30 Days of Photos - Day 9 - Disguise


We're into Week #2 of 30 Days of Photos IV, or as Ziva likes to refer to it "Bob".  Did you know BOB backwards is the same as BOB frontwards? Yeah, it's a palindrome. Just thought I'd point that out.

Today's theme is disguise and after getting through week #1 I think I'm gonna start wearing one.

As I paddle in my kayak.

Hey, I'm on the level here.

Pop on over to Madam Ziva's and see who else is wearing a disguise today.

I feel like I missed something. Why are you wearing a disguise while paddling a kayak? In any case, kudos to you for having the good taste TO kayak. I swear it saved my life I love it so much.

That mask looks a tad wicked, I don't know why. Pray tell. Why is this challenge called BOB?

I'm a superhero of the great outdoors.

I don't know Babs. It was Ziva's idea. Hey, Bab is a palindrome, too.

That is a KICK ASS mask. And kinda creepy!

Especially if I say "Hello 'sbabs here"

I don't like using Palindrome for Bob. less letters to just say Bob is Bob.

The lighting's from the Flash Light App on my iPhone of all things.


And, yes, Bob is easier to say, and spell, than palindrome.

Thank you. My step-son made it at school when he was much younger. It's plaster of paris, painted blue.

Ziva said…
Ohh, very artistic, dufus, and very nice! I love it! Too bad you ate the nose, though.

I'll pass you'e reaction along to him.

nonamedufus said…
Yeah, it's my attempt at artsy-fartsy. I think it's kinda cool. I guess you could say I've unmasked my true capabilities.
9 September 2013 at 11:20
nonamedufus said…
I've had the fartsy part down for some time now.

That's a great photo, NoName. But is this something you own? Why? And when do you wear it? With Mrs. NoName?

nonamedufus said…
I'm a ballet dancer in my spare time, Mike. Good work out for the calves, you know. Last time I wore this was during Swan Lake.

I'm so impressed by this photo. Love the lighting. I couldn't tell if the mask was metal or something less dangerous, but I read your comments and found out it is plaster of paris. I would like to be plastered in Paris.

[Insert evil laugh here] Very creepy. Evil Twin wants it for her closet door. Maybe it could disguise itself as a knocker.


Great photo, though!
9 September 2013 at 14:28
nonamedufus said…
It's made of plaster ofparis. One knock and that'd be it, Ref.
9 September 2013 at 14:38
nonamedufus said…
Ya, plastered in Paris is a great idea, Malisa. I'm in.
9 September 2013 at 14:39
nonamedufus said…
Plastered in Paris. I could go for that.
9 September 2013 at 14:43
nonamedufus said…
Well it's made of plaster of paris. One knock would be bout all it's good for.

Cool picture. Is it a picture of your brain exploding?

Very artsy! I can almost hear Phantom music in the background.

No, it's only Day 9. But maybe in a couple of days.
9 September 2013 at 18:49
nonamedufus said…
Ah, right. But now his mask covered only half his face.

Cheryl said…
Did you make that yourself from papier-mâché? I wouldn't wear it while paddling a kayak. A canoe, yes. But never a kayak.

nonamedufus said…
Maryse's son made it when he was a kid. Maryse never throws anything away.

Nicky said…
I really like this shot, mon ami. The air of mystery, danger... just like you, right? :-)
9 September 2013 at 19:41
nonamedufus said…
Oh, absolutely. Shaken not stirred.
9 September 2013 at 19:56
Shawn Ohara said…
Great shot! Terrific look with the lighting. No need to wear a disguise after this one.
9 September 2013 at 20:16
mike said…
Cool mask. I like the shadow play on this one.
9 September 2013 at 20:35
nonamedufus said…
Here's how I did it. I went into our windowless, darkened powder room, flipped on the flash light app on my iPhone and took several pics with my iPad. This is the one I chose. Might've worked for the "illuminate" prompt to if I hadn't taken it only yesterday.
9 September 2013 at 21:06
nonamedufus said…
I did too. And the arc at the top is kinda special too.
9 September 2013 at 21:07
Shawn Ohara said…
That just proves it. No need to over think it. The proof is in your terrific photo.
9 September 2013 at 21:34
nonamedufus said…
Who knew I'd do some of my best work in the bathroom?
9 September 2013 at 21:38
Cheryl said…
Well of course not. When the house gets too crowded, just rent a storage unit for the overflow. Worked for my mom. (I really like this photo. The light and shadow are really intriguing. #TeamLame really needs a new hashtag.)
9 September 2013 at 21:41
nonamedufus said…
Let me amend that. She never throws anything away unless it's mine.


How about #teamsortalame?

Katherine Murray said…
That is absolutely gorgeous!

Thank you Katherine.

Paula Larew Wooters said…
Is that your kayak, cleverly disguised as a mask?
10 September 2013 at 06:30
Cheryl said…
How about you make the jump to #teamadequate with an eye towards moving up to #teamsatisfactory? Yeah, I know, both of those are pretty lame, aren't they?
10 September 2013 at 07:21
nonamedufus said…
No but in my secret identity I get to say things like "Madam I'm Adam"
10 September 2013 at 07:55
nonamedufus said…
I like team adequate. It's like a step above lame.

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! ...

Hello Goodbye

Today a bit of a reflective piece. Rather than being funny, this is  about the funny. It's a day of mixed emotion at nonamedufus . You see, after several months of inactivity I've dropped a couple of former blogger buddies off my blog roll. I kept hanging on and hanging on hoping they'd return to active blogging but, alas, after waiting in one case five months I've decided to let them go. I'm going to miss - going to? I have been missing - Margo at the Screaming Me-Me . She was one funny lady. From time to time she and I would engage in a feud or two for several days at a time but it was all in fun both for us and, I think, for our readers. And we'd leave each other funny comments, poking fun at each other. I miss her friendship and our humorous exchanges. The other blogger I'm letting go is Chelle, The Offended Blogger . Chelle was a special lady. In addition to her own blog she created and managed Humor Bloggers Dot Com where humour bloggers like m...

The Dangling Conversation

There's a debate underway in my household between my wife and I. I say "underway" because it hasn't quite reached the "raging" stage. If you want raging, my wife (a Francophone) and I (an Anglophone) from time to time (usually in a weak moment of my own making) slip into our number one discussion around why we don't speak more French at home - ergo - when am I, a former public servant who learned French at the expense of our gracious taxpayers and was technically rated bilingual (even though I hardly used it), going to improve my use of Canada's other language? This one never gets resolved, hence it's ongoing nature. But the current debate is over a remark I casually made the other day. I'm no geek, but with a lot of time on my hands I surf the web, converse on Facebook and such and - I have to admit - "I'm nonamedufus and I'm a Twitterholic". In an epiphany-like moment I was struck by the apparent impact of social networkin...
