area might get thundersnow tonight. SNOWPOCALYPSE WHAT WHAT? source
