While looking for something else, I stumbled upon one of yesteryear's
finest products.
More proof that the studio hasn't been cleaned out thoroughly enough. I checked into it and these
baggies were probably manufactured and purchased prior to the
ziplock revolution of 1964. This means that these baggies could have been sitting in the cabinet where I found them for nearly 44 years. When those baggies where purchased, my parents may have been roughly 10 years old. I was probably -19 years old at the time.
Alright people. No one guessed the
last pictionary correctly. The answer was
fortune cookie.
I know you can get this one, drawn by my wife, Meredith. Guess quickly so you can get your picture in the blog.
Ready.
Set.
GO!!

We just reconfigured our
blogs to
accommodate gigantic images. What do you think?
I chose this image as the first gigantic secret blog post because I find it hilarious and chilling all at the same time. I think it's even more effective now that it's huge.
Let me know what you think by leaving a comment.
Kristin received an email a few weeks ago from a bride-to-be who wouldn't divulge the
groom's name or any other details about the wedding. She knew something was
up.
Aaron says that Eric is a
supper nice guy - just a
regular dude with a lot of talent and
ambition. They joked about Jim
Carey movies and had a blast.
Stay tuned for more images to come.
We are pleased to announce our first winner: Leah Bowman. She is a photographer based out of Cary, NC. She guessed correctly on the last Pictionary post. The answer was "buy". We have a lot of good guesses though. The race gets tighter each time.
Nice job Leah.
Today's Pictionary Pop Quiz was drawn by Kristin (Aaron's wife) and Meredith (Matt's wife). Is it some kind of flaming tongue parachute? Who knows?
Guess quick. Be the first correct guesser who hasn't won before, and you're in the blog.
So go get 'em!
Our latest discovery was found in the storage building - the part of the storage building that hasn't been disturbed since the early 1920's.
It's a long rusty hook with a wooden handle. I didn't know what it was and when I showed it to Aaron he recognized it right away. "That's for catching and killing chickens." He then proceeded to demonstrate how one can catch chickens with the rusty hook.
He left the killing part out, not wanting to horrify children who might watch the video. He also used a stick, rather than a chicken because we didn't have any chickens or a large chicken costume for me to wear.
Watch and learn:
NOTE:
- We do not condone the catching or killing of chickens with long rusty hooks, unless those chickens are attacking your family or if they look delicious.
Okay, here are some hints for you folks:
Your hints are a little more juicy than the
regular blog hints, but you should read those too.
Here's your hint: He is a North Carolinian.
Who do you think it is?
This is only a few weeks late, which is pretty good in Matt time (sort of like dog years, but not as predictable).
Cindy turned 35 this year on January 1. Here she is 32 years ago:
Awww.
Brittany turned 16 just a couple of days ago. She has her license too, so be sure to look both ways - all the time, not just when you cross the road. You never know.
Here she is a month and a half ago:
Awww.
Happy Birthday Cindy and Brittany! You guys rock.
I don't know if you guys saw the
Official Blog post this morning about Aaron's top secret celebrity wedding, but he's pretty much a
superstar now.
I was lucky enough to purchase some pictures of him from local paparazzi.
Here he is, his first day back to the studio after shooting the secret celebrity wedding.
It's a shame what
superstardom has already done to him. Pink shirt. Bath & Body Works bag in hand. Who knows what he's got in that bag. Probably
creams and lotions of some sort. The type of creams and lotions that only superstars use.
And now for an exclusive clue, for secret blog readers only: The celebrity whose secret wedding Aaron shot Tuesday is... a country music star.
More clues on the way. Keep your eyes peeled. You never know where they might show up...
The last
pictionary answer was
Banner. That's right:
Banner. Take a look back and you'll be able to see it now.
I'm afraid we did not have any correct guesses, but don't be discouraged. Here is another chance to get your picture in the blizzog!
BLAM:
This little diddy was drawn my yours truly. Here's a hint: it's an action.
First one who gets it right gets his or her picture in the blog, so answer quickly! And if no one guesses it correctly, I will be offended. I think I draw very well. In fact those aren't stick figures; they're just really skinny regular figures.

I think it's cool if it's a movie that you've seen a billion times and love. It's also fun to quiz your coworkers. Just queue up a classic and see who can guess what movie it is first. I'm stumping Cindy on Mission Impossible as I type. She has no idea...
The Wedding Singer is a good choice. You don't really need to see it to feel the emotion. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll probably get fired if your boss walks by.

We played
Pictionary at our studio Christmas party and we had so much fun we thought we'd let you guys play too.
Here's how to play: I'll post a picture every once in a while and you guess in the
comments section what you think the picture is. The first correct guess wins.
Whoever guesses correctly gets his or her picture in the blog!!!! This is a BIG DEAL.
Picture #1: An

What do you think it is?
Guess quick before someone else gets it!
Most you probably don't know that Aaron had long hair at one point in his life. Early midlife crisis? Barber's strike? Who knows?
We thought he might be willing to
oblige us with a fashion tip for today's post.
Enjoy your fashion tip for Friday, January 04, 2008:
Guys, before you grow your hair out, there are a few guidelines to follow:
First, be sure not to touch it. It doesn't tell you how to do your job. Back off and let it do its thing.
Second, be sure to use your ever-growing
side-curls as
sideburn supplements. Many men don't have
sideburns substantial enough to accent a mane of long hair.
Third, feel free to just go casual with your clothes. Your shirt doesn't need to say, "Hey, I'm a
big shot." Your hair will say it all.
Fourth, once your hair is
lengthy enough, just add a leather jacket and some lighter fluid and you've got a full-blown
movie poster on your hands.
Cindy has discovered my twin brother. I never knew I had one.
I returned from running some errands and found this on my desk:
I'm not really convinced that this guy looks anything like me, but she insists that he does. You be the judge:
Maybe she meant the groom.
Leave a comment and/or vote on the poll to the right to let me know what you think. Do we look alike or am I way cooler? (I'm the one on the left by the way...)
