Mystery Cam: Waffle On The Beach

Oh, grumble, grumble ... another day, another hassle ... my wife's on my case ... my kids won't stop hounding me about getting them those "House of Mirth" Happy Meal toys ... the yearnings of my soul are denied by the unyielding nature of mortality ... I "Did the Dew" and "Felt the Rush" and it just made me feel kinda achy ... I need some coffee ...

snapshot200Whoa-ho!!! Hey hey hey everybody! How's tricks, what's happening, who's the man, where's the beef, what's the thing, don't stop the music! Or something to that effect! I'm too excited to make sense right now!

Well, it's Thursday, and it's time to party. Do you know how to party?!?!!? No really, I need to know. Don't say "YEAH!!! WHOOO!!!" unless you've lent careful study to the ins and outs of advanced party methodology. Personally, I've studied the foundational principles behind "partying" through periodicals and primary source material, so I think my conclusions on breaking it down as well as getting jiggy with it should be respected for their reliability and their funkiness. And according to my learned conclusions, one of the best places to bust a proverbial move is this week's Webcam spot.

Where is this hot spot for bringin' in da noise, as well as, on a good day, bringin' in da funk? That's for me to know and you not to know. But if you do know anyway, send me your guess at edd@ibsys.com. The first three to get it right win an honorary membership to Edd's Society for the Advancement of Funktasticology. And part of the initiation ceremony is having your name mentioned in next week's edition.

Last Week:

Last week I went to New York City for New Year's. Fun town, lemme tell ya, I've been there many times. You know what I noticed this time? There are a lot of people in that city! Probably more than 10,000 -- no kidding!

But in the Webcam world, last week was Laura Bob time. She provided a very nice snowscape, which was a little out of character for the place in question. And out of character for Laura -- usually she doesn't talk about anything besides NASCAR star Wally Dallenbach. Seriously, she's totally obsessed.

Anyway, she pulled away from her back issues of That's Racin' magazine long enough to give you that picture of Little Rock, Ark. The clues involved "two politicians" -- obviously, Bill and Hillary Clinton. The river shown is the Arkansas.

And the winners, which I forgot to mention until now (Monday) are Ken Mendel, Maggie Rioux and Sean Spicer.

Clues

Well, for one, my buddy Joe lives near this scene. You remember Joe -- the one with the hair? About yea tall? Looked kinda like that one dude from English class that we always called "Shiny Coat"?

This isn't helping, huh. Well, I can tell you that a fellow named Vizcaino factors heavily into this region's history. The general area's name sounds kinda like what happens when you drop a waffle on a beach. The more specific area of this picture has a happy-looking name, but it's pronounced differently.

I never know whether I'm making them too easy or too hard. I guess we'll see. Guesses?
