A Magic Freak!

The benefits of having a 14 year old bend you're ear, is that they know the secrets to finding all the great video obscurities!

Like the magician, who impales himself on a fence in front of innocent children and makes them cry:


Or spends his spring break walking on water:


Wow!

He-Man does 4 non-blondes

This has been out for a couple of years, but it's always worth reposting.

Filoli Home and Gardens

Located thirty miles south of San Francisco on the eastern slope of the Coast Range, the 654-acre Filoli estate contains as its central portion a historic house and sixteen acres of formal garden. The house was occupied from 1917 to 1936 as a private residence for its original owners, William Bowers Bourn II and his wife, Agnes Moody Bourn. In 1937 the property was sold to Mr. and Mrs. William P. Roth, who continued to maintain and enrich the estate. Mrs. Roth donated Filoli to the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 1975.
