THE WORLD OF MR. BEAN

     Mr. Bean’s world has many facets. First is a video of the ending to “Mr. Bean’s Holiday” (which video now has an obnoxious ad at the beginning – sorry):

     Then below are Mr. Bean at the library, followed by the swimming pool, Mr. Bean airborne, and, last, the 24-minute Mr. Bean 3:

FLYING WITH KITES

     WHAT PEOPLE CAN DO WITH KITES. Here you see the beauty of the kites and the skill of the man who controls them.

     WHAT KITES CAN DO WITH PEOPLE. Kite buggy jumping, Sydney: it’s the dream we all have about kites: the kite lifts you off your feet and UPPPPP!

     WINDSURFING WITH KITES. Truly amazing. And truly LOUD.

ONLY IN ROMANIA

     Don’t miss this inspiring musical performance showing that Romanians lead the world in ecologically sound uses of automobiles. They should be an inspiration to us Americans, demonstrating what we can and should do if gasoline prices keep going up. A true Romanian automobile, you see, “runs on grass, not gas.”

HAPPY MIND EXPANSION

     I love these offbeat and upbeat surreal paintings and hope you will too. The great thing is that you can sit and meditate over their true meaning – or simply flip through and have a good time.

FORWARD INTO THE MIDDLE AGES

     Always wished you lived in fifteenth century England? I thought so – you look like the sort of person who would. And here’s the place for you: the SOCIETY FOR CREATIVE ANACHRONISM. With it you can hop back and forth between your home and the Middle Ages, while still holding down your regular job. You don’t even have to give up your computer; in fact, you can read all about it on your computer. Check it out at:

     KINGDOM OF ARTEMESIA. If you live in Utah, Montana, or certain parts of Idaho, Colorado, or Wyoming, you have been in the Kingdom of Artemesia since 1988, but perhaps haven’t been enjoying the benefits. In the Kingdom of Artemesia, “the populace holds tournaments, attends feasts, and enjoys the Middle Ages, as ‘they should have been.’”

     Or put Society for Creative Anachronism into your Google search box and have yourself a really good time.
