okay, i'm just getting coffee'd up, but here's take one...

from left to right...

Girl 1: "OMG! He's back! Drive! Just Drive!"

Girl 2: "No! I'm through running from this nut. I told him he can't have my hat. I think I can take him."

Girl 3: "Hang on! I'll use my phone to put it on YouTube! This is going to be awesome!"

From left to right...

Girl #1:
Projected response - Irritated at the creepy man with the camera.

Reality - Upset because there is now photographic evidence that she just rolled out of bed and has not showered in three days.


Girl#2:
Projected response - Trying to maintain the cool, distant confidence of a cowboy.

Reality - Knows that she is from the city and attends a school that costs more per year than a cowboy can dream of making and is thus a fraud. Also keenly aware that cowboy hats, if worn by anyone other than a true cowboy, cause brain cancer.


Girl#3:
Projected response - intoxicated.

Reality - intoxicated.

Really, that should be:

Girl on left: "Go away, creepy camera guy.:

Girl in middle: "Hmm, creepy camera guy. What's he doing?"

Girl on the right: "Hey look! Creepy camera guy!"

Technoprairie said...

Girl on left: Just smile and maybe the crazy man will quietly leave.

Center girl: You got a problem with the hat, camera boy?


Girl on right: Hey look at me! Someone's taking a picture of me! Hi!

jc--

very nice. and oddly accurate, i think.

formerstudent--

less accurate, perhaps, especially since cowboy hats cause scurvy, not cancer, but still very funny.

steve taylor--

check. check. and check!!

technop--

what's funny is that all of these four distinct comments all are compatible with one another. and all assume that i'm a creepy guy.

i've been described more often as creepy lately in the past two weeks (because of eyeballs and whatnot) than in the entire month before that. i mean "five years." not month. that would be less impressive, wouldn't it?

"OMG, hey! .. No, no, the girl behind you .."

Mike Bailey said...

j--

i like that. combines those three folks and an additional person in one sentence.

you did a twist on it.

jonbon said...

the only thing I've gathered from this post is the fact that you, my friend, are a creepy, creepy bastard.

maybe that's why we get along so well.

Mike Bailey said...

jonbon--well, stude, we both love creep by radiohead, so it only follows.

and could you believe that "timekeeper" thought he was being insulting and sarcastic rather than honest and confessional? i guess that's how a non-creepy mind must think.

jonbon said...

haha! yeah. only self-deprecating "creeps" (like us?) get the esoteric meaning of that song. it's like our anthem, of sorts.
