The Camera Doesn't Lie

But Software Can Sure Exaggerate

When I spent a couple of weeks in the hospital back in April, following my stem cell transplant I wanted to let my family and friends know how my recovery was progressing.  So I snapped a couple of pictures of myself so they could see for themselves.

My doctors think they've discovered what my problem is.

Now for some reason I didn't get a lot of replies to this note.  No one seemed to notice my head had shrunk significantly.

So the next day I sent the following...

Any ill effects from your radiation?  None whatsoever!

Hey, the camera doesn't lie!

Brian: I saw so many doctors I'd say "which" doctor are you?
Donnie said…
I mentioned a while back to my roommate that "seeing is believing" doesn't hold water anymore. Now you can't even believe a picture. Too bad.

Don: As the internet interloper you are, Don, you should know more than anybody about fixed pics. I'd be dangerous if I had Photoshop.

Ha ha! Funny pics. What's with your hair in the first one? And what's that orange stuff sticking out of your ears in the second one?? Good TT.
nonamedufus said…
00dozo: Ha, ha, the "effect" did that with my hair in the first pic. In the second, that orange thing is on the wall behind me but, yeah, they look like over-sized ear plugs.

I really love your do! Nice and fluffy!

I wish the camera would lie about me. I want it to make me look like (insert beautiful, classy, not slutty too many of them around these days here).

*grin*

Quirks: Who are you and what have you done with the real, beautiful, classy, not slutty Quirky?
Kelly said…
So, based on the 2nd picture, are you seeing double? Oh, I crack myself up!
nonamedufus said…
Kelly: Yeah, for some reason they sometimes call me "four-eyes".
Chris said…
I like the pinhead one.
nonamedufus said…
Chris: Thanks...uh...I think.
Monkey Man said…
Love you reat sense of humor in what appears to be a very serious situation. No photoshop here. My Theme Thursday is HERE .
nonamedufus said…
Monkey Man: Thanks. I'm really a-head of things now.
PattiKen said…
So no one noticed you were looking a bit odd, huh. Have you changed your will yet?
nonamedufus said…
PattiKen: Ha, ha, ha. Now there's a thought!
I have got a thing
That's unique and new
To prove it I'll have
The last laugh on you
'Cause instead of one head
I got two
And you know two heads are better than one.
Two heads are better than one, I guess. Especially if the is super tiny.

Frank:
All I can I say
That is, if I may:
Others' efforts would be pathetic
Only you could wax poetic.
nonamedufus said…
Mike: You're quite right when you say "the" is super tiny. But "a" is even tinier.
Leeuna said…
Haha. Not only does the camera add a few pounds, in your case it added an extra noggin. So, are you smarter now? :)
nonamedufus said…
Leeuna: No, but sometimes I find myself repeating myself. No, but sometimes I find myself repeating myself.
Baino said…
Haha . . I'd love to master photoshop and play around like that.
nonamedufus said…
Baino: Me, too, actually. All I did was choose one of the options on my MacBook's "Photo Booth". The computer takes your picture and the option you choose does the rest.

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows... Imagination Day!  Oh boy!  You know what happens on Imagination D
