Facebook Friday - Mark Brown

Here’s the first (and possibly the last) installment of Facebook Friday. A collection of things from Facebook this week that made me laugh or smile.

First up: Benedict Cumberbatch takes the Ice Bucket Challenge. He gets it not once, not twice, but five times.

The Holderness Family Baby Got Class

You may remember the Holderness family from their viral video last year Christmas Jammies. Now the family is celebrating the beginning of the school year with the video Baby Got Class.

Dog Shaming

I love this one: Dog Shaming. Dogs who have misbehaved and then forced to be shamed publicly.

Jane Lui sings the Edith Piaf classic La Vie en Rose

My dear friend Jane Lui is both a wonderful person and an incredible musician. Here she sings a beautiful cover of the Edith Piaf classic La Vie en Rose.

Battle of the Love Log Statues

My friend Minita posted this picture from the aptly named Lovefield Airport.

Not to be outdone, I countered with this picture from the Princeton University campus.

The led my friend Jim to post this picture from the (again, aptly named) City of Brotherly Love.

Childish I know.

Baby Pears

Some Chinese farms are growing pears in the shapes of babies. What!? Also referred to as Buddha Pears, they’re being sold in supermarkets. I can understand sinking your teeth into a Cheek Pear but who the hell wants to chomp into a baby? Thanks to my friend Michael.
