Where's Wade Answers

Here are the answers to last weeks rousing game of Where's Wade. Most responses I received said they found Wade every time, though the general consensus is that the Punk Rally crowd was the hardest (unless you enlarged it). But just incase you couldn't find Wade hanging with his peeps, here are the answers.

With the Scottish Parliment. Security jumped Wade right after this picture and destroyed his tape.

This one was a toughy. Wade's so naughty.

In the sea of formal black, the jeans at the bottom give Wade away.

I don't think Wade wanted to be in this picture.

Wade got a nasty case of frost bite in his Netherlands.

Flirtin' with the tourist, Wade is such a scalywag!

There is a bonus prize if you can tell me how many birds are flying from this crowd (you may have to refer back to the original).
As I was searching for a place to hide Wade, I found this guy who eerily looked like an older version. See if you agree.

Weekly Wipeout 4

I entitled this week's link Turbulent Tubin'. I found another fun little site called Break.com. A little raunchy at times but loaded with some fun videos if you take the time to search. Unlike Guzer, Break has limited choices on each page.
This week's movie shows an enlarged tube being pulled by a speed boat to the point of flight. Pretty cool. The wipeout comes when the person on the tube drops off. So the brilliant boaters do it again. A great laugh though.

Photoshop Phriday 3: Where's Wade

Welcome to another Phun Philled Pheature entitled Photoshop Phriday.
This week I was inspired by last weeks photo of me with the Great Space Coaster gang. Many people said "Oh, I almost missed you." Therefore I thought up a little game based on Where's Waldo called Where's Wade.

In the game, our friend Wade travels to many different places and hangs out with many different people. Your goal is to find Wade wherever he may be. Sometimes it's easy. Sometimes it's hard. But it is always Phun!

Here is Wade making some laws with the Scottish Parliment. HINT: Lady in red, is standing by me.

Wade on vacation, relaxing at the pool.HINT: Open your eyes!

Wade is going to a sorority formal tonight.HINT: He's got jungle fever.

Some sort of band feild trip finds Wade as a guest.HINT: Look towards the ocean, my sea-faring friends.

Arctic exploration is so much more fun when Wade tags along.HINT: Jeans and snow do not mix.

Tourists flock to the island of Kizhi and Wade follows right along.HINT: Wade is not the Asian woman in the front row.

Wade travels in to the future to Los Angeles for a Punk rally.HINT: Wade faces Future Wade!

Weekly Wipeout 3

This weeks feature is entitled Cubicle Crash. I first saw it in an email sent to Rachelle entitled "She Should Be Working". The file was entitled "MazeCrash", since the poor girl is watching the screen closely and on the screen is a maze. Have a laugh on me!

Yard work begins!

So, as a home owner I now have the unfortunate task of lawn upkeep. This endeavor was made more difficult by the fact that we do not own a lawn mower or weed-whacker. Luckily my future father-in-law was generous enough to let me borrow his lawn mower and other lawn equipment. However, upon examination of the grounds, I noticed we seem to have a poison ivy AND poison oak problem. NOT COOL! I realize that everything has its place in Disney's trademark Circle of Life, but is there really a need for Poison Ivy, Oak and Sumac? Is there any creature that is dependent for existence on these plants? If all of the leafy evils were cast into hell, would the world start to spin off balance and out of control? Would the eradication of this wicked greenery cause the fabric of life as we know to unweave and crumble? I say forgot the cure for the common cold find a way of genetically erasing this blemish from the surface of the world. And don't give me this "the market for anti-itch creams would diminish to the point of pharmaceutical companies going bankrupt." First of all, DUMB! Second of all, only about 15% of the American population is allergic to the damn plants (I found that figure online, go check it out if you don't believe me). Third of all, there are enough other damn skin irritants and hemorrhoid cases to keep anti-itch creams flowing out of CVS like vomit out of a college co-ed on a Thursday night.
+ PLEASE NOTE The images featured here in this blog were harvested from the web and are of Poison Ivy, Poison Oak and Poison Sumac (in that order). They are not pictures that I took of the growth on my property. Although, I could have posted some nasty pics featuring wildly overgrown poisonous foliage.

Photoshop Phriday 2

Hey Kids!
It is time again for some Photoshop Phun! YEAH!
Rachelle asked me to try including myself into some photos instead of becoming a member of the photo, so this week I am mixing it up with some of my friends from the old school shows.

Here I am hanging with the gang from Great Space Coaster!I was really mad at this picture for two reasons. First they told me it was bucket hat day and it obviously wasn't. Second, no one told me a picture was being taken! So I look like the idiot who isn't paying attention. I quit the show right after that appearance.

I tried recording an album with the New Zoo Revue. This is a shot of us singing together promoting the album on the show. No one watched the show, no one bought the album. We still email each other once in awhile but after Henrietta and I broke up it was awkward.

I made a few guest appearances on Diff'rent Strokes, too.I was signed to more appearances as the handyman and this promo picture was shot. However, Mrs. Garrett put her hands done my pants just one too many times and I had to cancel my contract.

New Floors!

Here are some before and after pics of the floors. We hired this great flooring guy to do the whole house and he is amazingly affordable. If you need your floors redone and you live in Western Connecticut I strongly recommend Luis Hardwood Flooring. 203-648-7934. He does landscaping, painting and tons of other handyman things.

Here is the living room.

Here is the dining area.

Here is the hallway.

Here is bedroom 1


Here is bedroom 2


Here is bedroom 3


Here is the patch job that he fixed oh so nicely for us.

Here is a woman with a huge lip plate.
Amazing!

Weekly Wipeout 2

Welcome to this weeks installment of Weekly Wipeout, were I link you to videos of people taking spills and surviving, maybe. I have no confirmation of anyone living post-tumble. As far as I know they are dead. Anyway, this week's video was found at Guzer, one of my favorite video sites, and is entitled Ref Ricochet. In the clip we see a soccer ref catch a kicked ball with his head and drop like a sack of potatoes. I theorize that he wet himself as well. Ch-ch-ch-check it out!

Not Photoshop!

Though you may feel that this is one of my amazing photoshop creations, it's not. This is really Richard Kiel (aka Jaws) crushing my head. Of course being the evil bastard that he is, he aggressively signed it "Hi!" I was shakin' (and not in the Eddie Money way).
+Just in case you can't see the fear in my eyes. Check out this detail.

Photoshop Phriday 1

To make my life a little easier I thought that I would limit my photoshop antics to one day and Friday seemed the logical choice for the day. Mostly for alliteration reason (actually only for alliteration reason). We will call this one #1 even though just last week my Cinco de Mayo Friday Photoshop Fun was techically the first Friday I devoted solely to photoshop. However, I feel the focus was more on the Mexican holiday than on me, even though looking at the pictures may tell another story.
The plan is that each week would have theme and I would do a few photos under that theme. Today's theme, and I think next weeks theme as well (since I only did one photo today. It took awhile to find photos and I had one idea that just wasn't panning out), is Children's Shows.
This week's photo is my version of Sid and Marty Kroft's classic show The Bugaloos.
My version is affectionately called The Wadaloos.God those are some ugly bugs.

Kitchen Renovations

On Sunday, we started renovations on the kitchen of the new home. Though I have no pre-work pics, I do have some post Day 1 and Day 2 shots. This work we are doing ourselves!

The sink area has the exact same chrome trimmed formica counter top (though I can't remember what color) and cabinets I had growing up in PA (except mine were orange, bright orange!)
AND the exact same handles.
Our authentic genuine faux brick wall, which I hate (probably because we had that in my chilhood kitchen as well) and Rachelle "doesn't mind."
This is the kitchen floor at the end of Day 1. We pulled up the vinyl flooring and scrape off the backing paper.
This is the kitchen floor at the end of Day 2 (Monday). Rachelle has laid all the tile, I was in charge of spackle.The original flooring can be seen still on the floor of the dining area at the bottom of the picture.
