Afternoon Meme: We Go Commando with Stephen Colbert, Check Out Latest Cat Technology, and Get an Apology from "Jersey Shore"

Sorry if we're running late – I had a rough start to the morning (and not just in the comments on Morning Meme). But it was nothing compared to what these folks went through just waiting for a commuter train in Buenos Aires.

You all know my love of wild contraptions, and the creator of this one has my undying love. Besides, all Cadbury Creme Eggs deserve to be smashed – they're gross.

Coming in on the slightly insane side of things, a man has built a 5-story ice castle in his back yard for his wife. The Today Show gang get in some harsh digs to distract from how sweet and magical it is.

Yesterday on The View, the cast of Jersey Shore stopped by and talked all things GTL (Gym, Tanning, Laundry). Elisabeth also gave Ronnie a chance to address the homophobic rant he went on before getting into a boardwalk fist fight. MTV edited the footage out of the show, but someone leaked it to TMZ last week.

Last night Stephen Colbert continued to pretend he was still in Vancouver, and talked everything from Johnny Weir to moose riding. But it was his saucy conversation with skier Lindsey Vonn that raised my eyebrows just a bit. A conversation might be a bit generous – she was so busy blushing and giggling he did most of the talking.

In this Colbert Report outtake, Stephen suggests to the speed skating coach that the racers go "commando" like the skeleton riders do. It might make for some interesting podium shots at least.

In other Olympic adjacent happenings, figure skater Evan Lysacek stopped by Larry King Live to discuss his medal (there's trivia there!) and Plushenko's continuing rant about the lack of a quad jump.

On Pooch Cafe, we get an illustration of How Cats See Themselves. Hint: It's not like we see them, but it is spectacular.

In other cat-related news, they've invented anti-dog force fields (also known as glass patio doors). Also possible: Dogs aren't that bright.

For Trailers, I give you the preview for The Karate Kid 2010. The cinematography is amazing – it must be nice having Will Smith as a dad. Nothing but the best.

This guy is investigating a ceiling leak in his convenience store. Then something happens. Major props to the clerk who just looks, turns, and calmly walks away.

And finally, Over the Hedge takes us Gnome Bowling. But that's not the joke.
