So for Christmas Russell got me a webbed belt from CK Bradley with a dalmation and a hose on it entitled, "bitches and hose." Frankly I find it hilarious and also, given my heavily engrained prep-tendancies, I really like the belt.
I liked the belt so much, in fact, that I went to the CK Bradley website to see what other belts were for sale when I found that they actually have a monthly contest where you can submit your own idea for their next image to appear on a belt. The prize: 20 belts with your design on them and a $250 gift certificate to their store.
Well, I figured- I am a creative guy- plus I love slacking off. Thus, I created the following design this morning and sent it in:
What about a picture of the Joker and the WSJ emblem written across it...the Wall Street Joker?
Or what about just a donkey?

What is the WSJ symbol?

The belt story needs correction: Russell gave the belt to JP momentarily after I gave JP a nike gym bag (becuase JP would never ever spend his own money on one regardless of the fact that he has been known to carry his running shoes in a plastic bag). Heavily intoxicated JP responded to both our gifts with a grunt and dissapeared to bed. The following day at lunch time, JP thanked me for the great presents I gave him, "especially the belt-- it's really cool". The point here being that no one should ever give JP a present when he's drunk. He will likely fail to remember who gave him the present, and you will also have to clearly explain that the dalmations and the hoses on the belt actually imply "bitches and ho's" before he'll get the gist of the gift. Ahhh JP, never change, you really do make life amusing.

For the record, J.P's skiier motif is still in the running for winner, but it has some tough competition with the 'morning after' belt and 'beer goggles'.
And I am adding 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance' to our CK Bradley office Library. Good inspiration over here....
