I won't laugh, but I will chortle, chuckle, giggle, guffaw, hee-haw, snicker, sniggle, teehee, and tiffer.
Hee hee!

You call that work? :)
Very nice. Your daughter is quite the photographer, Euty.

Geez, Euty. If you were really a geek, that'd be a Dilbert calendar on your desk, rather than something with color photos in it.

First picture I've seen of Euty without facial hair.
Dude! Lookin Good!
Has anyone mentioned you got a really small
Monitor?
What is that thing, 15 inches? I think we need to see if any of these folks wanting to donate equipment can upgrade our moderators stuff. Don't want you messing your eyes up squinting at something that small.

Well, it is pretty big, but not quite 15 inches.
Oh, you were talking about the monitor!
Heh ... 13 inches. It's all that will fit on the desk.

It could be worse Euty...
you could have those big glasses that allow you cheeks to see.
Very sharp, Euty.
Mine's 21 inches. Monitor Envy anyone?

So, Euty.....
did you know you look like my physics teacher from high school?
Did I mention he was the coolest teacher I ever had?
Thought so. ;)

That's a right Saintly pose, Euty, and I hafta admit, that paint bucket in your other photo always made me a little , uhh... uneasy.
Here, you look muy elfin, and that's a good thing. But... what's in that little jar on the shelf over the computy???

Hmm...Euty with facial hair or Euty without facial hair?
Tough call.
I like the picture--I can see your hands. They're nice. Good, strong hands...very useful for uh, all the typing you have to do as a Mod...yeah, that's it... ;)

Much better without the beard. Although, that's just IMHO.
Your daughter has a promising career in photography ahead of her.

Yeah, fuzz-free is better. Just my preference. Nice picture.

FWIW I think you look better without the beard as well. But I don't believe you're actually working. You look much too pleasant. Where's that pained expression? You know the one that comes from having to suffer fools all damn day and night. :D

My wife bought a camera for our 3 1/2 year old, and she's already started snapping away. May the Forces of the Universe grant that she never photograph me at the computer.

FWIW, I apparently don't have permission to view the photo. Bastardous server...

Nothing right now. I could pencil you in pretty much anytime! ;)

How's next Friday? Say noon, at the food court in the mall?
(I saw a calendar on your desk in the picture. I thought it might be a joke type calendar, and you could share!)

Which mall?
Okay, just to settle everyone's curiosity:
On the upper left hand corner is the Disney DVD collection and the jar to the immediate right is pipe tobacco which I don't use too much anymore, but when I do it's a local blend called "yellow jacket." The jar directly above the monitor which looks suspiciously like cocaine, is in fact, cocaine. No, really, it's Duocal which is a dietary supplement for Liam. The calendar is the Disney desk calendar and right behind that is a picture that my daughter drew about 5 years ago. Among the assorted detrius on the desk is my wallet, my Bugs Bunny checkbook, and my Mickey Mouse keyring. Mickey is also on the mousepad. On the monitor, you can just see Cracker Jack stickers of Tweety and Porky Pig and if you could see the other side, you'd see Marvin the Martian, Yosemite Sam and Foghorn Leghorn as well. The stain on my shirt is either Earl Grey tea or baby oil (don't ask.) Catdog is playing on the television, a program which I find personally abhorrent, but the kids seem to like it.
Anything else?

It's a long sig and I'm a man of few words. Or would you want me to have a bigger longer sig so I can clog up the boards some more? Would you enjoy some more quality time with the loading bar, dan I. think. NOT.
And now, here's my long-winded yet anti-bad-eyesight sig.

Cool picture. Just wish my workspace was as clear as that.
Whoops. Gotta go. Another paper avalanche a comin' ...
