Post with Photos
OK, fine. They don't know how to spell "soothe." Honest mistake. But how do they misspell their own product?
Here I am bringing sexy back at the wedding a couple of weeks ago (photo copyright 2007 Backel Photography). Ignore the fact that my tie is a bit off center, concentrate on my hotness instead. The girl next to me is the one who was like 10 months pregnant at the ceremony, the black dress and flowers hid it well (not that pregnancy is something to be hidden). I blocked out her face because not everyone is ready for the attention that comes with being pictured on omarphillips.net.
We've been having a little spider problem in the Phillips' household. As in, everything that doesn't move for 10 consecutive minutes has a spider web and a spider on it. Here's one who established residence in my bathroom:
Though I'm not a fan of most non-human creatures, particularly insects and arachnids, I was OK with this guy. Once you get a little better perspective, you might see why. Here's the same guy in a different photo. I said it was a "little spider problem," didn't I?
And here I am, still coughing, while typing this very post.

Ooh, am I first?
For a minute there, I thought you had cornrows. Until I realized it was just words over the picture.
Phew!
Maybe the person who put up the letters on the Wendy's sign had been sipping the sauce. You know how drunk people always leave out their t's
"I wanna frosy!" *hic*

Wha??? 10 mon---that's a magic dress! I must have it!!!
Anyway, yea sure, you blocked out her face, but what about the rest of the guests milling about in the background? Have you no concern for their privacy?
My advice? Call them RIGHT NOW and tell them to hire some damn good publicists/bodyguards. I will begin stalking shortly.

We had a spider in the corner of our bathroom. I used to feed it captured roly poly bugs(oh noes NOT Roly Poly Olie!). One day, it up and died of mysterious causes. Coincidentally, that was the same week we all got sick from a chili cook off.
Know what was funny, Omar? NCS has a NO MEN ALLOWED policy for her blog, and I asked, "What about Omar? He's a manly man, for sure." NCS said, "Oh, that's different. It's just Omar." I'm envisioning a line of cologne.....JUST OMAR

I would like to trade you problems. Currently, we're having an ant problem. I think that's putting it mildly. I keep waking up in different parts of the house as they try to carry me outside. I'm usually not a violent person, but on more than one occasion, I've shook my fist in anger at them...
Seriously, let's talk about a swap.
Also, I'm having trouble figuring out where the attention is being directed at this wedding. Was there like a main stage with all the big stuff going on, then a bunch of secondary stages with all sorts of other events going on? There seems to be no common focus amongst the background folks.

But that contact lens case is actually six feet across, so... yeah. Perspective.
And will someone please buy Wendy's a vowel? Then they can spin again and make more T.
I said:
Carrot - I have never had cornrows. Dreadlocks, yes. Cornrows, never.
Nadia - I'll see what I can do about stealing the magic dress.
Elastic - No men allowed? I don't know whether to be honored or concerned. Am I not considered a man? Or am I just that cool of a man, that I'm allowed? She's going to have some explaining to do when she returns.
Jon - The spiders actually wouldn't bother me that much, if I wasn't walking through a new web every 10 seconds. Like, I can walk into a bathroom, wash my hands, and then walk through a spider web in the SAME DOOR I had used to get in the bathroom 30 seconds earlier. That said, at least they haven't tried to move me yet.
Regarding the wedding, this photo was taken at the end of the ceremony, when we were walking back up the aisle. The bride and groom were ahead of us, so once they passed, nobody cared what else was going on (which is why they're looking all over the place).
RaJ - I run through saline solution faster than most people, but the novelty of having a six-foot contact lens case hasn't worn off yet.

But that’s a baby spider. Baby spiders are harmless, right?
Thanks EWBL! Ok, so fine, I don’t have boy bloggers because… well, I just don’t. But you are ok ‘cause even though you are obviously a manly man (in spite of the dyson mommy no skirt incident), you are cool and all that.
So you should be honored, so much in fact that you want to give me at least 10 cool points.

i'm sorry, i couldn't get past "Frosy." you don't even need a dictionary for that, it's printed right on the drive-through menu and lit up.
good lord.
Special K- Toni said:
Yay! I am official as cool as Omar! I have the same contact case!
Yeah- I'm a dork! ;)

Doctors.
Don't know why I just said that...must be thinking about work. *rolls eyes*
Ewwww to the arachnid. You did look GOOD at the wedding - very styling - congratulations to the bride and groom.
Syar said:
How close did you have to get to the scary wee spider to get that detailed picture?
You did take the super close, daring picture yourself, didn't you?
Syar said:
You look dashing in the tux btw. Even if you are scared of wee spiders.
Syar said:
HOLD THE PHONE!!
Dreadlocks? You had dreadlocks?
Is there photo evidence of the aforementioned dreadlocks?
I'm imagining you dreadlocked now. Hee. Hee, hee.
Hee.

Ya know, I've seen you around Omar at all my friend's blogs. I kept askin' myself "Who is this Omar person??" I decided I should pay you a visit. So, here I am. YAY me! If you're cool enough for NCS (my online twin ya know!) then you're cool enough for me. ;)
