Quick-Hitters, 12/21

As an added holiday bonus, I'm throwing in some links today. These shouldn't be frustrating ones like those on Wednesdays. So it's time to stuff your internet stocking with something other than porn.

Still, think of this as the worst Christmas present you've ever received.

• A late winner for the "Most Amusing Celebrity Story," award this year, in my opinion, is the Jamie-Lynn Spears pregnancy. Several funny things came out of this, including the fact that her parents are named Jamie and Lynne, respectively. The best part, however, is that now Nickelodeon may broadcast a sex-ed show. You better believe I'm DVRing that bad boy.
• When I was younger and the Celtics were awful, and I wasn't willing to take the leap and buy an Eric Montross jersey (like my friend Dave's brother), Gary Payton became my favorite player. I was psyched when he finally ended up with the Celtics a few years ago, even though he was an old man and most of his skills on the defensive end left him, and I was even at the Fleet Center when he scored his 20,000th point. Now he's expressed interest in coming back to Boston. I'm still excited, even though he's old enough now that his only major contribution to the team will be in the form of a distinct Ben-Gay odor. 
• Hey, speaking of forgotten basketball players, here's a highlight reel of Dana Barros. It's 12 seconds long and features a layup and a jump shot. sorry about the spoilers.
• And then there's this. I can't really describe it, but it's fantastic.
• Lil' Ronnie just got harsher. I think this is why the terrorists want to kill us.

Enjoy. Happy Holidays.
