Dorkulus Dingleus Maximoos

I discovered this from a year back (my how time flies) and thought it deserved a viewing (some of the content will be outdated but nonetheless so enthralling....):


Right so I went to Austin, had Christmas, took pictures, started a new semester and still haven't posted. Yeesh - what a lame-o, but here I is now.

To backtrack:

In December, after finals, I went to Austin to visit with my friend, Jeff. Yes, he is maniacal and he looks the same as he did 17 years ago when last I saw him. We have been friends since, hmmmmm, ummmmmm, well I had just graduated undergrad and he was finishing a master's. Many eons ago. This is his friendly face...

He doesn't live in Austin, was there for a "conference" (a-hem, you executive types with your retreats and ass-kissing seminars) and so we decided that the true meaning of conference was "play". And we played.

First we went to Coyote Ugly where the girls are whores, the bartenders are whores with an attitude, and the men are just plain gibbering droolers. And there it was decreed that the whiskey and Kamikaze's should flow as a wild, untamed river - directly down our gullets (to use an "Ugly" appropriate anatomical reference. We woved the street of 6th and ended up in many a-drinking establishment.

We were here, and this is Shabnam, the miniscule Hebraic girl. Notice the drink which is only a lowball and how ginormous it is in relation to our little Jewish Princess. Also note the grins caused by just holding said glasses - funny how that happens down ther in that Austintown. And as complement to her minisculality, Shabnam was very proud of what can only be identified as the rare and shaking Gluteus Minimus Extremis. I was obliged to snap away with promises that her lack of beutoccal substance would make it onto the pages of this illustrious publication.



Needless to say, after the hiney shenanigans, many were drawn, as a moth to a magnet, to the dazzling glitter of my shutter and so there ensued many poses by fellow revelers...
