My favourite photo-induced flight of fancy

Wouldn't you?






















photo: Wikipedia - Bouncers (seriously)

I'm thinking of using this image to go pitch a series to American television networks. It should go something like this:

"Stilt-Girl and The Bouncer is a one-hour comedic detective series which follows the adventures of Rena, a circus performer with psychic powers who was raised by a Gypsy in rural Indiana and Freddy, a bad-boy bouncer from the wrong side of the tracks. Freddy's street smarts, tough-guy charm and problems with New York's Marelli family have made him the most popular, and only, bouncer in the small Kansas town where Rena is teaching circus arts to disabled children. The unsuspecting couple meet in a Chinese restaurant and begin to investigate the death of Bubbles The Clown, Rena's best friend and Freddy's favourite customer. Surprisingly, the case not only sparks a friendship, but also leads the duo all over small town USA as they come to realise that Bubbles was in fact a CIA agent with ties to the president. Why was he killed? Did it have something to do with the President? And why can't you get a decent bagel in  Sommerville, MA? Only Stilt-Girl and The Bouncer know for sure..."

And last but not least... my favourite Christmas song of all time...

My favourite Scratch Perverts

My favourite animal documentary

My favourite showpigs-in-waiting

I don't know why I did this.

I was taking pictures and flipped th camera to video because my eldest was being funny (funny of the "I don't mean to be" variety, I should add). Once he discovered I was taping him, and not taking a photograph, everything changed.

Very suddenly.

This will now remain a testament to the fact that there is a very thin line between between goofing off for the camera and desperately craving the attention that comes with being videotaped. Looks like my kids have decided which side of the divide they are on.

I don't know why I did this, but it still makes me laugh.

Okay. I'll admit it. I'm full of shit and my kids need Ritalin. Stat.



And to prove that I may not be lying, here's how it started. Note the difference in performance levels.



Now that I've watched them again, that is one is definitely funnier. The moral of this story, dear reader? Always make sure your kids are in the dark when you're filming them. Not the literal dark. The metaphorical one, you numbskull.

Ahhhhh... I love it when I get to fit numbskull into a conversation. Or a rant...

My favourite pissed off Christmas song

My favourite XTC song that always manages to get me going

My favourite film that I would love to see again or even possibly own

And gee whiz, look at that... Christmas is just around the corner. Golly!

My favourite Kids in the Hall sketch that I somehow have never seen

I used to watch KITH religiously. When I moved to Montreal, I didn't have a TV, so there are still some episodes from the later seasons that I have never seen. This is a good thing, as it allows one to see these wonderful, wonderful men in action and discover them all over again. Kevin, Dave, Scott, Mark, Bruce... Thank you for all the laughs. I love you. You know, in a manly way... I mean, as friends.

The beard stays! You go!
