bode: verb (pronounced bo•dee): to quit and not even care. The marathoner chose to bode the race after only 15 miles. You can also pull a bode or bode out.

Does it bother you that Bode Miller threw away his golden opporturnity to shine at the Winter Olympics and doesn't seem to care?

At that moment, Johnny had no idea that his mom was wearing catnip perfume.

Have you ever been stalked by an animal?

THE ANATOMY OF A POST
From where do ideas come?









When I photographed these two cats, I was instantly reminded of the poster for Brokeback Mountain.The first thing that I did was remove the background using the magic eraser in Photoshop. Next, using the lasso tool, I carefully traced around the edges of the black cat and flipped him horizontally so that he would face away from the other cat. Flipping the black cat, however, presented a new problem because part of his back was now missing in this orientation. So using the clone stamp tool, I cloned the rest of his back by targeting similar parts of his body. When the clone stamp tool left a poor transition, I blended the new with the old using the smudge tool.

Then I added the cowboy hats that I shot to match the correct orientation of the cats. Using the lasso tool again, I traced around the black cat's ear. Then I place the hat on his head and pasted the ear in front of it.

Next I used the gaussian blur filter to put a soft focus on the photo that I took of Mount Rainer, pasted the cats over it and added the dialog bubbles.

Finally, I turned the Photoshop file into a jpeg and used the smudge tool along the edges of the cats and their hats to make them as seamless as possible.

Good friends come in all shapes and sizes.
