Classical Values' affordable mystery

Last night, at an undisclosed location, two thirds (debatably, maybe three quarters) of the Classical Values staff met for beer and dinner. I took my camera along, and the camera took a few pictures of Dennis. I am not quite sure how to interpret these pictures, and in order to maintain utmost confidentiality I'll just have to let them speak for themselves in the order the camera took them.


In the first photo, Dennis (every bit the classical scholar) seems to have made a significant discovery:

But this was soon overshadowed by the interpretation of a mysterious inscription on a metal box:

Finally, a payment of some sort was made:

Would it be reading too much into the picture to characterize Dennis's expression as Sphinx-like?

The camera took a few pictures? All by itself? I want one of those! ;)

Hee hee!

(I'm glad someone saw through my transparent attempt to avoid transparency!)

You let a man with a soulpatch blog on your site? Tsk, tsk.

Things are worse than you can imagine.

I'm afraid you don't know the least of it.

soul patch?

I just thought Dennis had an unfortunate incident with a black Sharpie.

Can anyone be sure that I didn't PhotoShop it on?

Eric Scheie   ·  July 23, 2005 03:58 PM

How distressing this all is!

That which defines my identity held up to such scrutiny!

Maybe I'll get a tattoo instead.

j/k

You mean, if I Photoshop your appearance, I can redefine your identity?

You guys live in Jersey right? I'm going to have to swing by one of your bashes some day.

Beck   ·  July 24, 2005 08:11 AM

John, consider yourself invited! But Jersey is across the bridge, and I'm scared of the place because of their insane gun control laws....

Dennis looks very good. You're not going to see what I look like if I can help it, ha! ha!

Phily then? I eat at the City Tavern every chance I get.
