The Day With Dave

Who's that handsome fellow wonders Dave as he looks on the web.

Dave Heads to Work

On such a wet and chilly day, Dave Darinko knew he was needed at the office.  His personal brand of glowing enthusiasm is pure sunshine.  So he  donned his best red bow and waited by the door.  Big Wage gave him 2.00 for lunch, a 100% increase over the 1.00 he usually issues.   We're not sure if this is due to Dave's double appetite or inflation.

We're certain Dave will be a bright spot amidst inclement weather.  It's just in his nature.


Need some sunshine in your day?  Adopt your own Dave over here at the Uglydoll Store.  He comes in 4 sizes and two colors: gray or red. With prices ranging from 6.00 to 40.00, there is a Dave for every space and budget.
Rumor has it our family will soon adopt a Little Red Dave.

Ugly Living Room

Welcome to my living room!  Soon we will host the Rummikub tournament where the Uglys and their partners will play for candy coated M&M's.  Sounds sweet! But is it?

Light Bulbs and Friends with MoeJoe Abima

MoeJoe is new to the family.  He's a 2 foot Abima who really enjoys games. All of the PC's were occupied with Babo's hunting for on-line cookie deals, but MoeJoe is a forward thinking kind of guy and went looking for another outlet for his gaming pleasures.

After a few worrisome crashes in the hall closet he emerged with Rummikub.  It's a good old fashioned game of chance, skill, and planning whose only requirement is a light bulb and a good friend.  Around here MoeJoe Abima has plenty of both.
Let the games begin!

Vinyl Chef Cook-Off Team 2

The Vinyl Chef Cook-Off continues with Team 2 headed by the famed Green Chef . This culinary team chose Baked Pecan Apples.

When  Chef  Choco was asked how he made his recipe choice he just kept repeating, "Apple Bake, Apple Bake". His Minty assistant added that this is the only food they know how to cook.

Even with a limited recipe base we think this team has an excellent chance of claiming the title "Vinyl Chef Supremo."
Time to eat.

Max and Dave Go Shopping

Dr. Max agrees with his new buddy, Dave Darinko that some updated, expanded shelving is in order for our crowded Ugly house.  

So Max grabbed Dave, us  and the car keys and headed off for IKEA.  The drive was long , rainy and quite pleasant.  

It was a good thing we had two Uglys along with an eye for decor because we could not find the unit we intended to buy and had to improvise on the spot. Max and Dave hopped from unit to unit, testing them for head clearance and color. 

We found that not only were most of the shelf units way to big for the car, they were also too heavy to carry and too expensive to buy. So we scaled our large and elaborate dreams of floor to ceiling white wall units down to some politely priced,  smaller, lightweight shelves in a color called black-brown. Max says one must remain flexible when decorating. We bent over backwards. 

  

After grabbing a few other Ugly wall accessories we headed home for the big build now currently underway in the living room.  Soon you will be seeing how our huge white wall unit turned small, modest black-brown grouping of shelves looks covered in our beloved Uglys.  Dave Darinko says once the Uglydolls hop aboard no one will ever notice the shelves.  How true! 

Dave Darinko: Leader and Decorator

Dave Darinko arrived today.  His tag says he is a natural leader.  And he is.
The first think he did was give hugs and assess the problem of crowding in our Ugly Shire.  So he's off to IKEA with us to pick up some new shelves suitable to his tastes.  Way to go, Dave!
