Because I know so many people who adore Top Gear and all its ensuing craziness, I'm sharing this:

Jeremy Clarkson: A Life in Pictures.

Should I even bother to give a warning about potentially hilarious assholiness?

I was in a hospital today (playing chauffeur for someone) and went to get a doughnut (as you do) while they were getting their IV treatment.

So, I head upstairs and wish I had my camera with me as this was the sign above the door:

Support                                    Tim

Only in Canada,

In the same vein as Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, I just finished Sense and Sensibility and Sea-Monsters.

There is tentacle porn, honest to goodness tentacle porn.

Weird fact of the day:  Someone I know is one of the performers in the opening ceremonies.

My Firefox 3.6 persona: The Avengers.
