I recently participated in a game of Pictionary. My team came second (or “first loser” as somebody described it), despite the fact that we had four arts degrees between us.
I was given a particularly challenging word to draw, and I thought I did a smashing job of it. My team disagreed. Travis kindly snapped a photo. My rendering is everything above my finger–we did multiple drawings on every sheet of paper. Can you guess the word? Click for super-sizing:
Hmm…in retrospect it’s not really that clear. Though, in my defense, two people from another team guessed what I was on about.
UPDATE: The correct answer is ‘taxidermy’. So maybe I failed. I did like an alternative suggestion I received by email: “Dance dance critter death edition”, which seems to be in the ballpark of correct.
Jeez, some people are just no good at that game.
It was “Clawpenisovertwohamsterswhiledownhillskierscommitsodomy”, right?
I love your “this is entirely self evident I don’t know how you missed it” face.
You’d be surprised (or maybe you wouldn’t) how often I make that face.
Darren, may I just say — a little cut-out and this is the perfect photo for the top of your blog…

Rascal?
I would have suggested you spend more time on the wall-mounted moose head.
Yes, somebody asked why I’d drawn two buzzards poking their heads through a wall.
To me it just looks like “Yeti has squirrels for dinner”.
That’s funny, somebody else referred to the large figure at left as an abominable snowman.
On the left: An angel (with a protruding butt or potbelly) is holding wings over two squirrels on a table.
On the right: two or more stick figure people trying to (needlessly, one would think) push a woman down a vertical surface.
