Please Help Me


For the purpose of telling him to go away, I'm going to try and keep President Bush in my sidebar for as long as I can stomach it (yes, you are correct, it makes absolutely no sense).

I'm getting sick of seeing that same picture, so I welcome anyone who wants to doctor it.

If you wish to provide me with a picture, please adhere to a few simple rules:

1) Use the pic above as the starting point for your picture.
2) Don't change the dimensions or size of the original pic - it has to fit in my sidebar.
3) Don't obscure the yellow lettering (I don't want people thinking I support the man, for crissakes).

There are some bloggers out there who are also sporting "Go Away, Bush " sidebar items, and I'm sure they would appreciate your contributions just as much as I.

I actually have a couple doctored pics ready to go, but it won't be enough to last me through the remainder of the Bush presidency.

America needs YOUR HELP.

Thank you, and God Bless The Blogosphere.

UPDATE:

p0nk has contributed two pictures to the Bush sidebar cause!

I'm especially enamored of this one, referencing one of my favorite mugshots from The Smoking Gun.



Falwless has made some solid contributions as well.


Some Guy has given the world this unholy union:



Blaniage (my brother) has provided several wonderful pics, including this very disturbing one (Bush without pancake makeup!):



Another unholy union! This time Cheney and Condi get some face time, thanks to DGuzman:



Tim has joined the fray:



As has Jess!


Ed has joined the "Go Away, Bush" Army!


Manx has provided some "Go Away, Bush" goodness:


Blaniage has provided several more wonderful pics, including a mashup of my adopted actor's breakout role from The Warriors (this explains Bush's foreign policy quite well, I think):


Germaine Gregarious has given us someone I can tumble for -- Boy George Bush!


Beckeye submitted this well-crafted addition:


Another stellar contribution from Germaine Gregarious:


Gifted Typist has found this exciting new species:



More goodness from Beckeye:


One final pic from my brother::


Thank you Beckeye for Cletus Bush!



You may or may not have noticed, but I'm updating the bottom of the Go Away, Bush page with any contributions I get.

Spoiler Alert!

Sorry, false alarm.

Classic Splotchy: Pumping Fuel Slower For Your Contentment


Hi folks, the exquisitely high price of gas has inspired me to revisit a post of yore. I'd like to once again call your attention to the gas-pumping "experience".

With more money for less gas, I'm only more convinced of my theory of the oil industry's human behavioral experiment that is performed on unwitting drivers every day.

The Nicest Blogger Dealer In Vegas

I feel bad for the blogosphere busting out last hand.

Here's another chance.

You tell the dealer (me) to hit or stick.

If you win, I'll give you a 60 second doodle.


Dealer:



Your Hand:


YOU WIN!!!

Please suggest a doodle idea to be doodled (I'm taking multiple suggestions folks)!


UPDATE!

For Jess: Macaroni and cheese on a stick!


For Freida Bee: Spaghetti coming out of John McCain's ears, with sauce on top.

I hope you don't mind, I added some meatballs with the sauce.

I Kid You Not, This Is One Of My Favorite Songs

If I ever obtain the power of unassisted flight (and I might just pull that feat off, just watch me), this is the song I'll be listening to while I go soaring over the streets, trees and mountains.

Blackjack Hand For A Doodle

Okay, here's the deal.

You tell the dealer (me) to hit or stick. First person who comments and says either "HIT" or "STICK" gets to play this hand.

If you win, I'll give you a 60 second doodle.


Dealer:


Your Hand (updated):


========================

The Cap'n has fallen asleep at the table. But GKL, Freida B and Matty Boy all say HIT, so's I hit ya again.

Your move?

========================

Oh, you BUSTED. I am sorry!

Bo Diddley Is Dead



He will be missed. He was one of the best. He still is one of the best.

You can check out one of his songs in my contribution to The Under 3 Green Monkey Mix.

I'd strongly recommend you check out the wonderful collection The Chess Box for a broader picture of his wonderful songwriting, guitar-playing and singing.

The Bo Diddley beat lives on!
