Snow pictures and bloggies

Franklin's grave and James Madison

I took some post-blizzard pictures when walking down to Old City for All Wear Bowlers and passing what seems like almost every tourist attraction in Philly.

But that’s not the big news. The Eagles are going to the Superbowl. Wait, that’s not the big news either. Philadelphia’s very own Mac of pesky’apostrophe is a finalist in the 2005 Bloggies. She is up for best tagline: pesky’apostrophe – always better than an unexpected period. Go vote!

    Aw, thanks poop!

    You’re welcome.

    In other news, I am on strike until someone at least acknowledges my picture of James Madison in front of Ben Franklin’s grave. I worked really hard on that!

    Boo hoo.

    At first I thought it was you. But you don’t look like a man. Or bronze for that matter.

    So would he call it “James Madison University” or just “My University?”

    I love your photo shop skills! I was trying to figure out who that was–a young Ben without the specs? He does look wisely contemplative despite his armless state (maybe he can hook up with Venus d’Milo) and the fact that he looks like he is escaping from a cage. Is that how it was at JMU?

    I can’t believe you weren’t nominated for best tagline!

    Sassy, is that you being all anonymous? The Venus d’Milo statement gives you away. Yes, James’ arms are under the sweatshirt (to keep warm).

    Clair, people often mistake me for James Madison, especially during the summer when I am more bronze. Bronzer?

    I would just like to say that I nominated both you and Mac for best tagline. Sad.

    Thanks Jen and Tintil, but the Bloggies are an A-list kind of thing, so while I had fun nominating myself a bunch of times, I didn’t really expect to be a finalist.

    Besides, if Mac and I were up for the same thing, I’d have to go throw batteries at her or something. Could’ve gotten ugly.

    I have three things to say about this post, and the accompanying pictures:

    1. Good job on the James Madison insertion (heehee).

    2. No mention of the fact that I, in a mode of chivalric excellence, told you I wouldn’t post my Foam Land picture so you could post yours and not have the unseemly appearance of copying me? I think the fact that I am pointing it out cancels out any chivalry that may have been evident in the actual performance of the non-usage of the photo.

    3. The only blurry photo of the bunch was taken by me. Sorry, Becky!

    Wow, my second point is wordy, even for me.

    You’re right, Scott. Thanks for giving me first dibs on posting the Foamland picture. As for that blurry shot–you can’t be held responsible because the autoflash wasn’t on.

    Oh, don’t mention it, Becky ;)

    And I blame your ancient camera, I think the gerbil inside it might have been napping.

    Sorry Becky, I’ve seen you during the summer and bronze is not a form of red.

  13. Gravatar Icon 13 Becky

    Don’t listen to Clair. I am a bronze goddess during the summer.

    Egads. I’m not trying to be anonymous–something happened to my “remember my personal info.” I also replied to something Clair said in a previous post–which doesn’t have my name on it. Yes, I want Venus to hook up with James Madison–although Dolly won’t be too happy and she has brought us snack goods.
