I'm gonna take advantage of this space to ask for some help, guys.  Metric Jenn's dog Shoes is participating in a contest called the Fido Casting Call 2.  If you have 30 seconds, please click this link to vote for him!  For every vote clicked, the contest will donate a dollar to Dog Guides Canada, so everyone wins here!  The contest ends September 10th.

One more contest request, then it's back to the links.  Home Instead Senior Care is offering a free cruise to a deserving caregiver.  Clara, a woman whose husband has early onset Alzheimer's, could really use our help to win that free vacation.  Click here to vote through September 15th.  And thank you for your help!

Back to your regularly scheduled links!  Look, Muppet balloon animals!  If I had a Swedish Chef balloon, I'd be the happiest kid on Earth.  (Dog and Pony Show)

Boy, this lady is just FULL of great ideas about how to help the poor.  Please note, though, that none of these ideas include giving her own fortune away to the needy (she reportedly makes $611 a SECOND.  Every second of the day.  Good god.).  (Newser)

Here's your timewaster of the day:  Catroulette.  Yup.  Just what it sounds like.  (Catroulette h/t The Frisky)

Meanwhile, on Chatroulette, Gangnam Style.
