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

[Jon]

I suspect that Jon might know more than he will let on. Getting even with the Chief for his "B team" comment.I had absolutly NOTHING to do with the Tin Foil Hats in the new title.

BTW; if you quote an earlier post, your post accepts that post's title; if you're not quoting you get the thread title. I think 14037's the last pure RRTP though.

[Woolburr]

I notice you are wearing a foil hat though...

[Maureen Souza]

If there is a mt. lion lurking about, I will send Dwight in to scare it off. That should be a foolproof plan.

[Woolburr]

Why does everybody pick on Dwight? :D

[Permagrin]

To continue the quote theme:


"You can take a cat out of the jungle but you cannot take the tupperware out!"

q.v. "Ravening stalk & kill Jungle Tupperware, belching "odour du prey" is a dangerous beast and not easily overcome. We are told that they proliferate in the eastern the United States, mainly in NY and NC, where they are known to, after having caught their prey, first convince them that Tupperware is "Manly" and "the option du jour" before devouring them slowly...starting with the brains.." (wiki-strangemedia)

[Maureen Souza]

Why does everybody pick on Dwight? :D
Ohhhh....you gotta know Dwight. He begs for it...and loves it although he would protest that.

[Jon]

I notice you are wearing a foil hat though...Your reception is being garbled by the TFH radiator you've got on. And the aluminium manties don't help. But the re-radiation of your thoughts from all that is (unfortunately; you should be ashamed of yourself for those thoughts!) coming through to the Mod-ulator loud and clear.

Proof positive that my plan is working. I personally never opt to wear any foil garb...instead I rely on trusted associates like John and Moppie to don the garb and send and receive the community signals. This leaves me free to browse among the unsuspecting...making careful note of behaviors and actions. ;)

[gjl711]

Hey, on a serious note, I use to have these socks that had aluminum thread woven along with the regular thread. They were these super thin space age insulating thermal socks. As long as you foot stayed in the boot, they worked and your feet were warmer, but step in snow and they instantly would freeze your feet. I guess the smart guy who thought those up forgot to check the thermal conductivity of aluminum.

[Woolburr]

I had the gloves that went with the socks....as long as you used them with outer gloves....they worked very well.

Glad to be of service.

I think that you may all be interested in seeing the tin-foil hat song (http://eclectech.co.uk/mindcontrol.php). Of course the mods already know what I'm thinking, but for the rest of us ESP-challenged mortals, this could be useful.

Your sacrifices will not go unnoticed! I'm sending you a fresh bucket of goose fat.

I would recommend another layer of tin-foil. You're not quite in control here.

Ya, they really otter know betta. :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Permagrin]

aaaaaaaaaauuuuuuugh! I've never had an earworm as pernicious as that "I've got my tinfoil hat on!" auuuuuuuuugh!!! (listeners beware...)

[Woolburr]

Singing otters will do that to you.

[gjl711]

I've been doing a little research and have searched here extensively and either the information has been deleted from this site, which I believe might be the case, or all here are just not informed and misusing the TFH. Anyway, i broke out the old books and first noticed that it is crucially important how thick the foil is. If it is less than .5mm it will allow wavelengths above 20kHZ to pass. But more importantly unless the TFH is grounded the induced radiation on the inside of the sphere will re-radiate and focus the offending mind control signal directly to the core of the brain thus amplifying it's effects. This then is the key piece and why it is so important to redirect that electromagnetic energy to somewhere else like to your TFUP. So, please invest in a small cable so that cranium and bottom can be directly tied electrically together. Don't be dumb, let them control you bum.

[rudgej]

Interesting theory. So could the goose fat/coal tar interface between my cheeks and the foil help this conduction?

[gjl711]

Goose fat as we all know is an insulator. That is why geese do now were coats when they are outside in the cold. But coal tar contains carbon. Carbon is a known conductor used extensively in WWII microphones. Thus the coal tar could be relaying hidden messages transmitted during WWII and just activated now.

[rudgej]

You know I did wonder why geese wore coats. Evidently it is different with ducks as Donald never had to wear trousers.

Just in case there are people out there that do not know how to make a TFH, here's a handy guide (http://zapatopi.net/afdb/afdbdiagram.pdf) in PDF format.

[gjl711]

When we were kids, we had a guy in out neighborhood, his name was Donald too. He was several years older than than us, and he had trouble keeping his pants on as well. My mom always told me we shouldn't make fun of him because he was slow. But every time I saw him he ran pretty fast. I figured I'd run pretty fast too if I had no pants on.

[rudgej]

Strange neighbourhood you lived in, but I guess that it throws some light on your shiny dress sense. ;)

[Jamie Holladay]

share this with your friends and neighbors.

Oh John you for got to post the cleaning procedures and the danger of wearing a TFH in a lighting storm. Find that INFO HERE (http://zapatopi.net/afdb/usage.html)

[Jon]

Congratulations, ALL! We've blown past the GKPE General Ramblings in length. Truly an accomplishment to be proud(?) of. And it's all Woolbur's fault^h^h^h^h^heffort, with a second to Permagrin.

[Lightstream]

Now Maureen, you MUST give up your ties to civilization...in order to photograph eagles, you must be ONE with nature (leave the laptop at home....be freeeeee)

Be freeeee....however at the same time one must take along ultra high tech EOS glass with more computing power in the camera body than most desktops have, eh? :p

Well I guess you could try large format eagle photography for a REAL challenge, putting the loupe against the ground glass and cropping the 6x6 negative to the size of a rice grain in order to get the eagle with the equivalent of a 50mm standard lens ;)

Congratulations, ALL! We've blown past the GKPE General Ramblings in length. Truly an accomplishment to be proud(?) of. And it's all Woolbur's fault^h^h^h^h^heffort, with a second to Permagrin.

:mrgreen: You wouldn't believe what those two get up to.. at least I still try to put a proportion of my posts in other sections of the forum :D

[Maureen Souza]

Gave the new lens a workout today.... I do not shoot birds but I caught this egret at the local duck pond today. It's probably the best bird shot I ever took so don't be too critical.

Wow, nice! Seriously! You caught this one well, wings extended, nice shadow on the ground, landing gear parallel to each other..

... that duck still seems to have a very long neck though ;) ;) ;)

[thomascanty]

Why does no one say they want to live in Oregon?

Well... It's Oregon! :p ;) :lol:

Does that make this the longest thread then?

Not by a long shot. "The Photo Below Me" thread in Competitions is still way ahead.

[Woolburr]

Not to worry...they will have something new to discuss....and leap back into the lead.

[T.D.]

Actually...the title changed sometime between 3am and 7am EST while I was catching a nap...came back to find it had been tampered with

I suspect that Jon might know more than he will let on. Getting even with the Chief for his "B team" comment.

The B Team is a vindictive bunch, aren't they?!

For those of you who think because we are going out of town and won't be around, wrong!wrong! wrong!

We'll have our laptop. We are only driving 2 hours each way. You can't get away from us that easily.

Can't stand the thought of the B Team watching us, can you? I think there's a lot more to this whole Mod Rivalry thing than we know....

I had absolutly NOTHING to do with the Tin Foil Hats in the new title.

BTW; if you quote an earlier post, your post accepts that post's title; if you're not quoting you get the thread title. I think 14037's the last pure RRTP though.

Notice how Jon limited his comment to "nothing to do with the tin foil hats in the new title." Based on my training, I'm going to have to say he's trying to be deceptive. Had he said "I had absolutely nothing to do with the new title" that would have been more believable. Sorry Jon. I'm not buying it!


;)

[gjl711]

I think that you may all be interested in seeing the tin-foil hat song .....I'm having a real problem with this song. I can't seem to get it out of my head. It's just playing over and over. Usually when I have a song in my head, I can pass it along to my wife, but she is not familiar with this one and refuses to watch the video. I'm afraid that there is some evil buried in the flash, something akin to "The Ring" I have a week to go and my head will explode...

While I figured it was possible to drive long haul the way you do, I kinda sorta suspected it might take its toll on you in various ways, not all of them positive.. that's why I try to limit how far I drive in a day..

Okay....I'm over my potty mought. Looks like I scared everyone away, though.

I am here...just had to share the laptop with Sir Skip. Actually...we are headed off to bed so we can get up and functions all day tomorrow.

Lisa: I know how you feel about bird shooting. I actually took about 6 decent bird shots today. I am sure it will never happen again 0)

All my cats ever do is demand food.

I had to learn Morse Code back when I was doing "Flashing Light". For some reason, it's forever stuck in my head...

[Permagrin]

hey Permie...#3 is just plain sweet...very nice shot indeed!

Thanks Wool...it's my favorite...as for the others I'm still trying to get the hang of the bif shots. One day, I'll surprise you all with one that's IN FOCUS ;) ! I'm trying to get used to getting the shutter speed up...very hard for me to do...anyway most of the raw files from today are still processing so those were the ones that were done..we didn't see much else today...except a couple of bunnies...

Seems like it's been very quiet around here though...where is everyone?

[misspix]

Nice birds Permie, I'm lovin' #3 :)

Maureen I saw you egret shot! That was very nice indeed! What a nice christening for the new lens!!!

[puddlepirate44]

I don't know if it's ethical for me to comment on my wife's photos or not, but I think that #3 is cracker. I was trying to capture that same shot right next to her, and all mine went straight to the dustbin....

LOL...lazy bird wouldn't budge from the edge of the pond. I finally sent Aaron running in its direction so I could get a flight shot.:rolleyes:

I always have a bowl of dry kibble out, so my cats aren't obsessed with food like other people's cats. They do demand attention all the time, though.

Don't know why you shouldn't be allowed to comment on them...a nice shot is a nice shot...anyone should be able to appreciate it.

That's funny. That's what Lisa does with me. "Hey, Big Oaf. Go lumber over there and scare the pretty birdy..."

[theflyingkiwi]

I had a penchant for peanut butter and pickle sandwiches as a kid.

that sounds yuck. been a peanut butter and jam or hunny kid myself. I still like even today.

For years, I planted a veggie garden. My favorite was sugar snap peas. Unfortunately, none of them ever made it into the house. I planted them to snack on while I worked in the garden!!

I like the sound of that, planning ahead. I really didn't know that women could do that ;)

:lol:

Just come back from going out to dinner with the family. it was nice and all but the pudding was chocolate and almonds, however didn't see a single almond :(

Oh, we leave some cat food out for them, too. However, I think they get upset if it's twenty minutes old, or the presentation is not just so, or I happen to be eating something else.....

Well, I am off to bed before I get dangerously close to any of your post counts in this thread;)

I'll be off line tomorrow but probably back on late tomorrow night after we get home.

Thank's Terri! Did Puddle tell you I tried that Texas tea finally? (it was very SMOOTH!)

Have fun tomorrow Maureen...we're going to hit the coast and see what we can sea :D

Night all...I'm beat!

funny you should say that I am 1/2 way around the world. I think the same thing. :confused:

[wu_wei0]

I was on the Mac working all evening and checking occasionally til almost 10:30-- very quiet here. Go to sleep for a few hours and there are pages upon pages to catch up on. I'm beginning to think it is a personal thing.

[thomascanty]

I'm beginning to think it is a personal thing.

Yep. We just wait for you to leave before we start gabbing away. Don't take it too personally...

[Athena]

I was sure it was because I'd gone out for lunch Wu...

[Lightstream]

We went shooting today (dang birds are gonna be the death of me yet)....had fun though...tested out the new tripod head...I like it :D


Ahh, that's good to hear. :)


and spent a while photoing another GBH
(loved the pose/reflection of this one)
http://LC-images.smugmug.com/photos/125680183-L.jpg


Very cool! The reflection makes the photo.


I'm here. I was trying to catch up. It's getting harder and harder to do that....

No wonder the forum has been quiet.. the PP Couple have been out shooting instead of raising L here.. oh wait, raising L is Chief's job, and he's certainly done that today after his long commute :p


(and no Wool...oh well maybe I am having a bit of a tupperware talking phobia but that's not why I wasn't on today ;) )


No need to be in denial. Ya better run. I think I am catching up with Wool too :p

Wool, you need to post more!!!

[wu_wei0]

How can I not?

I went to work on a tattoo photo I promised Zane and look what happened in my absence! ;)

[Athena]

I'm leaving soon for a much NOT anticipated evening out. I'm sure they'll start gabbing it up before I've even gotten out of the driveway! ;)

got a red tail

this one's a little noisy because I had the ec -2/3 (don't ask me why)

and this isn't a great shot but he looked so cool all spread out
http://LC-images.smugmug.com/photos/125680260-M.jpg

Nice shots Permadoodle. The GBH is quite nice!

HOWEVER -- THAT'S NOT A RED TAIL!!!

That's a Northern Harrier. I think we've been over this before! :rolleyes::rolleyes:

See the white rump patch? That's a classic indicator of a Northern Harrier. Now remember, not everything with a white rump patch is a harrier (like Muddy, for example). However, when you see a "red tail" with a white rump patch -- it's a HARRIER!

Notice also the "squattier" head--almost owl-like. Another helper to know it's a HARRIER!

When you see them flying low and going back and forth over a field -- good indication it's a HARRIER!Also, notice how the tail is actually dark brown and NOT RED AT ALL -- good indication it's NOT A RED TAIL!

Okay, perhaps I shouldn't read your bird posts before my first cup of coffee!

BTW, I'm heading to Eugene today to visit a friend and plan to leave extra early and stop at WF. Maybe I'll see a red tail or two -- NOT! But I'm certain I'll see a HARRIER!

;);)

[Woolburr]

Good grief Dogfather...what are you doing up at this ungodly hour?

[T.D.]

I love getting up early on the weekend. It stretches out my free time!

And besides, Turner's bladder doesn't recognize weekends! ;-) He's on a schedule you know.

[Woolburr]

Funny how doggies are like that.

[T.D.]

Funny how doggies are like that.

Yes, and as you might imagine for a 95 pound golden retriever, he's very good at letting you know what his needs are. If you don't wake up to the quiet whine at 5:15, he's good at accidently "nudging" the bed. And when I say nudging, I mean shaking it like a California earthquake!

[Woolburr]

I'm familiar with that....except I usually have 3 of them in bed with me...one 70 pounder, a 50 pounder and a 12 pounder. And when it is time to go...they make their presence known.

[puddlepirate44]

Hey, TD, I saw a bunch of Harriers out at WF yesterday. :oops: :rolleyes:

[saravrose]

I had a rott my second year of college. My little brother picked her up out of a box in front of the grocery store.. I lived alone but was never lonely funny the way dogs can do that.. ofcourse my brother told me she was a border collie not a Rott and she ended up dislocating my shoulder once.... I think maybe you shouldn't have pets that are your size.. But, I loved her and would get one again..

My all time favorite dog is the English Springer Spaniel. I grew up with 'em. They're just an awesome dog.

I'd like a king charles spaniel.. or a cocker spaniel... and I really like my nieghbors border collies.. Not sure if i'd get another rottweiler she was kind of a big girl. But, much sweeter than those ankle biters.. Then again my cousin has two mastiffs who make her look like an ankle biter.

So, I'm guessing you had Permie help with the ID?! :rolleyes:;)

Riiiiiiight!

Here's the actual scenario...


Muddy:

Hey Perm, look at the pretty birdies.

Perm:

That's nice dear.

Muddy:

I'm pretty sure that's a starling and a house sparrow. They're pretty rare, aren't they?!!

Perm:

Uh Huh, but did you see the really big birds that just flew over?

Muddy:

I don't have time for that, I'm looking at these really exotic birds right now (Looks up to see 2 Golden Eagles and a Peregrine Falcon, and of course a Northern Harrier, flying away in the distance)

Perm:

(On the way home). What a great day of seeing Red Tails! I can't wait to share my pictures with everyone!!

Hey Dogfather....you saying we need to buy Permie an Audubon Society guide to big birdies? And Puddle the corresponding guide to small birdies?

[saravrose]

So, I'm guessing you had Permie help with the ID?! :rolleyes:;)

vet. and don't make fun of me five week old balls of fur all look the same.. She was black and brown and itty bitty.. My brother said the guys outside the grocery store said that she was a border collie mix. :rolleyes: .. Vet said she was a beautiful Rottweiler puppy but, by then she was wearing a pink collar, was named Mollie and I was in 'puppy love' literally. So she stayed.

That's EXACTLY what I'm saying. Trouble is, I KNOW she has a bird book. I'm not sure why she's (apparently) never opened it....

Perhaps she'll consider taking it with her on her next Red Tail outing!
