This morning I said "Command Me" (http://goo.gl/Janvi) and boy did people listen. +Cytia Beata commanded, "Take a picture of today's sunset at your place and post it here on G+. It is enough if it is just from some place in your town."
It wasn't a really great night for a sunset but I managed to capture this pic! π
In my "Command Me" post from this morning (http://goo.gl/Janvi), +Tim Clary commanded, "Bullwinkle and Rocky cartoons on your page. Preferablly with Boris and Natasha clips. Make it happen!"
Here 'ya go Tim! Plus, since "on your page" could also be interpreted as my profile, I added Boris and Natasha to one of my images there also. π
From this morning's post where I told followers to "Command Me" (http://goo.gl/Janvi), +Halfdan Reschat commanded, "Take a photo of +Keith Cramer in a compromising/embarrassing position/situation."
The setup: I got +Christy Pemberton to help me out at the office. We grabbed a bag of frozen egg rolls from the freezer (one of our many hats is supplying frozen food products for fundraising) and got another employee to call Keith out to the warehouse. Christy's goal was to put the egg rolls up/down his shirt/pants or whatever she could accomplish.
What happened: Keith walked into the warehouse and Christy jumped him from behind with the bag of frozen egg rolls. She did not get a good hold and Keith countered the egg rolls and they became locked in mortal combat. Simultaneously to all this I jumped out from behind a pallet of cardboard boxes and promptly bumped my cell phone camera putting it into "special modes" and somehow ending up in black and white. By this time, with Christy locked on and determined to not let me down, Keith had flipped her upside down while still staying away from the frozen egg rolls. I managed to get this photo.
Final: I think, with flipping over an employee in the warehouse you manage, who is female and not your wife, while fighting to keep frozen egg rolls from being placed up/down your shirt/pants while other employees look on in bewildered amusement, counts as compromising at least. It is also a photo of Keith in an embarrassing situation; it just so happens to be Christy's embarrassment. π
I hope new followers understand the weirdness in this stream today. I asked people to "Command Me" this morning (http://goo.gl/Janvi). +Jim Gomes wanted to get all tricky and commanded me, "Rub my feet." This was immediately followed by +Mai'ta L'yeya Nava saying, "Good one, I wanna see Mr Smarty Pants pull that one off…"
Being as Jim exists in an undisclosed location impenetrable to mortal men, I can only do what I can do. So, to them, I say, in the spirit of the post, "Achieved! In your face!" π
Oh, and the face is NOT Photshopped. I created an actual +Jim Gomes wearable mask. I do not believe full-on Photoshopping would have met the requirements for the command.
Hm. The syntax is wonky but I'll go with the spirit of it. On my "Command Me" post this morning (http://goo.gl/Janvi) +Nathaniel Russell instructed me to get a sandwich without mayo. Accomplished, and yummy.
Nathaniel: "Make me a sandwich." Scott: "What? Make it yourself." Nathaniel: "Sudo make me a sandwich." Scott: "Okay."
Earlier this morning, I asked people to "Command Me" (http://goo.gl/Janvi). +Aaron Gurish commanded, "Have breakfast, and harass your pet with a piece of string."
(1) I don't have any pets after all my fish died last year. I did, however pull up a cute picture of a hedgehog (tag +Kaydie Wells) playing air guitar. (2) I didn't have any string, but there is an abundance of CAT5 cable in my office. Look at his little face! He loved it! π (3) Slim-Fast for breakfast. Because I like the taste (but only the Rich Chocolate Royale).
So, yet another of my "Command Me" commands from my post earlier this morning (http://goo.gl/Janvi). +Mai'ta L'yeya Nava said, "Go brush your teeth, young man!" This was more complicated that it seemed since I brush my teeth in the shower. (1) Water + Cell Phones don't mix. (2) Cell phones + showering me don't mix. Solution, careful positioning and aiming of camera into the small mirror I have for shaving. I never noticed how much of a fun-house warping effect it has before today. π
So, I asked followers to "Command Me" in a post this morning (http://goo.gl/Janvi). +Olivio Sarikas told me to ride down the stairs on a piece of cardboard, video it, and post it on G+. Okie dokie.
I'm sitting at the bottom of the stairs with the laptop posting this video. The ride lost structural integrity within the first few steps and I slid most of the way down on a tiny piece of cardboard and my dignity. π
When I hear or read a statement that just absolutely takes the prize for the day, then it goes in the stream! Oh yeah, and none of that confusing context to get in the way. π
Line of the day is from +Mary C. and goes a little something like this:
I'm a Sunshine and Lollypops Steampunk Victorian School Ma'am visionary.

Okay, that's a mouthful. Congrats to +Amanda Rachelle Warren and +Sarah Rodlund for achieving their Kickstarter goal and on their impending road trip through the American South and the book project that will come out of it. π
Apologies for the quickie Photoshop! You two do not keep a lot of head shots for a guy to steal! lol
I absolutely LOVE Phineas and Ferb but the costumes in the live show creep me out! They aren't as bad as "Boots the Monkey" in the live Dora the Explorer show I went to when my daughter was young, but still creepy alien-head-looking things! All cartoons do not translate over well. The kids in the audience seem to love it, though, so in the end that's probably all that counts. We'll have to wait a decade to gather the data on how much therapy was caused. π
If you're new and want to grab a machete, feel free! Use the 1st letter to make a word, use the words to make a sentence. If you use the picture then you get an extra point!
Well played brother. Well played. Editing the footage with the song from Jabba's palace in Return of the Jedi was classic. I take some satisfaction knowing how long you had to stare at that in order to get it all put together! Seriously, kudos for the editing. If I am to live in infamy it should at least be well edited infamy. π
Ah, the poor folks searching for this song on YouTube totally unaware of what they will find… lol
Please make any comments on +Keith Cramer's original post! Lastly, +Kristi Fahlsing made a pretty good Han Solo. π
Meet +Scott Cramer as Princess Leia Hangout Day – The Video
After losing the EPIC build your own Star Wars contest spearheaded by the one and only Overlord +Halfdan Reschat, +Scott Cramer appeared live in a public Google Plus hangout on Saturday the 14th.
The hangout +Halfdan Reschat put together was a great time, a smashing success, and a day that +Scott Cramer will never forget.
I spent about 4 hours editing together some of the highlights from the video I took during +Scott Cramer's hangout as Slave Princess Leia. It just seemed appropriate that the footage be edited together to the song Lopti Nek performed by the Max Rebo band in Jabba's palace.
It took a little longer to finish the video than I planned, so i'm posting it a little later than I want. I'm probably going to miss the majority of my target users since it's going up so late. Do me a favor and tag anyone in who may be interested!
