Stephen Colbert / The Colbert Report embroidery, free pattern designed for fandominstitches.com Summer of Stitching
Stephen Colbert, who is replacing David Letterman on CBS's "The Late Show" in September 2015, was one of a couple dozen spectators for Jonathan Alter's Montclair Film Festival conversation. The Montclair resident was there with his wife, Evelyn, who helped get the festival up and running.
Here's me at the American History Museum posing with the portrait of Stephen Colbert. Sure, it's hanging directly across from the restrooms, but hey it's not like *I* have a portrait hanging in the Smithsonian, so who am I to judge?
Stephen and Evelyn Colbert also chatted with the man of the hour, Jonathan Alter, as well.
As for Mr. Alter, he had a lot to say about politics. He predicted that Christ Christie would be indicted for the George Washington Bridge scandal (I agreed) and he thought that former Maryland governor Martin O'Malley had no chance to be President (I didn't agree).
A little man. Some might even call him a talking head, a cardboard cutout. But Stephen Colbert is deeper than he appears--and I know him. I have this power photo to prove it.
(Check out the notes to get a sense of Colbert's mind. These are the titles in the stacks where I found him.)
At the start of every year my cousin, my brother and I predict 5 things we think will happen throughout the year. My cousin's prediction: Laura will break her wrist!
So I had to go and get myself a wriststrong bracelet as you can see.
The wristrong bracelet helps promote awareness of:
Wrist violence
Wrist related injury
Post-traumatic wrist disorder

Bears don't need answers. This juvenile Black Bear, Ursus amercanus, was quite comical as it moved from berries to bee hives and an occasional peek-a-boo game with me. In bear language, I am told, this means I see you but I don't acknowledge you so we can co-exist without battle. Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park World Heritage Site, Montana

Barlë has had a home at the Detroit Zoo since being rescued from a circus in Puerto Rico. The zoo hired an animal behavior specialist to teach her to be a polar bear after she'd spent 17 years in a cage.
She obviously learned that seals are for eating. In the 5 years she's been at the zoo, she hasn't learned that she can't batter her way through the barrier separating the bear pool and the seal pool. (The seal was evidently unperturbed, and in fact seemed to teasing the bear.)

Here's Stephen looking for me in the crowd. Hey, if the President can live in his own reality, so can I.
At one point during the event, he was talking about how kids these days are coddled. They have wear helmets to ride a bicycle and all that ... he said something similar at Knox College. Sorry I can't remember his every word.
Then he described his childhood ... the youngest of 11 kids and his mom stuffing them all in one car (no seatbelts), chain smoking cigarettes with the windows rolled up tight. He won't need to be embalmed, she hickory smoked him.
Now for the fun part. He talked about kids these days getting time outs. When he was a kid he got spanked. His mom's hand was like a fraternity paddle and she'd hit his buttom until it was all pink and shiny.
This got a big "woohoo" from all us gals. Oh, he said, you think that's sexy.
Um, Stephen, the image of you over bended knee being spanked ... yeah baby that's hot!
I thought about shouting "You can spank me Stephen" ... but that image of him in my head made it impossible to speak.

Normally I would not promote a non-alcoholic product such as this, but it was on Stephen Colbert's "Colbert Report", so it's OK...
Holy crap! Confirmed at #77 in Explore. flickr.com/photos/beer30/1922891044/
FYI, the only pool this was in at the time was Cameratoss.
This bear lives at the somewhat ethically-questionable "Bear Pits" in Cherokee, NC. The bears sit in a big concrete pit and beg for apples and chuncks of stale bread. Some of the them do tricks. This guy smiles.
Albert enjoying a cold one on a hot one. And honestly believing this is gonna be the Cubbies' year. I can't bear to point out the futility. Meanwhile, he believes in the mojo of his personally-autographed Billy Williams cap.
As is obvious, Al Bear also worships at the altar of Jimmy Buffett.
