Fred's Slacks is a winner!

I'm sorry to do this to you yet again, but I just can't pass this clip up. What you are about to see is one of the most underrated SNL clips of all time, and also easily one of my top five favorites. I'm showing it to you because it's been so long since I've seen it, and also because I've been trying to find it for years now but have failed everytime until I thought of looking for it on youtube. The sketch is pretty much perfect until Garth Brooks sings at the very end, but lucky for us, Will Ferrell (from the era where I wasn't yet sick of him) more than makes up for it with his classic performance. Enjoy, and please forgive me once again.

My great-great grandfather was Irish too

Last Saturday my friend (and trusted FART member) Mike brought a news story to my attention that I somehow missed when it happened a month and a half ago. Since I'm normally late on just about everything in my life, I think it makes the most sense for me to present the same story to you right now. It is very possible that you have already seen this, and have known about for so long that it's as old to you as Lazy Sunday was to me after two weeks. Well, if I'm not here to enlighten, then I'm here to annoy, so if you've seen it before then please feel free to go do something important like stalking your favorite celebrity. OMGz - Susie Essman was where?!?!?!?!?

The clip you are about to see explains itself so I won't go on much further except to say that to my knowledge that this is 100% real, and that Mobile, Alabama is in no way pulling off the greatest news story hoax of all time on its local NBC affiliate. See for yourselves:

BY THE WAY: I really just posted this so I can hold you over until I actually write a post of significance (meaning it won't be a short link or youtube post, and nothing more) sometime before the week ends. I still have a few in me as it turns out.
