(Or); Why you should really leave the funny Photoshop pictures to me…
I met the Doobster! In real life! Yes, the guy who does; http://mindfuldigressions.com/
And we had an awesome adventure day in San Francisco… and that was just a small part of one day on a very adventurous two weeks where we saw Willie… (and his parents)… and met a new baby cousin… (As well as seeing his parents, who are also favorites)… and Mollie and I got a new camera to share… (A really nice one with a big zoom lens, so get ready for some awesome new photos just as soon as I do posts using up all the pictures on my cheap old camera)…
Now the Doobster does not want to have his picture shown because he is shy… and because he knows instinctively that if you saw how cute he is, you would all try to kidnap him and keep him in your basements.
But I took pictures of us on our adventure day in San Francisco… and you need proof that I really met him… what are we to do???
Not to worry… he sent me his funny cartoon face and body. But the thing is… and this is the thing that led to the second title up there… he also sent me a picture where he tried to actually stick the cartoon face over his real face…
Now let me show you what that picture should look like…
You can see what a difference small details make… like altering the neck to fit, and rounding off the top of the head.
Anyway, I have a few more posts to do just about this epic meeting of two blogging giants, and I hope you will join me later. The main thing is that I now have a person who you all like and trust who can vouch for the fact that;
1. I really am 6 feet 4 inches tall…
2. I really have size 15 feet…
3. I really am incredibly handsome in real life…
4. I really am a little insane, am all art-side-of-the-brain, and that I have crack squirrels in my head… or at least I act like I do…
Oh, and here is the cartoon of himself that he gave me to use to cover him up in all the rest of the pictures I took that day…
I guess it looks pretty much like him. He actually has some hair on his head… on the top, I mean, and he dresses better in real life… but he really does shrug like that an awful lot… although that just might be because he was talking to me… HA!
Pouring My Art Out 
So what is Doobster like? I think you made his head just a little too big for his hat.
What is he like? Well, his head is too big for his hat.
Love it!! So glad y’all got to meet – that is awesome & I’m sure it was a roaring good time! Can’t wait to read the rest . . .
He is really a very nice guy
Hasty wanted to do the same thing with me, photograph ourselves together and photoshop my gravatar image over my face, now I think we should’ve actually done it.
seriously, have you ever searched my ‘the Hastywords war’ series of posts??? good photoshop stuff of her… I got to know that face
Actually I was just thinking last night that it would be cool to have the time to go back and read older posts on your blog, as well as Hasty’s, since wasn’t following from the beginning
you have missed some crazy stuff… if you find the beginning and just scroll up without stopping, it will shatter your mind
Maybe next time I visit in bulk, I’ll start from the beginning, alternate my bulk visits that way.
your incredible bulk visits…
I turn green when I’m ready to read
you wouldn’t like me when I’m ready… uh.. read-y… read-ie
I got ya, yeah, then I’m sitting there with a book that’s too small for my big hands, and I’m all green and my clothes don’t fit anymore, so it’s not very comfortable or dignifying
and the destroying stuff is just rude
yep, I shouldn’t have had that iridescent beverage
wait… I thought a radioactive green rhinoceros bit you
that too, I’m mess up, man
you all mess up
damn, what’s with my typos as of late
ass of late
a slate
a clean one?
always
good
Yay for seeing your mom and meeting Doobster. So awesome.
It is going to take a while to get through this trip
Soooooo coool.
it waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas

How tall are you? I have a brother that is 6’4″ and he is huge? Size FIFTEEN feet? Holy moly? Now, before I say anything else and get in trouble *blush* let’s quickly move on for me to say, I am SO happy you had fun with your pal. I agree with the face. I little trimming was all he needed. LOL You are too much!! (((HUGS))) Amy
well it is going to get weirder than this… but thanks…
And a fine looking pair you lads are. That is a handsome looking Christmas tree that Doob has behind you guys. It must take him a long while to decorate it.Ha! I like Doob’s hat ( is that a fedora?). I wish I could have been there but it’s a bit far to go for a coffee – about 9,500,00- Artmetrics.
It is so cool when bologgers get to meet.
We shook the universe to its foundations
Lucky you!
I am
How exciting! The Doobs and Art together! Did the police have to cordon off the area to keep you both safe, or to keep the bystanders safe from you two? I so wish you weren’t both on the other side of the country from me. I hate missing out on events like this.
I will get to the more exciting parts soon enough
oooo, I’ll wait with bated breath.
baited… ha
No it’s bated (I believe an abbreviated version of “abated” meaning holding one’s breath). Just ask Doobster.
I will… next time I see him
hmmmm … interesting reply.
indeed
“Bated breath” is the correct phrase. Unless you use your tongue as a trap and put bait on it. Then, perhaps, you can wait with baited breath.
Ha! I so love it when I’m right (which isn’t very often).
I was right once
I never mastered baited breath… HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!… seriously… I kill me… that needs to be a tweet
So first of all, Arthur is, in real life, exactly as he is on his blog. Second, he clearly has more talent when it comes to doctoring photographs than I do. As to what he wrote about himself:
1. I really am 6 feet 4 inches tall…He is. I’m not short, but I had to stand on a step ladder to look him in the eye. It was a bit awkward carrying around that step ladder the whole time, though.
2. I really have size 15 feet… And you know what they say about the size of a man’s foot. (I have no personal experience to verify either the size of his foot or his…well, never mind).
3. I really am incredibly handsome in real life… Ha ha ha!
4. I really am a little insane, am all art-side-of-the-brain, and that I have crack squirrels in my head… or at least I act like I do… Yes, all this is true, even the crack squirrels.
yay… I feel so validated… and maybe violated… hey, I can show pictures of your whole self as long as the face is obscured, right? I mean, are you ashamed of your face or your whole body? HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I kill me…
Yeah, it’s only my face that I’m ashamed of, although my body is not much to brag about.
ha
I don’t think I have seen you without sunglasses before, Art.
Doobster looks just like he does on his site 🙂
wait for it… I have some real pictures of him that I will show uncovered… oh yeah…
YOU MET THE DOOBS???? I am a tad envious. I couldn’t kidnap him and keep him in my basement cause I don’t have a basement. Just for the record I believe all 4 of your facts. In fact I believe everything you say. (aren’t I cute when I talk nonsense?)
Even when you do not talk nonsense you are cute…
🙂 See? another reason I love you!
well yeah
So that’s what your thing was. Now I can get out of this conundrum.
I have been told not to mention when we are out of town for security reasons…
Awwww I like this very much!
it is going to get better
Reblogged this on galesmind and commented:
You could be brothers.
Clearly we were separated at birth. And since I was born in New Jersey and Arthur was born in San Francisco, we were separated by about 3,000 miles (and a few years, a well).
well, I am adopted…
