O-H

If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don't work there.If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time. If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number.If "Vacation" means going anywhere south of Philadelphia for the weekend.If you measure distance in hours.If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once.If you have switched from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day and back.If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching.If you install security lights on your house and garage, but leave both unlocked.If you carry jumpers in your car and your wife knows how to use them.If you design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph -- you're going 80 and everybody is passing you.If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction.If you have more miles on your snow blower than your car.If you find 10 degrees "a little chilly”.

If you were at the 2006 Roast chances are you're somewhere in this picture. This is the second one I took and it's a lot less blurry than the first. As I say in my description, it's hard to stand steady when you've been drinking since 10am and be sure to click on all sizes so you can play "Where's Waldo". Also next year we may have to take the picture from the other angle (i.e. up-hill vs down hill; Thanks George!).

The real point of this post is to encourage you to upload your pictures to the OPR Flickr Group. I know I wasn't the only one who took a group pic, and it'd be nice to see how someone esle's pic came out. George and Melinda took some sweet black and white pics... real photo-journalist quality. Anyhoo... don't be afraid to share.

OPR Group Photo

Yesterday I finally had a couple of hours to process all the pictures and video taken at the pig-roast. My pics have been uploaded to flickr... you can check em out here. I uploaded all the raw footage as well as a few edited pictures... cropped and touched up a bit using picasa. I also took about six videos, which I'll slowly release through youtube (setting up a you tube account is a quick and easy solution to upload video and add it to the blog through their embedded video players; the compression kinda hurts the video quality but at least it's free).

I had a great time at the roast... despite Jimmy's brand spanking new IPod getting stolen! If anyone was around the porch area late night and saw anything, knows anything, or took pictures on the dance floor let someone associated with the pig-roast know. Throwing the best party of the year is not worth it if some asshole feels the need to steal.

I know a lot of people were taking pictures all around the roast... so seriously if you see something strange, someone all alone on the porch... email the picture to ohiopigroast@yahoo.com... let's try and track down some info.

Otherwise, share your pictures and upload them to flickr then add them to the OPR group.

A wonderful year

Thanks to all involved for a great pig roast. I had a blast and it looked like everyone else did as well. Job well done. I'll see you all soon.

True Celebrity Ballers like Jerome Betis will be kicking it at Evil-Donk's crib tonight. We'll be re-vamping the play list so throw down some requests in the comments. Apparently Snoop Dogg is making the trip from Long Beach (He heard how sweet Jim's Basement is and couldn't resist a trip to the C-Bus). Also be sure to upload all of your celebrity sightings to the OPR Flickr Group.
