the Legendary Boys of Floyd

Ok, for those who have been following us on twitter may have seen some early looks at our new poster we have been working on. It’s a cross section of most coffee shops with the usual suspects replaced by their pop culture counterparts. Sexy barista, dude, hitting on said barista, retired old guys, person working/student, anal customer annoyed by everyone else, secretary bringing in long list of orders, gaggle of younglings. We think it turned out pretty darn cool.

Now here’s the challenge. You like to get things, probably free things, I know I do. We are willing to give away our book “My Underwear Creeps Like Indigenous Vines” to the first person who can successfully identify all the characters (not the actors name, the character they play) in the poster – email your guesses to comics@boysoffloyd.com. You up to the challenge? Ready. Set. Go.

Oh, and if you really want the poster (and we know you do!), you can. We are putting it for sale shortly.

Keep caffeinated.

I was sent this by a friend that has a history of finding some very obscure inter-web treasures.  This one is for sure a real treasure, though it is a little old in inter-web time.  But none the less exceptionally entertaining.  We here at the Legendary Boys of Floyd are of the Karate Kid generation and found this video by No More Kings hit the spot in filling our need for more Karate Kid goodness.  The video is called Sweep the Leg and, if you haven’t seen it or even if you have, it will leave you rolling as you relive the your youth or what ever time in life you saw this movie.  Go now and watch it….. Forget it, I’m including a video here.  So just watch it here.  Seriously though, when the last time you got to have a dose of Ralph Macchio, or Pat Morita, or William Zabka?  Enough about it, watch it already.

Obviously this site is not as obvious as it claims to be.  I stumbled across this site and had to share it simple because you never know when the next One Red Paper Clip or Million Dollar Homepage will appear.  Do you want to be the first or last to hear about this stuff?  Here at the Legendary boys of Floyd we want to be first, though we’re usually about seventh.  Anyway, check it out here and sound off in the comments if you think you have any idea at all as to what it could be.  Apparently there are updates coming… we’ll if if that happens.   I am expecting something…..  you know….there is a count down…. for something………  I’m sure it’s big, it is made on a Mac!

My family was able to escape this past week for a little R & R to the small Bavarian town of Leavenworth, Wa.  We went specifically for winter snow… yeah, there wasn’t any.  After talking to some of the locals, we found that this was the worst/warmest winter in 17 years.  Normally there’s suppose to be about three feet of snow this time of year.  Coming from our little town, three feet is a lot.  I would have been excited to see a foot, even six inches, how about a lite dusting?  I’m not picky, I just was looking for some of the cold white, falling from the sky, fluffy stuff.  But we had a good time in the mostly just like home climate that I was trying to escape for a little while.  We did, however, make it up to some snow on Stevens Pass.  And to be fair and honest, it was the worst snow I had seen in a long time.  If the snow wasn’t yellow, brown, or grey, then it was hard, thick and crusty.  The kids were still thrilled to be ‘in the snow’, but we couldn’t make snow balls or a snow man.  Though I was able to dig a hole and drop the little snow urchins in.  And since they are still pretty little, they were done in about 15 minutes.  Mission accomplished… in their minds.

After all this excitement it was time to go home.  The easiest route for us is to take the ferry crossing from Edmonds to Kingston.  And for some reason coming home seemed to take about half the time as going.   So as we pulled on to the ferry and parked, their he was.  And with his friends.  Mr. Steampunk himself.  I’m gonna have to say that my pictures just did not capture this guy.  First of all I was on the wrong side of him taking my stealth photos.  On the other side he had some nice feathers coming out of his hat, and it’s a little hard to see the goggles on the front of his hat.  And what made this guy even stranger was the friends.  They were in normal people clothes.  Not worth taking pictures of at all.  If only I knew where he was going….

Click the picture for Steampunk goodness.

Click to check out his legs…

Would I Look that good in a kilt?  And could I pull off that hat if I put the goggles down?

Here we are once again talking about sex and coffee.  I’m not sure at what point the two merged, but they have.  And it gives for some good reading, and now some good viewing.

In Bonney Lake, Wa, Peek-a-Brew Espresso has just gone on-line.  And I don’t mean their website, well ok I do…sort of.  They have installed web cams for your coffee brewing viewing pleasure in the comfort of your home.  They currently have a registration process that gets you access to the web cams for free.  But thats no way to make money, is it?  Of course not.  It will soon turn on to a pay voyeur type site.  If you head over to the Brewista site they have pics and new and of course the live web cams that you can check out.  I believe that those cams will only be free for a couple more days.  So if you want to see scantily clad ladies serving coffee for free, head over quick.  Other wise you’ll be paying.  And the rates…. well there $3.99/month, $10.99 for 3 months, or $39.99/ year.  But with that fee you get access to a multiple camera setup that you can pick which shot to watch.

And if you are into the social side of viewing, there’s a super annoying chat room thing going on right under this camera viewer.

Whats your thoughts?  Would you get your coffee here?  Would you pay to visit the site?  Would you tip big? Would you tip at all?  Sound off!
