132, Footy's Back

Another Aussie Icon, The Sherrin Football. 

And tonite it was kicked to perfection by the Collingwood Football team to record their 2nd Grand Final win in a row. (OK it was the pre-season cup, but we at Collingwood would celebrate the tossing of the coin if we were to win that) 

131, To coin a phrase

Just another reality check I'm afraid, one hundred and thirty one coins for your delectation. And tomorrow we will unwrap that new roll and see if we may have some new treasures. yahoo.

130, A Bridge too far

I thought I'd try a couple of Aussie Icons over the next few days, So I will begin with what we affectionately call the coat hanger. Now I know it's in Sydney and I'm a Melbourne boy, but I harbour no bridges.

129, Bunsickle

Two Iconic um, Icon's. I work for one of them. (Hint, I'm not Russian) 

Similar? I'm not sure, coincidental? again, not sure. In trouble with my bosses? Oh I'm sure.

128, Its a whirly bird Skip.

 

Live pictures of an emergency Helicopter Landing. Another Days camera's were on the spot to record the drama.

127, A brief history.

If for some reason it wont load, try here. http://vimeo.com/20678019

Not you usual picture tonite, This video was an entry for a competition that Noah, the creator of Skull-a-Day and 365 Make something is running. Up for grabs was one of several Cloth Merit Badges that were made as gift to him from the people at Nerd Merit Badges http://www.nerdmeritbadges.com/ I won one and will post a picture of it on here when it arrives in the mail.

You might notice that there is a frame from this vid on day 124, I was lucky and was able to recover most of the work I had done and this is the result. It is slightly better technically than the first video I made for day 100 but as you can see I aint no video maker.

126, Another Grand Final

Congratulations to Collingwood FC. Going for the second Grand Final in six month's and hopefully a third by the end of the full season. Love us or hate us, we are Collingwood.

125, Necklace

Like a band of gold or a flashy bit of jewelry, a necklace or bangle you know you'd pay a fortune for it.

124, Cheated

Yes my fine friends, today you have been cheated. This image is just one frame from an animation I was doing for a 365 project competition but my system crashed, wiped out the lot and now wont open my video programs due to corrupt files. As my good friend DR Smith would say, Oh the pain.

123, easy as

I'm Still hurting, so I give you cartoon swearing and trust me it's not very nice.

122, Oh my pain

Short changed on the change again today I'm afraid. My backs still out so its a cheap shot for a second straight day. Tomorrow will be  a peach I promise.

121, Warning

Apologies to everyone, todays image is as simple as I can bear to do. Don't know how or when but I have put my back out and can't bear to sit in front of the computer or bend down to arrange the coins so this is it.  

Tomorrow, well that hopefully will be a different story.

120. Old Flame

Today is cheap flame day in celebration of 120 straight days of coins, but the daunting thing is its only a third of the way before I get to the finish line. Onward and upward old chums.

119, Life of Staff

I wasn't sure where the pun would take me today, I thought maybe: 'Tonight only, Treble your Clef for the same low price' or possibly just 'Staff discount' 

But then I just left it without leaving a note.

118, Upon Reflection

I don't wish to look back at my previous work but reflect on what I have before me.

I love what light does, how it changes the color and shape of objects.

117, Be Safe

We definitely are thinking of all our friends across the pond right now. We love to give you a hard time but thats only because you're tough and love to give it back 

Our rivalry in nearly everything and our remoteness from the rest of the planet make us close friends and allies and we definitely feel your pain. Our corner of the world has taken a lot of crap of late and we don't need any more. So fight on guy's and know our most sincere thoughts and wishes are there for you.

116, Well Hung

Ah yes, hangman. I used to like playing this as a kid, a bit macabre when I look back; but then compared to some of the gore filled video games around now its quite tame I suspect.

  

115, Simply Stacked (again)

Today is simplicity personified. 5 golden stacks of 20 coins and a splash of 15 more to prove I have them all. 

But you trusted me didn't you. I know you regularly count them to check that I'm keeping my end of the bargain. So doubt me no doubts, Cameras may lie but Honest Oscar doesn't.

114, Happy Trails

Nobody likes a showoff and we all know this is just a slug with a house. Doesn't impress us one little bit.

113, The All Mighty

I don't know why I haven't done this one before, it seems to be the most obvious $ymbol I could possibly do, so here it is in all its evil glory.
