    Tuba players fall like dominos, Conan conquers LinkedIn and more links we love right now

    Tuba players fall like dominos, Conan conquers LinkedIn and more links we love right now
    play icon

    Editor's note: There's so much that's beautiful, funny, smart and informative on the Internet. Problem is, there's also a bunch of garbage. Here's the best of the web right now.

    1. Seven tuba pileup makes for highly entertaining halftime marching show. The Lake Travis High School band was just marching along during halftime when suddenly the tuba players began to tumble, domino style, in the middle of the field. All seven kids eventually leap up and admirably resume the show.

    2. Conan O'Brien sets out to conquer LinkedIn. Everyone's favorite red-headed comedian and talk show host has a new life goal: LinkedIn domination. O'Brien announced his diabolical plan to dethrone top influencers Richard Branson, Deepak Chopra and President Barack Obama before boasting even one connection. Since joining LinkedIn on September 27, O'Brien has gained more than 500 connections. He lists his skills as "talking, pretending to listen, blaming my father and Microsoft Excel."

    3. This salsa-dancing granny will probably steal your boyfriend. It's not every day you see a granny with serious hip control go to town on the dance floor. It wasn't enough for her to show up everybody in the crowd. Granny decided to give a shy wallflower an up-close-and-personal view of her skills. Work those high-waisted jeans, granny. You've earned it.

    4. Football fan demonstrates least amount of effort needed to consume popcorn. In what can only be described as a very sparsely attended Washington State football game, a fan enjoys some popcorn while fully reclining. "He is my MVP tonight," the announcer says. "That is my hero."

    5. Elephant says goodbye to an old friend. Death has been called the "one universal experience," and this photo of an elephant appearing to mourn her friend captures the pain of loss and unshakable desire to hold on quite vividly.

    6. Why the Breaking Bad finale was perfect. Speaking of letting go, the final episode of Breaking Bad gave us the kind of closure we usually only dream of with beloved television shows. It wasn't easy to watch, but it did tie up nearly all of the loose ends in a sad, beautiful bow.

    The Breaking Bad finale did not disappoint.

    Coppell, Dallas suburb
    City of Coppell, TX Municipal Government / Facebook
    Coppell is the No. 2 best suburb to live in Texas, and No. 5 nationwide.

    Editor's note:It's time to look back at the top Dallas news of the week, beginning with a ranking of Texas' best places to live. Plus, a Korean fried chicken chain roosts in the area, new happy hours abound, and more. Get the details on our five most popular Dallas stories below, and then check out this guide for some weekend fun.

    1. Dallas-area suburb ranks as 3rd best place to live in Texas in 2025. The Dallas-Fort Worth mid-city of Coppell has been ranked the third best place to live in Texas in 2025 by rankings and review website Niche.com. The survey determined the best places to live in based on crime rates, public school rankings, the local cost of living, job opportunities, and more using data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the FBI, and others.

    2. New Korean fried chicken chain opens 2nd U.S. location in Carrollton. A new name in Korean fried chicken has made its Texas debut in Carrollton: Called Puradak, it’s a chain that originated in South Korea in 2014, and claims to offer a "luxury" fried chicken experience, featuring a unique oven-fried method that results in a juicy, crispy chicken.

    3. Acclaimed BBQ restaurant in Arlington makes Diners, Drive-ins & Dives. A Dallas-Fort Worth barbecue spot will get its ray of Guy Fieri sunshine: Smoke 'N Ash, the "Tex-Ethiopian" BBQ restaurant in Arlington, will appear on Food Network in late May in an episode of Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, the series starring mesmerizing host Guy Fieri.

    4. Where to drink in Dallas right now: 5 new happy hours for April. April brings showers, but a drink often makes the weather better, rain or shine. This edition of where to drink boasts four new or notable happy hours and one hotel offering a special themed cocktail menu.

    5. Dallas' West Village welcomes 2 new well-known local restaurants. Dallas' West Village, the mixed-use center in Uptown, is adding two new restaurants to its roster, both from Dallas-based Vandelay Hospitality. One does oysters, the other does pizza.
