A Jack Russell terrier viciously attacks a bouquet of 74 party balloons, popping each and every one of them in less than a minute.
As the little bug-eyed animal freaks out, it sounds less like a dog and more like a gremlin being strangled.
Keeping that in mind, here are 10 of the most entertainingly pointless videos that we fed our precious minutes to this year.

Austinites are gearing up for holiday shopping, and while 66 million shoppers around the country braved Black Friday in 2007, some retailers are fretting over how many might visit their stores this year.A report from the National Retail Federation forecasts individual consumer spending will be up a paltry 1.9 percent over 2007 and predicts consumers will purchase an average of $832.36 in presents this year.
Local shops that rely on holiday shopping to boost their yearly sales may have to get more creative this holiday season.We average about 9 percent of our sales in the month of December, and I always close from Christmas to New Year’s, said Matthew Marinari, owner of the Mitre Box, an art and custom framing shop in Oak Hill Centre at the Y.

Thomas Jefferson High School chapter of Future Business Leaders of America.
Eight soldiers from Fort Lewis four men and four women who are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.This student club in the Federal Way School District is seeking donated items such as baby wipes/moist wipes, drink mix pouches, cookies, chips, candy, tuna pouches, Nutri-Grain bars, nuts, Pop-Tarts, tampons, razors, soaps and shaving cream.
You can also write letters/notes for the soldiers.Drop off items at Thomas Jefferson school office, 4248 288th St., Auburn.
Drop off items for holiday delivery by Dec.
Any items after that date will go out in later shipments, as the students have adopted the soldiers for the year.
The doors open precisely at 6 a.m.
Amid a swarm of bargain hunters, just a few feet in front of me, two men — grown men — throw punches in the middle of Target.
This is Black Friday at its worst.
You might assume an event like this, which I witnessed last year, would sour me on shopping the day after Thanksgiving.
I’ve been chasing early bird doorbusters for years, and there’s always a story to tell.
Yes, I’ve seen my share of injustice — jerks jumping line, nasty salespeople, physical assault — and it angers me.
Last year, a man I met in line offered to carry my 37-inch flat screen TV to the checkout.
Another stranger stood guard over my TV while I got a shopping cart.
I’m not a Black Friday expert, but I’ve learned a thing or two since my mom dragged me out of bed to get a dirt-cheap Dirt Devil when I was on fall break from college.
Here’s my shopper’s guide to making the most of today’s...

Money is tight this holiday season, meaning more shoppers than usual are making their lists and checking them twice before hitting the mall.
About 55 percent of consumers report that they plan to reduce their holiday spending somewhat this year, while 27 percent plan to spend much less than last year, according to a survey by the Consumer Federation of America.Consumers are expressing an unusually strong desire to tighten their belts this holiday spending season, said Bill Hampel, president of the Credit Union National Association, which jointly conducted the poll.

We have already filled up the stage at the church and down the side at 12th Street Presbyterian Church.
We are hoping for more.When the Community Christmas coordinator went into West Elementary and saw all the canned goods, she said she was shocked.All those kids helped immensely, she said.
We filled up a (Chevrolet) Suburban with food.
It became a competition on who could...

Spendthrift (spend’ thrift’) n. a person who spends money carelessly; squanderer.
Frugal (froo’ gel) adj. not wasteful; not spending freely; thrifty.
As economic news has worsened and recession appears inevitable, Americans’ spending habits have swung from one definition to another.
Spendthrift to frugal, in record time.
After years of free-spending and saying “charge it” at every turn, Americans are using words such as “scrimp and save” and “scrape up some cash.” Now, they’re cutting back on almost all fronts, regardless of how much they earn. According to a recent USA Today/Gallup Poll, 55 percent say they’ve cut household spending as a result of lower prices in the stock market and fears about the economy.
