Christmas Vacation

There’s no chance of Eddie and the family showing up in the motorhome but we are now officially enjoying our Christmas vacation.  2 weeks away from that which pays the bills but brings little stimulation or enjoyment.

 

Tiger Woods attempts to woo back sponsors

As rumours surface that Tiger Woods may appear at this year’s Masters Tournament, it also appears that he is going to extreme lengths to recapture some of the sponsorships that he lost when he had trouble keeping his driver in the bag.

No comments yet from officials at Nike as to if this approach is working.

Sunday fun

A couple of videos for your Sunday pleasure.

First, a 25th anniversary commercial for Virgin Atlantic.  Cheeky and fun which pretty well sums up Richard Branson’s first venture into the world of aviation.

 

 

Next up, this one is definitely an original.  “Ricardo Autobahn” links clips from TV and movies to create a catchy little tune.

 

 

That’s it for now.

Spam as fine literature

Checking the Gmail spam bucket for mislabelled messages you once in a while come across a classic.  Today’s gem:

She will learn once and for all that your pork steeple is the best!

I doubt that Shakespeare could have said it better.

Leslie Feist (born in Amherst Nova Scotia) had a breakout hit with 1234 when it was used in an Apple iPod Nano commercial.  The original video is a catchy little song and dance version.

Everyone’s seen and heard it but I just saw the version she performed with the Muppets.

Fun fact: This was performed as part of Sesame Street’s 39th season.
