Oh. My. Goodness.

Seriously?

I had a foot chopped off for charity

Oh don't worry, it'll grow back in about a year and a half. Then I'll have it chopped off again. I do this regularly. If any of my fellow Canucks wish to do the same, check out this site. The hairdresser, recommended by good friend Libby, must have misunderstood me when I asked her to cut off about 20 cm. Perhaps she thought that I wanted her to leave 20 cm.

That's more than 30 cm!

In imperial, for my American friends

In other news...

Reuters had their news captions and photographs out of sync this morning, leading to the following amusing pairings:

Yeah, yeah, I know...

...more Ferris pictures, yawn. You have to understand, though, that I've been trying for months to capture these images. Since I'm usually the one being hugged, it hasn't been an easy task. I'm pleased as punch to present to you... The Ferris Hug.

Thank you to my model, Laura.

Never mind the language...

...look at what this woman is doing.

As my father pointed out, she Swiffers her a-hole. How did those crafty advertising folks get away with that?

Upon request

The amazing blogger HAR has requested more embarrassing photos of Scott. I rarely receive requests, so I'm feeling both flattered and obliging. Here goes:

Ambushed by an aunt

See something interesting, Scott?

Too close for comfort

Horseradish 1, Scott 0

If his work buddies ever saw this...

Thanks for this one, Ian.

One of Scott's Christmas presents

Let me explain those last two photos. Us left-wing city-slickers smugly think of ourselves as ultra-liberal and open-minded, and we have a lot of fun with our favourite right-wing country-bumpkin, Scott. To be honest, however, Scott really doesn't fit the redneck hick stereotype. While he supports the Conservative party and he refuses to hang the rainbow air-freshener (above) in the car, he is far more open-minded than I give him credit for. He moved to The Big Smoke without protest, he fits in with people from all walks of life, and he is even somewhat metrosexual. In short, he's an awesome guy.

That being said, it's still fun to embarrass him.

Happy New Year!

A good time was had by all.
