For those of you who live abroad and in the Holy Republic, that's our current Prime Minister, a looong time ago.

Thanks to tfbretz.

If only I hadn't used up my lifetime supply of "Ordering t-shirts off the internet" karma.

I want a Youtube video of Stephen Harper set to the Guess Who's "These Eyes".

Cause that guy's eyes, man, they are creepy,

• 14:01 Snowflakes have begun to fall. Don't know if this is for good or not, but it's a good way to begin December, I guess. #
• 14:03 I am currently listening to Christmas music while raking the last leaves of the fall. There is melancholy here. #

In addition to Shadowrun's Digital Grimoire, I took in a few other books from RPGnow.com this week.

Adamant has a sale on everything they have, selling them for a buck each.

For example, the Thrilling Tales Omnibus, containing a craptonne of stuff (including the Nazis & Thugee books and 18 Pulp Advanced Classes) is $1.

If you were a fan of Skull and Bones, you can get the first three issues of BUccaneers and Bokor for $1. And the fourth to six issues for the same price.

You can also get the two issues of Franklyn's Almanack, the expansion magazine for Northern Crown (which I'm now very fond of) as well as a great selection of their Imperial Age d20 Modern Victorian adventure books. Because, hey, that Steampunk stuff is big with the kids.

So, yeah, sale! Go get some!

I am a 363 days of the year cook. I cook around teh house for 363 days of the year. The wife takes over for Christmas and Thanskgiving. And possibly Easter on leap years.

I help her when I can, mind you, but she's very possesive of the kitchen when she's in charge.

Speaking of cooking, I did our semi-regular curry last night, and tried something different. Instead of dicing the onion, I grated it instead. I couldn't really tell any difference, other than feeling like I'd just been zapped with the springtime freshness of mace.

I used garlic on the smaller grater instead of using the big jug of pre crushed garlic. It worked out pretty good. Maybe a nice press would do a better job.

Anyone know if grating does a good job or a bad job for prepping garlic and onions? I use them in a lot of dishes, so it's good to know if I'm messing them up entirely.

But I have GOT to get me that book.

I think Pixel Barrell was the first to notice this, but the tea shop guy is Jeffery from Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

Which, of course, makes me think current speculation is all a smokescreen, and in 2011 we can look forward to the 4th of July weekend being dedicated to: Who, starring Will Smith.

Can you imagine it? The remaining Ponderous Announcer man speaks over a slowly appearing Tardis. "There is a man. No one knows his name. No one knows where he comes from. But in 2011, everyone will get to know... Who.

Script Excerpt!


Companion: Doctor, the Daleks just vapourized the Chrysler building!
Who: Ah, Hell Nah!

He'll jump out of the way of an explosion, and the inside of the Tardis will look like an Apple store. Fresh new hotness, people!

When he first regenerates, he'll have to combine the "walk through a giant wardrobe" scene with his suitification in MiB. Imagine Will Smith's urban energy mated to the historicity of Dr. Who! We're talking mega-blockbuster!

Directed by Michael Bay, from a script by JJ Abrams.

Get in line now, kids!

There was an awesome article online somewhere a decade ago that outlined how Cobra from the GI Joe comics was essentially Amway with HISS tanks.

And, for the life of me, I can't find the darn thing. I find a cute thingy related to it, but the original article had more mojo to it.
