Spacey => Walken => Han Solo

Here's the clip that was mentioned over lunch today:

Proof that Spacey is actually very good at many impersonations (unfortunately, the audio is a bit out of sync on this clip):

I was mentioning this to some friends at lunch. The concept is somewhat novel, but I remember being a bit lukewarm about the idea when I first heard it. It's definitely not rocket surgery to put something like this together. However, the execution is commendable. These guys did a great job of executing very well on a simple idea. Kudos!

Please help those with autism by e-mailing your representative...

I hesitate to "spam" my friends... but:

If (like me) you'd like to have an "Autism Awareness" Utah license plate, please join me by looking up your state representative ( at http://le.utah.gov/GIS/findDistrict.jsp ) and asking them to support house bill #327!

(For some reason causes like "Cutthroat Trout" and "Amateur Radio" and "Snowmobiles" already have special group plates, but it's hard to pass legislation to give people with autism the same status).

Proceeds really help in this year of cutbacks:  ( Details about the bill can be found here: http://www.le.state.ut.us/%7E2010/htmdoc/hbillhtm/HB0327.htm )
