Ok, this was real fun to see, especially if you’re a fan of the 007 series. Fox News, in a nod to Conan O’Brien, mashed celebrity and politicin photos to see what they would look like as one person. Some had some comical results, but the coolest one was the Bond montage. They took different actos who have played the title role and meshed them into the ultimate 007. The fun part is in figuring out who they used. There have been so many, I don’t think they were able to use a feature from every actor.

For those of you that don’t know what this is, this is called parkour. Parkour is also known as free running. Basically, you use the evironment and fluid body movement to move from point A to point B as fluidly as possible. It’s not technically a sport, but the training you need is very sport-like. I just like the idea of running and no obstacle slows you down for even a second. The guy in this video is one of the first practitioners of parkour, so you know he’s had a chance to practice.

Well, after many days of wailing and gnashing of teeth, NBC and Conan O’Brien have agreed to a deal that will end his tenure on the Tonight Show after 7 months.  This will allow Jay Leno to resume the hosting role.  I just think it’s incredibly tacky for NBC to do this since they announced Conan as the replacement host way back in 2004, then they let him go after less than a year.  I always thought Conan was funny and any transition like this takes time.  Boo NBC!

I’ve always found vetriloquists to be entertaining, and right now there are two big names in comedy whose act centers on ventriloquism.  Jeff Dunham has become a household name with his friends Walter, Peanut, Achmed, and others.  He’s got 3 concert DVDs and a Comedy Central show that lasted one season.  If no one else came along, you could probably make a case for him being the most successful ventriloquist of all time.  But there seems to be a contender.  His name is Terry Fator.

Fator just recently broke into the scene when he was on the second season of “America’s Got Talent.”  I don’t watch too much reality TV, so the way I found out about him was by stumbling onto his recent DVD.  To put it mildly, I was blown away.  Fator’s show is more singing classic songs while impersonating the original artist.

Each has their strong and weak points when compared to the other.  Fator’s ability to sing is impressive, his ability to impersonate the original artists is incredible, and coupled with his ability to do that as a ventriloquist puts him into that category of “Are you kidding me?”  Dunham does mostly stand-up comedy with his characters, which is what make me laugh to the point of tears when I watch him.  Fator’s comedy is much lighter and does make me laugh but it’s there as more of a segue for the songs.

So, in a head to head, who would win?

My last pair of sunglasses are lost, somewhere in the Bermuda triangle that is my house. And with the sun shining on the snow around us, it makes for some very bright days. So I’m looking at getting a pair of polarized sunglasses and putting a tracking chip on them somehow.  Cause if I get a good pair of sunglasses, I don’t want to be losing them anytime soon.

Well, after the first weekend of Wildcard playoffs in the NFL, I have to admit my staggering ability to pick the wrong team.  I went 1-3 in picking the winning team; the only one I got right was Jets-Bengals.  My bracket isn’t busted, but it’s pretty close, especially if I have another weekend like this last one.

Why wait for March Madness?  Why not do a bracket for the upcoming NFL playoffs? I decided to put together a bracket for the upcoming NFL playoffs just to have a little bit of fun. Download the blank bracket here.

  I can’t offer cash for getting the picks right. So, let’s have some fun. Download my copy of the bracket here. I’m not an expert, just a fan wanting to have some fun.
