Third year in a row
A few of my most faithful readersI'm talking about the ones who might very well one day drink "Pecadillo Kool-Aid"have asked about my People covers. Believe it or not; those magazine covers are actually forged. It's true; People Magazine has yet to recognize my achievements. Neverthelesss, I put my likeness on the coveted cover in a new style every year.
This one started it all. I was going for the classic Don Pec look. This is how I look about 98% of the time. My ascot was actually a pair of boxers, and the monicle was a plastic sealing-ring from a bottle of juice. I'm like the MacGyver of magazine-cover forgery.
The next year I looked like a cross between Burt Reynolds, Gabe Kaplan, and the "Joy of Painting" guy. This is my favorite cover.
Last year, I didn't go with a theme. My dad caught me off guard with his camera while I was wearing my flight gear, and the picture just happened to fit the cover nicely. What should I do this year? I'm open to suggestions.
By the way, I've had to shave my head completely for the Police Academy. I'm thinking about going for the Vin Diesel look. Unfortunately, I look more like Sinead O'Conner.
Speaking of the Police Academy; tomorrow is my first day. Incidentally, sometime tomorrow morning I'll be receiving my 20,000th hit. Scroll to the bottom and see what number you are. If you’re lucky number twenty-thousand, leave me a comment. Be sure to include who you are, where you’re from, and what time it is. This will be very cool for you; a lot like it was for the fifty-millionth visitor to Disneyland... except your name won't go down on record and your achievement doesn't matter at all.

Bah, I'm not number 20,000.
I'm 19991. There's a name for numbers like that, though I don't remember it.
Big Chris
Because I said so blog
Just my stinkin' luck! Unbelievably, I'm number 19,999!
Oh well...since my achievement wouldn't have mattered anyway, I guess it's OK.
Best wishes in your police academy endeavors, by the way.
Pec, about the magazine covers.
My Grandad told me, "If it aint broke, don't break it."
Somewhere in between Cindy and Dindale's post someone must have broke the barrier...
I hear the Spurgeon look is in, which is to say the C. Everett Koop look is in. Dr. Koop always reminded me of what a British Naval captain should look like. I bet he always got the lead in the school play when they were doing HMS Pinafore.
Anyway, honor your father and all that.
Just stumbled across this blog, adn I ain't 20,000. Wow, what it is to have influential relatives, I have to satisfy myself with a random blogspot here and there.
I do love your work. Keep it up. This blog always meets my intellectual level after I get burnout on the "old man" 's blog!

Pec, don't let your hairstyle limit your creativity. One word:
Wigs
I can see you in a nice mullet, or perhaps something from the Pete Rose/Prince Valiant unisex aisle.
XOXO
