Poor Bob.
He probably doesn’t mind at all, but he’s gone from a surfer dude, to being a competition ringer at the first Fest and thereby a momentary Sportsmart employee, thence to a OGS employee, to a house-sitter, to a flunky for an egomaniac with a budget… while being a house-sitter again. It can’t be a calming turn of fortune. Fortunately, Bob supplies his own calm. ‘Til he’s crushed under a kid flyin’ around on a skateboard.
Bob’s my hero.
I guess I can see where Dusty wouldn’t want to extend the conversation about the cassowary any farther than it absolutely has to go.
And I can see where Durnell wouldn’t mind one way or the other if anyone sees this video and wants to talk to Dusty about injury complaints, animal abuse accusations, endangerment and public safety concerns…
Looking back, though… that poor minister who had the busload of kids sure came away from a stressful weekend with a lot of stories, didn’t he?
Ever since Hollywood discovered that you can apparently fix anything onscreen with a computer, they have.
And now, according to the commercials, our phones will shoot and edit movies of Hollywood quality.
So, surely a crowd of folks cheering the Outdoor Galore Store is a fine start to an advertisement for Enis’s Good Sporting’s OutdoorsFest, right?
Sure it is.
What could go wrong with sticking your camera phone in strangers’ faces, getting video of them, then running away?
What could go wrong with using those videos without permission to advertise an outdoors festival they’ve never attended?
What could go wrong with hosting an outdoor festival with minimal preparation, bad intentions, and a lack of leadership?
Write all those things down, ’cause those are PREDICTIONS!
We all know that the spontaneous games are just as good- sometimes more spectacular- than the regularly scheduled programming. Except for that bowling ball ping pong thing that Them Duke Boys tried to get started. That was just a bad idea. I’m sure that the ambulance will be back soon enough though, and that little guy’s hand will eventually be just fine. Dunno about his foot. That looked bad.
By the way- it’s my birthday today! All you ‘Mericans grill something meaty over the weekend in celebration. Wave flags and have some watermelon, for heaven’s sake. Also, where it will not cause injury or loss of property, and where it is entirely and clearly legal to do so, please shoot off a colorful and attractive firework. I’ll take it as a compliment for my latest circuit around the sun.
If you got someone like Kelly around, by all means, let him do the structural thinking. Just don’t be surprised when he either takes over, or leaves for greener pastures and you can’t do without him. That kinda thing happens, you know, Dusty!
But like any advice, you can find a circumstance that recommends the opposite good advice to whatever good advice you have otherwise. “Two Heads Are Better Than One” leaps to mind, here.
Durnell might need another head to help his out, don’t you think?
Whose head do you suppose he should look for?
I got word today that my new stickers are about to ship. They’re less Hubrissy than previous stickers, but I reckon that all Patrons of Hubris wouldn’t mind a sticker or two along with their new thank-you packets.
I should apologize- I’m not very good yet at posting updates to Patrons. But a few time-eating projects have been dealt with, so I’ll get my act together. Thanks!
Oh, those naughty videos… Lowell doesn’t seem like the sort of person to buy bootleg copies of Xanadu (the unexpurgated version) or Voluptuous Vixens of Venus part IV in 3D. Not the one with Shatner. The original.
Does he?
I gotta get some more outdoorsy stuff for you guys to look at. And it’s in the plan, but I feel guilty when I have to draw people indoors for so long.
I won’t say that golf is totally counter-intuitive… But there’s an awful lot of stuff to learn if you want to play, and not all of it makes sense on the surface.
Really, even the concept is a little tricky. “Get the ball into that little hole, dozens of yards away? Why don’t I just plunk the first six or seven into that handy lake? That’s what they seem to want to do anyhow.”
