COOL STUFF IN JAPAN 16 - “COOL COWBOYS LIVE IN OLD MOVIES” This sign was so awesome, yet so confusing, all at the same time. Here’s how our little sign adventure went down… Me: “I’m so confused? Is this sign pro-smoking or anti-smoking? I think it’s gotta be anti-smoking, right? But at the same time it’s making me want to smoke, so I’m not sure what to think. I’m torn Vicki… I’m a torn man.” Vicki: “Good grief torn man! It’s not even about smoking! It’s about littering.” Me: “Really, I don’t think so, I’m pretty sure it’s definitely about smok” Vicki (yelling): “IT’S SO OBVIOUS!!!” At this point I give Vicki a grumpy look and then proceed to closely examine the sign for about thirty seconds. Me: “Hmmm… I see what you’re saying, but the question nonetheless remains… is it pro-littering or anti-littering? As such, I remain a torn man.” Vicki: “AGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!” An awkward silence ensues. After a minute or so I break the tension with this little gem… Me: “So, whaddya think the odds are of us actually finding chicken teriyaki today?” At this point Vicki threw her cup of coffee at me. Me: “Looks like someone is living in an old movie!” Vicki (reluctantly): “Okay… that’s actually kind of funny.”

Past Christmas Classics: 2004 CHRISTMAS CARD “WE WISH YOU A MERRY LASSO” So we ended up going with this one. Aside from having the best formal composition, it simply screams “GET YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOES ON AND LET’S DO THIS THING!!!” Not that this needs explaining, but the lasso is meant to represent the hoops Rudolph had to jump through to prove himself, and the salute is an obvious ode to my childhood hero, the legendary Yukon Cornelius. Bumbles Bounce!!!

Past Christmas Classics: 2004 CHRISTMAS CARD REJECT PHOTOS No. 04 - “The EGGNOG INCIDENT” Just your typical Christmas tale… 1. Cowboy is jealous of Astronaut’s double eggnogs. 2. Astronaut shares his eggnog with Cowboy. 3. Cowboy and Astronaut toast to the “island of misfit toys”. 4. Astronaut spills eggnog on Cowboy. 5. Cowboy gets mad and makes Astronaut clean up using his nice J.C. Penny tie. 6. Cowboy wags finger at Astronaut and calls him names. 7. Astronaut tries to win back Cowboy’s heart by offering his little red drum. 8. Cowboy feels bad and eats his hat. This card was obviously rejected for its complete lack of originality. Pretty much every card on your grandma’s mantle probably tells the same tale. Oh, and the big ol’ Chinese Lantern smack in the middle of each frame didn’t exactly help things either.

Past Christmas Classics: 2004 CHRISTMAS CARD REJECT PHOTOS No. 01 - “THE SHAKE” Back in 2004 I was living in Hollywood with my main man Nick and we decided to shoot a last minute Christmas card. He wanted to go with a cowboy theme, I wanted to do some sort of Russian jumpsuit theme, so we compromised with a handshake and split the themes 50/50. Unfortunately a handshake seemed a bit to “formal” for Christmas so this puppy was tossed into the “reject” pile.
