Funny Or Die Breaking Bad Videos




In honour of Breaking Bad's series finale on Sunday night, here are some very good Funny Or Die videos. In the one above, actor Dean Norris (who plays Hank) writes the final episode.



This is Jimmy Fallon's take on Breaking Bad. A little long, and a lot of in-jokes, but worth the 12 minutes, especially for the ending.




And while this has nothing to do directly with Breaking Bad, it does feature Aaron Paul, and it is funny.

So farewell Breaking Bad, it's been a terrific 5 years.

Trip Down Vacuum Cleaner Memory Lane


Was in Danny's Vacuum on St. Clair earlier this week, when I spotted this blast from my childhood past - an old Filter Queen canister vacuum.

My mom had one of these, and I remember her telling me that it cost a lot, but it was worth every penny. The people who worked in the vacuum place agreed - it was a great vacuum cleaner.

Cobble Beach Concours 2013




DV Dude took a rare Saturday off, and ventured north to Owen Sound for the first ever Cobble Beach Concours d'Elegance car show. Modeled after the world-famous Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, the Cobble Beach show was held on the Cobble Beach golf course, north of Owen Sound. The weather was absolutely perfect, as DV Dude and about 3500 other people got to gawk at over a hundred classic cars, from the early 1900s to present day.




There were so many beautiful cars, and DV Dude took so many pictures, it is grossly unfair to pick just one car to feature. But if he had to, and if he could only pick one car to "accidently" borrow, it would be this gorgeous 1935 Auburn 851 Phaeton.





For those who love classic cars, DV Dude highly recommends the Cobble Beach Concours, and next year's date will be September 14, 2014.

Things You Don't Expect To See, Part VXII


Seen in our parking lot this morning, this very cool Lotus.




We believe this to be a Lotus Europa S2 from 1968, featuring a 80 hp 1565cc 4 cylinder engine. There were only about 200 of these made for import into North America.




What really caught our attention was how short this car is, and conveniently it was parked next to a Lincoln Navigator for reference. The roof of the Lotus comes up to Sean's waist.
