ArcoJedi's Dastardly Plan

Plankton: Lord knows I've tried. I've exhausted every evil plan in my filing cabinet... from A to Y!
Karen the Computer: A to Y?
Plankton: Yeah, A to Y. You know, the alphabet.
Karen the Computer: What about Z?
Plankton: Z?
Karen the Computer: Z... The letter after Y...
Plankton: W, X, Y... Z. Plan Z! Here it is, just like you said.

As I was driving to work one day, the mileage on my 1997 Chevrolet Lumina rolled over 120,000 miles. That car was pretty well built.

Originally uploaded by ArcoJedi.
Here are me and my friends being stupid. This was the Halloween party at Quincy University's North Campus where I helped in a group that organized the event and set up our haunted house.

That's me in the middle as the Grim Reaper, Randy Smith on the right as Dracula and Dave Roman on the left as a personality we will call "Apple Basket".

I very much do like Halloween.

There's me getting ready to kill a styrofoam target at the archery range. This was taken at the S bar F Boy Scout Ranch south of St. Louis, Missouri. I was visiting with my dad, who was a scout master of my old Troop 572. This was around 1997 or so, if I have to guess.

Get ready for on-the-job training. I believe that J.D. took this photo, though I'm not sure. You can see my daughter's artwork and photos on the wall in front of my desk and comics on my right.

Product placement fees for this photo have been paid for by McDonalds. LOL!

This was Jon's Bachelor Party. This was taken at the bar at Crest Bowl Lanes in Florissant, Missouri. That was a fun night, with Jon doing very bad Karaoke and hitting everything with the darts except the dart board.

This photo has been edited to remove a really annoying light/sign in the background. I'll probably upload the original someday, just for comparison.

Thanks to Sears photo for this picture. Just as an aside, when you get Sears portraits, they put the photos on their site to preview, but they use JavaScript to block you from simply right-clicking and downloading the image. Of course, in most browsers, you can disable JavaScript and then... well, not like I would do anything like that.

This is a print ad I created during my time as the webmaster at the Ferguson-Florissant School District. The sorority gives away this award every year to selected teachers within the district. The school administration wanted to pay for a half-page ad in the sorority's newsletter for the award ceremony. I was approached about creating this and took it on immediately. This was the result.

The number is current 1146045. Oh well. I know, let me see what happens if I change the mode on this and post it again.
