Blog Guy, since the year is almost over, can you give us a preview of what surprises the Goofy Face Museum and Doughnut Shop has in store for 2011?
You bet. We’re busy gearing up for the start of our huge winter tourist season, with new exhibits and a grand reopening.
Winter? I would think summer would be your big tourist season.
Oh crap. I think you’re right, I can never keep that straight. Well, it’s too late to change our plans now.
Anyhow, we’re unveiling a variety of expensive new photos, on subjects ranging from the famous, like actor Robert Redford and French President Nicolas Sarkozy, to sports figures, to regular private citizens.
Wow. I know that wise purchases can make or break a museum, as we saw recently with The Louvre. What was the single most expensive piece your museum acquired in 2010?
That would be our new logo.
You mean that statue of Abe Lincoln making a goofy face and holding a doughnut?
Yep, we think that’s going to turn everything around.
Oh. Good luck with that logo thing, Blog Guy, and I hope you’re able to withstand the crush of January tourists.

Dominik Roels demonstrates to the rest of the pack why pickled eggs should be outlawed in sporting events, and probably any public place at all.
When I read the headline I thought, “Oh great, another story about Joan Rivers.” Thanks for the morning humor. First pic reminds me I forgot to brush my teeth this morning.
I want a GFMaDS snuggie!
That is a very unfortunate pose the camera has caught Mr. Roels in.
I looooooooooooooooooove Sarkozy’s face!!! His is gonna be the first face that comes to my mind when someone says “Go Goofy!”
@justCAM, is Joan Rivers even capable of making facial expressions these days, much less goofy ones?
@ifly … good question. Joan? Are you out there? Can you make a goofy face for us? Lamar! Grab the camera!
@justCAM, just remember that brushing your teeth more than once a week causes gum disease. Just ask all those people who brush their teeth twice a week….
Blimey, Mr Sarkozy looks like a real life Spitting Image puppet.
@justCAM, seeing as Mr. B. is always on the red carpet during television awards ceremonies (due to his celebrity status) no doubt we will being seeing plenty of goofy faces during the upcoming year!
Sarkozy is smellin’ some really stinky brie!
Robert Redford??? I thought it was Elton John!! Humour is what we need in these hard times.
Mr Roels has rather pretty legs.
Um, well Spin, you can be that until I track down the guy who wrote There once was a man from Nantucket….
You can definitely be the Haiku laureate Spin… no one is challenging that position!
