Quote of the Week- Charlie Chaplin

Today, we honor my late father Mehmet Gokbudak (1921-1983), who would have turned 92 on Jan. 7th, with a quote from one of his favorite movie actors, the comic genius Charlie Chaplin:

"Life is a tragedy when seen close-up, but a comedy in long shot."

Silly Photo to Fill Space- Che Guevara Plush Toy

A few weeks ago, I put the Che Guevara plush toy, which would probably more popular in San Francisco than Provo, Utah, on a mock Christmas gift list. I actually saw the item at a novelty shop in Greensboro, NC, along with similar plush toys for artist Frida Kahlo and scientist Albert Einstein.

Most of the plush toys retail for $16.95, and other figures that The Little Thinkers produce include Jesus Christ, Charlie Chaplin, William Shakespeare and Sigmund Freud.

I did not get the Che Guevara plush toy this year, but next Christmas is just around the corner, right?! Perhaps, there will be a socialist revolution by then (well, it couldn't be any worse than the Tea Party movement!)
