The birth of (half of a) Flat John Kerry

Saturday, August 21, 2004



Just gonna tell this story in BFA comments, okay?

big...

heavy...

sigh!

I was just talking to my mom on the phone, and she was reading something to me about an AARP RV tour thing (that she and my dad won't be attending). It involved a chance to learn about the candidates, and you could have your picture taken with a life-size cardboard cutout of a candidate. Mom was wondering, I guess, if Demetrius had anything to do with creating one of those.

Now Demetrius is working on another attempt to create a Flat John Kerry. I ventured back to the Kerry-Edwards site to try to find good pictures. Of John Kerry.

What an absolutely soul-sucking experience.

I might need a drink now.

Soul-sucking why? Please elaborate.

Also soul-sucking is one of my favorite words :)

Aw, man--post 1 a.m. is not a good time for me to try to elaborate on anything. And on top of that, my soul has been sucked.

Best I can do at this hour...

don't like that man (click)
don't like looking at that man (click)
but he needs to win (click)
but I don't *believe* these slogans on these pages (click)
but he still *really* needs to win (click)
but I'm looking at rally pictures, and they don't "rally" me (click)
that should be Howard, dammit (click)
but this schmuck still needs to win...

I passed on the drink, though. Just went to the link jc posted (Dean pictures by John Pettit), and it made me smile again.

Off to bed. Demetrius, my husband of 17 years, father of my children, is at his desk working on a John Kerry image. And when I say "working on", I don't mean putting a cartoon villian mustache or little horns on it.

Sigh. This is just so, well, Howardly of him.

BWAAAA HA HA!!! It's ALIVE!!! IT'S ALIVE!!!!!

OK. Just sort of... Click my name for a Flat John Kerry poster to cut out and attach to foam core or cardboard. He's perfect for your next tabling event. Or, you can just stick him with the check at an expensive restaurant! (Just make sure his back is to the wall.)

I will work on a version in pieces to print at home for free.

Why would anyone need to make another flat Kerry? Demetrius is a genius, but even he can't make a Flat Kerry that's as flat as the real Kerry.

Demetrius appreciates all your kind words, as well as your humor. Click my name for the free, printable version of Flat John.

I liked the one of Kerry throwing the football better.

But this one looks more Presidential.

Great job, Demetrius.

He'd be good for the noogies alone!
How to make a two dimensional image of a one dimensional man???
Just ask Demetrius! He HAS the Technology...and He KNOWS how to use it!
Kudo's to you both!
Glad to know Some ABBers will be taking barf bags into the polls rather than just riding their high horses and telling the rest of us to "Shut up. Just Shut UP!"
You two give me Hope.
Tho every time i think Kerry could redeem himself and doesn't i'm more sure he's the wrong choice, no matter the reason.

I haven't eaten at a *really* good restaurant for a *really* long time.

The idea of sticking half a Flat John with the check makes me smile almost as much as if Howard was the nominee and 30 points up in the polls right now.

Good job, Demetrius!

soul sucking - I know just what you mean - I searched for photos for Demetrius too and I went thru like 23 pages of google images and it was rather depressing so I gave up.

you did a fabulous job, thank you. ''tis so very Howard of you, indeed!
