Jailbait

Phew!  I survived. ;)  Va-va took the test and is sadly going to jail as she is a moderate Jailbait lover.  Tut-tut!

One hand in the cookie jar... Update #2

For those that have been enjoying this saga, here are the latest developments in screen grabs.  The first is a mail he sent me trying to b/s his way through everything.  Keyword: ---> 'drew' <---

The second grab is when he tried to publicly make a call that it was his own when, in actual fact, we'd proved otherwise.  He has since sent an email to Hayley *retracting* everything he has said thus far *except* he still maintains it is his own original work AND ideas... even his own image/icon which you can see him talking about in the email here!  Did we or did we not just make his own image up from a web site?  Holy moses!

Enjoy the saga finale!

One hand in the cookie jar... Update #1

A little update in the form of a screen grab [click image to enlarge] so that you can see exactly where we are making progress on exposing this cheeky little monkey.  'Dreamer Aaron' has yet to comment...

Ooooh, now here is a treat!

In a tribute to the graphic designer jerk who was trying to use his artist skills plagiarism to impress our friend Hayley (see post below), Va-va decided to rip off Yahoo draw some faces with markers of all our friends online and off.

So far we have: La-la, Silk, The Wizard, Jeff, Sadie, Chrissy, Amelie, CK, Laura, Wes, Hailey, Mandy, Patrick and Hayley as well as Va-va, her brothers and moi!  To take a look you click the button* marked 'Meet the Cast' in the top left corner of this blog.  Don't forget to comment on that page and pay your thanks to keep the pregnant Miss Voom happy!  Heh!

* The artwork for the button took me 3 hours to create.  Honest. ;)

One hand in the cookie jar...

It's a royal pain in the ass when you find people on the Internet who are a bunch of crappy liars and give those that use the 'net in an honest way a bad name.  Today, whilst Va-va was trying to rid herself of her cold and I was busy trying to resist the same symptoms which began to attack me, we were able to 'bust' someone as we literally caught them with their hand in the cookie jar!  Sweet!  A special thanks to our friend, Hayley, who was able to help lure this schmoozer! :)

The gentleman scoundrel is something of a graphic designer (I use that term loosely as it seems clear that anyone with Photoshop is allowed to give themselves that very title) and ended up creating a cartoon image for a friend of mine who he fancied lusted after when he stumbled across her web site.  He told her created this image [left] and it took him 3 hours.  Yes, that is right... 3 hours.  I decided to email him and ask him how long it took to make it and 'raved' about how good he was.  Again, he remained consistent to the story that it took him 3 hours.

I then asked him how long it took for him to do his own cartoon avatar [right] and he replied that 3 hours was usually what it would take to produce something in the toonish style.  I told him it was very impressive and asked if he could give me some tips (harr harr) because I just don't know where to start.  I also asked where he got his inspiration from.  He replied that he saw some similar art when browsing the Internet and it just inspired him.  Well, he apparently has not even got an ounce of  demiurgic gifting inside him.  And he lies pretty badly.  I asked him where he came up with the idea of using the 3d glasses and he replied, "well I have this 3D astronomy book which I found in a bookstore just before I drew that."

The key words here is that he 'drew' those glasses.  Now... this whole image took him, him claims, 3 hours.

Ladies and gents, I would now like to point you to Evidence A: DookyWeb. From this little site you yourselves can create you own avatar instantly.  Here is Va-va's creation of a certain bullshitting graphic designer who wants to get into the pants of a friend of mine...

Oh would you look at that... 3D glasses included!  My gosh!  And to build up this picture it took Va-va all of 32 seconds.  Impressive. To create Hayley (note for regular blog readers: not Hailey) he claimed it would also take about 3 hours... as an experienced graphic designer which he allegedly is, we are all supposed to bow and go 'ooooh' before kissing his feet.

Please note, after saving the image to Photoshop all he did was tilt the eyes, paste out part of the 'X' on the ears, alter the hair and paint out the braces (badly) on the teeth.  If you look closely at the avatar of Hayley you can even SEE where his CRAP coloring in of white to remove the braces happened.  Flippin' heck!  Even my son can color better than that and he isn't even born yet!

I shall leave you with the image that I placed over a screen grab where he commented to Hayley that he took 3 hours to produce this piece of 'art' which he simply stole.  The image is of 'me' and took me 3 hours minutes to make:

Excuse me while I'm smug...

Pround and Smug levels just went through the roof people.

I also almost cried. Just kidding. But not really.

Registries!

For those that have already searched and discovered you will have found the fact that we had registries for Puffy Jr at both Target and Babies R Us.  For those that took a step further and noticed that the registries contained a lot of pink items as well as blue, let us just put your minds at rest that we made the registries before we discovered his gender.  Today Va-va and I spent the afternoon updating and organizing the Target registry (we were able to successfully solved the BRU registry online) in store.  This meant that Daddy-to-be got to run around the store (yet again) with the scanner gun shooting things.  Things being, sadly, only bar-codes and not aliens on a mission to take over the planet.

For those that want to know and/or are interested in looking/gifting to Puffy Jr then click on the links below and have fun shop-shop-shopping for baby stuff off our lists!  :)

Political Stance? My Ass!

OK, this was indeed a shocker because as an Irishman I hold no political stance other than who can hold their drink longest... but according to this I do have one... take it with a pinch of salt (lest you think I am really a Red Russian Darth Vaderesque!) or tremble with fear - the choice is yours!
