It says "Select One" but all three can be d/l.

I prefer "Wind it Up" out of the three.

This thing is addictive and the possibilities are endless. Some of the best combinations had already been done, such as Obama and Hitler:



Quite the contrast: George Bush and Einstein:



I was getting tired of doing political figures, thinking I might do some celebrities, then thought to bridge the two when I saw them next to each other on the "A" page:

Al Gore and Al Pacino



How 'bout Madonna and Mao Zedong



For some reason, I thought Jay Leno and Stalin might be funny.

I was right.



Then on the "O" page, I saw these two together, Osama Bin Laden and Oprah:



It got me to wondering what celebs kids would look like.

If Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise had had a child together:



Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thorton's child:



I think while I was growing up I saw every Elvis movie ever made. After watching Viva Las Vegas, I fell madly in love with Ann Margaret. Here's what their kid would look like:



Wait, I think Elvis DID have a child that looks like that, didn't he? He must've had some dominant genes.

I started to get some silly and surreal ideas:

Marilyn Monroe and Marilyn Manson



I decided I'd best quit when I thought of this one:



Chewbacca and Vivian Leigh

She's Just My Style-Gary Lewis & The Playboys

EDIT: Had to put in another vid as the original one I posted was taken down by YouTube.

If THIS one goes down, I'm sorry.

(sorry that the publishing companies are so anal retentive)

grandiloquent

grandiloquent \gran-DIL-uh-kwuhnt\, adjective:
Lofty in style; pompous; bombastic.



There's nothing bombastic about this blog, nor could it be described as pompous because there's nothing lofty about its style.

It has no style at all.

This is why....

We in the Panhandle have a nasal twang...it's all the dust in the air.

Dust Storm Warning in Texas Panhandle

This is the radar return; the amount of precipitation is signified by progressive shades of green/yellow/orange/red/yellow, etc., but the dust shows up as earth tones.

How apt.



Here's the wind velocity; the green is wind going towards the radar (Amarillo) and the red is the wind going away.



The different shades of color signifies the kts or knots per hour. (1 knot = 1.15 mph) The shade of red where Pampa is equates to around 50 knots, or right around 58 mph.

Amarillo radar (composite view/loop)

flummox

flummox \FLUM-uhks\, transitive verb:
To confuse; to perplex.



Flummox is also a noun, the name of my world, the new one in which I wake up every morning.
