What a great idea by MamaM. A Men of Trooper York Calendar Project to help raise the $20,000 for our cruise in Italy!
Each of youse guys can have a month. You don't even have to show your face!
Ricpic volunteered to be Mister July with this photo in his swimming attire. He is a little shy so we won't show his face. But who wouldn't want to look at that all July long!
Ricpic Mr. July!
Wait, so ricpic is a Hasidim?
ReplyDeleteLet me understand how this works. You want us to pay you a certain amount of money to keep pictures of our pale, droopy, poorly toned, hairy bodies off of your calendar?
ReplyDeleteOkay. I'm in.
Who's going to win tonight, Cards or Dodgers?
ReplyDeleteUse that over there ---->
ReplyDeleteif you're looking for an extreme close-up.
But I suggest we take a few dollars out of the money raised to buy Crack a hanky.
ReplyDeleteHere's my contribution, swimsuit edition even: link
ReplyDeleteThat photo was taken by my son in Hawaii.
I'm not very keen on helping you raise $20k to go to Italy. It's not because I'm envious--I've done Italy a couple times and better than money could buy at this late stage in life.
I just want to go back to Hawaii.
Wait a minute, is this the rollout of CruiseCare, the part of the - ha ha - Affordable Care Act that was in there but Pelosi didn't know it was in there before she voted for it?
ReplyDeleteI quit the Hasidim, Meth. It was either give up the red sauce pasta or give up the peyos (swinging sideburns). No contest.
Hell, I will gladly buy Crack a whole array of hankies. And some smelling salts.
ReplyDeleteDon't say I don't care about the poor darkies.
Bankrupt Detroit had a power failure during the game. WTF!
ReplyDeleteAw. Poor Darcy.
ReplyDeleteAw. Poor Darcy.
ReplyDeleteShe'll be OK. She's probably snuggling with Tiggy.
I wish she'd pay us a visit once and a while though.
Just remember, Chickie, a couple of days ago Troop let it slip that Crack's closest friends call him Tigger.
ReplyDeleteSo...you know.
There had better not be any portal selfies.

You are our local Crackologist, Cody, so here's a question for you.
Is the "anonymous" commenter on Crack's blog who signs as "PW" aka Shouting Thomas?
1. I feel as though I've been insulted.
ReplyDelete2. I have no idea, although I doubt it very much.
Here's my picture for the calendar. I think I deserve the money more than Trooper, to be honest.
ReplyDeletePalladian, the shadow is very Orson Welles or Fritz Lang, take your pick.
ReplyDeleteMr May or May Not?
ReplyDeleteAll that's missing from El Pollo's contribution is an Ahoyed iphone, slowly drifting down, down, down, to rest on the ocean floor.
ReplyDeleteEven without the phone, it's a happy picture EP!
Pearls go with prettymuch any ensemble.
ReplyDeleteRay Handley has volunteered for October, but would like to be fitted @ Lee Lee's Valise.
ReplyDeleteeven without the phone, it's a happy picture EP!
ReplyDeleteI like that photo for its balance. Note how well he framed it--it wasn't cropped by me either. We were both holding our breath and had only a few seconds to set it up. He won awards in middle school for photography, but has lost interest.
Geez Cody, I apologize if I'm wrong. I said it was only a hunch.
ReplyDeleteIs is that Coney Island or the Rockaways?
ReplyDeleteI agree Palladian's pearls are classic. Just don't clutch them.
ReplyDeleteWell, since my hubby isn't officially a member he can't be on the calendar, but I thought I would show an anonymous photo of him. Shirt that he had custom made about 2 1/2 years ago.
ReplyDeleteNice photo El Pollo....you look like you are having a blast.
About Mr July:
ReplyDeleteEver one to wade in the water.
Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children,
See that host all dressed in white
God's a-going to trouble the water
The leader looks like the Israelite
God's a-going to trouble the water
I was definitely clutching Tiggy for comfort! Tiggy does not equal Tigger, btw.
ReplyDeleteLove the calendar idea. And the pics - are Evan and Bruce the only real ones so far? Awesome.
Darcy, that picture to the right (or maybe left, if you are on a 'mobile device') is actually me. That's as real as it gets, baby!
ReplyDeleteI disagree, Icepick. That's more a photo of your inner self than the real you.
ReplyDeleteHey, Darcy! Always great to see you here.
ReplyDeleteNow tell us about scaling skyscrapers.
Do you need sponsors?
ReplyDeleteI think Haz should be Mr. January. Have him in his full cold-weather gear and all you see are his eyes and the fog of breath in the bitter cold Wisconsin air.
ReplyDeleteEr...cool pic, Icepick! =)
ReplyDelete@El Pollo
I'm not going to go the sponsor route, but thanks for the thought! Hope I can get some friends to do the climb with me, though.
@DBQ Cool shirt! Want one. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd hi, Ruth Anne!
That's more a photo of your inner self than the real you.
ReplyDeleteHey, the inner me is the real me.
What say we take up a collection to buy Palladian some BP meds - speaking for myself, I have bought enough ammo for this week and it's high time I gave back to the community.
ReplyDeleteAnyone in?
It's from a CT scan, about seven years ago now, when they found a large growth in my head that wasn't supposed to be there. There's nothing like the fun that comes from thinking they're going to amputate your head to get rid of all the cancer. Woo hoo! Fortunately, it wasn't cancer, but it WAS a whole lot of fun when they removed it.
ReplyDeleteAnd if you know where to look, you can even see the extra hole in my skull that shouldn't be there. Now all those cracks from my mother and grandmother are true.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know we could use CT scans for an avatar - that opens a whole new realm of possibilities.
ReplyDeleteWant to see my bulges? Calm yourselves, the ones in my discs...
Sixty, he'll need to be careful on that front. For some meds it is better to be either off of them or on them all the time. Going on and off them can create a yo-yo effect that can kill. Been there and done that with the Missus, and it is not fun.
ReplyDeleteSure, Sixty, why not.
ReplyDeleteOr, alternately, everyone could wander to PalladianinPearls.com or whatever his site is (evanizer.com I believe) and select a piece of art they like. Or they could even suggest something to him to do, after viewing his eye (so to speak).
He's a pretty talented cat and deserves a wider audience.
Want to see my bulges? Calm yourselves, the ones in my discs...
ReplyDeleteGo for it, dude!
Just don't use any images from your colonoscopy, okay?
ReplyDeleteChick, I thinking about being offended when you said I was the resident crackologist.
ReplyDeleteThat's a heck of a thing to say.
But I still don't know why you had the hunch.
Just don't use any images from your colonoscopy, okay?
ReplyDeleteGod. I still have nightmares about Katie Couric's. And I think her bum suits me more than Sixty's.
No offense, Sixty.
If there is a collection to help with Evan's meds, I would be happy to contribute.
ReplyDeleteI miss a lot, so if there is something like this that I don't respond to here, I hope someone will email me.
Or you could just visit more often and hang out like all us losers!
ReplyDeleteEr....
I mention bulging discs and then you go and use the word hunch. Thanks a lot. I assume you are just posturing.
ReplyDeleteDarcy'll never go away agaaaaain!
ReplyDeleteDarcy's scaling skyscrapers?!
ReplyDeleteHow did I miss that?
Crap, camera #3 is out.
>>Hey, the inner me is the real me.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why
I'm a One Man Guy
Or why this is a one-man-show.
But these three cubic feet
Of bone and blood and meat
Are what I love and know
'cause I'm a One Man Guy
In the mornin'
I'm the same in the afternoon
One Man Guy
When the sun goes down
I whistle me a One Man Tune
One Man Guy, A One Man Guy
The only kind of guy to be
One Man Guy
I'm a One Man Guy
And that one man
Is me
BP med-wise, the smart thing would be to cover a six-month->year's worth.
ReplyDeleteDarcy'll never go away agaaaaain!
ReplyDeletedepends if blake got the knot tying merit badge legally or not.
Sixty: I'm taken aback.
ReplyDeleteI'm lost, Cody.
ReplyDeleteTequila for Haz is a worthwhile cause. Just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteReally, Darcy?
ReplyDeleteI'm lost too, Cody.
ReplyDeleteThe implication is that blake's into bondage or something when we all know he's just a voyager.
ReplyDeleteDarcy sez she'll never go away again.
ReplyDeleteI say it depends on whether blake's knot tying merit badge is legit or not.
How is that difficult?
What am I, posting at Lem's Lack Of Levity suddenly?
Like I tried to explain...blake's a voyager...he's not into kink that I know of.
ReplyDeleteFairly sure blake's made bondage type jokes himself in the past couple of weeks.
ReplyDeleteI'm probably wrong.
Codes - Darce has a life, cut her some slack. Do not pick on the Darce. You'll be walkin' on the fightin' side of me. No one wants that, except of course those who do.
ReplyDeleteWhen was I picking on Darcy?
ReplyDeleteFuck.
Well, that's a different subject, just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteGentlemen, a bit of decorum when ladies are present, if you don't mind.
ReplyDeleteSo no talking about tonight's starting pitcher for Detroit?
ReplyDeleteIs it Ho Lee Fuk?
ReplyDeleteNope
ReplyDeleteHoping Mr. Fister leaves a blister
ReplyDeleteIs he from Kentucky?
ReplyDeletePoor Cody.
ReplyDeleteThe implication was that, if I could tie a good knot Darcy would never leave again (or the other way 'round, that she'd not be able to escape here).
And I did make just that joke the other day. Someone asked where Darcy had gone and I said something like "She's a little tied up."
Everything's funnier when you explain it, apparently.
My deep and abiding respect for the Tigers and--especially--their loyal fans prevents me from engaging in any juvenile pre-game banter.
ReplyDeleteAfter the game, who knows?

ReplyDeleteChick, I thinking about being offended when you said I was the resident crackologist.
Look, the reason I said that was because when I went over there to see what all the fuss was about, I saw comments from you on practically every post. Also from "PW" so I just wondered.
Things really are better if you explain them.
So PW is not Paco Wove, eh? Seemed like as good a guess as any...
ReplyDeleteOH!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I didn't get that, Cody. Thanks for explaining it, blake. It seems so obvious now that it's explained to me. And I'm only an enhanced blonde, too.
No prob, Darce.
ReplyDeleteI know it's tough to think when you're all trussed up. ;-)
