ER Guest Stars Of The Day
The long-running TV series "ER" will go bye-bye at the end of this, its 15th season. Here's a list of some of the series' most notable guest stars over the last 15 years. I'd forgotten how many great actors did guest bits on ER -- probably because I stopped watching the show several years ago. For many years, though, I thought it was the best drama on TV.

Crazy Mean Baby Of The Day
"Crazy Mean Baby" was an internet phenomenon a couple of years ago. Much like the Tourist Of Death, one funny photo launched an online frenzy of even funnier variations like the ones that follow. See the vid at the end of the post for even more.
