Joey Chestnut is now well on his way to a Kobayashi-like dynasty after winning his third consecutive Nathan’s Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest. Chestnut jumped out to an early lead on his archrival Takeru Kobayashi and never looked back on his way to a new record of 68 hot dogs in 10 minutes. Kobayashi did everything he could to hold pace with Joey Jaws, setting his own personal record with 64 1/2…

See Bill Hader’s Failed Science Projects Before He Made It Rain Meatballs [Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs] [io9]
More Mr. T and bungled science work fill the new Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs trailer, based on the children’s book by Judi Barrett.

Maclaren Grand Tour LX [ohdeeoh]
In our neighborhood at least, there are Maclaren moms and then there are the rest of us. Maclarens signify that you put function above fashion. That you’re not falling prey to (possibly) over-inflated prices for trendy strollers from (Continental) Europe. In other words, you’re not worried about keeping up with the Bugaboos.
