ATTENTION all Readers...
We are here to announce the official winner for the October 2007 "guess who's foot" contest. We are honored to present to you a man who has conducted himself in a manner that is worthy of winning the title of "most observant" among our blog readers/commenters. In all honesty, I did not think that we would have a winner for this competition but was pleasantly surprised that someone has proved himself so talented at "reading feet" and studying the stride in which the step was being carried out. Such observance deserves more than a mere blog post but it is our humble way of saying "thank you" for participating and for...winning :)
Mr. James Brian Howell has rightfully guessed that the mysterious foot belongs to Mrs. Carole Clark! That is the correct answer...I'm still baffled how he came to that conclusion...but congratulations Brian. Below is a picture of Brian and a post solely dedicated to him and for him (as promised). Enjoy!!!
First of all, I don't know really how to write a bio about someone who's background is virtually unknown to me but I will endeavour to do him justice.
Brian was born in the year...um, actually I don't know, but has been around long enough to do many interesting things. He started out as the pure joy of his mother's life but with age came the realization to Mrs. Howell that Brian was no ordinary child. Stories abound about all the things that Brian accomplished in his childhood years including, leading his parents to believe that their house was burglarized and that he was kidnapped. On at least two separate occasions he claimed that stray animals were his personal pets even going as far as to have his school phone his parents to come pick a dog up. He also unscrewed all the fuses in the house so that lights couldn't be turned on, chased his dear sweet innocent sister around with a spatula and at least once, hid in the front bushes to scare her half to death upon her return home from the store.
And as if this wasn't enough, he grew up to be even more daringly bold... much to the dismay of his college roommates and various friends. Some of his adulthood escapades include the following... hiding inside a limo that was to pick up a bride and groom....upon opening the door he grabbed the bride and drove off leaving the groom alone on the sidewalk. He also would soak rolls of toilet paper in water and sling them at passers-by in the hallways of his dormitory. He once poured sour milk in the doorway of one of the rooms and penny locked a friend (or maybe it was an enemy) inside to suffer the consequences of smelling the stink for an extended period of time. He also destroyed the hotel room where his newly married sister and her husband were to spend their first honeymoon night...oreos stuck to the window, the heater cranked high, beds stripped of their linen, paper dots flooding their luggage, and spewing out of the air conditioner vents in the car, etc...
OK, you get the picture. Welcome to life with Brian...Living literally on the edge and hanging on for the ride! There's never a dull moment...but we all love it! In all seriousness, we want to express thanks to Brian for his enthusiasm for life and for being such a swell guy.

I'm kinda glad that I didn't guess... I don't want all of my past grievances coming to the surface. :-)
BTW, you left one thing out... Brian and I had the same parole officer years ago. We had a great time!
JK, couldn't resist. :-)
Don't worry Brian, I have to agree with Nikkae, you are a swell guy!
