Thanks for the vote of confidence Richard.

Besides the tools /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif some of their projects I could have some fun doing. That cow catcher last night screamed straight lines on a curved object. It was totally out of place and reflected severe imagination starvation. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

But then when under the gun I might freeze too.

( I'll say this ... Harv and Jesse - it would either be love at first sight or hate and first glance NO WHERE IN BETWEEN.
That's my guess.)

I don't have much use for his lifestyle, period. It's just not what I think a man should be when he grows up. But his talent with metal is awesome. So on one level...........but on another.............

( Harv ... there's a certain amount of exploitation those crews must accept. I'm guessin that wouldn't weld up to well in your house.)

Oh I can be had. It's hopefully just not cheap or easy. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Seems its all a big act for the Director. Same with all the 'reality' shows, but apparently there are people who watch (that's all that is needed). People do strange things when that TV camera is on them (witness the shenanigans in a crowd when the TV camera pans on them, and they know they are on TV - go absolutely bonkers). /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Some of the activities are interesting, but then the 'acting' for the camera comes into play, and the whole thing gets discombobulated. That's when the remote button goes 'click' again. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Now it's decision time. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

This just hit the puter: (

Hi Harvey,

I received your application and would like you to submit a five minute VHS that lets me know who you are, what your skills are, and why we should pick you to be on Monster Garage. You can send it to my attention at the address below.

Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you soon.)

I either have to find someone with a movie camera for VHS or blow it off.

My wife has this deer in the headlights look. She doesn't think this idea is on the same quality level as the one about the kitchen island I'm going to build for her. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I'll turn the big 56 this week. I wonder if that means I'm too old.

If it does then Leo's in trouble, big seven oh!!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif And I'll bet he has something to do with this!

You can rent those cameras. What the Hay! You only live once! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Harv

I can’t imagine why you would think I would have anything to do with wanting to see you on Monster Garage. I would only do something like that if I was alone or with someone. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif It appears that a lot of TBNers would like to see you there too.

When you do your VHS, you might mention www.HarveyLacey.com so they can go there to see some of the projects that you have done

You are right about me being in trouble for the upcoming big seven 0. I never thought I would see 70, but it sure beats the alternatives. My mother-in-law passed a word of wisdom she got from the wise man on the mountain when he told her what the secret to living a long life -- “Keep breathing as long as possible”.

It looks like I won't have to rent a camera. A TBN'r has volunteered to make a dvd that'll knock their socks off.

My wife still has the "I married a nut and now he's cracking up" look in her eyes.

I knew it. I tried two times to send the application via email. I got one back as undeliverable but I wasn't sure if the first attempt went through. There is also that disclaimer they have about not replying to all applicants due to their volume of requests to be on the show.

So last nights email came as a total surprise. I figured it had to have been Leo. btw harveylacey.com is Leo's playground. He's the webmaster. I just supply filler.

Now comes what should go on the video. I suspect they want the video to see how photogenic the applicant is. I ain't. And I haven't done any car stuff in awhile. But I used to build and race dirt track cars. In fact one of my buds in California told me one time that if I didn't race such junk I would be a threat. He was the figure eight champ that year. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Any ideas on doing the video would be appreciated. Simple stuff like dialogue, background etc.

Oh Harv ... I'll share an opinion with you if you don't mind. Believe me, they are not interested in how photogenic ANYONE is. What they want is a mixture of competence at any cost and intrigue. The latter is where the 'exploitation' comes in.

If you had 1 leg, a giant wart on both lips, spoke only mandarin, and sucumbed to frequent blackouts and fits, but could weld a feather to a ball joint, they'd put you on that show in a NY minute - as long as they were sure you could do something great or fail to the same degree (either is great) and wouldn't get anyone killed, maimed or injured, you're a shoe in!

In war, truth is the first casualty. In reality TV, human dignity is.
