Red-Ringed Tupperware Party with (ineffective) Tin Foil Hats (1)

[Woolburr]

Burping is by far a much classier maneuver! Belching is right up there with farting when it comes to tacky.

[wu_wei0]

If your PT is anything like what they did to me at the hospital yesterday - go back! It was incredible.
That ultrasound massage is magnificent, isn't it??
I wasn't too fond of the self induced electrical shock therapy, but it did wonders as well.

[Permagrin]

Sorry was just trying to help.



:lol: :lol: No worries...now you just been categorized as "tupperwarian guru extraordinaire" ;)

Hey...if you are talking about a TENS unit...those things are sweet once you get them properly adjusted...just need to make sure that someone hasn't cranked the intensity on you! :shock:

[Permagrin]

If you keep saying things like that, she won't let me adjust it anymore! :lol: :lol:

SSHHHHHHH dont say that too loud.

I liked mine when I had it after my knee injury. Of course I did kick a dent in my desk.

[wu_wei0]

Yeah a TENS thing but not one I got to bring home- one of those industrial strength ones. I had to buzz myself and keep increasing the intensity for 30+ min sessions. It did make me feel much better.

Nice avi wool

If you keep saying things like that, she won't let me adjust it anymore! :lol: :lol:
Keep your hands off my buzzer! Get your own!

[gjl711]

Tupperware rocks, but we got these huge containers and they most definitely make a fa*t when sealed. Lots of fun to do it slowly. Kind of reminds me of Granny when she would get out of her Lazyboy. Kids couldn’t help but laugh.

[Jamie Holladay]

.....reminds me of Granny when she would get out of her Lazyboy. Kids couldn’t help but laugh.
That is just wrong.

[Permagrin]

Keep your hands off my buzzer! Get your own!


You know, it's time you start sharing things sis...we're getting to old for me to have to "teach you a lesson" all the time :lol: :lol:

[Woolburr]

I think we are all just going to sit back and see where this goes!:cool:

Too true. Is mud wrestling involved? :twisted:

[gjl711]

That is just wrong.
Aw, come on, she was old and could not help sounding like a sealing Tupperware container. ;)

[wu_wei0]

You know, it's time you start sharing things sis...we're getting to old for me to have to "teach you a lesson" all the time :lol: :lol:
First, there are some things that are just not meant to be shared.:p

Second, "teaching you a lesson" can happen in many ways. I have generally found that honey works better than vinegar to get some people to do what you want. Of course there are some incorigibles that need a stick and others you just want to whale the tar out of for good measure.:lol:

Third-refer to the Old Dog/New Tricks Theorem. Perhaps the Porcine Tonality Principle may make more sense here: Never try to teach a pig to sing. YOu waste your time and it just annoys the pig. ;)

Of course, if you want to hash this out in a vat of warm buttered noodles, you know where you can find me:D

you forgot Fourth - Never waste time waging a war of words with a sociology professor...bring out the noodles! (but not too deep!) :lol:

[Jamie Holladay]

I think we are all just going to sit back and see where this goes!:cool:
Probably a good Idea.
Too true. Is mud wrestling involved? :twisted:
I think Green Jell-o

[Permagrin]

Probably a good Idea.

I think Green Jell-o

nah...green's not my best color...

[Jamie Holladay]

nah...green's not my best color...
... well ... one could only hope.

[wu_wei0]

you forgot Fourth - Never waste time waging a war of words with a sociology professor.

Especially not after she has just taught class and dominated a faculty meeting on assessment! I was primed for BS! lol

...bring out the noodles! (but not too deep!) :lol:
Noodles are more approprite for fall and winter comptetitions.
Now if this were summer, Jell-o would be appropriate, however green will never do. Mud is also an appropriate summer medium and it is good for the skin.
as for the deep end, sis. . . it is time to sink or swim!

[gjl711]

Chocolate, it's got to be chocolate. Nothing else will do. Chocolate or nothing.

If it's dark chocolate pudding, then it's a go!

Dark chocolate is to die for, but even that regular stuff is fine. None of that sugar free stuff though. It's just not right.

BTW, it would be better if you’d let it set up for a few hours and let that skin form. I have no idea what the heck that skin is but its delicious.:grin:

[short5]

The situation is wel in hand, and all harmful, or potentially-harmful content has been moved to a safe location for further analysis and necessary detoxification.

JON! I don't think we have talked much, I lurk here and hang in TPBM threads. I just noticed we are neighbors. I am over here near Randolph rd. and New Hampshire ave. Small world ~Zane

Check out the POTN Activities Forum then - we're working on a Chinese New Year Parade shoot along with someone's trying to get a meet at the Auto Show. Also there's someone else over by Wheaton Plaza.

ooooooh dark chocolate....

my grandfather used to work in a confectionary factory and he regularly brought back bags full of BIG lumps of chocolate... (they would scrape the sides inside the machine after they melted a batch and fill plastic bags to take home for the kids.) I bet nowadays tho they would get sacked for stealing.. in those days it was a perk of the job...

I grew up living on dark chocolate :)

I use to hate the stuff. I think it stems from an event when I was a kid. I loved to grab a spoon and just scoop out Nestles Quick. We ran out of Quick but had this Nestles dark chocolate. Well in went the spoon, scooped out a heap and popped it into my mouth. :shock: Instantly all moisture was sucked from my head. My tongue turned into a quivering fleshy slug as I tried to expel the most bitter chalky foul tasting substance I had ever tasted. :eek: I guess it was powered dark baking chocolate or something. Came in a very dark brown can. Anyway, now years later and with that painful memory buried deep, I can’t seem to get enough of the dark chocolate.

[cfpackerfan]

^^^^ ROFL! And I can guarantee you that you aren't the only kid to ever do that! :lol:

For me, the darker the better. Mmmmmm.

LOL i think we've all done something like that as a kid...
it was probably cocoa (the real stuff and not that crappy drinking choco stuff you get)

you should try cocoa sprinkled on a cappuccino (HEAVEN)

[Woolburr]

Big brown tin...Hershey's cocoa....never did figure out what that crap was for...but it sure doesn't go in a glass of milk.

[saravrose]

hi all.. finally home.. how's it going?

good for making quick brownies when you don't have the solid stuff to melt for it.
ah I see I missed the brownie discussion already. never mind.

[gjl711]

Oh, wait... I got a great brownie story... Um, maybe I shouldn’t tell it. :o

[Woolburr]

Melting stuff is always good....

If it involves little girls in funny looking uniforms...:evil:

[gjl711]

No, a bunch of guys lugging packages around ;)

[Woolburr]

In that case....bring it on!

[saravrose]

Hi Sari.

hi. how's your day been?

[gjl711]

In that case....bring it on!
Um, I lied, it wasn't those guys although that would have made a really great story. It was a telephone guy. One of my college housemates had an um… affinity to augment his brownies. We all knew better and stayed away, but the phone repair guy was evidently not enlightened and seeing them on the counter while fixing our kitchen phone snuck a few. Never did get to see the outcome but I am pretty certain he was in a very good mood for the rest of the day. How did we know it was the phone guy? Well Mr. Brownie augmenter was pi**ed as hell that someone ate about ½ of his brownies and we know it wasn’t us. :D

[Woolburr]

Super duper...how bout you?

[saravrose]

hehe... that's funny. :D .. I've heard about those 'brownies' since I was in highschool.. but haven't ever tried them..

Now that is a brownie story....would have been fun to follow that clown for the rest of his day....

If I had know he was sneaking them, I think I would have warned him. BTW, that roomie never made it to senior year. He's probably a politician somewhere. Maybe went off with Clinton but didn’t digest. ;)

Burning B.O. now that is just down right nasty. And how the heck do you know what burning B.O. smells like. Sticking a lighter under there while sweaty has really got to hurt. OUCH!!! :)

it's just an impression... not to be taken literally... ;)

[SuzyView]

Hi, everyone! I finally made it home after a crazy day. I have to admit, I am ready for pizza tonight, but I promised my son chicken & broccoli. Yum. Or I'll have to ask my hubby if he wants to drive to the Thai place and get dinner because I'm tired.

[wu_wei0]

Never smelled burning BO. ick.
smells like sage burning. When I smudged my office at the old school I got turned by custodial staff in for inhaling on campus grounds. All the while my supervisor at that time was inhaling away in her office at the other end of the hall.

jealous of the whole delivery thing at all..!! If I could I would deliver dominos just because I can..

I've been craving good Pad Thai all week. I went to a restaurant in Manassas three weeks ago and their Pad Thai was okay, not great. So, I've been wanting to go, but have had no time.

Sari, what's the deal with the moving?

[wu_wei0]

jeez.. I like to think of my prof's having a slightly higher standard.. :( .. oh well live and let live..
Wasn't a prof- I was working as a functional analyst then - developing software. The soc dept housed the grant that paid my salary so we officed there. was nice for that year I took off grad school. still kept my connection to the dept and sat in on classes on occasion.

hate to tell you this though- I know lots of faculty who inhale. I remember a big shot from an Ivy League school sitting on my hotel bed at conference inhaling his goodies and sharing with anyone who came in the door and wanted to. I even knew several who hd nice little closet gardens. lol

I don't know. I think i'll stay here for awhile.. a couple more months maybe.. unless I feel like leaving.. I'm going to try to stay put. we shall see.. my schedule has changed for the better and my job as well as one of my bosses attitude.. I don't know.. attempts are being made to make my work environment better so I feel like I should give it a fair chance.. and then ofcourse the summer season coming up which is incredibly lucrative.. time will tell.

oh those academic types...;) .. I'm just an old fashioned girl..

[SuzyView]

Oh, Wu, I don't envy you! I teach 4th grade math everyday and I help with all the math clubs in my sons' school. I do not get paid and I don't want to be. No one can tell me what to do and how to do it, I'm a volunteer for the clubs. It's a lot of work, but I remember my college days, how some professors worked their tails off and didn't get tenured. Office hours, grading exams, etc. I found out from a new friend that professors are now rated by students. What is that all about? I honestly think students have too much say in how things should be run and don't want to work hard to get a good grade. Grad students think they should get A's without working hard. My brother in law is a fantastic chemistry professor but lost funding in his lab so he is looking for work. It's awful out there. I hope you are enjoying your job and getting time to shoot.

[wu_wei0]

I'm not shooting at all anymore and in about a month or so I expect to be officially on the market. Thinking about a change of direction, leave teaching, go to advising full time, or something.

[Lightstream]

Puddle would LOVE that...you should invite him for dinner ;)

Good thing I didn't tell him about what I was cooking yesterday evening as we were chatting!

Sorry! We just had an All-Mod callout for a post where someone mentioned MDJAK, PetKal, duck, Noink, MOO and crop factor all in one sentence. The mind not only boggles, but actively reels.

WHOA!!! :shock:

Did MDJAK and Petkal finally get together for the big duck shootout contest they were planning on organizing down by the lake where the ducks moo and the cows quack, but using NOINK's this time as the surprise secret weapon in order to get a bit more reach using the 1.5X crop factor?

I'm missing out!!

Selling the gear?!

[puddlepirate44]

If you, Ron, and Puddle ever got together in the same room, it would be truly intimidating!

Actually, I don't think I'm intimidating at all. Maybe on that off chance when I get really, really mad, but otherwise...
Tis fun not being a little feller sometimes. :D

Between you and Ron, I would be the little guy. I'm only 5'8".... what I lack in height, I make up in girth.

http://forum-images.hardware.fr/images/perso/jibbi.gif

Great Cow!

As should now be evident, tinfoil suits are inadequate protection from thought-readers.


I would be afraid of the mod that read my mind. It's kinda like the black hole. Nothing goes on in there and the effects on thier intellect could be devastating....

[Permagrin]

Selling the gear?!

Nah...she's thinking of becoming a hula instructor in her off time...and when she's not dancing like wild firefly, she'll take photos ;)

[puddlepirate44]

I even knew several who hd nice little closet gardens. lol

I remember when I was a kid and my family went over to visit one of my cousins, who is quite a bit older than me. All the grown ups were in the living room, talking grown-up talk which left me and my other cousin, who was my age, free to roam around. I still remember opening up one of the closets and wondering, "Who in the world would grow such big ferns in a closet? Look, they even have lamps to help it grow. That's so weird...." My cousin, not wanting to explain anything to the naive me, opted to just close the door quietly and say, "They're just a little strange that way. Let's not speak of this, OK?"

[chemicalbro]

You've got the build of a stick-insect Alan. How did you manage that will all those calories? ;)
high metabolism i guess :)
i still eat tons of chocolate and cakes etc to this day...

Big brown tin...Hershey's cocoa....never did figure out what that crap was for...but it sure doesn't go in a glass of milk.

Whoohoo!! http://pix.lightrefineries.org/img/dance.gif


That's why you're a mod, we peons are content with ducks. I did however at least take my 100-400 out for one hawk and owl shoot :)

See if I can get some 'metal birds' today with my 1-4.. I usually shoot the metal birds and sometimes they turn out very well.

[belmondo]

Okay...now for the important stuff....My LENS came!!!Outstanding!! It's a great lens, and in your hands, I'm sure it will be even greater. Have fun with it this weekend.

[Maureen Souza]

Outstanding!! It's a great lens, and in your hands, I'm sure it will be even greater. Have fun with it this weekend.
I won't have as much fun without you.

[Woolburr]

How do you like the heft of that baby?

[Maureen Souza]

It gives my 85/1.2 a real run for the money. But I am strong from years of lifting and turning patients so I can deal with it. When it gets heavy, I will switch to shooting people with my 28-75 lightweight.

[Woolburr]

Now this baby really qualifies as a brick...

[saravrose]

jealous, just a little bit but I am... I want to shop the last thing I bought was my tammy... or maybe I should just buy some snowshoes and use what I have?....

[puddlepirate44]

Absolutely not. I am going eagle watching Saturday.....time to raise the bar;) :D

Yeah? Well.... I was going to go out with my lens and shoot the the Nebula of Orion with my 18-55. Yeah! Then, also with the 18-55, I was going to capture the remains of the lunar lander on the Sea of Tranquility from Apollo 11. Then, after that, I was going to climb Everest and take funny candid shots of the Sherpas that went with me. Yeah! All this weekend, too!

OOOoooo.... Pretty lens. Someone's gonna have lots of fun. I have been trying to convince the finance folks at work that a 70-200IS is just the thing they need but no one is biting. :( I guess the bean counters just don't see the potential of being to take a pic of a circuit board from across the lab. They just don't understand the artistic process.;)

And not to dwell on the cocoa thing, but how can something so nasty make something so good. It's one of the mysteries of the universe.

[Woolburr]

OOOoooo....

You do know that Tupperware is one of the manliest substances on the face of the planet? Ok... you have gone too far. Tupperware is a lot of things, it's handy, it's colorful in it's own muted way, it has a strange oder, and a unique and slightly embarrassing sound when sealed, but it's not manly, nope, not manly at all.

well, bees are nasty (literally) but honey is quite nice
snails are quite nasty but escargot is very nice

conversely roses are quite nice and taste quite nasty
and whales are awesome but taste yukky...unless you are an Inuit...

Manly? Like, "Hey, let's go kill some Elk with just a couple of rocks!" or, "I just had my whole head ripped off by that combine. But I'm OK. I just put it back on with duct tape." or, "I think that girl who's old enough to be my daughter thinks that my middle aged, cholesterol ridden, fat infused body is hawt." or, "No, no. Put three whole jalapenos on my sandwich. I can take it." or, "Don't let this pear shaped appearance fool ya. I can bench press a Buick. Really." or, "Women will swoon when I drive up in my fully loaded, high horse powered, chromed out, NASCAR approved, barely street legal Pinto." or, "I don't eat vegetables. I get all the nutrition I need from pork rinds and beer."

Is that what you mean by manly? 'Cuz I'M THERE! I'M ALL OVER THAT!

What could be manlier than Tupperware? You can use it for everything from oil changes to parts cleaning...virtually indestructible...and then there is the whole thing with the bodily function sound effects...Tupperware was definitely designed by men, for men...:p

whales are awesome but taste yukky...unless you are an Inuit...

Giant plankton eating sea mammal, I suspect they are quite tasty.

[SuzyView]

Wow, Maureen, that thing's a monster! You'll have nightmares, send it to me! I'll take care of it! :)

[Woolburr]

Manly? Like, "Hey, let's go kill some pork rinds and beer in my fully loaded, cholesterol ridden, pear shaped Buick."

Is that what you mean by manly? 'Cuz I'M THERE! I'M ALL OVER THAT!

That works....hehehe

[puddlepirate44]

Well, uh, yeah, kinda. That's the gist of it... :shock:

snails are quite nasty but escargot is very nice There is nothing right about snails, it's like snott with chunks.

......and then there is the whole thing with the bodily function sound effects...Tupperware was definitely designed by men, for men...:p All right, the body function sound effect is manly.

[Permagrin]

Sweatshirt....

Oh sorry...forgot to include the smelly bodily functions as well....


This place is slowly becoming a frat house...you guys already have worn the lampshade...and Wool's beer fridge is enough for any event! Puddle can tell large enough whoppers to satisfy any local authorities...and gjl711 will be mainlining cocoa so...yeah, a frat house...

Hey, I just read an article where Ford lost $1925 on every car that they sold last year. I mean, I know that cars loose their value when driven off of the showroom floor, but out the factory door? Ouch!!

[Maureen Souza]

I am playing...pardon my absence.

[puddlepirate44]

(no worries PG.. you fit right in with the guys :D)

Only slightly....

[T.D.]

Yeah? Well.... I was going to go out with my lens and shoot the the Nebula of Orion with my 18-55. Yeah! Then, also with the 18-55, I was going to capture the remains of the lunar lander on the Sea of Tranquility from Apollo 11. Then, after that, I was going to climb Everest and take funny candid shots of the Sherpas that went with me. Yeah! All this weekend, too!

*stomps off, grumbling, "Man, I wish I could go on an Eagle shoot....*

Sorry man, I can't believe Mo(o) didn't invite you either! You and Belmondo can sulk together!


Boy, you guys were super-chatty today! Took me quite awhile just to catch up.

[Permagrin]

I went out to dinner with a colleague after work.

Curry will fix your colon in a hurry!

[puddlepirate44]

terabytes make the best stuff. Why, just the other day, I made a very nice toasted terabyte sandwich, with provolone and peppercini on sourdough, with a side of BBQ Ram chips.

[Permagrin]

Curry will fix your colon in a hurry!

Is that broken too? :shock: :shock: (*ppssst Wool...perhaps the Chief might not appreciate our discussing his broken colon...especially if it's no longer under warranty...he might just want to let them deal with it at Irvine as well....*)

Hey Zane...nice to know that whale munchies are appreciated by someone other than native Alaskans...

Just a theory and I don't imagine I will be trying it anytime soon.

You guys are going out to SLO? That's cool. My dad went to CalPoly there. I always liked the coast out that way.

[Lightstream]

add curry.

Must be my tale of the cooking that is still running through your mind eh? ;) anyway if you come down I can give you some. I will FedEx it, but it may not taste so good by the time it gets there :p

RAW is cooked, now pixel peeping it. :)

The nice thing is that my ISP recently upgraded me to 8Mbps down, 768Kbps up ADSL. I am not so concerned about the down (though it is nice) but the increased upload speed really rocks for the days when I need to upload images to my gallery.

[puddlepirate44]
