Man Makes Trek To Jack-A-Mecca

A strange and sometimes vulgar man got in his car and drove a gazillion miles to see the Jackelope. He's a super good guy, but I can only assume that a touch of insanity lurks in his brain-holder.
My kinda guy.
The only thing that bummed me out was that he wouldn't help make larger antlers.


freak-man, freak-man and jackelope
So it seems that this entire project is taking much longer than I imagined. I've got some family stuff and some work stuff going on that is going to put a halt to progress for the next few weeks.

The simplicity of this 'lope is something else that slows me down... I'm focusing on the great friggin huge 3-d 'lope and not spending enough time with the little twenty-footer.

Jackelope Hunter

Jackelope Chalkboard

I am not posting todays work on the 'Lope. I fear retalliation from the folks of Douglas. I believe that they may be sending operatives to Weaverville to destroy the World's Largest Jackelope so that they may retain their title.

I had a few minutes to kill today, so I threw together this Jackelope Chalkboard. He stands about four feet tall. The directions on the ChalkBoard paint say that I gotta wait three days before writing on the surface with chalk, so, needless to say, I'm kinda bummed.

Perks Won't Stop Me!

The town of Douglas tried to bribe me with aJackelope Hunting License good for only one day. They will only allow me to hunt on June 31 between sunrise and sunset. Anyone with half a brain know that those are the hours that 'Lopes hide in caverns deep underground and are nearly impossible to catch. The hours between midnight and closing time are the hours to kill a 'Lope. The Moonshine hours are THE ONLY TIME TO HUNT.

Such perks will not work on this man. No. Not a chance. I will continue to build The World's Largest Jackelope. They may try to bribe me to end construction, but nothing short of a Jackelope pelt suit could stop me.

I will also Lobby to make sure that it is spelled with an "E" and not an "A" between Jack and Lope.

I have a crew coming over tomorrow to help hand the ears and horns. Much heavy machinery will be delivered at sun-up.

First Contact

Sweet, yet threatening. Note the lack of an emblem on the stationary. I think that they are afraid of me. They fear having a smaller Jackelope than I. I can pity them for their envy. C'Mon- Let's get real here. It ain't the motion of the ocean, it is the size of the horned rat.

Artiste Shot

I burned some of the wood scraps from the night we cut out the jackelope shape. I took this picture and thought it was fun.
Here it is for you to enjoy.

Not In The Face!!!

The Eyeballs got started today. I've gotta make them a little more creepy. It was the first dry day in some time and I was pretty excited about pulling the tarp off of the monster. I tightened up some of the black work and painted over the body- I wasn't happy with it. I would like the body to be even more Garfield-like.


Here's the face. I'm off to a good start, I guess. He looks malformed and creepy, so that's good enough for me.

Remember that the face you are looking at is six feet tall.

Anybody have any experience building big fiberglass and foam structures? I'll be needing some advice shortly after finishing up this guy.

Gmail accounts still available if you email me.

More Rain

Phooey! Construction halted due to rain. It seems like it will never quit. Too bad the sucker is too big to fit in the house.

In other news, Gmail has more than doubled email storage. They are now over two gigs. I'm at 2050 megabytes and climbing. Want an account?
