As I blogged in 2008 and 2009, it’s that time of year again at our house. Time for the annual Christmas tradition of Collin placing Baby Jesus in our nativity scene.
It is no secret that our Baby Jesus is not afraid of heights. Last year He was hoisted on Joseph’s shoulders. Not to be outdone by last year’s placement, in 2010 Baby Jesus is perched high atop the shoulders of our festive flute player.
I wonder if Baby Jesus will ever make it to the manger?
Just a little has changed since I was in high school.
In 1983, my parents knew I was home when they opened my bedroom door to see if I was there.
In 2010, I know when my teenager is home when I’m instantly notified on my iPhone and desktop PC via the Skype application on his iPod the second it comes within 500 feet of our wireless network.
According to this YouTube user, the following is actual video footage from a security company video training course in 1997. The character is a clumsy, nerdy professor who tries every sport from baseball to tennis to fishing — and can’t do anything right during the video until the end when he finally succeeds.
Apparently it was this guy’s acting debut and he retired from acting just days after wrapping 9 training videos and hundreds of hours of filming. This guy better hope no one has more of this video footage!
According to the YouTube description, this shot was supposed to ricochet off the bricks and out of camera view — another failed attempt for the Super Nerd professor. Instead, the ball hit the bricks, popped up and landed right in the cup!
Supposedly, this is actual video footage with no studio tricks except for the music and some styling.
Whoever this goofball is, I hope he never goes into politics. The negtive ads would be brutal!
Yes. That is me.

I’m beginning a “For One Day” list. I would love to see your additions in the comments below.
Remember now, this is just for one day.
FOR ONE DAY…
My endzone view of the Cleveland Browns “Bottlegate” game on December 16, 2001:
Sure, he eats stuff he shouldn’t. But, this certainly proves that Buddy is smarter than your average K9.
He kept ending up in the front yard and we couldn’t figure it out. We finally captured him on video opening the gate!

1. Antacid: “I can feel St. Elmo’s Fire burning in me”
Another great short film from our budding film maker, Collin:
