On Having Skills
Thanks to Napolean Dynamite, we all have a better understanding of the value of having skills. As you know, I have also written about this topic before. That said, it is also important to understand one's limitations. Therefore, if you ever find you truly lack a particular skill, you must then seek out people with the skill you lack and figure out how to get them to do what you want.
In my case, I just got lucky. My good friend, Dan, has caricature-drawing skills, art skills, Deathstar Turbo Laser Turret making skills and many, many other skills that I don't have. Fortunately for me, Dan shares his skills. He made a fantastic caricature of me for my blog. Not only did he capture the essence of me with the Grape Nuts, screwdriver and corn dog, it actually (and perhaps unfortunately) looks a lot like me too (click the image to see full size!!).
Thanks again, Dan!

May I be the first to comment on your blog... or so it says on your site.
I thoroughly enjoy your writings... they make me giggle, and I'm not just saying that because we have shared some fabulous cheese on a stick!

What it the significance of the Screwdriver?? Does it mean you'll be screwed if you eat too may Corn Dogs and Grape Nuts??
