HEY BLOG FANS! - I've mentioned previously on my blog that one of our favorite pastimes is watching the Planet Earth documentaries on long bus drives. There are so many sweet animals on this planet, but two of my favs are the giraffe and the narwhal. As everyone knows, you can't have two favorites of something and i cant decide which animal is cooler. so to solve my dilemma, i'm enlisting YOU, the blog fan! There will be a contest to see who can come up with the best picture of a combination of the giraffe and narwhal. i went ahead and did my own as an example and it looks something like an underwater super-unicorn:
send your entries to narwhalgiraffe@yahoo.com
i will post the top 3 designs. the winning design will be tattooed on my forehead. ok, maybe not. extra points if you can put a bowl of cereal in the picture too. go have fun!
EDIT: Thanks for your entries! The contest is now over.
nice! too bad i suck at that stuff.
ReplyDeleteinstead of tattooing it to your forehead you should make a costume and use it as a rental for kids birthday party. I'm sure they'd all love him, so much better than a purple dinosaur, it pones Barbey.
ReplyDeletewow i can't spell i meant Barney.
ReplyDeletegarbo you rock
ReplyDeletei have to go create my Narwhaffe now...
Love your blog...I have my Photoshop open as we speak.
ReplyDeleteIf you really love Narwalls and find yourself in Richmond, VA with some time on your hands you should visit Maymont. They have the most awesome vanity made of Narwall ivory (harvested a long time ago, thankfully.) It is very cool, and very rare (made by L.C. Tiffany.) They also have a little zoo there, and lots of wonderfully old trees.
Garbo.
ReplyDeleteyou never cease to amaze me.
that obese thing scares me.
ReplyDeleteDuh…I am the worst speller in the world (I have a certificate and everything.)
ReplyDeleteNorwall = Narwhal which I also believe is the plural form.
Garbo, you are my hero.
ReplyDeleteBring it on!!!!
ReplyDeleteI plan on having the best
Well at atleast I hope I will have a good one
I just sent mine in!
ReplyDeleteIt terrifies me.
i can't tell if you're serious
ReplyDeletei'm making one anyway
Garbo, you entertain me to the max. I met you at the Atlantic City concert, doubt if you remember. But any who... gotta go make that picture..
ReplyDeletewow ok so i wish i could say that i would pone at this but....nope! sorry hahah
ReplyDeleteOoh, comments. Intriguing, Greg! Yours is one of my top five blogs for sure. Oh, who am I kidding, you're #1!
ReplyDeleteIf you're not already familiar with Archie McPhee, check out this:

Narwhales are probably my favorite animal in the history of forever. Theres nothing i like more than i giant underwater unicorn.
ReplyDeleteIm for sure gonna do this, and when i come to your show on the 5th, you better have a narwhale tatoo on your forehead.
Oh and i second the archie mcphee store trip, i've been there loads of time since i live in seatlle. Its Amazing, and they have bandages that look like strips of bacon.

ohhh, Garbo, I feel that I should ask this...
Could you go to the meet and greet on March 1 in Hidalgo?
I made a shirt for you, and I want you to see it.
:]]]]]
I'm pretty sure my entry deserves to be tattooed on somebody's forehead.
ReplyDeleteIs it bad that I didn't even know a Narwhal was an animal?
ReplyDeleteI just thought it was a band's name.
ahahah
Okay Garbo, I made mine, and sent it.
ReplyDeleteHahaha. probably won't pick mine, but whatever.

But the real question is...can you make a picture with a platapus (my favorite animal), and a purple tiger??
ReplyDeleteBut there is a problem....Giraffes dont exist. I have proof, which is this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLpDVQUhiX0

ReplyDeleteOH! i just thought of a prize, possibly, maybe.
ReplyDeletebesides it being tattooed on your head, you can like, read their blog, if they have one. =D
okno.
xP
wowness.
ReplyDeleteYou know your blog idea is amazingly cool when Mike Schmid, the kin of blogs, comments it.
hahaha at the dc concert there was a girl who was in love with him. But she didn't get a picture because.. I don't know why. I guess she was afraid or something. But it was fine by me because I just got a picture with him the next day in baltimore. You sure did a lot of walking that day. I'm always amazed when people don't go, "LOOK! ITS GARBO! A MEMBER OF THE COOLEST BACKUP BACK EVERRRRR!".
Oh! I was just reading some book for school and there was a place called Garbo mansion. haha I found that funny.
oooo you deleted someone's comment. don't delete mine, ok?
hahh. not gonna lie, i think mine is pretty boss (but thats just because my only talent is making things on paint). also, im thinking you should follow through with that tattoo idea. atleast get it on your arm or something. i would.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I would just like to let you know, that you've inspired me.
ReplyDeleteToday in class, we had to do an evolution project for geology, and pick two animals and describe how they would look together.
Guess what two I chose.
i forgot to mention.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.noisebot.com/narwhal_t-shirt

Which Wednesday?
ReplyDeleteWhich Midnight?
Oh no! I procrastinated and now I'm too late. :(
ReplyDeletesoo for fine arts we needed a group name and we decided to be. "Garbo's Ladies."
ReplyDeleteI hope thats ok with you. =]
garbo!!!
ReplyDeletehurry up and post the winner!
i didn't enter but i want to see which one you picked
its probably: you sitting on a girwhal and you both are eating cereal. =D
wow i should have dressed up in my narwhal costume and took a picture of myself in a mirror..
ReplyDeleteit's currently hung up in the closet.. right next to my big foot costume.
I no your contest is over but this is pretty much the best hah :D click lamp :)
ReplyDeletelookin' good on leno. :)
ReplyDeletecan't wait for the contest results!
Im commenting again on this one since for some reason you dont have comments on your new post.
ReplyDeleteWell anyway, I am totally psyched i got 3rd, and to be honest his body really did remind me of a meatball when i was drawing him, hahah. Well anyway you have completely made my day, and possibly my life.
Im still trying to win some backstage passes to the everett show, and if i get some im going to bring you the original framed, so the beauty of the naraffe can live on forever.
I hope you have a super duper fantastic day Garbo!! See you in 18 days!

Hey, Garbo!
ReplyDeleteYou are so awesome! So awesome, I included you into one of my Jonas Brothers fan fictions! W00t! :)
I love writing. If you ever get bored, or just want to see what the fan fiction is, you're welcome to check it out. myspace.com/dreamingjonas It would be awesome if you read my fan fiction. But you don't have to if you don't want to.
The fan fiction your in is called "Two Hours and Forgotten". It's alright. My favorite one I wrote is "Jonas Tribe". It's pretty funny, and intense! LOL.

Dear Mr. Garbowsky,
ReplyDeleteI am pleased to inform you that, due to your interest in the futures of girwhals as a species, you have been chosen to receive a free package of girwhal burgers as part of a special promotional offer.
This new burger meat was developed by two teenage girls who decided to revert back to their kindergarten days in their final hours of spring break. They followed a children’s recipe involving ground beef and onion soup mix cooked in a baking pan, but unfortunately, the cookie cutters they attempted to use to cut their burger patties into delightful shapes failed them miserably. Instead, they decided to employ their creatively-trained minds to come up with their own unique designs, and the girwhal burger is the result of many successful years of art classes.
Also, in case you have any concerns, you may be assured that this product does not contain peanuts.
We have included several pictures so you can feast your eyes upon the delectable girwhal burger, which should hopefully satisfy any cravings you may have while you wait for your meat to arrive.
Pictured here is a plain girwhal burger. We have included a reference outline in case you cannot see the resemblance.
The girwhal burger also comes in the spotted variety. Please note that not all spotted burgers come with a detached leg.
Everyone loves the girwhal burger, even its creators!
Your burgers should arrive within eleven to forty-three days. We would appreciate any feedback you have about our product.
Sincerely,
Wally Raffe
President of G-N-Meats, Inc.
garbo. woww. LOVE your posts. they entertain us so much.<333 specially steveeee. DUDEE! <3
