Yesterday Ginny pointed ya’ll to a pretty disturbing video of a pulsating blob “living” in the sewers under Cameron Village. While everyone else was passing the video around and squirming in their seats, News 14’s Tyler Dukes did some leg work and found out what’s really living “down there.”

Have you ever tried online dating? From what I hear, there’s a lot of uninteresting people out there. But how can you summarize your life in a few words? I suspect if most people were truly honest on their match.com profiles, it might sound like this one from blogger Toastiest.

‘Slick’ Ballinger takes show to Mississippi Churches
Clayton-raised bluesman “Slick” Ballinger performs on a different kind of stage these days — Mississippi church pulpits. You have to watch this clip shared by David Menconi on his “On The Beat” blog for The News & Observer. Wow.
