]]> Funnyman Sinbad, originally had plans to play professional basketball. He played college ball at the University of Denver, but an injury ended his career.  So he turned to comedy.

In 1983, he was a finalist on Ed McMahon’s “Star Search” and his stand-up comedy career tool off.  Since then he’s appeared in a number of major movies including “Jingle All the Way,”  “Houseguest”  and “Necessary Roughness”.

]]> A bike ride this week resulted in a fun encounter with a newborn fawn and its protective mother. The fawn was so young, it was still having problems with balance and moving faster than a slow, and somewhat unstable, walk.  It was too cute.

Watching them interact, it seemed too easy to add some all to common mother-child dialog…

Deer 1

“Now son, you need to be careful. Stay away from strangers and always stay near me and NEVER cross the path alone.”

“Okay Mom, can I go play?”

Deer 3 

“Hey you…on the bicycle with the camera, wanna play??”

Deer 6

“Junior, get back here…right now. What did I tell you about strangers?  If you can’t behave, I guess we’ll just have to go home.”

Deer 9x

“Let’s go young man…march!!”

 Deer7

I’m serious. I’m going home, and I WILL leave you here.  See, I’m leaving.

Deer 8

“She wouldn’t dare leave me…would she?”

Deer 9

“Whatever.”

Deer 9a

“Hey, look at that flower on the other side of the path.”

Deer 9b

See, I can cross by myself.

Deer 9c

FREEZE!!!  If you even put a hoof on the other side, so help me….You get back here RIGHT NOW!!

Deer 9d

What did I tell you about NEVER, EVER crossing the path alone?

But Mom…..

Deer 9e

That’s it, were going home, mister. And just wait until your father gets home.

Sorry Mom…..

I guess all mothers are the same.

]]> This clip has nothing to do with anything, but I found it funny.

How would you react in the same situation?

]]> With significantly more security on flights originating in or departing from DC, this couple would probably been in much more trouble had they been headed to Reagan National.
