Perhaps you are looking for a costume. Look no further. The "Uncle Rhubarb" mask is your answer. Not only will people throw candy at your feet and drinks in your face . . . it will also give you funnier looking ears than you already have.<br /><br />If you couldn't tell, it's a mask of Uncle Rhubarb. I wore it for Halloween a couple times. So I know it works. Anyone can make a mask with this. That doesn't mean anyone will . . . but if anyone actually does, I'd love to see some pictures.<br /><br />The image is hi-res and you can resize it to fit your head. You'll need a printer the size of your face.<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.dylansisson.com/news/uploaded_images/Uncle_Rhubarb_Mask_by_Mr_Sisson-717273.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://www.dylansisson.com/news/uploaded_images/Uncle_Rhubarb_Mask_by_Mr_Sisson-716119.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5489024592724365132-3825323101903267124?l=www.dylansisson.com%2Fnews%2Fmr.sisson.html' alt='' /></div>Mr. Sissonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01350207932909483381noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489024592724365132.post-52617139694192306972007-07-24T12:52:00.000-07:002008-03-14T13:03:32.524-07:00The Random iPhone Gallery<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.dylansisson.com/news/uploaded_images/iphone-web2-724252.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://www.dylansisson.com/news/uploaded_images/iphone-web2-724241.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>The Random IPhone Gallery randomly fades between a menagerie of Mr. Sisson's critters your iphone. Now you can show off the graphics on your iphone with creepy style.<br /><br />Maybe it's a bit geeky, but the random gallery could be interesting to anyone who wants to make their own iphone galleries. It is based on "<a href="http://smoothgallery.jondesign.net/">Smooth Gallery</a>" created by Jonathan Schemoul. Smooth Gallery is a javascript based slideshow that is covered under GPL. This version of the "Smooth Gallery" was modified for the specifications of the iphone.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5489024592724365132-5261713969419230697?l=www.dylansisson.com%2Fnews%2Fmr.sisson.html' alt='' /></div>Mr. Sissonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01350207932909483381noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489024592724365132.post-43893293005957730362007-07-15T20:45:00.000-07:002008-03-14T13:05:08.646-07:00New - The Son of BlogIt's officially online.
