I stumbled upon this video a few months ago, but it came across my lap (or laptop) once again. I don’t care what year, month, day it is – this little bugger is incredible. I know they train seeing eye dogs to do many of the tasks that “Jesse” does, but putting it all together in one video just makes him seem unstoppable. From the time little Jesse…Read more

The cast of AMC’s The Walking Dead ran into a few “walkers” and screamed their way through “Halloween Horror Nights” at Universal Studios Hollywood during a recent visit to “The Walking Dead: Dead Inside” maze.

The cast was on hand to celebrate the eagerly-awaited Season 3 premiere, then followed-up with separate visits. Laurie Holden, who stars as strong-willed “Andrea,” called the maze “scarier than the show.” “The Walking Dead: Dead Inside” maze is based on the Golden Globe-nominated hit television series and features “walkers”…Read more

We’d run home from school to begin the chocolate hunt in our best dressed Power Ranger and Princess attire. After three hours, we had enough candy to last us an entire year. The best…Read more
