Kind of a sucker for these kinds of things. Go figure... http://www.flixxy.com/best-christmas-lights-display.htm

We'll have to wait and see. Kansas was just the lucky lottery winner. They didn't make him the most talked about high school basketball player since LeBron, and he didn't really ask to be either. It just happened and there he was. Some talk now that his teammate, fellow freshman Joel Embiid might go #1 overall. He's been the 6th/7th man up until the Florida game when he finally got his first start. http://www.sbnation.com/college-basketball/2013/12/11/5198940/joel-embiid-nba-draft-profile-kansas-baskebtall He's raw, but is so quick for a big man. Fun to watch. Wiggens, on the other hand, is as smooth as can be but not nearly as selfish as he ought to be offensively. He's got the Ben McLemore disease (Kansas' one and done player from last year) in the sense that he can go silent and for stretches, and hang around on the perimeter too much. If Wiggens asserted himself as a more selfish offensive player (think Kobe), he could score 30 points per game, but it might not make the team better. As it is, he's more like 16 points per game, and should be aiming more toward 24 like a Doug McDermottt (of Creighton). Not a complete ball hog, but more assertive offensively, at least touch the ball on every possession and drive to create for himself and his teammates. I think you'll see more of that as the season progresses. As for #1, both Randle and Parker are making better cases for themselves so far this year.

Turkey meatballs. Lots of turkey meatballs of late. No pic. Not very glamorous... But I'm down 42 pounds since September 20th, and no, that's not the only thing I've been eating, thankfully. Various mustards and cheeses do spice them up a little bit though, and I'm not brand loyal, which also helps in terms of variety. I need to start doing more salads though, because therein lies man's greatest opportunity for creativity.

Watching tyrion's Florida Gators kick the living shiiiiit out of my Kansas Jayhawks. 36-21 at halftime and it could have been worse. Florida's 1-3-1 zone was making Kansas look like a grade school team. They went on a 21-0 run at one point. Sheeeez!!!

Oh, but I an CPA and a lawyer by trade. I just prefer to lay around and do fuck all most of the time!

Dude, really... there's got to be a pub nearby. It doesn't have to end like this. But I can definitely identify... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2520753/Chinese-boyfriend-jumped-death-girlfriend-insisted-going-clothes-shop.html

31 events down so far this year, with 44 to go... but the phone is still ringing and Christmas Eve isn't fully booked yet. Today is the only day with no bookings between now and the 27th. I don't intend to leave the house, not even to take garbage out to the curb and have a neighbor spot me.

Santa's Flesh... yikes!!!

I couldn't really hear them other than when we rode directly past them. They're the typical small town dorkish TV personalities, always acting all nicey nicey but with no real substance. Posted this link on Facebook as well, and one of my friends said that she watched the entire video twice! That's about 5 hours of viewing time. No thanks... I haven't even watched it myself, and don't intend to.

Fat man in red stuff all day long. Made 8 appearances today. Long, long day... My bit starts at 2:09 and goes to 2:13 (towards the end of the Parade of Lights video). Great fireworks display follows my part, but you know how fireworks go... kind of 'had to be there' kind of thing. http://www.cayman27.com.ky/cayman27livestream

Happy birthday, Tom!

^ Really strange that both teams would wear uniforms with the same colors. Makes it look like he's scoring a goal for the wrong team, but I assume that's not the case.

I'm sick of all of the sensationalized reporting about this tragic event. Let these men rest. They've lost their lives in a horrific accident, but thankfully (more than likely) didn't suffer more than a few moments of fear. Yes, he was a handsome man and a well known actor, but now he's dead. Quit with all of the bullshit videos and what Vin Diesel thinks. Let these young men rest. Mourn their deaths respectfully. What the fuck is wrong with all of these fools in the media and the millions of idiots they feed with this nonsense?

Maybe if it was Johnnie Walker, to which I'm partial.

Brushy, the one string guitarist. The guy is amazing...

Well... ya...

After reading through a bunch of the comments on that thread, I'm really wondering whether any of this even happened at all. Guy has a history of making up this kind of stuff, and it would then be plausible that he or someone else could have also made up the Diane back story as well.

This is funny. http://www.complex.com/tech/2013/11/thanksgiving-plane-fight-elan-gale

Just awful. I'm gutted. So sad to lose two young lives in this manner, no matter who they are and it happens all too often. My heart goes out to the families and friends they left behind.

Was up early working today as Santa to be part of the official starting of the Cayman Islands marathon at 5am. Back home out of suit taking a break for a couple of hours. More Santa events later today for a total of 14 since Thursday.

I don't know. It looks very British to me, taste-wise, but I'd have to see the matching leisure suit to know for sure.

Ya mon, happy birthday, mi breddah.
