Paul Ricoeur

Paul Ricoeur (died May 2005 @ age 92) was a French philosopher.  Follow the link on his name if you're interested in his backstory and/or bibliography, I'm not sure that there's a good way to summarize it here.

But, I did manage to find one video with subtitles.  Otherwise I would have just posted a video in French that wouldn't have meant anything to us.

Try to watch more than a couple minutes of that.  I dare you.

Breaking News

I just learned that today, Feb 11, is the 10 year anniversary of the very popular Rick James sketch on Chappelle's Show.

Ricochet

Ricochet is a country band from Oklahoma.  Founded in 1993, they signed with Columbia Records in 1995 and had a #1 country hit in 1996 with "Daddy's Money."   Here's their website.   

I'm not going to beat around the bush here; since they're a country band, I've never listened to any of their music aside from that #1 song while I was finding the link to put on this post. And I really have no intention of listening to any more than that, so I can't say if they are "good."  But maybe someone here is a country fan? (/shrug)

Richard Belding

Mr. Richard Belding (played by Dennis Haskins) was the principal of Bayside High in the popular TV series Saved by the Bell.  Those kids sure had some fun times and wacky adventures, and Zack Morris really tricked Mr. Belding good.

He loved to ask the students "What is going on here?"
