Week 25 - Cocomunn

SOLD!

Now, I don't know what the weather has been like in your neck of the woods, but here in sunny Tampa, Florida we have only had one day in the entire month of June (June 1, in fact) that the temperature hasn't hit at least 90 degrees Fahrenheit. (Many days ranging from 93 to 95)

Now, I spend most of my days running from my air conditioned home to my air conditioned car, into my air conditioned office, back into my air conditioned car and back into my air conditioned home in order to avoid the heat of the harsh Florida sun (Yes. It is a skill to still be THIS white and live in Florida... it's called "Don't Go Outside Between the Hours of 7:30 a.m. and 8:30 p.m.")

However, some days, usually when I'm right in the middle of a project at work, my mind starts to drift off to a land full of palm trees, beaches, and apparently, according to the poorly photoshopped image above, hula girls with fruity tropical drinks inside coconut cups for heads... and I'm ok with that. 

"But Greg," you say, "you already live in a land of palm trees, beaches and sunshine. What more can you possibly want?"

To you, I say, "come get me out of my air conditioned home when you find me a well-tanned hula dancer that has a tasty tropical beverage instead of a head." and "Good day sir!" :::weirdo:::

The next Munny will be posted on Friday, July 1st. It will be a very special Munny in this year-long project. If there is a Munny YOU would like to see me customize, drop me a line in the comments below or send me an e-mail to gbowdler@gmail.com. And with that, I say again, "Good day sir!"

Week 24 - Fly me to the Munn

SOLD!

It's a bird... it's a plane... it's... actually, it IS a plane (Take THAT Superman)

Seeing it is Father's Day weekend I decided it would be the perfect time to unleash the Munny that my father suggested. An airplane munny. Although my father isn't a pilot by trade he has been flying airplanes for as long as I can remember and has most likely had an interest in doing so for a much longer period of time.

My father enjoys airplanes SO much that he decided to build one... in our basement. I'm not talking about a model airplane here folks.. I'm talking about a full-sized two-seater airplane, built out of wood and glue. (and other things that make airplanes into airplanes)

I came across this article the other day about a man who also built an airplane in his basement and had to dig up his yard and have a wall removed in order to get the thing out of there. I don't know why he didn't just do what my father always told me was the plan.... Start the engine, raise a corner of the house and fly it out. To me, it just seemed so much easier.

The next Munny will be posted on Friday, June 24. If there is a Munny YOU would like to see, leave a comment below or send an e-mail to gbowdler@gmail.com.

Week 23 - Leomunnas

SOLD!

Blog Readers! Prepare for GLORY! 

Originally, for this post I was going to go through the movie 300 and take all of the notable quotes and change them to make them fit The University of Tampa (The Spartans and where I have gone to school, worked, or announced sporting events spanning the last 10 years.) Then, after realizing I thought there were a ton more amazing quotes in the movie than there actually were, I gave up. But, Please enjoy the two I came up with (located in the images above and below)

The next Munny will be posted on Friday, June 17. If there is a customization of a Munny that YOU would like to see me do, leave a comment below or shoot me an e-mail to gbowdler@gmail.com.

Week 22 - Poolside Petey

SOLD!

Sings, "Summer time, summer time, sum sum summer time!" That is right ladies and gents... It is officially the period of time between Memorial Day and Labor Day that is regularly considered by the general population as SUMMER TIME!

Summer during my childhood meant exactly two things... something was getting grilled EVERY night (we switched back and forth between chicken and burgers) and during the day I was in the pool. I'm not sure, but I might have even developed gills. ::: insert rimshot here::: So grab your trunks, swimmies and goggles and meet me by the pool (No running by the pool!) because summer is officially here!

The next Munny will be posted on Friday, June 10th. If there is a Munny customization YOU want to see, post a comment below (which I have been made aware is a very daunting task) or easily shoot me an e-mail at gbowdler@gmail.com. Enjoy!

* A very special thank you goes out to master craftsman, Tom Bowdler (my dad) for his consultation on how to make the swim mask look like it has plastic or glass... even though I wasn't able to use any of his suggested methods because craft stores in Florida don't carry anything that isn't regularly used by old people. (i.e. knitting needles, fake flowers, and that glue used to hold jigsaw puzzles together) Also... look at that water in The University of Tampa pool!!! I didn't photoshop it or anything! Dang that looks refreshing!
