Throwaway Thoughts

There's a ton of goofy things on the Internet these days, but this one caught my eye. Our culture has deemed celebrities more important than real issues like war, health care, genocide and such ... so I figured I would jump on the bandwagon and stroke my own ego. So, here are my celebrity look-a-likes:



I had a nice little laugh when I tried this with a photo of myself with dark hair and some facial hair and the top three responses were Johnny Depp, Luke Wilson and Thomas Jefferson. I'm just a bigger fan of Albert Finney, Alan Rickman and Johannes Brahms ... so I though I would share this one with you.

Grammy Nom and Best Cameo in a Music Video

Major congrats to Weird Al Yankovic for his Grammy nomination. The nominations for the 49th annual Grammy Awards were announced December 7th, and I'm very happy to report that our old friend Weird Al made the cut! His recent album Straight Outta Lynwood was nominated for 2 awards: Best Comedy Album (the other nominees are George Carlin, Lewis Black, Bill Engvall and Ron White) and Best Surround Sound Album.

There's a category for Best Surround Sound Album? Or should I just stop reading press releases that come from Weird Al himself?

When MTV or VH1 (or whoever actually shows music videos these days) has their next award show they need to nominate Donny Osmond for best cameo appearance in a video. If you haven't checked it out yet, here ya go ... the hottest video out there:



That's Great Shat!

In my last post I pointed out that we will all soon be missing the remarkably talented William Shatner's game show and have to simply be content with the man's brilliant performances on Boston Legal. Luckily, I stumbled across this piece of video that proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Shatner is a talent like no other.



... yes, I promise future posts will have more thought put into them. It's the holiday season ... cut me a break.
