I'm not topping this one for a while.

"Be not afraid of greatness; some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them."  - William Shakespeare


Take a look at the photo below:





What you are looking at is my house on a sunny June afternoon taken from Google Street View. Now let's take a closer look, particularly focusing on the lower right hand side and tell me what you see:





If you had guessed me giving the knuckles out devil horns to the Google Street View car, you'd win a prize.

The devils horns with the knuckles out. The universal symbol for I fucking rock!!! Due to my face being blurred, what you unfortunately can not see is my tongue sticking out, Gene Simmons style circa 1977. It was an all around one two punch of awesomeness. Now it's neither here nor there how this came to pass. In this particular case it's not about the journey.  I had maybe a second to react upon seeing the Google Street View car and this was the result. I think I made the correct choice in my actions.

Side Note #1:  You also may have noticed that I am not wearing any shoes.  We have a strict no shoes policy inside our house.  I have extended that policy to a 50 foot perimeter surrounding the house.

Side Note #2:  After carefully studying my picture, I sadly came to the conclusion that it bares an eerie similarity to the picture below:














Look at it.  Same awkward, lumbering gate.  Same slightly hunched over posture.  Same hair cut.  Same somewhat startled look on both of our faces.  Just as Bigfoot was not expecting some rube with a camera to be in the woods that day, I was equally not expecting a hipster in a Prius with a 7 foot camera attached to the roof to go driving through my neighborhood.
