The defining moment in the career of Dennis Johnson - who Larry Bird called the best teammate he ever had - came in the 1987 Eastern Conference Finals against the evil Pistons (as seen on this clip). Everyone remember's Bird's steal, but it was Dennis' layup that won the game. And check out the clip; DJ is breaking towards the basket even before Bird picks off the pass. It was like telepathy. And now DJ...

Let's take a look back at a week that raised this Zen koan: if Kevin Federline got into a wrestling ring with a wrestler, who would you root for? Austinist was in an entertainment state of mind as they covered the dickens out of the Austin Film Festival, depicted all the Big 12 football coaches as South Park characters, and interviewed Jose Gonzalez. Chicagoist talked about the passion as they bid adieu to Bell's...

We got a couple emails this weekend from concerned citizens who had spotted Mounties on the shore at Charleston Navy Yard. Yep, it's true. The U.S. Navy, National Park Service, and colonial-dressed docents alike allowed the Canadians to dock and take shore. We hoped for a South Park-style battle to be brewing, unfortunately it was merely a PR campaign for Canadian-based Bay Ferries new CAT high-speed ferry service from Portland, ME. Formerly only making trips from Bar Harbor to Novia Scotia the company recently expanded their service to depart from Portland as well. We hear it's been well received by their focus groups. A maze of metal barriers was woven together to board the ferry, though when we made it down to take a look there was merely a trickle of folks checking out the "open house" ferry. We expected a lot of tourists to be present, but found that a majority of the people we encountered were not from distant lands stopping over after checking out the Constitution but were travel agents and other tourism workers who had just come up from Braintree, or out from Worchester to gander at Canada's big boat. We didn't take a close enough look to know if they were supposed to promote Maine or Canada – but foam lobsters were the prize for anyone who made it onto the CAT.

R. Kelly's Trapped In The Closet is the story of Sylvester, a hapless philanderer whose simple one-night stand with a preacher's wife leads him into a tangled and ever more preposterous web of lies, betrayal, asthmatic midgets, and telenovela-quality cliffhangers. Lauded by some (notably R. Kelly himself) as a work of genius and enjoyed by many as "the Plan 9 of music videos," this shamelessly operatic R&B melodrama has spawned its own Wikipedia entry, an Upright Citizens Brigade symposium, and a great many parodies: one of them a South Park episode involving a certain totally not gay Scientologist, but none of them funnier than the thing itself.
