Well, Blade and I went about the island today to take some pictures of our crayons. We almost didn't, though, because I gave him the wrong phone number and he couldn't get in touch with me.

Anyway, I'm glad we "hooked up" because we got some awesome pictures. You guys will have to live in suspense, though, until he has a chance to upload the pictures.

You will NOT be disappointed!

Here are some more from my vacation:

And now the one you've all been waiting for... The first crayon to meet someone famous.

My crayon and I meet Chuck Yeager, the first man to break the sound barrier (me removed, as this is all about the crayons, right?):

Preacher

Goblincat you realize you should have used a Blue dot?

phraseturner

i give you 50% of my crayon photos....





with the remaining 50% to be displayed by mid-week. these things take time; lining up top talent like these dinosaurs isn't easy. i will only hint that the participants of the remaining pictures will be feathered.

@ Rescue Rex and his bigass phone!

hgar78

is it supposed to be made outta stone?!?!?

Blade

Ok.

Immortal Zues and I got together on Saturday to do some sightseeing with the crayons.

And yes, it felt as idiotic as it sounds!

First, as is par for the course with Hawaii Otter get togethers, something went wrong:

Here's Laser Lemon and I waiting for IZ to come down from his condo. I called him but got a voice mail message.



Laser Lemon: He's probably sleeping!!

A little after this, we left to go take some pics on our own, but IZ finally called me

asking where I was. Turns out, IZ emailed me the wrong cell phone number!
I told him this after I picked him up and when I told him the number he gave me, he said,"no,
that's the right number." He's had this phone for over half a year and still doesn't know his
own number!

So first stop is the ever popular Diamond Head Crater.

Laser Lemon and Red Violet near the entrance:



At the main hiking trail sign (no we didn't hike up!):



From inside the crater (photoshopped 2 pics together):


As we were leaving the park, we saw some Japanese tourist sitting around waiting for their
tour bus. IZ said we should try to get them to take pictures with the crayon.

IZ: Do you speak English?
Girl on the far left: A little.
Blade: We're sort of playing a game...
Girl: (very tentative) A game?
Blade: Yes, some of our friends through out the states have split up a box of crayons are
taking pictures of these crayons.
Girl: (starting to sound a little scared) A game?
Blade: Yes. (smiling very reassuringly) Just a game. Will you hold the crayons?
Girl: (looks at guy on far right and says something in Japanese, then turns back to us) OK!



We couldn't believe they did it. We also couldn't believe we were asking people to do this!
Crazy, crazy stuff!

Next, we decided to go out near Sandy's for some pictures. If you've ever seen Joe vs. the Volcano,
the following scene (after Tom Hanks' been picked up from the LAX airport) this is where they shot it.
(You can see the cab and Meg Ryan's car in the shot)



IZ's standing where the red X above is:



I'm standing where the red arrow above is pointing to:



IZ took this shot of me climbing back up:



Which is probably how I cut my thumb!



We then went to Aloha Tower Market Place for the obligatory Hooter's picture!

When we drove up, we saw this in front of the parking lot and had to take a picture:



As we were walking to Hooters, IZ had an inspiration:



IZ: Hurry! Take the picture before they come out and yell at us!


After we at lunch, we explained what we were doing to our waitress (the blonde between me
and IZ), and she said, "sure, but let me ring the bell so you can get a bunch of us all together!"
The waitress was very cool! IZ said we should try to get the waitress to stick the crayons in her
cleavage ala jolt's girlfriend, and after laughing, I said that we'd probably get thrown out of the
restaurant if we did that.

So we paid the bill and our waitress had them ring the bell, and the five girls you see came up.
IZ asked the our waitress if she could hold the crayons (some of the other girls were asking what
was up with the crayons) and she took them, looked at them for a second, and them stuck them in her
cleavage all by herself! We just couldn't believe it.



Coolest Hooters waitress in the world:



Needless to say, Laser Lemon and Red Violet had a very fun filled day!

Okay, I berated hgar78 for having a boyfriend with girl's hands, so I feel obligated to do the same to you. You've got girl's hands!

Who is that that you photoshopped onto your head? Is that one of the Monkees?

By the way, Blade got it wrong with the Lamborghini pic. It wasn't just sitting there. We drove up in it. Come on Blade, don't be so shy! Although I must admit that after all your attempts to remain relatively anonymous, you didn't totally airbrush out your license plate.

Anyway, Blade and I had a great time. He even let me borrow his unwatched, "still in tradeable condition" copy of season 1 of The Sopranos cause he knew that I wanted to watch it. Thanks man!

immortal_zeus

Okay, I just realized that my Lamborghini story doesn't jive since in the first picture, your car is obviously white because we can see the hood. Also, in your girl hand picture, you can clearly see the Nissan logo on your steering wheel.

Blade

"Girl hands"? Whatever you say, Mr. "I can't see the blood!"

And yes, that' Davy Jones of the Monkees.

joltaddict

Im still laughing at Rescue Rex.

immortal_zeus

Oh, haha. I get it.

Preacher

Posting a thank you to krs10 and highper for their donation. Loved the pics (having doll dreams / somewhat titilated and disturbed ) and looking forward to more adventures.

Blade and immortal_zeus those are some wicked pictures.

Gus arrived a few weeks ago but he was shy and didn't want his picture on the internet. It's taken me a while to convince him that it's ok, so here he is!

Here is Gus and his adoption certificate. I'm so proud *sniff*



Gus and his first stuffed animal


We played hide and seek. Can you find him??


Thanks to Preacher for hosting the pictures!

DarkElf

Blade and zeus, your pictures make me miss Hawaii. It's been 7 long years. Man, did I love my vacation out there. Great pics!

The pic with the X and arrow, where is that? What part of the island?

goLUCKY

Wierdest thing is I keep looking for Bigfoot in that picture,

immortal_zeus

That's just past Hanauma Bay on the way to Sandy Beach.

DarkElf

Wait, how close is it to the "toilet bowl"? I ask because I have a great photo of myself standing next to a sign that is between Hanauma Bay and the toilet bowl that looks just like the one you guys posted. When I saw your photo, I was like, whoa, I know that sign! But I'm sure there's more than one of them around O'ahu.

immortal_zeus

It's a little past the toilet bowl. Yes, those signs are everywhere.

Blade

Yeah, the Toilet Bowl is in Hanauma Bay, which is just before where I'm standing on the rocks. The arrow on the picture is pointing towards Toilet Bowl too.

jhko,

"hide and seek"

C-Mart

Ok, I was out in Burbank last week... going out again today... doing some field work and Razzmatazz wanted to join me, so here we go:

Razz puts on the crappy orange vest, grabs a clipboard and a measuring wheel, and off we go!


Razz with the wheel...


Razz decided that he was too small to properly use the wheel, so he decided to just take notes... he wanted to use himself, but I wouldn't let him!


After work we headed over to Hollywood to visit one of the greatest music stores ever! Amoeba Music!


We tried selling some albums... they gave me $6 for about 10 of the 166 that I had with me.

Sockmonkey

Well, Burnt Orange (though she prefers to be called Orange Brűlé ) arrived late last week.
Unfortunately, we've had a very busy few days and haven't given the little darling the attention she deserves.
Hopefully sometime this week I can participate in Bring Your Crayon To Work Day and get some pictures taken.
