Creepin’ round: Gordon Lightfoot was once the 1960s Canadian rival of Bob Dylan, and had a smash hit as late as 1998 when Stars on 54 covered his 1971 folk ballad “If You Could Read My Mind.” Strangely, his mellow music seems better in focus now than when it was current.

Humpty Hump: Okay, the premise here is this guy gets very drunk and humps inanimate objects—cars, ATMs, parking meters, even a giant fibreglass shark. Stranger still, this skinny, sweatshirt-and-cargo-shorts-clad white dude entreats others to submit photos of themselves humping things, and submit they do, humping objects including a taxidermized deer, a 747 jet engine and famed bounty hunter Boba Fett.
