Credit Where Credit is Due

When would think reading the recent comment from Alexis in Amsterdam, that total credit for the fearsome visage of de-Intimdator was her creation. Actually the history is more complicated.

The original image was a candid shot taken some time in the 80's by Wife. The motivation has been lost in history but if you can imagine raising a household with motherrocker, Pulisha, and Alexis in Amsterdam as being some sort of 50's family sitcom, you would be wrong. I think the Osbournes would have been closer. Hence any slightly deviante behavior I my part is totally understandable.

This image would have safetly rested in anonymity amongst the thousands of other family pictures except for (now we get to the A in A part) Alexis going to France as a junior in high school as part of a Rotary Club program. A student was supposed to bring pictures of the family. And which picture did AinA bring? Of course the one with the celery in the nose. This was evidently the cause of much mirth among French Rotarians.

Moving forward to the present, I had enlisted the aid of motherrocker and her husband Harvey Finkelstein in getting me into the blogosphere. We were in Chicago when this happened and the original picture was not available. Not wanting to wait because I anticipated problems getting the picture uploaded (I have trouble with any technology more complicated than a stone axe), I enlisted the aid of Wife and motherrocker. The final picture was selected was actually taken by Wife...So don't try and deny your complicity! And it was added to the blog with the assistance of Harvey.

The record is now clear.

that's true, you look a lot more professional in this photo. Pretty sure in the original you're not wearing a tie.
