Banned Blaupunkt Commercial

Oh lucky us, to have all the violence we want on TV and thank heavens the eke sex stuff is banned, esp. when it involves a teddy bear and a fluffy bunny making out in the back of the car.

Happy Holidays

Orc SantaI’ll relax a bit for the next two weeks visiting family and friends, drinking spiced mulled wine, eating pie, and more of the same and all that stuff.

If your Santa is as mean looking as that fellow here, then just grab your Wii control and swing it real hard and send the results to wiihaveaproblem.com.

Whatever you do, relax, get some gaming time in, stop for a minute and live for a change.

Happy holidays and a merry Christmas 2006 everyone!

My Celebrity Match

… Robert Redford? Huh! How accurate is this face recognition celebrity match thing? No clue, but it’s fun, esp. when you get matches from the opposite sex (some do I hear *g*). I saw this over at Trench’s blog and thought I’d give it a go. Never would I have thought that I am a 80% match with Robert Redford…
