straw. these photos show the amazing works on display. like sand castle festivals, these are notable for their artistry and creativity, not to mention their national pride. and while there are some cuddly straw monsters, there are others that prove japan s straw dominance over the united states. be honest. would you rather have this as a scare crow or this? i thought so. you win this round, japan. and the third awesomest thing, taking ted by storm. you probably heard of ted talk, lectures by a likes of cheryl sandburg and oothers to promote ways to see the world. here s sam hyde infiltrating a ted event where he passed himself off as a globe trotting adventure and delivered a speech called 2270 paradigm ship. give me like 25 seconds here.
coming up, as promised, tonight we ll present another chapter in our ongoing saga, these are the people who are running the country, where we go in-depth on the members of congress who are holding the government hostage until they get their way about whatever it is they ve decided they want today. but first, i want to share the three awesomest things on the internet today. we begin with a food fight of fancy. we begin with comedian patten oswald, a click three favorite, often has fun at the expense of our collective appetites, notably in a bit about the black angus steakhouse, where he remembers a ridiculously over the top menu. at black angus, we ll start you off with our appetizer platter, featuring five jumbo deep-fried gulf shrimp, served on a disc of salted butter, with 15 of our potato bacon bombs and a red pork cracklings with our cheese and butter dipping sauce.
