Mike Smith is a god among men. You could say that we idolize athletes too much but this guy really deserves it. Hockey still has passion because the players play with passion. I can’t say the same for the NBA, where I feel the fans are more passionate than the sold-out players. On a side note: I loved when Bissonnette beat the crap out of Bollig, see videos below:

I am not a fan of Jennifer Hudson. Unfortunately, her face keeps appearing in front of me. So I’ve decided that the only way to fix the problem is to associate her with positive things I like.

I like pizza, therefore I should like Jennifer Hudson. Face it, bringing food into the equation can mend hearts. I once forgave a friend because he bought me Arby’s.

I like animals and lately I have been fascinated with Sphynx cats. Notice how Jennifer fails to gain their attention even with a toy.

I like ice cream, so seeing Jennifer Hudson eat her way out of a bowl seems like good fun. I hope Weight Watchers isn’t watching. You could probably place any enemy in this situation for comic relief.

This is old Tom Morris, golf legend circa 1905. He held the record for biggest margin of victory of 14 strokes for over 95 years (from 1905 to 2000, when Tiger Woods won at Pebble Beach by 15 strokes). Tom was 84 years-old when he set that record. Old Tom died at age 87 in 1908 after falling down a flight of stairs. I hate golf but respect old Tom Morris tremendously.

While I don’t think I would ever purchase a cat from a breeder (for moral reasons), hairless cats, also known as Sphynx, are wicked awesome. This one looks like a mean old man.

The Louvre can be overwhelming. On my second trip, I noticed some of the more brutal works of art. The work above is clearly not a family portrait. I like to call this painting “Chop Fest” but it’s real name is “Beheading of Saint Cosmas and Saint Damian” painted by Fra Angelico in Rome in 1438.  Notice the halos on the decapitated heads, a sign of martyrdom.

Lunch is served! Oh, wait! That is a human head, you can’t eat it. Actually this is a very famous scene, depicted in many paintings (1, 2, 3). The painting above is by Bernardino Luini and is one of the less famous depictions.

Dude, I think you need to go to the hospital! “Nah, man I will just lay down for awhile, I’ll be alright.” This is Saint Pierre of Verona and he didn’t survive, painted by Ambrogio Bergognone in 1494.

“Sorry to interrupt madame,  a mob has hung Billy and it is not looking good for the rest of us.” Painting by Filippino Lippi.

You know things are bad when a half-man/half-goat is bonding with your baby. The baby (really an angel) is just chilling, while goat-man lets his ding-dong breathe. I have no information on this painting. I took all the photos above and Google Image “Search by image” did the rest.

Update: Taffy has found a forever home!

This is Taffy, a 10-year-old pit bull mix. When her owner died, she was sent to the vet to be put down by the children of the deceased owner. Imagine if your mom died and you were going to be put down because your family didn’t want the hassle of transporting you back to Hawaii. Well that is what happened to Taffy.

But April and I stepped in and now Taffy is in our care. She is loveable and shy but has warmed up to Ralph and is already sleeping at the foot of the bed. Now it is time to fine Taffy a “forever home”. For more details email: blog@jimmyco.com

David Wallace: I’ll fax over some of the things we’re looking for, ok?
Michael Scott: Fax? Why don’t you just send it over on a dinosaur?

Let’s remember that there is no reason to fax anything, ever.
