Yesterday was National Nachos Day, and I totally missed it. I missed it.

Here is my promise to you, the American people: I will make up for this oversight in a big way in the upcoming days and weeks until National Nachos Day comes back around.

7-Eleven nachos, ballpark nachos, Nacho Bellgrande, Nachos Supreme, Fully Loaded Nachos, Irish Nachos, steak nachos, chicken nachos, Nacho Libre -- no nacho will go unturned or undigested until this mistake has been rectified.

Count on it.

Try as you might to avoid it, I'm sure you've heard at least part of that Miley Cyrus song where she's caterwauling about listening to Jay-Z. It's unavoidable.

You know what's totally avoidable, though? Jay-Z songs, at least for Miss Miley. Check out her answer when she's asked in an interview which of Jay-Z's songs she's singing about (skip to 2:55 for the response):

Well, I guess this is one way to get people to pay attention to college soccer.

The list of people waiting to high-five that faulty appendix is growing.

The National Enquirer is reporting that Kevin Federline and his sperm of steel stood too close to girlfriend Victoria Prince and now she's knocked up with what would be his fifth child. That's not really what this post is about, though.

This is what this post is about:

Is it me or do they look like a backwards 10?

I just read this story about a 56-year old woman in Pennsylvania and her 35-year old daughter who were busted for stealing a Walmart gift card from a 9-year old who'd set the card down on a shelf as she was being helped by an employee. On her birthday.

To avoid jail time, the women agreed to a more unusual punishment: for 41 and a half hours, they will sit/stand in front of the courthouse holding a sign that reads "I stole from a 9-year old on her birthday. Don't steal or this could happen to you!"

So I'm wondering: does the punishment fit the crime? My first reaction is to say yes. Jails are overcrowded. Public humiliation -- and worse, online humiliation -- that's a pretty decent alternative. Now, if the women had been forced to twirl the sign, or pretend to air guitar with it, then I would have said too much.

What say you? Is it time to start finding more creative solutions to California's crime problem?

Like, really doesn't like him.

Everyone's favorite children's television show featuring a green monster in a trash can turns 40 this month! On November 10, "Sesame Street" will kick off its 40th season with special guest First Lady Michelle Obama.

Celebrations are starting early: Google is already getting in on the festivities, as seen below.

Let's also take a trip down memory lane with the classic show. After the jump are a few of my favorite "Sesame Street" clips. I invite you to talk about/share links of your favorites in the comments section.

I heard an unfortunate story last night from a friend who had some trouble with a local bar Halloween night.

She'd ordered a couple of drinks and paid with her card. The tab was left open, but not by choice -- the bartender grabbed the card and then hurried off to help other customers. My friend didn't have any intention of ordering more drinks, but she was unable to get the bartender's attention, so she went back to her table. When she went up later to settle the tab, the bartender told her that they'd lost my friend's card, and that they were sorry, and would void out the charges for the two drinks.

Panicked, my friend hurried home to call her bank. She'd left her contact info with the bar just in case the card turned up, and luckily it did. The bar called her that night to say the card had been found behind some paperwork.

Do you suck at knowing when to use apostrophes?

If you answered "yes" or "what's an apostrophe?" then you should check out this remarkably cute and helpful guide to using apostrophes. It's a quick go-to reference for when you're not sure about whether or not to stick an apostrophe into a word (their advice: if you're uncertain, don't do it, which is good advice in most situations).

Also, there's a story about a guy with a jellybean hat, if that helps you learn better.
