Hapless Pygmy Chimps Dancing Around a Ferrari

Monday, February 06, 2006


Well I don't have a picture of a ship, Brian, but I thought that this painting might satisfy your nautical desire. This depicts the biblical story of Jonah. I like how I made the light stream down onto Jonah because it sort of accentuates the situation that Jonah was in. I also like the accentuated muscles in Jonah's back. They are very nice. I think the whale is very scary too.

Isn't the whales mouth a little small for the size of his body?

Does it symbolize the epic struggle of man against nature?

I think the whale's mouth is perfectly proportional.

Yes, it is like the old man and the sea except Jonah was a young man so it could be something like 'Young Man and the Sea, and a Whale too.'

No, this picture is in perfect proportions. The whale in the picture is a sperm whale, and that is the actual size of their head and mouth.

The whale is very well painted. Thank you for considering me Matador:-)

Are you online right now?

 
At 11:08 AM, Blogger Matador190 said...

I think we posted at the exact same time.

 
At 11:09 AM, Blogger Matador190 said...

That's pretty awesome to think that you're out there somewhere, thinking of me while I'm thinking of you.

 
At 11:16 AM, Blogger Reformed Centurion said...

Spooky.

 
At 11:16 AM, Blogger Matador190 said...

Hey there good 'ol buddy!

 
At 11:16 AM, Blogger Matador190 said...

What's your vector, Victor?

 
At 11:18 AM, Blogger Reformed Centurion said...

I'm at home. What's up.

 
At 11:18 AM, Blogger Matador190 said...

Oh not much. I am sitting here at a desk all day for Cadet in Charge of Quarters.

 
At 11:20 AM, Blogger Matador190 said...

Yeah kinda weird how are worlds are so similar, and yet so unsimilar.

 
At 11:20 AM, Blogger Reformed Centurion said...

You are just sitting at a desk all day? Hey that is just like Stephen's job. Go figure.

 
At 11:20 AM, Blogger Matador190 said...

For example, we both wear underwear. However, it's the manner in which we use it that's different.

 
At 11:22 AM, Blogger Matador190 said...

Not really. It's completely natural.

 
At 11:22 AM, Blogger Reformed Centurion said...

Spooky.

 
At 11:23 AM, Blogger Matador190 said...

Yeah, I went to one of my sponsor's houses and watched the whole dang thing.

 
At 11:23 AM, Blogger Reformed Centurion said...

Did you watch any of the superbowl yesterday?

 
At 11:23 AM, Blogger Matador190 said...

I don't know, man, I don't care to watch football much.

 
At 11:24 AM, Blogger Matador190 said...

But yeah, I saw it. It was a little bit enjoyable to watch.

 
At 11:25 AM, Blogger Matador190 said...

Did you watch it over there at Nathan's casa?

 
At 11:26 AM, Blogger Matador190 said...

Ah si, si. It runs in the family.

 
At 11:26 AM, Blogger Reformed Centurion said...

I did not really care a whole lot, but Nathan invited everybody over to his house to watch it. Stephen was squirming the whole game because he didn't care at all.

 
At 11:27 AM, Blogger Reformed Centurion said...

So what does Cadet in Charge of Quarters entail?

 
At 11:28 AM, Blogger Matador190 said...

Well I just sit at this desk from 6:40 AM to 11:30 PM and do random chores, like pick up boxes that come in. But most of it is just sitting here and trying to do homework.

 
At 11:28 AM, Blogger Matador190 said...

And I can also grant magical powers.

 
At 11:30 AM, Blogger Reformed Centurion said...

What classes do you have? How are they going?

 
At 11:32 AM, Blogger Matador190 said...

Oh, pretty much the usual. Physics II, Math, German, Metaphysics and Time Travel, Military Science, American Politics, PE, and Geography.

 
At 11:35 AM, Blogger Reformed Centurion said...

Metaphysics and Time Travel? Is that some form of advanced military training?

How do you like German? How much do you know? And please do not come back a me with any German phrases:)

 
At 11:35 AM, Blogger Matador190 said...

Well, no, I made up the metaphysics.

German is my favorite class. Yo quiero mas German!

 
At 11:37 AM, Blogger Matador190 said...

With the amount that I know I could probably get by. At the very least, I could find a bathroom, a taxi, or say that soccer makes me happy.

 
At 11:38 AM, Blogger Reformed Centurion said...

I think that is Spanish:)

 
At 11:38 AM, Blogger Reformed Centurion said...

Brent is learning Russian at the moment because he has to show proficiency in a foreign language to get his doctorate

 
At 11:38 AM, Blogger Reformed Centurion said...

Soccer makes me happy too.

 
At 11:39 AM, Blogger Matador190 said...

Do elven languages count?

 
At 11:40 AM, Blogger Reformed Centurion said...

I was joking about the Metaphysics thing.

 
At 11:41 AM, Blogger Reformed Centurion said...

Who said anything about elven languages?

 
At 11:42 AM, Blogger Reformed Centurion said...

Do you know eleven elven dialects?

 
At 11:43 AM, Blogger Matador190 said...

No, but I once knew a guy named Pete that could recite the Pledge of Allegiance.

 
At 11:43 AM, Blogger Reformed Centurion said...

My thoughts come in quick bursts.

 
At 11:45 AM, Blogger Reformed Centurion said...

Was this guy's last name Staunavich? Because I think I know him.

 
At 11:46 AM, Blogger Matador190 said...

Yeah, that's the guy! Wow, that's amazing.

 
At 11:47 AM, Blogger Reformed Centurion said...

Hey at the new years party I said you were my moral compass right? Or was it something else? Maybe it was guiding light.

 
At 11:49 AM, Blogger Matador190 said...

No, it was moral compass. I saw you put it on your blog. I am honored.

 
At 11:51 AM, Blogger Matador190 said...

No, the honor is all mine. You can't have any.

 
At 11:51 AM, Blogger Reformed Centurion said...

I am honored that you are honored.

 
At 11:53 AM, Blogger Matador190 said...

For some reason, my response comments are going before yours.

What I said was this:

No, the honor is all mine. You can't have any.

 
At 11:54 AM, Blogger Reformed Centurion said...

Hey, Kevin sends his regards.

 
At 11:54 AM, Blogger Matador190 said...

Well, I'll send those stinkin regards right back. Get 'em outta my face.

 
At 11:55 AM, Blogger Reformed Centurion said...

I want some honor too.

 
At 11:55 AM, Blogger Matador190 said...

NO, you cannot have any.

 
At 11:55 AM, Blogger Matador190 said...

Go find it somewhere else.

 
At 11:57 AM, Blogger Reformed Centurion said...

Look at that. We have propelled you over fifty comments. Congratulations.

 
At 11:57 AM, Blogger Matador190 said...

Sweet! I've always wanted to reach 50. I'll let you have some honor now.

 
At 11:58 AM, Blogger Reformed Centurion said...

We should go over to Julianne's blog and gum up the works:-)

 
At 9:33 PM, Blogger Reformed Centurion said...

Why!!!

 
At 5:35 PM, Blogger Carson Allen said...

Matador

You should put a chat room on your blog

 
At 5:38 PM, Blogger Carson Allen said...

It might not have been a whale, the Hebrew meaning in the text just means something like a huge sea creature.

So get your money back from whoever sold you that pic. I can sell you one with a pic of a huge sea creature. Just go to my e bay page at

At 5:58 PM, Blogger Matador190 said...

We can put chat rooms on the blogs?

 
At 9:57 PM, Blogger Reformed Centurion said...

Matador

I just sat here reading your comment to Ajlin on Juli's blog. I seriously have not laughed so hard in a long time. You are pure genious.

 
At 10:05 PM, Blogger Reformed Centurion said...

Also what are doing out of bed after midnight.

At 10:03 AM, Blogger Carson Allen said...

gum up the works, well that's what you accomplished. LOL, that comment you left to Ajlin had me rolling of the couch with laughter. Did you think of all that at once?

No chat rooms for our blogs.Sorry, I mislead. I needed to find a way to be graced with the geniousness of the Almighty Matador, maker of magic, by responding to a comment of mine. I knew it would work. Please do not banish me into the realm of sad Pygmy chimps dancing around a Ford Escort for my transgression against your wizardness.

However, another comment to one of my comments would send me into a eutopian nirvana

 
At 10:40 AM, Blogger Matador190 said...

Don't I comment on your comments, Carson? What exactly is a comment of a comment? What if Brian comments on your comment that I commented on? And then Stephen adds his comments, so we have a comment of a comment of a comment comment, comment, comment.

 
At 1:10 PM, Blogger Ana Banana said...

You guys are hilarious! I haven't laughed this hard in a couple of days. I can't wait until you are back, oh magical matador, to see you and R.C. in action.

 
At 1:12 PM, Blogger stephen said...

To add a chatroom go to bravenet.com. And Carson, the pygmy chimps dance around a ferrari, not a beautiful 2000 Ford Escort.

 
At 4:13 PM, Blogger Carson Allen said...

TWO comments in a short sapce of time, and now possibly a comment of a comment of a comment comment, comment, comment.

I will now enter Shangri-la
