The Image of Friendship

9 Feb

Some people are getting some spoofage.

Everything in the following image is symbolic of some blog buddy or other. I’ve managed to fit in fully a baker’s dozen.

Happy Valentine’s week. Feel loved. :-)

    Oooh! A Buck Rogers-esque spaceship!

    With a Pilgrim for a pilot. Guess who…

    I’m told I’m supposed to claim my spoof character. Yes, I’m the one in the SuperDave Osborne esque white track suite holding the exploding porcupine child (spoofing my children of course). Quick-oats and RedRay were obvious. Not to mention Ratbert. That’s as far as I got without an interpretor.

    Feeling a little Moody?

      Heehee! You betcha. :-D

    Heheh. Good one. No, it was not apparent to me that this would be the image coming to the mind of every American on hearing the title of my next book. I have since been taught the error of my ways, but I like the title too much to change it :) Space Pilgrims forever!

    LOL! I spy an electric guitar laying on a church pew! But what worries me is the guy with it! Do I really look like that?? ;0)

    What is the flag?

    • Andy S February 9, 2010 at 4:45 pm #

      Ah, Haiti!

    oh I have to claim myself?! I’ll be the girlguiding uk logo – one or the other of us is 100 years old, and the way I’m feeling, it could be either :D

    Grace: I always think of “strangers and pilgrims on the earth,” but if you ask Google images for a pilgrim, this is what you get…

    Andy: A pew with an odd guitar-shaped cutout, in fact. The instrument is likely off at a gig, I guess. :-) The classic soldier and self-identified bead-rattler is harmless, I promise.

    Jackie: Are you feeling better? Seems to be the Season of Sick. Yep, you and Girl Guides go together, but hey, you are a very sprightly age yet.

      Bead rattler? I’ve never heard that expression before! hehe

        Walt has a way with words. :~)

    Spoofage is great!

    Slick-boats is obvious as superdave. Redray thanks you for not selecting the Vita veta vegamin episode :)

    Still having trouble with two on the bottom row…

    Since some of our unsuspecting participants are down with the flu, I’ll fill them in on their behalf:

    Heather is the gamer/anime chick. The story of the twitter update is that ‘Shamus’ is slang for detective. (That dude is so funny.)

    As to the last one, we do have a self-identified Wes(t)leyan around here who’s married to the Princess Bride…

    Ratbert was too easy (but I love the hockey stick!).

  13. Hank Harwell February 10, 2010 at 3:59 pm #

    Heh. I wondered….

  14. Hank Harwell February 10, 2010 at 4:03 pm #

    Oh, and for the record, it was my computer that was down with the bugz, not me.

    • C.L. Dyck February 10, 2010 at 4:07 pm #

      Ah…it’s Heather’s family with the pukage right now, my white-hat cowboy friend. I did see something about the virus on your twitter stream, primarily that it has been vanquished. All good.

  15. C.L. Dyck February 10, 2010 at 4:06 pm #

    Randy: I know, but what else could it be?? Oh, and, it *was* you who started the Ratbert thing, shortly after I assumed the Catbert identity.

    Some were easy to come up with, others, not so much. Now, what I should’ve done was made that pilgrim bigger and put some dreads on there. (There is actually a fair bit of significance to that, but you’ll have to read Grace’s book to find out.)

    And. Ahem. Ratbert. You hosted a party at your place and didn’t notify me. I arrived unfashionably late and found Quixote already half-passed out on the dance floor, intoxicated from imbibing in the exchange of ideas and mumbling something about “emergent butchart.”

    I love the Haitian flag… I am catching up on your blog. My husband is finally traveling. We are ordering pizza to be delivered. The house is not clean. I will do it tomorrow. Today, is my day. And my oldest? Well, I blogged her today. :o (

    • C.L. Dyck April 6, 2010 at 6:04 pm #

      You may be the most patient friend I have. I know you only get to play catch up about once a month, and the volume I tend to post in that time is really unconscionable. And yet you weather me… :-) Thanks, dear.

      I am praying for your oldest. That’s rough. Just rough.
