20060811 - Tribute To Killroy and The Capture Of Saddam Hussein - 104-0423 - Clint in the hole

This particular pose was specifically inspired by an ASCII-art email signature I've seen many times in the past. Since the posting of the picture, I have since learned that this little fellow is called "Kilroy" and has a possibly-unknown origin. For more info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilroy_was_here

So when Virginia Design Builders were finally getting around to installing our spiral stairs, approximately two years after the contractual deadline (and only after paying more money than the dollar value on the contract) -- they drilled this huge hole in our concrete basement floor. We came home one day, and they had a board on the ground. We kept sidestepping the board thinking it was just the normal debris they usually left. Eventually, Clint decided to move the board out of the way and discovered the hole. So, we had to have some fun with it. Ultimately, the builders spent a day filling the hole back up with concrete. All we could think of was how funny it was that this idiocy didn't cost us any additional money (other than that we were already screwed out of).

Clint decided these would be the "Tribute To The Capture Of Saddam Hussein" pictures.
