Oh KIDS

Happy Friday!

Two for Toman in ONE Day!

Unprecedented. But it had to be done because I just stumbled upon a review that calls "Slapshot" the greatest sports movie ever made. So naturally, I had to share...

Check it here, in case you're interested.

And in case you're wondering about Toman's affection for the movie, it's so great that it prompted Vic to purchase Slapshot 2: Breaking the Ice for him- starring an icky Stephen Baldwin, at Big Lots. On VHS. For $1. Jealous?

For Toman...

This is the best thing I've heard all day. So, from my very cursory understanding of the situation- Greenpeace recently launched a contest for people to name a whale. The prereq whale names are all on there- they're as studious and thoughtful and carefully elegant as you might imagine- names like Humphrey and Amal and Malaya. Whales are serious, beautiful creatures. Greenpeace is a serious, beautiful organization.

Mister Splashy Pants is not a serious or beautiful name. But it DOES have 75% of the vote! Greenpeace is so flummoxed that it has extended the voting to try and bring dignity (and their infamous lack of a sense of humor) back to environmental causes.*

Therefore I am including the link to vote here and asking you to please take thirty seconds out of your stressful pre-holiday work day to vote for Mister Splashy Pants. And I've dedicated this to Toman because if he were still in the States and we were still commuting to work together, this is something we would've giggled about while being stuck in traffic on the 10.


*Read this plea for people to vote for a different name. It's unintentionally hilarious.

For Habs...

Blake Lewis scares me but I thought you'd like to know AOL is playing his CD for free this week here. (For others who visit the site who aren't American Idol inclined- the CD loads and starts playing and it's a little jarring. So warned. I forgot the page was open and loading and moved on to something else and then jumped about five feet in the air. Nice)


'K bye!
