Friday's Links - 02/17/2012

RIP Gary Carter


Hall of fame catcher, Gary Carter, lost his battle with brain cancer Thursday.  Tim Kurkjian reflects on "The Kid."  Here is a video worth watching of Carter's last at bat as a Major Leaguer.  Also a photo gallery of Carter through the years



Eye Candy of the Day



For todays eye candy I offer up Cobie Smulders, one of the stars of the hit show How I Met Your Mother.  On the show Cobie's character Robin Scherbatsky is a former child pop star known as Robin Sparkles.  Here are links to her classic songs Let's Go To The Mall, Sandcastles In The Sand, and The Beaver Song.   


Music Video of the Day



Last night I went to see Less Than Jake at the Brooklyn Bowl.  Here's a video for their song "The Science Of Selling Yourself Short" from their album Anthem.  Back in 2005, this video actually premiered during an episode of the O.C.  As an added bonus, here is Less Than Jake's video for the song "The Rest Of My Life" from their album In With The Out Crowd.  Look out for author and t.v. show host Chelsea Handler in this one.

9.  The "Tauntaun" rear naked mount
8.  "Amanda "The Death Squad Commander" Lucas
6.  Amanda "Darth Maul" Lucas
5.  "Wookie" throat crush
4.  The "carbonite" freeze
3.  The "Admiral Ackbar" Arm bar
2.  Amanda "The Emperor" Lucas
1.  Master of the "Force Choke" Amanda Lucas
