Christopher Walken Roasts a Chicken and Pears

Over at the cooking video website Im Cooked, there’s a great video of none other that Christopher Walken showing his technique for roasting a whole chicken with some pears. Somebody get this man a show on the Food Network!

Screencap from the “Walken roasting chicken” video.
Click the picture to see the video.

One thing I love about the video: after seeing so many celebrity kitchens on shows like MTV Cribs, it’s nice to see a celebrity doing some actual cooking in kitchen that looks rather ordinary.

Bonus Walken

If that video isn’t enough Walken for you, click on the picture below to see a mind-bending animation of Chris Walken in space. If you’re susceptible to epileptic seizures, you might not want to watch this animation — there’s a fair bit of flashing…

But More Immediately, You Need Pants

Judging from the background and what’s happening in the photo, my guess is that it was taken in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. When I lived there I spent at least some portion of every weekend biking through the park.

If you really must see the whole, unbowlderized version — perhaps you have a jonesing for an image of old guy cottage cheese butt — just click the photo. Don’t say I din’t warn you.

Now I Know What the “Vaccuming the Kitty” Photo is All About

If you like checking out sites that feature interesting or humourous pictures, chances are you’ve stumbled across this photo:

I’ve always wondered what was going in the photo — often captioned in LOLcat-ese with something like “TIEM TO VACUME TEH KITTYNUTS” — and who took it. I had no idea that it was an award-winning photo:

La Shinda Clark, photographer at The Philadelphia Inquirer and 1995 Scholar, won third place for feature photos in the National Press Photographers Association 2003 Best of Photojournalism contest. In the photo, volunteer Cameron Tarzwell, 13, cleans loose hair that has been shaved from an anesthetized cat, Princess, in preparation for an operation. Tarzwell has been assisting a veterinarian for four years. The photo was one in a picture story on a spaying and neutering program in Chester County in Pennsylvania.

LOLCat Bible

It was bound to happen: having been translated into just about every living human language, it’s time to translate it into LOLcat-speak:
