The Nightwatch

Surveillance cameras observe a fox exploring the Tudor and Georgian rooms of the National Portrait Gallery at night.

Every man could relate to him.  But nobody could be him.  To be that extraordinary and that ordinary was a real gift.  That, and his humor and his bare-boned honesty.  When I visited him at home one time, he said the most beautiful, poetic grace.  He said, “Shall we bow our heads?”  We all bowed our heads.  Then, when he was done, he looked at me and said, “Sure miss the drugs, though.”  It was just to say, “I haven’t become a holy Joe.”  He just couldn’t be self-righteous.  I think he was a very godly man, but you had the sense that he had spent his time in the desert.  And that just made you like him more.  It gave his songs some dust. And that voice was definitely locusts and honey.  As for “Hurt,” it’s perhaps the best video ever made.  I was telling somebody the other day, “We’re all sissies in comparison to Johnny Cash.”  And he was a zookeeper, too.  Did you know he was nearly killed by an emu on his property?  He told em, “That emu damn near killed me.  I defended myself with a post.”  But he was laughing as he told the story.  So Johnny Cash passed away after seeing off the love of his life. That’s such a different outcome than death by emu.  We should be grateful.  —Bono

mattybing1025: Clint Eastwood’s Life Achievement Award acceptance speech at the 2002 SAG Awards: Sit down. This is heavy. Where’s Schwarzenegger when you need him?  Anyway, thank you very much for the wonderful, warm reception, and I hope this doesn’t mean that I’m supposed to collect my pension and head on down the road. That’s — ‘cause that ain’t in the game for me.  I got in the Screen Actors Guild back in the early ‘50s. And Walter Pidgeon was the president then, Melissa, so times are — I remember calling parents and saying that I’m in the same union with Walter Pidgeon, Cagney and Cooper and Barbara Stanwyk and Bette Davis — all these fabulous people that I grew up with. And I thought I was — I thought I was hot stuff, until I started knocking on doors and getting the turndowns. So I appreciate everything that all of you have had to go through at some time in your life. To be a success in the screen trade, I think you’ve got to — you’ve got to either have a lot talent and a little bit of ability or lot of ability, a little bit of talent. Some of — I look at some of those clips and I’m kind of thinking, Damn, you’re lucky! So … and especially that singing in there, I don’t know .  I’m sure Clark Gable’s rolling over, too, thinking … But I just want to say that being a member of the Screen Actors Guild for coming up on 50 years has been a great pleasure for me. I think about it, it’s two-thirds of your life you’ve spent in one guild — that’s fantastic. And I’ve enjoyed meeting all the people over the years, and I’ve certainly enjoyed knowing all of you — most of you. And of those I don’t know, I’ll get to know later.  But we’ll all work together because I have no intention of bailing out.  So… talk to you later. Thank you.

This Blood Lamp doesn’t look that bloody, but the way you turn it on can be considered gruesome. It only works once, and you need to add of a drop of your blood to activate it! The idea is to stop and think about how badly you need light before you use it. Designer Mike Thompson created the lamp in order to draw attention to how much energy we waste.
