you probably have to be a regular reader of Pearls [before Swine] and an appreciator of the croc and 'Zeeba' dynamic to appreciate this one... but if you are then you will dig it - snuck into my inbox while i was in South Africa...

so by now you have heard of the #neknomination phenomenon sweeping the world [this week at least] apparently [and i say that because i haven't actually seen any of the original versioned clips] it started out as a drinking challenge video clip game where someone downs a beer and then challenges his/her mates to up the ante and passes it forward so stupid that two people in Ireland died from participating [this never happened with [...]
Another week, another photo challenge and this time to find the right picture or pictures to capture the idea of fleeting. I could not look past our wedding pics for this, both because I think they really do capture the idea of a moment caught in time, but also give the idea of this thing will move on and this moment will pass.

Sometimes in the present context of the life in which i live, there are moments where i need to just be incredibly silly for a few minutes just to remain sane.

Braaaaaaaaaains... You do not have to be a big zombie fan to appreciate the delightful Popcap 'Plants vs Zombies' tower defence game which is one of the most fun and addictive games i have ever played. To be absolutely honest it was one of the activities both the beautiful Val [tbV] and myself spent a huge amount of time on our honeymoon doing together and gave us immense times of laughter and appreciation and moment [...]
Earlier this week a tornado swept through Oklahama, killing a number of people and leaving a mass of devastation in its wake. Within a couple of hours of the disaster, well-known speaker and author John Piper tweeted this verse: “Your sons and daughters were eating and a great wind struck the house, and it fell upon them, and they are dead.” Job 1:19 There was a huge uproar about it. How could this public figure [...]
another great wordpress photo challenge theme and so many different places where i could take this from but i decided this time to rather focus on one area - that of improv and my time with TheatreSports, now called Improguise, in South Africa who i got to spend about 11 years with making stuff up with and really just one of the most amazing opportunities and things to be a part of... like 'Whose Line [...]
so i started a hashtag today which i think could go viral if you all played along... the hashtag is #waystomakeatrexsad which if you can't read it says, 'Ways to Make a T-Rex sad' and plays off the idea that a T-Rex has short arms and so might struggle with certain activities. tell your friends. add me as @brettfisha if you haven't yet and lets get depressing that beast. some examples so far would be: [...]
