About Omar Lutfey (the guy who runs this site):


Hello, my name is Omar Lutfey-- yes, I run this web site, and here is some random information about who I am.


Let's give Omar a big hand for putting together such a wonderful website! On most days I'm not wearing a tuxedo, but when the situation warrants, I can suit up just fine.



I'm a delivery driver in Northern Colorado. What does this mean?

First of all, I'm pretty active since I'm running around town in a big brown truck 45 hours a week. I have a nice tan, except for the fact that my feet are totally white from my socks. I'm in good shape, except my love for Taco Bell means I have a few extra pounds to deal with. Finally, I have a habit of droning on about work related stories, but I'm currently getting counseling and electro-shock therapy to keep it under control.

I'm a writer. Not the kind that had made any money, but I keep plugging away at it. My goal is to get one of my stories on Saturday Night Live or Mad TV.

What else do I do? I'm currently building an entry for next years Kinetics Race in Boulder. Once I get my hands on some welding equipment and some industrial grade marine Styrofoam I'll be 80 percent finished.

I also like to play pool, ride my motorcycle, and meet new people. I'm very outgoing when I'm working, but more quiet and reserved when I go out socially. For some reason the UPS uniform gives me special powers-- I can park where ever I want, ask random questions of total strangers, and of course run to the front of the line at any business without anyone getting mad. I want to meet someone who has goals in life, but can also kick back and enjoy themselves. Someone strong enough to stand on their own but willing to ask for help when needed.

AUSTRIA
Here I am in a small town in the middle of the Alps.

Other websites I've designed:

In addition to the newfunny.com website, I also have put together several other websites for various causes.

My work includes the following sites:

Habitat For Humanity, Boulder, Colorado

In addition to working at the Habitat construction site (when I can get up that early), I am also in charge of running the web site and taking action photographs with my digital camera.

ADDITIONAL STORIES

ADVENTURES IN SPACE
Chapter 1
Omar Lutfey

The First Lieutenant walked briskly over to the Captain’s sleeping quarters. Stopping a meter or so in front of the entrance, the Lieutenant examined the fine detail of the door. The planks of cherry wood showed their age with small cracks starting at the top and bottom and gradually working their way to the center of the door. The sturdy, oversized brass hinges kept the door in place despite the inevitable color change as the process of oxidation changed the chemical composition of the metal. The large ring of solid steel that served as a knocking device gave the door an imposing presence.

All of this would have been perfectly normal on an eighteenth century three masted schooner bravely sailing across the Atlantic ocean defending the colonial interests of the British empire. However, this ship was a twenty fourth century science vessel designed to function in the near vacuum of space.



RANDOM STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Chapter 2
Facial hair considerations....

The Captain sat in his chair and slowly stroked his chin with his thumb and index finger. He was trying to decide if he would look better if he grew a goatee. He eventually decided that it might improve his appearance, but he was not in the mood to go through the itchy stubble phase. Next he had to decide what to do about the anomaly.

Taco Bell
Lyrics to Taco Bell Song....

Here is the story that I've got to tell
About my favorite place to go and eat-- its called Taco Bell

One day I got on a plane and flew across the sea
Unaware of the fate awaiting me
You see they have BK and they have Mickey Dees,
But Taco Bell has still yet to be.

So now I'm a long way from home and I just don't see
That plastic tacky bell calling out to me

Taco Bell, you’re my water in the sand
Taco Bell, the franchise promise land
Taco Bell, your my favorite one night stand
Taco Bell, the village of the damned

And so I just can't sleep at night
Knowing that I'm a the world away from that
drive through open 24 hours culinary delight

Year In Review
newfunny sit-com....

I thought now would be a good time to stop and examine what I’ve accomplished over the past year. To achieve this goal, I’ve chosen the standard “situation comedy flashback” idiom. Let the dog out, grab a soda, and get comfortable before the show starts.

Moving Excitement
How to move....

One of the keys to a successful move is to be disciplined and organized. Unfortunately for me, both of these attributes were permanently damaged in a prepubescent winter sledding accident.

i am looking for your detailed instructions on how to make a watermelon bra. I have to play a south sea islander in a play--and I was going to wear a coconut bra but they dont come in DD. where are these alleged instructions?
Coconuts are only to be used for pre-teens and anorexic supermodels. Complete instructions will be made available when my own personal Kinetics craft is finished.
