Collective Cadenza has done medleys about wooing before. Recently the group put its collection of modern serenades to good use, brightening up the day of random ladies (well, except for the last one) in New York City. Hat Tip Link
Nike LeBron X MVP
A limited edition of the LeBron X. Apparently the shoe’s details “weave the story of James’s incredible journey over the past year.” All we know is that the Air Yeezy II looks like a pair of hotel slippers next to these wild kicks. Hat Tip Link
Popcorn Cat
YouTuber Anthony Jackson’s cat loves popcorn. But he doesn’t seem to want to put the snack in his belly. In fact it seems the other way around. It wants to be one with the popcorn. Is he tripping on catnip? Hat Tip Link

Not Now, We’re on the Plane
Remember that scene in Transformers 2 with the parachute? No? We don’t blame you. Well as with most things, actually opening your chute too early is a bit more jarring in real life. The goods are at the 27s mark. Hat Tip Link
