  At least take the cap off ;>

• Comment 2 written by Raymond Camden on 6 November 2009, at 10:33 AM

  

  I won't lie - I was tempted. ;)

• Comment 3 written by Charlie Griefer on 6 November 2009, at 10:37 AM

  

  Oh sure in other languages you'd have to first take the cap off before you drink the beer. And that's only after you import the bottleOpener library.
  
  But that's the beauty of ColdFusion. You don't have to explicitly take the cap off.
  
  ColdFusion... making the hard things easy.

  @Charlie: LOL. Well done, sir!

• Comment 5 written by Raymond Camden on 6 November 2009, at 10:39 AM

  

  Ok - right now Charlie is in the lead - even with no picture.

• Comment 6 written by Alirio Boquin on 6 November 2009, at 11:02 AM

  

  LOL LOL LOL!

  No Photoshop/Fireworks available to me at the moment, so I did the best I could.

  Where can I get that shirt?

• Comment 9 written by Raymond Camden on 6 November 2009, at 11:08 AM

  

  @Charlie - That is truly sad. Totally negates the coolness of your earlier comment.

• Comment 10 written by Charlie Griefer on 6 November 2009, at 11:11 AM

  

  @Ray - the truly gifted artists are rarely recognized as such within their own lifetimes.
  
  When I did you'll all be like, "wow... remember that CF Dude entry Charlie did? That was genius."

• Comment 11 written by Charlie Griefer on 6 November 2009, at 11:12 AM

  

  Dammit. That should have been "when I die". Can we get users editing their own posts in the next version of BlogCFC? :)

• Comment 12 written by Raymond Camden on 6 November 2009, at 11:13 AM

  

  @charlie: Put up a decent picture and I'll consider it. I don't work for chumps. ;)

• Comment 13 written by James Allen on 6 November 2009, at 11:20 AM

  

  Right guys, here is my hastily thrown together attempt at emulating CF Dude. I have no blue tops whatsoever so I've gone for a black look. Also I have no CF t-shirt, but if you look closely you'll see a tiny CF badge someone stole from Adobe for me recently (stole being a relative term. ;) ).
  
  The first picture is the closest I could get to CF Dude original. The second is the same but with a bottle of Piswasser from GTA 4. The final picture is with some CF merchandise to spice things up.. ;)
  
  Hope you like.

  Umm... what about the female equivalent? I can't be the only CFChica... :-D

• Comment 15 written by Raymond Camden on 6 November 2009, at 11:27 AM

  

  @jen: _please_ post - and obviously all my calls out to 'guys' here apply to everyone. Will you post?
  
  @jamesallen: OT - right before my 360 died I started GTA4 again. I forgot how well that game was done.

• Comment 16 written by Jen on 6 November 2009, at 11:29 AM

  

  LOL Ray... I'll try. It may be a "re-imagining" though. Thanks!

• Comment 17 written by Raymond Camden on 6 November 2009, at 11:31 AM

  

  Heh fine by me. No matter what you do, it will be better than Charlies.
  
  (Sorry, I just feel like picking on him today. ;)

• Comment 18 written by Brian on 6 November 2009, at 11:34 AM

  

  @Charlie: such a hassle to take the cap off. I agree it should be implicit.

• Comment 19 written by James Allen on 6 November 2009, at 11:34 AM

  

  Awesome Ray. I remember reading your thoughts on GTA 4 originally and how you weren't too taken by it. Great to hear that you've rediscovered it. I'm a *huge* fan. Can't get enough of the detail and atmosphere of the world Rockstar always manage to create.
  
  I've just bought a 360 just for the new episodes.

• Comment 20 written by Jim Leether on 6 November 2009, at 11:38 AM

  

  Here's my CFDude impression, VWRacer style.

  And a picture of my latest tattoo, before it healed obviously. It looks much better now.

  Enjoy!

• Comment 22 written by James Allen on 6 November 2009, at 11:40 AM

  

  OMG wow!! You have an actual tattoo of CFDude. That rocks!

• Comment 23 written by Jim Leether on 6 November 2009, at 11:46 AM

  

  Yep, it's all healed up now, just in time for winter clothes. Now no one will get to see it.

• Comment 24 written by James Allen on 6 November 2009, at 11:47 AM

  

  Even if I get nothing from this compo, any chance you could get me one of those cool CF t-shirts Ray? I need some CF t-shirt action in my life to complement my CF cap.

• Comment 25 written by Raymond Camden on 6 November 2009, at 11:48 AM

  

  @James: Adobe has the shirts, not me - but I do believe some will be given out in the "Best of CF9" contest I'm running. In fact, I believe _EVERY_ entry gets one. Sounds like an easy way to get a shirt, right? :)

• Comment 26 written by James Allen on 6 November 2009, at 11:48 AM

  

  @jim,
  
  Yeah but come Summer it's cool city man!

• Comment 27 written by James Allen on 6 November 2009, at 11:50 AM

  

  @Ray,
  
  That sounds like an awesome idea.. Any route to get a t-shirt is cool with me.
  
  Along with GTA promo material I'll have to add CF to the mix. ;)

• Comment 28 written by Simon on 6 November 2009, at 12:10 PM

  

  I did not change my shirt for this... this is what I'm wearing today.

  Note, I also had to open a beer in order for the shot to work!

• Comment 29 written by James Allen on 6 November 2009, at 12:52 PM

  

  @Simon
  
  Well you got it in spirit and the open beer is a nice touch.
  
  Your house looks awesome though! Looks like you have a great back yard. Do you work from home?

  Thanks to Ray I have now had an excuse to take two portraits of myself today: One for this contest and one for Whiskerino (http://whiskerino.org/2009/beards/elegantchaos/).
  
  In case you can't make out the shirt on Flickr, here's a link to a full-size pic: http://www.silverwareconsulting.com/images/CFDude-...
  
  Good times!

• Comment 31 written by Micah Douglas on 6 November 2009, at 1:31 PM

  

  No entry, as I am at work, but I want me a CF shirt someday.

• Comment 32 written by Rachel Luxemburg on 6 November 2009, at 2:20 PM

  

  This contest seriously rocks!

  Nice job people. Sorry to be so quiet - spent the last few hours taking care of my wrecked car. Me cans have beer now, yes?

• Comment 35 written by Denise Preston on 6 November 2009, at 4:09 PM

  

  Thanks, Ray. Very amusing for a Friday afternoon...

  Here you go Ray!

• Comment 37 written by Raymond Camden on 6 November 2009, at 4:35 PM

  

  Nice. FYI - the Smithwick in my picture? Open and poured into an ice cold mug.

• Comment 38 written by Jen on 6 November 2009, at 4:47 PM

  

  Here ya go: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fiveforefun/408091649...
  
  Public employee = no bottle for me. Just a coffee cup. ;-)

• Comment 39 written by Raymond Camden on 6 November 2009, at 4:51 PM

  

  @Jen: Of course, no one knows whats in the cup. ;)
  
  Ok... so I have to ask. Many of you took pics with your arm covering your face. Was that intentional?

• Comment 40 written by Jen on 6 November 2009, at 4:52 PM

  

  The guy in the original has his face covered. Just trying to follow instructions. ;-)
  
  And no, I'm not telling what's in the cup.

• Comment 41 written by Raymond Camden on 6 November 2009, at 4:53 PM

  

  Original - you mean the poster? On the tee shirt his face is exposed - so it must be the original art.

• Comment 42 written by Jen on 6 November 2009, at 4:57 PM

  

  My t-shirt's at home (I know, bad planning on my part) so I was working off the picture that's on the sticker sheet. His face is hidden on that...

  @Adam: Dude. Dude... do I see a _beer_ in your child's hand?? Your answer to this question is very important.

• Comment 45 written by Charlie Griefer on 6 November 2009, at 5:10 PM

  

  Kid with beer? Comin' up.

• Comment 46 written by Charlie Griefer on 6 November 2009, at 5:10 PM

  

  ...and don't judge. I took his little plastic car keys away first.

• Comment 47 written by Raymond Camden on 6 November 2009, at 5:15 PM

  

  You people disgust me. Of course, I had my son bring me my beer. ;)
  
  Soooooo it's past 5. I have to pick a winner. I'm torn... beer with baby is such a strong statement. But....
  
  I have to go Jim Leether. I think he did best at capturing the wild passion that all CFer have in their soul. (Wow, did I just write that?)
  
  Jim, I've got your email so I'll shoot the gift cert there.
  
  Everyone... thank you. And if folks want to keep posting pictures, PLEASE do!

• Comment 48 written by Charlie Griefer on 6 November 2009, at 5:17 PM

  

  Jim should get an extra $20 for having the tat :)

• Comment 49 written by James Allen on 6 November 2009, at 5:42 PM

  

  Well done Jim - that Tat does rock!
  
  @Ray,
  We were just following the image of CFDude you posted.. Trying to get an exact match. Bob, Jen and myself achieved that.. ;) Great competition. Thanks for making our Friday more interesting.

• Comment 50 written by Adam Tuttle on 6 November 2009, at 6:23 PM

  

  Yep, that's a beer in my boy's hand. For what it's worth, he couldn't even hold on to it - a little too slippery from condensation and too heavy for an 11-month-old. Sorry for the delay - it was dinner here time on the west coast.
  
  Grats, Jim! I really liked your picture.

• Comment 51 written by Simon romanski on 6 November 2009, at 9:30 PM

  

  Jim should totally win with that tat.
  
  I really like the other photo...he's already into the spirit of the holidays.

• Comment 52 written by Adam Tuttle on 6 November 2009, at 9:48 PM

  

  I said west coast. I meant east coast. I have no idea why.

  @Guusts: Oh snap!

• Comment 55 written by Fuzie on 7 November 2009, at 10:35 AM

  

  is it just me, or does it look like the hair on the tat rendition is approaching a jquery logo?

• Comment 56 written by Matt Gifford AKA coldfumonkeh on 7 November 2009, at 4:59 PM

  

  Damnit! I was so excited when I got this tweet and was looking forward to rocking a picture over. I should have read the finer detail that the competition was only open until Friday evening.
  
  Next time, Gadget.. next time

• Comment 57 written by Raymond Camden on 7 November 2009, at 5:02 PM

  

  Matt - as I said in my 'closing' comment - people are free, and _ecouraged_, to keep posting pictures!

• Comment 58 written by Rob Brooks-Bilson on 25 December 2009, at 2:10 PM

  

  Took the pic but totally forgot to post it!

  I guess the only thing I can say is...
  I look drunker than anybody else.

  Stone FTW!

• Comment 62 written by Raymond Camden on 29 December 2009, at 3:44 PM

  

  You don't look drunk, Phillip, more like drunk, dazed, and confused. ;)
