What a brilliant forum. Every question I can think of has been answered here at some point. I was playing with the CF-4 recommendation and then the IS on my 24-105 which led me to think 'Does it still work using this function'. Quick search and hey presto! yes it does. Anyway as all my questions have been answered so far onwards and upwards and a big thank you to all of you wizzkids/gents/ladies out there...:lol:

Ronald,

it doesn't get much better if you leave them the time to dry (and eat their way through your lens coatings, most likely :wink: )

Thats one question I don't think you will find in a search on here lol.
1. Lick the lens surface to moisten the offending booger.
2. Let stand for about a minute. A second licking may be necessary if the booger has really dried up (as in you live in the desert).
3. Use a soft lens issue to wipe off the now softened booger.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 as necessary.
5. Blow a breath on the surface of the lens and wipe off with another clean lens issue to finish.


There you go, Jeff. It's been answered. :mrgreen: :lol: ;)

Why do all men enjoy being what women call "Silly, stupid, immature, etc.", and I don't mean like immature like saying something dumb, I mean trying hard to be silly, going out of our way to just piss her off.

I sneeked a 5lb brownie mix into the kart when we were at Cosco today, I didn't want it or even like it...The only thing I liked was her saying "You don't need that! blah blah blah" at the checkout. I went out of my way to do something others might see as silly.

I think all men do it.

Why does the sack have a seam in it? :p Was that where god sowed you up after he finished making you?

Then did he raise on high the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, saying, "Bless this, O Lord, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the lambs and toads and tree-sloths and fruit-bats and orangutans and breakfast cereals ...

Now did the Lord say, "First thou pullest the Holy Pin. Then thou must count to three. Three shall be the number of the counting and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count two, excepting that thou then proceedeth to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the number of the counting, be reached, then lobbest thou the Holy Hand Grenade in the direction of thine foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."

Replace that with "third number", and you've more or less got it. ;-)

By the way, Sari, I'm far from a "man's man". I don't enjoy ANY of that stuff. Then again, not quite a "ladies' man" either! Hmm...I suppose that means that I'm my OWN man. :lol: I tried having friends...they talked about their Ford truck, I talked about my Cadillac. They talked about watching wrestling, and I watched I Love Lucy. They'd wanna go out and call each other "gay", while I'd rather watch an old movie with my grandmother. They'd grab the paper to look up showtimes at the theater, and I'd grab my Treo 650 and look it up on the web...and faster, I might add. ...You get the idea. I guess I enjoy "fine" things, and don't like "getting my hands dirty". It's not a class thing...I just enjoy technology, and have every little touchscreen wireless gizmo that's in production. that's my thing. I hate pickup trucks...I like comfort (Cadillac, which is probably worth less than their Fords by now, but do I TELL them that? ;-) ) They like their "popular" music, and I like my classical (as in 15th/16th century).

Eh...I'm just different...but I like it. :-) Needless to say, I've yet to find someone who I enjoy hanging out with, that enjoys hanging out with me too! I survive. ;-)

From a review at: ign (http://dvd.ign.com/articles/315/315445p1.html)

If you haven't seen this film, what the hell is wrong with you? Go out and watch it right now! You don't even need to read the rest of this review. This is easily one of the funniest films ever made and is the benchmark to which I judge every comedy.

Everyone who thinks that they enjoy a good comedy should be required to view this movie before saying that the latest cookie cutter summer comedy duo team-up is "funny".

No no, that was just one of their sketches on their show, "Monty Python's Flying Circus". However, you can buy the American version of "And Now For Something Completely Different", and you can see that sketch, along with the dead parrot, someone falling past the window (downwards), "military drills", and many more. It's quite fun. I tried to get my mom to watch it, but she couldn't understand their accents. :confused:
