Jim’s Pancakes

My name is Jim and I like to make pancakes for my Daughter, Allison. She seems to like them, but, being 3 I don’t think she really cares too much.

My dad used to make me really fun shaped pancakes like “The Moon,” “Lightbulb,” and “Balloon” so I guess I can credit his genius.

The guy is uber talented, and this one isn’t even the best one on his website.  He even has some videos in which he explains how he makes some of these creations.

Bag of Randomness

  • I really enjoyed watching Betty White host SNL, and it was cool to see so many former SNL ladies come back and be part of the show.
  • There were a few times where you could tell Betty was squinting her eyes to read her lines, but she only did that during non-speaking parts.  She’s a veteran of live television, so I bet she really enjoyed this opportunity even though I’m sure it was way past her bedtime.
  • I liked the way SNL made sure they didn’t wear her out by including her in more than usual taped skits – all those MacGruber skits was a double advantage for them, it saved Betty’s energy and it was easy promotion for the upcoming movie.  It also helped that Jay-Z’s first performance was a total of about three songs.
  • Personally, I was hoping for one St Olaf reference.
  • I learned over the weekend that baby product manufacture Graco is owned by Rubbermaid.
  • The Miss USA website had an poll in which the public could choose their favorite contestant, with Miss Louisiana USA taking top honors.

    Miss DC USA came in last, I’m sure that must be a tough pill to swallow.  What’s more interesting is that it appears that each contestant took at least one lingerie shot.
  • I’ve been reading Speech-less: Tales of a White House Survivor.  I first read an excerpt of it in GQ while waiting in a doctor’s office or getting a haircut or something and it seemed really fascinating since it gave a behinds the scenes account of what goes on in the White House from the perspective of a speechwriter, and I thought with my love of presidential history.  Before I bought the book, I made sure to read the introduction in the bookstore just to make sure it would be something worth reading, and by all accounts it was.  Of the 280 pages, I’m on page 157, and it’s on this page where he just starts working for the White House.  I feel a bit cheated that I had to read about the author’s days in his young conservatives group and working for a senator and congressman, and Donald Rumsfeld before I got to the part I actually wanted to read.  I thought the book was going to focus on his time working for the president, I didn’t expect it to basically be an autobiography..
  • But truth be told, I really enjoyed reading about the time he spent with Rumsfeld as his speechwriter.
  • The Amazing Race had a really cool segment last night where the contestants had to find a clue in a virtual world inside on of George Lucus’ studio – every Star Wars geek’s dream.
  • HBO’s The Pacific is some of the best television I’ve seen in a long while, but last night’s episode was emotionally heart wrenching.
  • Remember those entertaining answering machine messages you could buy for you old tape playing answering machine?  Some person posted an entire tape of them here.  The audio can be found just under the image when you click on the link.
  • It looks like you may have to pay to drive in and out of Pennsylvania.
  • For you NPR and Lada Gaga fans
  • A very wrong place to wash hands
  • Bacon Syrup
  • If you ever wanted to put your photos in a magazine format – Photozini
  • The state of Montana wants you to Get Lost.

Airport screener accused of beating co-worker after jokes about his genitalia

A Miami International Airport federal security screener has been arrested for allegedly using an expandable police baton to beat up a co-worker.

The source of their conflict, police say: daily ribbing about the size of the screener’s genitalia.

Screener Rolando Negrin’s private body parts were observed by his Transportation Security Administration colleagues conducting training on the airport’s full-body imaging machines.

Months of joking culminated on Tuesday night, when Negrin attacked co-worker Hugo Osorno in an employee parking lot, according to an arrest report.

Negrin “stated he could not take the jokes any more and lost his mind,” said the report, made public Thursday.

The agitated screener forced Osorno to his knees and made him apologize before whacking him on the back and arms with the baton, according to the report.
