Zoomdoggle: More fun than work!

What do you get when you cross a Nerf bow, a faux-feather n’ loin-cloth, and Daniella, the most “down for anything” doggler we’ve come across yet? A solution to that pesky cowboy problem. Or so we’d hoped…

The day began like most, with commuters up with the sun, coffee being brewed with at the local coffee spot, and this guy, harassing tourists in Times Square as always.

Look at that smug mug. Someone’s got to take this tool down.

Luckily, we’ve got some tools at our disposal as well. Namely, the live feed from his web site that lets you know where he is one-too-many hours per day. (Classy.)

A NERF Big Bad Bow.

And tape, lots and lots of tape. The tape shouldn’t have been necessary, but the instructions being what they were…

We did our best.

So while the Cowboy was doing his thing.

Our Indian was thinking ambush.

The police seemed unconcerned.

But the weapon worked. And even if it wasn’t uber-intimidating…

A certain De Niro look can dress up just about anything.

The hunt was on.

Wait, lets take just a minute to discuss the outfit. Long story short: While Zoom wanted to go full-on “Naked Indian” on this one, our photographer The Lovely Brenda had reservations. It seems she’s been harassed one too many times shooting scantily clad ladies on the street. So we discussed the merits of full-frontal tom-toms, sweet D geared up and said it was go time.

They say if you see something, say something…

But nothing fazes New Yorkers.

Next stop: wait for it.

Times Square: Things are about to get interesting.

You see, while some people were frightened.

Others weren’t nearly as concerned as they probably should have been.

Case in point, this chicken.

The important thing is that our target was still blissfully unaware.

We creeped.

Loaded.

Moved in on our unsuspecting prey.

Prepared for the showdown.

He turned.

And… WHAT

THE

CRAP!

Somehow we broke the cardinal rule of Times Square.

I can’t look.

This is sickening.

From our plans of a Naked Indian ambush…

To this!

What gives?

Even this lady’s got more balls. Gawd.

The ride home was shameful.

Maybe this excerpt of the world’s longest voice-mail can shed some light on the subject.

Well, there you have it. Not every doggle goes as planned—matter of fact, very few do—but that’s besides the point. So what IS the point you ask? We’re still working it out. Next Monday though, we’re going to steal some airtime from a major network. That ought to be fun, right? Ooh, and tomorrow we see Hollywood through the all-knowing eyes of a wannabe. See you there.
