Excuses, excuses.

This blog post is merely an attempt to see if I can figure out if cutting and pasting html code is worth the effort of posting a blog with multiple pix. I'm lazy by nature, but I like to add visuals, so I'm facing a quandry, unless I'm mistaken in the definition of "quandry."
First, the cast and crew of the (hopefully) upcoming motion picture, On a Dark and Stormy Night-



Juan Reidinger (far left) is the star of this film and I think his performance will put this film on the map, thus exposing to the world how great the rest of us are.


This is Beeker. He was a muppet. Well, technically he still is a muppet. What is a muppet? Well, according to philosopher Homer Simpson, "a muppet is not quite mop, and not quite a puppet." Put that in your pipe and smoke it. Beeker was lab assistant to Professor Bunson Honeydew, a less memorable muppet, but he did have a PhD. Whether or not he earned it, or if it was an honorary doctorate bestowed by Jim Henson is unclear.


This is scotch. Scotch of the Glenfiddich single malt variety, to be specific. Me likey, long time. Not every bar carries it, and the ones that do charge a lot for it. But it goes down reeeeeel smooth, and is great precursor to pitchers and pitchers of beer. It's as strong as tequila, easier going down than whiskey, but is much, much more forgiving. Well worth the price.


This is porn star Jessica Drake. Read her necklace. It is correct.


The script specifically said my character does not push Adrian Quihuis into the pool. I suppressed the urge to show off my improvisational skills although in hindsight, I shoulda done it. It would have been a funny story to tell.


This is Mack. She lives in a hole between a coffee maker and a Frappucinno sure-shot dispenser. Her best friend and neighbor is a bottle of whipped cream. Mack is also an artist.

She wrote her name and drew a peace sign in chocolate sauce one day. Although I saw it as a sign of artistic skill, other people found it disturbing.
I'm told that the shock therapy is working nicely.

I think that's enough for one session. C-ya in the funny papers.

Good work!

Out of curiosity, did you resize those images to "medium" or "large"?

Well, I used a different size setting for each pic, depending on the size of the original jpeg. For example, the Glenfiddich original was huge, so I used the smallest setting. They were all guesswork and it worked out OK for the most part. I overdid it with the 2 pix for the "Mack" bit, but considering the unlikeliness of Mack reading my blog, I didn't feel the need to change it. I got the gist of the process though. I may just coin the term, "Virtual Eyeballing."
