Pig Leg Slap

Jun 7, ’11 7:15 AM

Here’s a video I meant to post several weeks ago. Fair warning, it’s pretty stupid and there’s one instance of NSFW language.

This spring Dub hosted a Whole Hog Party pig roast at his house. I had really wanted to see my old buddies from high school again, before I moved out of Helena for a while and I was lucky to have been back home to catch up and join ’em for this. Jayson and I used to play a game—he mentions it briefly before I smack him—called Paper, Rock, Scissors, Punch-in-the-Face. The rules were simple. The winner of paper rock scissors gets to punch the other guy in the face. The loser gets to decide if he wants to play again.

Vigilante Day Parade

May 6, ’11 1:51 PM

3 7 77

The first Vigilante Parade, held in 1924, was the brainchild of Principal A. J. Roberts in an attempt to divert students from traditional “subversive” spring traditions. These included an annual “senior-junior fight,” which often resulted in serious injuries. With the help of both students and faculty, the historical parade has enjoyed decades of success, creating its own history. For instance, in 1939, the Parade served as primary entertainment for visiting Prince Olaf and Princess Martha of Norway. -Source

A Spring Snow

Helena was treated to a quick snowstorm this afternoon. After eating my lunch on the back porch steps in the sun I didn’t expect the weather to turn so soon. But McKenzie called it on the ride back to work saying that it has been threatening for days.

UPDATE: Allegra Shoots The Parrot

Parrot

Aha! After I made the Parrot post yesterday I went back to work and Marcy was working converting all the photos from RAW to usable CMYK tif files. While she was at it I snagged these shots taken by Archie.

The young lady in the picture is NOT McKenzie, but an imposer. Although McKenzie and I have been summer regulars at the Parrot (end of the bar, two black coffees and the ice cream of the day in a dish, two spoons) anyone with half a mind should be able to see right through the artifice of this photo. You see, there is a blaring misstep in the mise en scene: the Parrot serves beef chili and I am a vegetarian. No vegetarian would ever knowingly order BEEF chili.

See the new Parrot ads in the IR in coming weeks.

Parrot 2

Navana and I appear to be on a date, we are faking.

Marcy and AJ shot some ad photos for the new owners of the Parrot on Monday. I got to skip out on work and drink a grape phosphate and fake-eat some beef chili to stand in as a customer. Unfortunately some real customers came in and stole my thunder.
