Good...

Better...

Best...

I just put some varnish on a few tikis this evening, but the light in the garage makes for crappy pictures of dark tikis. Tiki fans have something to look forward to.

Since there is a lull in the action, I'd like to introduce a new character in season two of the House of Buzz video series:

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Introducing the newest character in the House of Buzz lineup...

Buddy Cat!

Like everybody else here at the House of Buzz, Buddy Cat likes tikis a whole lot.

Buddy Cat lives next door, but he hangs out with me and the dog while his owners are at work during the day. For me, it's like owning a cat without having to feed it or keep a stink box in the house. Sometimes I find him sleeping in the garage at night, and he usually comes in when I'm working at night in the garage.

I call him Buddy Cat because I trained my dog not to attack anything I called buddy. Former pet's names of mine include: Buddy Snake, Buddy Lizard, Big Buddy Lizard, Little Buddy Lizard, and Mini Buddy Lizard. If this cat was not named Buddy cat, my dog would kill it when it swats her in the face like this:

Thank goodness for keywords. If I am ever with my dog and I point at you and call you a "tweaker," you'd better start running, real fast. I figured that would be a good attack word for her because nobody would care if my dog took down some tweaker accidently.
In the episode where I introduce Buddy Cat, I show how I trained him to find good carving wood. Here he is in action:

For those of you who may have read about the other new character in the trade publications, I'm sorry to say...

Buddy Dove's scenes were cut from the final edit of season two's episodes. It seems the test audiences didn't find his story compelling enough to include. He may make the outtakes DVD, though. To tell you the truth, we didn't really hit it off that well and our relationship seemed contrived, which it was. Damn producers and their inclusive tendencies!

Look for more House of Buzz videos soon!

TDuddy: Let me tell you about my neighbors...
When I first moved in, I used to have band practice over here a few days a week and I played my drums all of the time. It's actually quieter now that I'm doing this.The neighbor closest to my work area didn't know I was carving back there for the first 16 months. He is a bass player, and his grandson has a drum set over there, so he makes as much noise as I do, if not more. The house next to him is a house that these people use only for parties. They always have loud bands and dj's and are noisy, but only on weekend nights. The rest of the time it is empty. The house on the the other side of me has one of the last original residents on this block, and she is very old. According to her, I saved her life one time. I don't think I saved her life, but i did help her out a few years ago when she fell down and was trapped in her garage. Since then, she's been my good buddy. But, most of the time, she's at her sister's house in Arizona. She also has those magic noise blocking windows. She just can't remember my name. She calls me the name of a guy who lived here last in 1968. Eventually I just started saying the wrong name was my name.

GROG: Definitely!

Spermy: I'd hope Buffy was trained in Jujitsu and would pull full guard on me(the movie Buffy, not the other TV Buffy)when we started fighting. Then I'd employ the "lay and pray" ride her out to victory fight strategy. That would be fun, and to let a woman win simply because she was a woman is sexist and discriminatory. Letting a woman win based upon her gender would be denying women the rights their feminist revolutionaries fought so strongly for in the past. So if you do not want to be labeled a bigot and a sexist, you need to start trying to beat women up when they start fights with you. Don't let GROG discourage you, you'll be able to take a chick in a fight someday. Just start out with scrawny chicks with colds to get a few wins under your belt and build your confidence. i can train you if you want...

Good Neighbor Buzzy Out!
