I was looking through my photo files this afternoon rather than do laundry, dishes, editing or other work, because those tasks would be productive and useful and no one wants me doing anything productive or useful (yes, I took a poll), and I found a few that just miiiiiight be worth posting here.
But instead, you get THESE photos.
Let's just get it out of the way: Laela Arcus, my usual traveling companion, had the nerve to take a road trip without me! And this is what I got from her journey --
Hrmph.
Some of you know Master Ian B. ... well here's how he looked when he tried on my "Tim The Enchanter" hat (from Monty Python & The Holy Grail) a few years ago. (That's Buster on the right. He just hangs around.)
Â
Wireless may be the wave of the future, but, um, not where I work. This is what you get when nine PCs, a photocopier, a laser printer and six dot matrix printers all cuddle together.

Remember my friend the bear from a post last summah? He's been in my apartment all this time but I finally found him a better home in a school library. He came back to visit us on his way there, and stopped to help catalog some DVDs.
Nice guy.
Speaking of libraries, a few years ago a friend helped me come up with a new twist on the ALA Read poster concept. Note: I do know this is tacky.
Â
Quick, look at this page from my mom's phone book to distract yourself.
Â
The Halloween party I went to this year allowed me to 'meet' the leg lamp from A Christmas Story. How cool is that?
Â
It also proved that even evil creatures from movies "need" to check their text messages every now and then.
Â
I saw this truck recently and thought it had a pretty interesting assortment of dashboard accoutrements. I particularly like that sticker on the right.
Â
A finally, a good hair day.
Â
Dang. Now I might have to do the laundry.

I threatened to order my son a replica of the Christmas Story lamp but his wife vehemently objected. He overrides her objections routinely, me--not so much.
The guy in the lamp costume was one of the hosts, and his partner had the bunny feel costume. :-)
(You didn't mean to leave fuuuuuuuuuuuudge... off your list, did you?)
Fudge makes me think of an overheard exchange between a married couple as they exited a souvenir shop. He mumbled something about fudge (I think he was asking why she hadn't bought any) and she said impatiently, "Oh fudge fudge fudge! Fudgie fudgie fudge!"
I laughed out loud at Old Tracy Road. MY friends would have stolen the sign for me.
The photo of Master Ian is more than "a few" years ago!
Library photos are interesting. Those wires are a MESS! I'd be back there tying those puppies up. Then when someone wanted to move something, they'd be cussing me out. Having a bear file DVD's! What a great idea! Does he do windows? [I nearly typed "widows" which would have given that sentence a whole 'nother meaning!]
The READ poster was funny. He sure does look wired.
That guy in the lamp leg (or is it leg lamp?) costume has WAY better-looking legs than I do. Not fair.
I love that "my give a damn's busted" sticker. I love that song. I need to take that song and make it my personal soundtrack. I'll have to catch you up on the "my friend Chris" story sometime. It's way better than daytime soap operas.
That sure is a cute chick on the desk! Maybe I should die my hair bright pink.
The funny thing about those wires is that you really don't see them until you're standing right where I was standing. There are PCs at the 'head' and 'foot' of the bank which help to conceal the chaos. Our IT dept. does wire management in the public areas but it's not so important where we are.
That was a guy -- and he has fabulous legs. Those were five-inch heels, too!
I didn't know the MGADIB was a song! Just thought it was a funny expression, like when a coworker said "let me just scratch that off my 'who cares' list."
If you dye your hair pink... DO post a pic along with the Halloween pix. :-)
And you're welcome. (Thanks!)
You should indeed use the image on Facebook -- or I can email you the real deal if you want.
Boo Laela! ;-)
Thank you posting to the Triple Name Club.
And no no, thank you!
Cheers to you, Elsie!
Fabulous just fabulous.
Wires and wired all sharing space
On old Tracy Road.
You spend too much time cleaning up stuff. Do what I do. Shirt gets dirty, get a new shirt. Paper plates.
But my real complaint (yes I intend to file in triplicate, with the proper authorities, once they admit who they are), is that none of the above photos is allegedly of you. (Unless that was you texting). NO FAIR, I say.
And you have seen a photo of me already!

2... Did he bring his killer rabbit?
3... With the money you'd make by just selling the copper in all those wires, you could probably get yourself a half a dozen Macs with as many wireless printers... wifi included.
4... I don't think that I'd be able to bear that job.
5... I'm more of a Gary Busey fan.
6... There's a Belgian Waffle and Pancake House on Campbell Ave... And another one on 76?!!!
7.... He looks like a major award!
8 ... must be the bean dip.
9... Awww... he should have got the extended warranty.
!0... it's either a rasta-duckling or an octopoid standing on its head...
Fun post, my friend!
