Celebrities' secret identities

Today, I was watching a WPT (World Poker Tour) event on TV and they showed a clip of one of those glamour girls they have at such events and I almost fell out of my chair. To give you a better idea of how startled I was, I wasn't even in a chair at the time! She was a dead ringer for another well-known celebrity.

I jumped to my computer (okay, I walked over really quickly--I didn't want to fall again) to find out who she was. It didn't take long, but few of the images I was looking at resembled her very much and certainly not the celeb she struck me as a perfect match to. Except for this one small image. First, let me first show you one of her more flattering poses that no doubt got her the gig with the WPT.

Here is the lovely Sabina Gadecki:




Does she remind you of anyone? Think for a few moments? Yes? No? It doesn't really matter--you'd be wrong.

Okay, I'll let you in on it. Don't you think she looks exactly like Bill Maher? No, there was no crash of my computer and all my files got mixed up. Bill Maher...couldn't she be his daughter? Yes, this Bill Maher...






Look at her. Look at him. Aren't the identical?

By now, you must be thinking I lost my mind. Let's try it this way--I'll put them side by side and then you can more easily judge if there's any resemblance at all. I'm sure you'll see it, then.


Here they are:



Just like I said--dead ringer, right? No? Are you sure? What about these photos of the same two people?





Is this Bill Maher's long, lost love child? Is it Bill Maher in drag?

Dressage competition

Three weeks prior to this quarter horse competition, Stacy's dad had passed away. She dedicated this performance to him as a tribute to "teaching me to keep trying new things".

Notice that she used no bridle, no reins, no saddle and no stirrups. It is nothing short of remarkable how she managed to stay on the horse, let alone how she elicited precision control from her steed. It's no wonder the championship was hers.

Oh, and let's not forget--a great, big congratulations to Wizard's Baby Doll!





Did I mention that this performance brought tears to my eyes?...in a very manly kind of way, of course.

Is politness dead?

If you've ever heard someone say that Canadians are polite (or even if you haven't), consider the following:

The other day, I stopped for gas. After I paid inside, I opened the door to exit, and right at that moment, I spotted a woman approaching the entrance from the right, so I held the door open for her and gestured for her to enter. At that same moment, another young lady arrived from the left. The lady on the right gestured to the girl on the left to enter. Ms. Left said "Thank-you", Ms. Right said "You're welcome", and as Ms. Left entered, she thanked me and I said "You're very welcome". Then the original woman stepped inside and we repeated the polite exchange. Just as I was about to finally exit, a guy had come to the door. Again, I stood there holding the door, but I guess he had seen me holding the door for the two before him and he said "Thanks--you go ahead". I exited through the door and said "Thanks". He said "You're welcome".

I won't say this scenario can't or doesn't happen elsewhere, but I imagine there's often the odd person who spoils the whole thing by either not holding the door or not saying "Thank-you" or "You're welcome". Anyway, the experience had me smiling for a while, and proud of my community and even my country. Am I too easily impressed?
