Putin will destroy you.

 Russian President Vladimir V. Putin.

If you look at this photograph long enough Russian President Vladimir V. Putin will control your mind.  And for those of you wondering, yes, the V. in his name does indeed stand for Victory.

Putin is a little upset that we seem to be messing with his election system more than we should.  He’s probably right but do we really have any choice.  If you were to envision the perfect ‘bad guy’ Putin would be it.  He controls one of the largest countries on the planet.  He has a nuclear arsenal at his disposal.  And he knows Judo.

Char Bar (Holiday Weekend).

Like many of the people in the photographs below I traveled to Columbus this past week for Thanksgiving. On Friday night a bunch of us got together once again at Char Bar for a couple drinks and a discussion about my wardrobe. I managed to leave my camera in Chicago due to our last minute departure but with a little luck and some game time decisions I manged to acquire a camera.

A Polaroid camera.

Granted the images aren’t great and the film is expensive but I think the camera served it’s purpose.

Giants Stadium: Steelers – Jets.

I got to see the Steelers play the Jets at Giant Stadium on Sunday for only my second NFL game. The tailgating was pretty awesome, the weather was pretty cold, and Steelers offense was pretty bad. Jim Wallis managed to get us hooked up with Sports Vacations who arranged a bus from the hotel the Steelers were staying at to the stadium. We managed to run into Chris Hoke in the elevator (I asked him where the ATM was), see Dick LeBeau in the lobby, and watch Hines Ward get off the elevator on the wrong floor.
