Meryl Streep in The Pottymouth

View Category I seem to like these clips, where a bit of profanity slips by the network censors.  I guess it illustrates how harmless it is when they actually hit the airways, how pointless it is to try and camouflage them.  Also, it’s funny to hear the E! censor try to bleep the word and fail so badly.

    My photos are available here and here’s a collection of clips off my Cyber-shot camera.

Mackinac Island Wedding

View Category It only took eleven months to put this little video together.  Maybe I was afraid to confess one big reason I attended Brian and Lindsey’s wedding, as you’ll plainly see, was just to get back to Mackinac Island.
