Revelations - Minnesota Style

In order to grasp this post then you will need to read the comments from my previous post.

I was going to write about that new show Revelations, but I think this comic strip will be more realistic than this new show... Married in Minnesota, if you're from Minnesota ladies, this is Sydney's guide to "How to bag a guy in 10 days!"

And as you can see, Ben and Sydney, like their fictional names, also have fictional hair color in this cartoon series...

But I must say this for Jes's sake:

MINNESOTA IS NOT IN CANADA!

jes said...

ben, thanks for that tidbit. but i don't think that MINNESOTA is in Canada. I keep thinking that YOU are in Canada.

that said, Eddie: where did you get these images? is this really a comic strip?

Eddo said...

The pictures are from Microsot's website, you can automatically use them through powerpoint.

Okay, the cat is out of the bag, I use PowerPoint for all my initial designs, then I move them into photoshop, and sometimes back into powerpoint- sometimes as was the case with the MIM template, 5 times - back and forth, back and forth, back and forth...

I was shocked that Syd used the "H" word as well!!! Just when you think you know someone... But then again, it doesn't surprise me that she used this word... cause she is. But when you are, "hot, and sexy, and gorgeous" what can a guy expect??


This was sooo funny Ben, I loved it that you said, "But then again, it doesn't surprise me that she used this word... cause she is." OMW, I must say that since you have been reading my site your funny factor has grown exponentially!!!

Where's the first graphic.

what huh? The comic is hilarious, HILARIOUS

P.S. Eddie what little graphic artisty I do (very very little) I do it all in powerpoint. I use to make the hangar calendars in power point. Crazy I know but I'm good at manipulating power point to my every need.

Eddo said...

Katie, admit it, your just plain good at manipulation...

And Ben, thanks for noticing that I accidentally Cropped "Park Ranger Super Syd" out of my comic strip, Syd cleans up real nice when she's not fishin!

jes said...

HA! SHE HAS A CANADIAN FLAG ON HER HAT!!

oh my gosh, i am SO laughing out loud at that!

10:21 AM  
Katie said...

yes I am good at convincing people to do things they might hesitate to do otherwise, if you want to call that manipulation then you have that freedom but I think of it as a public service. I am encouraging (pushing) people to choose the best (my) way to do something. I am helping (forcing) them.

Hee Hee, all in jest people all in jest. Maybe I am really just trying to sharpen your convictions and your ability to stand firm.

katie, what you just described is Diplomacy at it's finest.

I read this on the wall of a restaurant the other day -

"Diplomacy is letting people have YOUR way"

Ben said...

"HA! SHE HAS A CANADIAN FLAG ON HER HAT!!

oh my gosh, i am SO laughing out loud at that!"

Jes is slow...

Refer to my second comment on this post... Now maybe that comment will make sense to you jes?

Hee Hee.

10:39 AM  
jes said...

but that picture wasn't there earlier. how could you have said that?

HA. Jes isn't slow, Ben is just telepathic.

10:42 AM  
Ben said...

It was there. You just read it too quickly. hee... hee.

11:17 AM  
Eddo said...

Jes, you are too good of a friend and so I can't let Ben say these things...

When I first posted this Ben saw it almost immediately, I had taken the time to change the hair color and everything, but the font looked weird and the resolution was crappy, so I went back and corrected it, and in the process accidentally cropped out the first picture, and then Ben, with his eagle eyes, noticed that I cropped the picture and so I fixed it and put it back.

So, now you should be on track - and it was funny that the picture of that lady had a canada flag on her hat, I didn't even notice that until ya'll pointed it out!

jes said...

eddie, THANK YOU.

ben, Hmmph! Maybe I just won't talk to you today for trying to pull the woof over this sheep's eyes.

yes, i realize that says woof. i think it's funny, so i left it.

heehee! :)

jes said...

my dad always said that I should be a sailor, because I amuse myself so easily. :)

11:45 AM  
Ben said...

Jes.... PLEASE talk to me! I didn't mean it... I was only kidding.

(Please say you still like me!)

"Woof" was funny.

And your dad was right. lol.

jes said...

ben: compliments always work. just don't send flowers. if you send flowers, my husband will hunt you down. he has made it very clear that only HE can prevent forest fires.

HE is also the only one who can also give me flowers. just ask KT.

This is so fun reading everything. The blogs are funny and I love them and the comments are so much fun too. You all are amusing me. (That is a complement) :)

12:15 PM  
Eddo said...

Anjelica, thanks for the compliments, however, we are all probably going to be jobless and penniless living together in a shanty someday talking about the "Good ol' days" when we had jobs and high speed internet connections, jobs that we got fired from because we are all BLOG-A-HOLICS!

Ben said...

I am just waiting for en expose on 60 minutes or something having to do with the "crack down" on blogging and the estimated cost of time and money to businesses.

I hear the investigation will start in Denton.

12:37 PM  
Eddo said...

Denton! LOL! Ben that comment made me laugh out loud, it was so perfectly and matter-of-factly placed!

12:39 PM  
Ben said...

Also, please don't take all day to discover my new post people!

*shamelessly grovels for visitors...*

Sydney said...

Wait- just - one - min....

How did I all of a sudden get bagged the horney one????

I feel like President Bush when Dan Rather reported on his military record. I think that this comic is of the liberal agend and doesn't produce facts... By the way Danny Boy was forced to RETIRE!!!

And besides if you are going to show how to catch a guy....get the facts straight.... it was HOMEMADE APPLE PIE!!!!

12:48 PM  
Sydney said...

By the way eddo....

It's a hilarious comic strip... even though the facts are slanted...


HE HE HE HE

1:07 PM  
Eddo said...

Thanks Syd, perhaps you need to reveal on your site the exactness of how the two of you got together, engaged, etc, and then I will create another more factual comic strip, but of course, with anything that I write I embellish it just a touch to make it say what I want it to say!

1:23 PM  
Katie said...

Ha ha after all that was said Syd freaked about about being called "h". Funny. Also funny is that noone in our original blog circle (jes, eddo, ben and syd, and kt) live in D-town. Three of us have lived there or in my case work there every day but none live, so bring on the investigatory (my own word or at least spelling I think) journalist, I will swat them like the mosquitoes they are

1:34 PM  
jes said...

so, syd, are you saying that President Bush was horny when the whole incident with Dan Rather happened?

i don't understand how you came to this conclusion. ;)

1:48 PM  
Amstaff Mom said...

Jes is just saying that b/c I took her smart card away. I definitely enjoyed the comment-inspired comic strip. Do we get to have one of these every day? This is much better than Dilbert. My worst fears realized- busted at work for blogging. How shameful. Is this stopping me from commenting? Obviously not. Kudos to Eddo for getting 30+ comments two days in a row.

1:57 PM  
Sydney said...

I don't know if President Bush was horney at the time or not..... sad to say but we not that close.... at least I don't get those kind of personal details....BUT it could be!

The correlation that I am drawing... of course... are that the facts are slanted in EDDO's piece, making it out to be that the guys are the cuddlers and the women are the horn dogs...A slight changing of the facts... Like that of what Dan "BLATHER" (Ben and I renamed him) did to President BUsh!
