Dizzy's Ten Post Round-Up

Thursday, Thursday, Thursday! My favorite day of the week. I get to be the center of attention. I get to sing all night. I get entertained by sobriety-challenged singers. AND...I get paid for the privilege! Yes, I have a semi-charmed life.

Just to give you an idea of what I have to deal with, when I'm working, I dug up this youtube: Flaming Lips singing karaoke songs with a puppet (Note: I have heard much, much worse and that's by people who take their karaoke entirely too seriously!)

Some folks have mentioned how the Round-Up has been such a downer recently and I have to say that I agree. So, today's Round-up will have some serious newsworthy stuff, but I've thrown in some fluff that I'm sure will bring a smile to somebody's face. If not, come back tomorrow...

Onward and upward, I always say. Please suppress your emotional outbursts until you get to the end of today's Ten Post Round-Up:
