Doodling For Fun And Profit

I have been neglectful of this blog, or at least have been feeling neglectful.

SamuraiFrog seems to be ripping through the entertaining and informative posts as of late, so perhaps he has stolen my imagination and/or reasoning abilities. Give me back my imagination and/or reasoning abilities, you cad.

Anyways, if anyone wants a free 60 second doodle, first commenter with a doodle idea gets one. Yes, even if the first commenter is that brain thief, SamuraiFrog.

UPDATE:

Phew, that was one quickly requested doodle idea!

For Randal Graves: Sarah Palin throwing McCain off the bow of the Titanic.

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.

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!

Lake Alley / Miasma Row Update

So, after a very rough day at work on Friday (04/18), I finally pull into our alley at around 7:45pm.

I was surprised by a couple things. One, virtually all the water witnessed in the alley photo of Monday (04/14) had evaporated.

Two, the friendly elves of Brookfield had filled in one of the larger crevasses of the alley with some gravel.

Everything’s coming up Splotchy!

Oh, before I forget, let me present the doodle for the other winner of the Name That Alley contest.

For Bubs: Bubs pulling a big-ass catfish out of the water.

Name That Alley Contest

This is my stupid alley. Note the slight accumulation of standing water. This amount of water will probably take a good week or two to fully evaporate.

It’s a crap shoot in the suburbs of Chicago if you have alleys behind your house. Brookfield does, while its neighboring suburb LaGrange Park does not.

Our alley is mud with a thin veneer of gravel that remains in place for about a week. Attempts are occasionally made to level out the alley, but this also lasts for about a week.

It’s possible to get one’s alley paved with some kind of futuristic compound called “concrete”, provided the cost be borne by the homeowners whose properties are contiguous with the alley.

You can read all about the ins and outs of Brookfield concrete alleyway requests in a Word document linked to on a helpful FAQ page!

While I go about gathering signatures for an “Alley Paving Petition”, please help me assign this alley a name worthy of its suckiness.

Whoever suggests the name I end up using will have the opportunity to provide a doodle idea, which I will doodle for them at no cost.

UPDATE:

Something just occurred to me. I think I am also going to make up a street sign (or as close to a street sign as I can manage) with the winning name, and I am going to place this street sign on the telephone pole in the alley next to my garage, where it will be seen by all other people who have to use this stupid alley.

While I like a lot of the names suggested already, please keep in mind that people seeing the sign should be aware that the name of the alley is expressing how sucky the alley is.

SECOND UPDATE:

I have chosen two winners: Miasma Row and Lake Alley. Miasma Row, because it says how I feel. Lake Alley, because I think that would be the most appropriate sign for me to hammer onto a telephone pole, before the Brookfield authorities inevitably make me take it down.

Bubs and DGuzman, please feel free to suggest a doodle idea, and I will happily doodle one for you!

DOODLE UPDATE:

For DGuzman: The entire BushCo gang falling into the lake in Lake Alley.
