So I was gmail chatting with Jacquie the other day and we started discussing the naming of her blog. Below is the conversation minus parts that are not related to the post at hand.
Jacquie: "You and Karl both make me feel like a million bucks."
me: "Well, you deserve it. You give it right back to us."
Jacquie: "I do? Good. I didn't think I did but I love you both. I have considered renaming my blog 'TO KAP AND KARL, WITH LOVE' or something."
me: "HA HA HA!!!!"
Jacquie: "But I didn't want to make the very few others that actually read my blog too jealous."me: "I'll photoshop a To Wong Foo poster to show us instead as your banner."
Jacquie: "AWESOME! YOU should! That would rock."
me: "'To Kap and Karl... thanks for everything, Jax!' instead of 'To Wong Foo... thanks for everything, Julie Newmar'."
Jacquie: "Sweet, but wouldn't the photoshopped pic have to be u 2 in drag? that would be even better."
me: "Put our faces on two of the others. We each have enough photos up that I could steal something easily enough. I'll never actually dress in drag. Unless there's a lot of money involved. Or liquor."
Jacquie: "Well, that's good to know."me: "Not my thing."
So I started working on it.
Then Karl came online and I sent him an e-mail...
Me: "Just so you know, you're John Leguizamo."
Karl: "Yeah, um, how's that?"
Me: "Jax and I were chatting and she mentioned how, at one point, she was planning on renaming her site, 'for kap and karl, with love.' Reminded me of To Wong Foo, so I offered to make a variant movie poster for her featuring you and I and the saying 'To Kap and Karl... thanks for everything, Jax.' So far as my photoshop job currently stands, you are John Leguizamo in the poster. You do look good, though."
Karl: "Ha! Gotta see that when you're done, dude."
Me: "I found the perfect picture of you for the job. Want to see a sneak preview? It's pretty good."
Karl: "hell yeah!"
Me: "Still tweaking, but here you go..."[I sent him a copy that just showed him with Patrick Swayze and Wesley Snipes]
Karl: "LOL, dude, that's too funny."
Me: "Tell me that picture of you doesn't fit in perfectly."
Karl: "Oh, it does! Are you going to be Wesley Snipes? ha."
Me: "I haven't decided yet. I wasn't sure if I should be Patrick or the token black transvestite."[because what movie would be complete without a token black transvestite, right?]
Karl: "Wesley would be much funnier if you could photoshop your skin color."
Me: "It might wind up looking like one of those really bad early 20th century blackface skits. Probably not a good idea."
Karl: "Heh heh. OK, but if you try it and decide you don't like it, I still wanna see it. OK?"
Me: "No problem. In the meantime, though, the picture I think would work best has almost the same head turn as Patrick's. But it would be fun to be Wesley. Think I should turn Jax into Wesley?"
Karl: "HA! Please do."
So here is the finished product...
I swear I have some weird online conversations.
