Star of the Show

As always, Foo knows he is the star of the show, and takes every opportunity to show everyone else this as well. He found this one in front of Sam Houston Park near downtown.

Ah-So Grasshopper

Foo was just about to leave the metal sculpture field when all of the sudden out of the long grass sprung this ninja-like gigantic grasshopper. Although it tried to jump on Foo and eat him, Foo is just that quick and managed to run and jump in the car before Foo became Food.

Run Pipeman Run

Foo wasn't sure what this pipeman was running from, but he hopped right on board to help him in his efforts because Foo's just that kind of dog.

Get 'er Done!

Foo realized this truck had seen better days, but he still maintains that he wants to take it home and fix it up. Secretly, he believes it's like Tow Mater from Cars, and he thinks if he fixes it up, it'll start talking.

Rohrschach Test?

Palm creature? Strange key? Peg-legged feather monster? Foo wasn't sure either, and the hippo and rhino weren't telling. Whatever it was, it still made for a good picture.

Mexi-Can Play On

As Foo was roaming the field in search of adventures he was suddenly serenaded by a huge Mexican mariachi band. He does have suspicions that they were all a little high though.

Monkey High

This monkey apparently was really shy and wouldn't come down for a photo. Foo still waved hi and tried to make friends, for which he did receive a really nice wave back.

Steggering Proportions

From a distance, Foo thought this stegosaurus looked like a cute and cuddly pal. Once Foo got up close, he realized just how big his new pointy-plated friend, Steve, really was.

Hipp-Hippo Hooray

Foo was excited when this hippopotamus, Harold, offered to let him go for a ride. But when Foo got into Harold's mouth as instructed, it was really, really moist and humid... kinda like the Houston weather. Harold turned out to not be the "Hungry, Hungry" variety of hippos, so after a jaunt to the waterhole, Foo went on his merry way.

One Fell Swoop

The only thing that saved Foo from getting grabbed up by this gigantic bird of prey was the split second between hearing the shriek and feeling the swoosh of the air. It was a close one, but he managed to get away with just a little scratch.

He So Horny

Foo often wondered if rhinos were nice animals or not, so when he met this one, he was delighted that the rhino, Norm, offered to let Foo ride on his head while he got his lunch of plants on. Massive horns aside, Foo found Norm to be pretty docile and fairly comfy.

Not So Shining Armor

This was surely one of the biggest armadillos Foo has ever seen, but it wasn't as shiny as the other big one that he'd met before. This one, aptly named Rusty, was so fixated on something, refusing to look at the camera, that Foo just had to look that way, too.

Moo Crew

Foo was moooooved when he came across this herd of colorful cows, each singing their own unique song but in perfect harmony. It's so nice to hear pastoral music, especially when the one on the end started singing the blues.

Aerial Dogfighting

Foo was full of glee to find Snoopy, the Red Baron, swooping down upon him in the field on his journey. But when Snoopy yelled down and challenged Foo to an aerial dogfight...

...he quickly found a biplane made for Foo and it was on like Donkey Kong!

(In truth, it was friendly dog-on-dog air combat, and no animals were hurt in the making of this photo story.)

On a Missile

Foo was on a missile... er... mission to find the best outdoor art in Houston, and so far, his luck was pretty good! This missile was certainly pointing him in the right direction.

Rocket Foo

Foo remembered his time with NASA and really want to hitch a ride on this rocket setup, but after waiting and waiting it never went anywhere, and Foo had to move on.

Eye of the Swarm

As Foo continued to adventure about the field, he suddenly was swarmed by a strange cloud of black objects he couldn't identify, but Foo was more fascinated than scared.
Because he didn't show any fear, the swarm suddenly became easy and friendly and let Foo know he was now a member of the swarm club and welcome back any time.

The Ranks of the Fallen

Even though Foo didn't make it to the top, the metal soldier man continued to give him a respectful salute.

Foo soon understood why when he met a dragon who'd tried to make the climb before. He came back with one wing too few.
And then there was this creature who got disfigured past the point of recognition... after all was said and done, Foo was glad he decided not to go all the way to the top. After all, all the riches he needs are his photos and his memories!

Chain of Command

Foo was thrilled when he found this metal chain that stretched all the way up into the sky. Based on his studies of the Beanstalk Chronicles, Foo was certain that he would find treasures and golden geese and more up at the top in the clouds and took command of the chain.
As he began to climb, everyone around was in awe and one metal soldier even gave him a respectful salute for his bravery. Foo only got a few links up, however, before he heard a mighty growl from above and realized why they thought him brave. Thar be giants aloft!

Death to Spiders!

Faced with the onslaught of the encroaching giant spider, luckily Foo quickly stumbled upon this stealth fighter jet, complete with destructive missiles.
Foo immediately hopped on board and trained the missiles on the icky, creepy, eight-legged awfulness and BOOM... it was soon no more. Victory!

Spider Foo

Foo was having a nice day until he ran into this horrific giant spider in a field. He may not look too scared, because this photo was taken just after he vowed to bring that arachnid to an end!

Runnin' Down the Road

Foo was just running down the road tryin' to loosen his load... and found this gigantic metal roadrunner. He wouldn't stay still long enough for a proper picture. Foo thinks the bird thought he was a coyote for some reason.

Always Foo for a Laugh

Foo doesn't quite remember what was said right before this moment, but apparently it was one of the funniest things he and his friends Jonathan and Tank had ever heard. Although it's possible Tank just farted... he's looks a might suspicious...

Beer Flirty

As a ploy to get free beer, Foo flirted with the lingerie-wearing, paint-splotched bartender Lauren at Brewski's. Much to the pleasure of all his friends, Foo's cuteness was the key, and all the beers were free...

(Someone actually had to pay for them later, but that's not as good of a story.)

Foo-Sized Beer

Since Foo had been taking care of others all evening, when he left Wings n More, he still needed to get his drink on. Knowing what would quench his thirst, Foo head headed to Brewski's where they have Foo-sized beers for a Foo sized party!

Boxing Mad

Foo was reminded not so pleasantly by this tabletopper about the asinine call by the judges of the Tim Bradley and Manny Pacquiao fight the previous Saturday. Obviously the judges weren't actually watching the fight because there was NO WAY Bradley won that thing. He was staggering all over the place and never through a major punch! Leave boxing to the boxers, stupid judges!!

Rabbi Foo

While everyone at Wings n More got their drunky on, Foo started to worry about their consciences. To help out, he decided to become a rabbi on the spot so at least he could bless their drinks and make them sacramental.

Dude, I Have Your Keys...

Since it was Dollar Beer Night at Wings n More, Foo's friends had a field day and drank and drank until they had a stack of cups even bigger than Foo!
And since he's a good Foo friend, he confiscated some of his dronkey friends' keys, only to find that the keys were the actual culprits in the drinking matter, clearly promoting the delectable beer selection of Spec's at every step of the way.

Just Peeing Truthful

At Wings n More, Foo's friends offered him a Bud Light to drink, but he soundly refused and showed them what he really thinks of the foul macrobrew by peeing in it while they weren't looking.

Trust Foo... they didn't even notice the difference.

More Than Friends

Although Foo couldn't find what "more" was on the menu at Wings n More, he soon realized that the more he could get was hanging out with his friends. Even Carmelo was kind enough to offer Foo a beer.
The rest of the crew was a little stranger, especially when Purple Donkey and Zombie Clown started crawling all over Foo. And then there was that creepy guy.... watching Foo from hiding... Mike, dude... stalking's not cool.

I'll Have Some More

Foo wanted more so he went right to the source at Wings 'N More in Stafford, TX. Although the wings were certainly prevalent, the waitress was a bit confused as to Foo's request for "more" when he didn't see it on the menu.

Sing it Foo Boy

Foo was delighted to learn that it was karaoke night at Gridiron. Usually preferring to be a backup singer, Foo felt the frenzy and took to the limelight, singing his favorite song, WereFoos in London (yes he changes out the lyrics intentionally).

Double-Pawin' Foo

As Foo tends to do, he got his beer on again at the Gridiron Bar & Grill in Sugar Land. Caught double-pawing it like a boss, he still smiled eagerly for the camera. Foo has no shame.

Buffalo Wild Waitress

Foo's always a favorite with the ladies, and it was no different at Buffalo Wild Wings where everyone, including his great waitress who kept him full of wings, wanted a Foo-to opportunity.

Taste of Trivia

Foo was so excited to be a part of the Tres Leches trivia team at Buffalo Wild Wings that he offered to be the official answer delivery boy after each question. After a few sheets came back a bit slobbery, it became clear that Foo had been trying to eat them, thinking they'd taste like Tres Leches...

Write Foo Down!

Foo is always ready to answer trivia, but he's not so good about letting others get a turn. It's a little harrowing trying to get that pencil away from him!

On the Sauce

Foo knows just how important it is to be saucy is in life, so he was glad to see that Buffalo Wild Wings agreed and made a motto out of it. The only problem is choosing his favorite way to express his love for the sauce!

Lovin' the Lake

Foo and friends posed for a group picture during their fun time on the lake, but it seemed to go horribly wrong for some of them. Mike started licking Jonathan's head, which he apparently liked. Winchester wouldn't even look at the camera, which prompted Beans to try to eat Winchester for lunch,  which made Victoria mad.

Foo and the Ladies

Foo always gets to hang out with the best-looking ladies, and he loved swimming with the lovely Rebecca and Victoria. Just look at that grin. Foo knows where it's at!

What Up, Dawgs?

Foo loved being out on the lake, especially as he was getting some sun and chilling with his good friends Mike and Winchester. It soon got a little too hot and everybody headed in for a swim.

Liquid Free

It's always advisable to make sure you're liquid free before going on a long trip, and boy did this boat take one hell of a piss.... for 5 minutes...
