Waldoing

So growing up I always heard about these "Waldo" books. And I wondered - why in the world would anybody want to sit for hours and look for this stupid little idiot in a red-and-white stocking hat on a printed page. And so I scoffed and mocked and teased and decided to (at the first opportunity) go and get one of the books. And as I sat down and began looking at it I was completely blown away. At the millions of details given in the pictures, the absurdity of the situations found all over every page, the comic genius needed to be able to think of anything like it. And then I started looking for Waldo AND IT WAS REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, HARD!!!!!!! Now, I'm not the most patient of all people so I will admit that I didn't always find Waldo on every page, and I even 'gasp' looked at the back of the book to find the answers. But I really liked the book(s). Fast-forward to today, I saw the name Waldo in a post on a tech blog I like and I said: "Eureka!!!! I have found it, the perfect nonsensical title to the most retarded blog ever, hurrah!!!!!!,
'I gloat
tirra-lirra-la
Hear Me'
(Family Members are not allowed to answer: but what book is this from?)." So for the present, my new blog name is "Here's Waldo"
on a slightly related note: I'm thinking of changing my sign-in name to Waddles if only for the shock value. thoughts???

As regards daily trivia: I was looking for the music thing, I also accept: hair, statesmen (Beethoven does tend to be a bit of a stretch here though) and wacko's (all to smart for their own good)

Coming Soon: Josh opens up and tells you how he watched a flower grow. Stay tuned for this riveting account.

Is the quote something from Rudyard Kipling?
I like the new name... as for the new handle... ehh... whatever you want josh... it's your life... but that really conjures up some interesting pictures in my mind of you. :)

Need I express my feelings toward your proposed username? Props for a semi-meaningful title. Poops for explaining it.

Have you seen the I Spy books by Jean Marzollo and Walter Wick? They are fun too.
