Bored?


In one of Bean's Daily Sixs, he linked us to "The Album Cover Game" and expressed an interest in our doing the same thing, or something like it. He left the details up to us. Big Mistake.

I read the Album Cover Game, there were some really creative entrees. Some funny stuff. We could do better. We have some zany cats showing up at BTSC. I didn't read the whole piece as it seemed quite long and, well, I think I may have potentially, possibly seen a trend - I was getting bored.

I wanted something a little more personal though, to start. You know, just to let us get the ball rolling and at the same time maybe bring us closer and get to know one another a little better.

What I'm suggesting is the "Member-Picture" game. You see, there are so many unique and disturbed characters at BTSC that don't have pictures of themselves and whom we really know nothing about, but somewhere in the back of our head we have built a picture and maybe a short story. So, let's hear it, and see it.

Troll the net for a picture that represents your idea of a member, post it in this blog, and add a short story about the member and what is happening in the picture. In case you're not clear, we're going for humor here, so take your time, think it through. Make us laugh.

Sure, some of our more popular targets may have pictures posted next to their name already, feel free to use the real picture and embellish what is going on.

Here, I'll start it off:

This is a picture of our founder and inspiration, Michael Bean and his big brother, who has been so understanding of Michael's life choices, at Michael's graduation from journalism school. Michael (Or Michelle as he likes to be called at some of Seattle's alternative bars, most notably, Miss Pickles and The Magical Mystery Skirt) spent years as someone he didn't want to be, a car salesman. After some serious soul searching and not receiving return correspondence from Elton, he enrolled in the Mary Kay School of Soft Journalism and sought out a job he could perform dressed, "Any way I damn well please". Congrats Michael, well done.

And of course:

Rebecca Rollett (A.K.A. "Momma Rollett") tries to hide her face as she is being led to a police car. She was arrested for spearheading a kangaroo fighting ring. Police were tipped of by a local veterinarian who saw a dramatic rise in the number of kangaroos seeking treatment for "falls" or "Running into Sean Penn". Momma Rollett was importing these marsupials under the guise of "Yard protection". Police believe the proceeds from the fighting ring were going to buy season tickets to the Steelers or having the member of her choir who keeps hitting the wrong note rubbed out, a misdemeanor in the state of Pennsylvania.

Okay, so I technically made every scrap of information up and really went delusional with the picture in my head of these two members, now you get the idea, go wild.

P.S. This is meant to be friendly, so please be mindful of the spirit of the exercise.

Maybe one more:

ESGB, Josh Roberts, pictured left, shirtless, and his band of eighties dancers, "The Epileptics", show of their brand of "Fresh" break-dancing skills on the steps of the House of Commons. Josh, the choreographer and fitness leader of this dedicated group, says, "F**k soccer, we're into something else, totally solid".
