I guess I'm stupid, but I don't get the brainteaser. At first I read it as "Black Pay Red Pay" and then thought that might be pig latin for something. But no cigar. I keep going over it and coming up with nothing. I need help! :-) And you know, as much as I razz you on your covert, rapid-fire picture taking everywhere you go, I enjoy seeing what's up in the Ozarks every week. Reminds me there's a simpler life waiting me someday. And lol! If you taking a picture of us talking last night while I'm saying that isn't irony, then I don't know what is. Oh my word, I love the video of Kalea!

Hi Jordon, I've been a "lurker" on your blog for a little
while now, so I figured I should leave a comment and become part of respectable society again. You might have seen me before on Michael Thomas' blog under the screen name of benjamin_e. I saw your movie "The Book of Being" recently and I thought you guys did a really good job on it. I can tell a lot of work went into it. I acted in one of the movies shown this past year at the VF San Antonio Film Festival as well. The movie's name was "Beyond Protocol" but you probably didn't see it because I think it was playing the same time your movie was. The movie I was in didn't win anything either, so I guess we have something in common, huh? ;-) Anyway, I thought I would take a crack at your brain teaser... After working on it for bit, I discovered that if you say "Colored Pay Pay" really fast it sounds like "Colored Paper". Is that the answer? Thanks for the effort you put into your blog, I find it a very enjoyable one to read! Take care,
Benjamin

Can't say I know the answer. Never been good at those kinds of things. And lol, yes, that's a funny video of Kalea.

Simpler life awaiting you someday, hey Nathan? You gonna move out to the midwest in the near to distant future (or just the country)? I know you've expressed that somewhat to me before, but I guess I still don't know whether you're really serious about it or not. Ahh! One of my infamous blog "lurkers" reveals themselves! There are quite a number of you out there, and I actually do know who most of you are (I've got secret blog spy technology). Anyway, thanks for saying hi, Benjamin! I can tell you're a "Grand Adventure" viewer cause of how you spell my name ... JordOn, with an "O". I can't tell you how many times I've told Michael that it's JordAn, with an "A", and yet he still never gets it right. Makes me sound like a robot. "I AM JORDON ... TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER." :-) Anyway, I'm gonna start spelling his name wrong now too ... Mickael, or something. ;-) Hey, good guess, but no cigar with the mind teaser. Think simpler. Oh, I never got to see "Beyond Protocol." You like to act? I'll be trying to frequent your blog every so often now too. Thanks for saying hi. Gerry, keep trying. It's simpler than you think.

Hey Jord"A"n! Great blog post. You know, all of your posts are and whether we comment on it or not doesn't mean we don't like it. ;-) It's the best laughter source out there. I love the picture of Nathan on Skype. Reminds me of Frankie Muniz...it's the way he's wrinkling his nose. Oh and that card you made for Jeremy last week was just to funny! Don't tell me he gave back the $20? :-) I was looking at the Brainteaser and decided to give up (I didn't spend much time on it). So I read the comments and nobody had posted the answer so I said to myself, "Matthew" I said, "Let's take another look". And hey presto! I got it! At least I think. Is it "toupee"? Have a great week!

How about... Pay Pay. That's what it seems to read off as.

It better not be toupee (two pays), because you really threw
us off with one being red. Made me think there was some
significance to it being red, or at least being another color. And yeah, I've told you many times I wouldn't mind leaving this mass concentration of people someday. To where exactly I don't know, anywhere but here I suppose. :-)

Hey don't worry, I would be more than happy to kick you in the shins and push you over. I know, I know, no need to thank me, that's what friens are for. LOL I actually laughed when I saw you took that pic of your screen. At first when I saw that IM, I was like, "Wonder who that is??" and then I enlarged it, and it was me, and I read what I said, that's hilarious... too bad that one wasn't the joke I made... hehe >:) Man, I gotta be honest, I can't figure out that brain teaser... I thought maybe it said paper, but in all serious, it just simply looks like "Pay Pay" to me.. Pay Day.. dunno.

Oh no, Matthew, not you guys. I'm talking about the true "lurkers" who have yet to say hello and reveal themselves ... some "friends-in-law" residing north of here (Springfield) come to mind, as well as a few acquaintances in the Los Angeles, Santa Margarita, and Irvine areas. :-) Anyway, Jer still has the $20! Unless it's under my bed somewhere (which is possible). Good job on the teaser! You got it, my friend! Nathan, lol, was that a threat? Is it a crime to color one of the "Pays" red? Well, again, if you can handle the weather, then more power to you. :-) Can just see you becoming a true country bumpkin (actually I can't). RyOn, you know, I said to think simpler, but not that much simpler. Very clever. :-) Yes Josef, now the world gets to see how kind you are to me on IM. lol, and thanks for your kind offer. You are a true blue friend, my friend. Oh, and if ever you need to be knocked down as well, please let me know.

Yes it's a crime, punishable by decapitation. So you better be innocent. ;-) hehe no but like I said, it just throws everyone off because they think there's some significance to it being red. For heaven's sake, let's skip all this, is it toupee or not?! :-)

Another secret reader coming out of the woodwork. Yes, I do
confess to reading your blog on occaision, but only because
you post great pics of Kalea and family. I'm not sure about
those self-portraits. Anyway, the puzzle was an easy solve
after I read Nathan's brilliant answer (nice job Nate). BTW,
do you like the Spurs? Just curious. Bruce Bowen and David
Robinson go to my church, so, as you can imagine I am a huge fan.

Michol, I'm not sure you realize what your confession may cost you ... reputation ... friends ... position in society. Those known to frequent Jordan Niednagel's blog are subject to public scorn and ridicule. You are a courageous individual. :-) Anyway, thanks for saying hi. No, I'm sorry, I'm just not a Spurs fan, though I do like David Robinson. I think I'm pulling for the Jazz, simply because they're the underdog. Don't really care either way, though. Nate, yeah, it's toupee. I congratulated Matthew for getting it right. Wow, it's one thing to have the famous S.S. grace my blog with his presence, but to have the one, the only M.T. come here? It's every blogger's dream ...

Right you are J-man, sorry I missed that part. I might have solved it before matthew if you didn't color the second pay red. :-) Michol, I wish I could take the credit, but Matthew got it first, I was referring to his post. P.S. Cody, if you're reading this, "Vault" rules! ;-)

Jor, I want an article on bti about the upcoming nba draft. I want brain types and analyses on the top 15 prospects and how they would impact the teams with the top 15 picks. Oh, and come visit me within the next 3 weeks

Hi, Tessa. Actually no, I've never heard of Cornerstone catering. Jessie's never mentioned it to me. Is that something you do every day or once a week or every month or something? Anyway, thanks for saying hi. I guess we'll be seeing you all pretty soon here! Jonathan, Jonathan, Jonathan ... you know better than to ask that such information be divulged before the actual draft itself. lol, I could seriously cost my dad his job if I wrote an article revealing everybody's Type. I will say one thing ... Odem (sp?), who's favored to be selected first ... umm ... not sure what to say here. He's not your typical b-baller Brain Type, let's just say that. Oh BTW, Benjamin, if you read this, what's your blog address? I can't find it. Anyway, thank you for your prayers, Abby. I saw Mrs. Schrader yesterday and she seems to be in good spirits. They leave for Chicago this Monday. Blessings on your weekend.
