I stumbled across a video last night featuring an interview of Sir Patrick “Captain Jean-Luc Picard / Professor Charles Xavier” Stewart, in which he provides an after-the-fact review of a game of pool that he won against his son, Daniel. Daniel has a couple of amusing shots of his dad on his Twitter account:

He’s had a few drinks and he’s affecting the accent of a working class guy, complete with expressions like “ennit?” (for “isn’t it?”). Among other things, he talks about going to Florida, my new home-away-from-home in the new year, where Jeb Bush has challenged him to a “pool-off”.

The video’s quite amusing — be sure to watch it:

I wish I was going to be doing this…

But I’m quite certain that I’d turn myself into road pizza rather quickly. What I’m doing today will be more like this…

Seeing as there’s no snow on the ground as it’s going to be unseasonably warm, this might be a better way of getting around:

The vehicle pictured above is a Ford C-MAX Energi plug-in hybrid car, and Ford have invited me to take it for a spin around town today while they shoot pictures and video of me behind the wheel, driving about, telling stories and cracking wise.

Along with me for the ride to document the event will be Rannie “Photojunkie” Turingan:

And we’ll be zipping about The Danforth, where we’ll try out the C-MAX Energi’s features, participate in some holiday merriment and even do something for a good cause…

Pictures, video and story to follow!

Oh, it’s on, Bunny. It’s. On.

It’s December, which means it’s time to start making regular visits to the “Santa, NO!” Tumblr, the home of regrettable Santa pictures. Some of these may not be safe for work or your mental health, but I can’t help it: I need to look into that Santa abyss!

Santa snitched.

Here’s what the good boys and girls in Colorado and Washington State are getting this year.

“Don’t you judge me and put me on the naughty list,” huffed Becky as she battered Santa with the snow shovel she named “Vengeance”. “You don’t know my life!”

This is how young kids picture Santa when they’re made to sit on his lap at the mall.

Yes, you’ve probably been told over and over that life’s about the journey, not the destination (and if you’re a regular reader of this blog, I’ve probably told you that at least a half-dozen times), but you’ve probably never been told this way: with philosopher Alan Watts’ voice and the South Park guys doing the pictures. (Really, it’s the South Park guys — check the credits.)

…is that it opens up the arenas for all sorts of people to get into the game.
