Imponderable #99: Dennis Rodman

Heck, why not? Personally, I’m all for it. I say keep North Korea distracted with nut jobs like Rodman. The more distracted North Korea is, the safer the rest of us are. Send Rodman back, then book a flight for the Philly Phanatic and the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders. The politicians will probably send over some package of money and food to placate him, but if all it takes is airfare for some clowns and eye candy, then I’m all for it. I’m calling on the Nobel committee to do Dennis Rodman a solid and give him the award.

Peter Mayhew Is Damn Cool

This is the first of a pair of Star Wars-related posts. Come back tomorrow for Porkins!

When it comes to taking away Peter Mayhew’s cane, let the Wookie win.

I think it is just too cool that Peter Mayhew has a lightsaber cane. If I had one it would be geeky, if an average fanboy had one it would be the ultimate proof of nerd, but in Peter Mayhew’s hands? Perfect. How many actors today don’t embrace the roles that make them famous? Jonathan Frid for many years would not talk about Dark Shadows, and until recently Harrison Ford would clam up whenever the subject turned to Han Solo. So it is fantastic to see a man like Peter Mayhew who not only accepts but embraces the role that made him famous.

Peter Mayhew is totally cool.
