this shop was prompted by the convo below...

Okay, some explanation required. There were some girls from Chicago at the surf camp and one night we were talking about how we felt like we were mentally handicapped when people spoke to us in Spanish. Rochelle said on her first day here, one of the guys said "Caballo" (pointing out a horse) but she thought he said "How are you?" so she said, well, you can see the response above. The guy just looked at her like she was retarded.

Bondi Baywatch

This just seemed such a good fit for Chris...

Yeah, I know. Now that I'm not learning to use the software anymore there are no new 'shops. This was a joke at work - in lieu of a pay increase, we get to pick our job titles...

Don't fark with G-Ma

This is what life looks like in my head... Of course, the part you can't see is Laird Hamilton waiting for me on shore.

Chris lives in a world of his own. What a happy place that must be!

You had your chance, girls.

He's getting married next weekend.

Many athletes in Canada hold dual citizenships and have competed for other countries. The most recent one I can think of is Dale Begg-Smith, who won gold for Australia at the last winter Olympics in men's moguls. Dale, who was born in Canada and holds dual citizenship, started skiing in Canada but found the training program too restrictive. He moved to Australia where he was given more latitude to focus on his business interests. Ironically, his win bumped Canadian Marc-Andre Moreau down to 4th place and off of the podium.
Anyway, switching allegiance is done for any number of reasons. Often, athletes who don't qualify for the Canadian national team have the opportunity to compete at a higher level by joining a program with less depth. There's certainly no malice intent here but when I heard that Duke was considering this option how could I not picture this movie...

New photos from the Black celebration party at CCA raise question of paternity

His portfolio is building nicely don't you think? Chris' modelling career has taken off...

in a completely unexpected direction. Sorry Chris, I know I said I'd run it by you first but seriously, not many guys could pull off this little ensemble in quite the way you have...from now on I'm calling you 'the pretty one'.

This one is for the Rankin Lake Warriors.

I'll clean this up a bit more when I have time. This is such an old photo of you Rachel. Since you can't be with us for boxing next week...

Stay out of the weight room! Shro had mexican last night...

I got bored waiting for my laundry to finish so....time for another victim. Sorry D-Shaw. Sabi was the obvious choice for this one because of his love for all things Speedo but when I saw that look on your face? Sabi out, D-Shaw in.

I heard about the timbersports - I'm so jealous (plus a little bit afraid). Are you going to be running around flinging hatchets at people? Are you growing a beard and wearing plaid all the time???

i think i can totally see myself in the woods being a crazy axe lady who loves to chop down trees with a beard

Okay, so I took some license with the idea but it works. I did a version where their faces were sepia-toned but it washed them out to the point of being unrecognizable. More better good stuff soon.

Played around with the original a bit...Captain Morgoch meet Captain Black.

Okay Geoff, I'm sorry but when I saw that you had joined Spandex Lovers Anonymous and then this picture crossed my desk...what else could I do?

So hey...ummm.... JAZZ HANDS!

Thanks for the suggestion Matt - here's the Captain! This was so quick, I couldn't believe how well the two pics fit together. I've done another with the 'stache but it just looks like the regular Captain Morgan. Anyway, I love this one. I think it should be Dana's Chrismas card...

My home internet service has been down for 4 days. This means no access to images on the net which means no new Photoshops until I can get Rogers to come in and replace stupid Sympatico. I'm slowly fazing the Bell monolith out of my life.

another one from the archives...

If Tomi ever decides to compete at the Winter Olympics...

Here's one I sent to Karl while he was at a training camp in France...I realize that he's been a repeat victim on VOC but there's just so much material (plus he's an attention whore!)
