The Dance Of The Sugarplum Fishies

Big Dumb Athlete?

Not this one:

 

• O'Neal promised his mother he would return to school and in 2000 he earned a BA in General Studies from LSU.
• He earned an MBA online in 2005.
• He is currently working toward a PhD in Leadership and Education with a specialization in Human Resource Development at Barry University.  His dissertation topic is: “How Leaders Utilize Humor or Aggression in Leadership Styles.”

I'm posting this charming video because I'm impressed that O'Neal seems to have taken his job as guest conductor of the Boston Pops seriously.  If I ever find out, however, that he terrorizes his family, takes steroids or tortures innocent animals, out he goes.

Are you 7'1"?  Can you dunk?  Do you have an MBA?  Have you conducted the Boston Pops, even in your dreams?

Yes Virginia, The Twelve Days Of Christmas Carol Can Indeed Be Rendered Tolerable

The adult chorus sang this piece last night at the Bach holiday concert where Cupcake's choir performed. Believe me, if I could have recorded it without fear of being hustled from the hall or arrested, I would have.  Instead, we'll just have to make do with these videos (thanks YouTube!) and you'll get the idea.  If you're at all an aficionado of classical music you'll catch on; make sure you watch both parts and I'm pretty sure you'll be nearly as tickled as I was.

Or do you prefer this one?

Wordless Wednesday: It's Anybody's Guess

Who can guess the meaning and location of these graffiti?  Want a prize for the closest guess?  how about a new toaster?  Or a pink umbrella?

Weird And Bizarre December Holidays

Make personalized calendars even more personal with the addition of peculiar dates; here are some for December.

FeeFiFoto has been producing personalized photo calendars as a core part of our business since we were established. For the 2007 Christmas season we added a bunch of new templates, a thousand or so pieces of clip art, and the capacity to arrange photos in collages instead of being limited to a single photo per page. We've always had a feature that lets you enter your own family birthdays, anniversaries or special events.

Last year the kids and I designed calendars for our family, and in addition to the usual birthdays and anniversaries, we chose one day each month for a fictitious holiday just to see if anyone was paying attention. January 16 was Talk Like Pirates Day, February 24 was Walk Backwards Day, March 1 was Talk Really Fast Day, August 17 was Snowball Fight Day, and November 2 was Kiss Your Mom Day. We also acknowledged some legitimate holidays and anniversaries, like the Ides of March (March 15), Beethoven's Birthday (December 16) and the anniversary of Paul Revere's Ride (April 18). It was fun and silly.

Here are some silly, and real (supposedly) holidays you can add to photo calendars.
