Apparently, Cuitlacoche is an Aztec word for 'Raven's excrement"
I believe it. :shock: You know what's weird, i heard the term 'corn smut' for the first time yesterday, and now I'm looking at a picture of it today.
Coincidence?? :shock: No I think your search brought all of this on in an ESP kinda way.

*shiver*
:)
he's got ya now huh?
I used to fly fish, but fish only when doing other outdoor pursuits. I don't head out just for fishing much any more, so I have given up on the fly fishing and tend to just do spin casting and a bit of trolling. I usually go fishing off the shores or jetties myself...no boat for me yet. I've rented a john boat before...won't again.

[BearLeeAlive]And no Robert, no spankies for you. :p
Maybe one of the girls would be of assistance. :smile:[/quote]
Darn!

My Dad had that happen to one of his corn a few years ago - it's NASTY looking.
So did you eat it?

[Athena]

So did you eat it?negative. I wasn't here when it happened, but he took a photo for me. No one ate it - I think they just stared at it a lot and talked about how gross it was. lol It didn't affect the whole crop (he has a small garden).

[neil_r]

Ok I am going to risk it again (having just recovered from the ribbing it took for admitting to liking John Prine)

Have any of you listened to Richard Hawley (used to be backing vocals and guitar in Pulp) Two Albums:- Coles Corner and Lady's Bridge.

I recommend them both to you.

[Guineh]

My Dad had that happen to one of his corn a few years ago - it's NASTY looking. :mad:

I remember a long time ago when I was a kid, we had a few rows of corn stalks growing behind our yard (in the easement area between our yard and a soybean field...) We'd get lots of wonderful fresh corn, then it happened. The mutant ear, as we called it. We didn't know what caused it, and we didn't know what it was, but the corn kernels were all huge and puffy, gray and black, and the smell... Ohhhh the smell. Horrid stuff.. surprised the heck out of me to see it canned and ready to eat.

Good song...(Coles Corner) I like it.

[cfpackerfan]

Neil, he is a great guitar player. And he has a great voice.
I could listen to this one. If I was in the right mood.
Maybe. :lol:

Just like the Rain (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9YsRSsAtY8&mode=related&search=)

[Athena]

The video was funny (Cole's Corner)! I could listen to that in the right mood...


On a related note, I have discovered that finding my "favorite" radio station on the web was not a good thing. I've over listened to it and it's annoying me now. :roll: They repeat songs like mad! dummyheads...

ew ew ew - just got to the part on that site about the corn smut. BAD BAD images and discussion about what it looks like. BAD Steve! (insert pukey smilie)

This week's WWPD assignment: Corn Smut. (even the name sounds dirty...)

[Becky N]

About as much as I've gotten with organ meats is turkey giblets.. (heart, liver, gizzard)

You need to come up this way to Byron, where they hold the annual Turkey Testicle Festival.:-)

[neil_r]

I ordered the DVD "Corn Smut - The FULL Story" Boy was I disappointed when I sat down to watch it :o

[Athena]

Mike - this is your fault. I am sitting all alone in the house quite literally laughing out loud so hard that my eyes are watering at the way that guy writes! :lol: :lol: He is hysterical.

Then there was the "white" wine. This one's aroma was slightly more earthy. Do you know that smell of grass right after it's cut? That's nice. I was just making chit-chat, because this smelled like xxxxx(nastiness, not appropriate here).
I really don't understand what could have gone wrong! I used moldy bread and socks, EXACTLY LIKE THE RECIPE SAID!

[Guineh]

You need to come up this way to Byron, where they hold the annual Turkey Testicle Festival.:-)

Umm, I'll pass... :)

Mike - this is your fault. I am sitting all alone in the house quite literally laughing out loud so hard that my eyes are watering at the way that guy writes! :lol: :lol: He is hysterical.

He has a way with words doesn't he...?

This week's WWPD assignment: Corn Smut. (even the name sounds dirty...)
Ahhh....now there is an idea for this weekends Food theme. If I can find a can, I am gonna take a picture of it....but I won't eat it.

You need to come up this way to Byron, where they hold the annual Turkey Testicle Festival.:-)
Turkey's have testicles?

[Becky N]

I HATED lobster, I HATED crab, I HATED shrimp, I HATED oysters!

Tis OK, leaves more for me as I love seafood...fresh shucked oysters on the half-shell, mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm!:-D

[Guineh]

Turkey's have testicles?

Approximately half of them do...

[neil_r]

Turkey's have testicles?

But they keep them neatly tucked in

[Pete]

Neil. Quick question for you. Do you find that your Giga Vue takes ages to charge up? I've been charging it fully up and down all day long and it seems to take an age to fully charge.

[short5]

Tis OK, leaves more for me as I love seafood...fresh shucked oysters on the half-shell, mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm!:-Dmmmmmmm!!!

Okay other than turkey balls and oysters I am way behind. I am spinning through but don't know when I will catch up. Hi people:)

[Becky N]

Corn Smut. (even the name sounds dirty...)

First time I saw Corn Smut, it reminded me of the dreams I had as a kid when I had a fever. Ever had the kind where a single strand of hair feels as thick as a cable? It was not a pleasant memory recall.

[Skrim17]

well this has certainly been an interesting day's conversation.

[Becky N]

Turkey's have testicles?

Only the Tom's.

[3Turner]

Approximately half of them do...

But they keep them neatly tucked in
So when its cold they disappear.

[Becky N]

I am spinning through but don't know when I will catch up. Hi people:)

Hi Zane, I'm doing the same. In fact I have to go, already went 15 minutes over my lunch hour. :rolleyes:

[Athena]

Hi people:)
Hi Zane. :)

[cfpackerfan]

Mike - this is your fault. I am sitting all alone in the house quite literally laughing out loud so hard that my eyes are watering at the way that guy writes! :lol: :lol: He is hysterical.I know... that's what I was doing earlier. They way he writes had me in hysterics.




Turkey's have testicles? My thoughts exactly. :lol:

[3Turner]

When I was young I always had the same dream when I was sick. It was always dreaming of playing with gigantic rubber wheels, passing them back and forth between me and my siblings or cousins. The dream was wierd and surreal...always left me feeling like I was floating around the room. It could have been the medication though:rolleyes:.

John Prine is a big favourite of mine. Good stories, fun to play on guitar around the camp fire..

Haven't heard of R Hawley
:shock: Cole's Corner (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pR-MTZVppkA&mode=related&search=)

:shock: :shock:
Sounds fine, nice easy listening stuff. He does have a great voice.
But they keep them neatly tucked in
As I so often have to do around here. :p

To say the least, must be Friday, eh? :)

****MUST NOT COMMENT****

[cfpackerfan]

RE: silkworm pupae....

Any words in an oval demand attention. The yellow oval on this can says "High Protein - Great side dish when drinking alcohol." I imagine this came from the silkworm marketing team when faced with the nagging question "Who the ****'s gonna eat this?!" The answer: DRUNKS!

[Athena]

I think I broke the HOA rules today. :shock:

[neil_r]

Neil. Quick question for you. Do you find that your Giga Vue takes ages to charge up? I've been charging it fully up and down all day long and it seems to take an age to fully charge.

Usually about 2 hours or there abouts for me.

[BearLeeAlive]

Hey Zane, have fun catching up. :)

[3Turner]

****MUST NOT COMMENT****
Oh you know you want to....you can't hold it in forever.:lol:

[3Turner]

I think I broke the HOA rules today. :shock:
Oooo...what did you do that may piss off the HOA?

[BearLeeAlive]

Oh you know you want to....you can't hold it in forever.:lol:
Unless it's cold though, right? :lol:

[BearLeeAlive]

Umm, what is HOA? :confused:

[Pete]

Usually about 2 hours or there abouts for me.

Thanks. My Evo is about the same... Sure does drain fast when you do copy + verify + build cahced views though.

Superb bit of kit though. Best LCD display I've seen for previewing pictures!!

Zane - Night of the Burn (http://images.burningman.com/index.cgi?q_keyword=&q_year=&q_category=burn_night&q_photog=&go.x=11&go.y=19) Thanks Athena:) I am familiar with the event and would love to go. Another great event was Bob Lazar's Desert Blast.

So how well does ripstop nylon hold back grizzly bears?http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j23/shortwave5/Day11001.jpg

[Athena]

Oooo...what did you do that may piss off the HOA?

I put a line up outside to dry my towels. It was killing me to run the dryer for towels. Laundry lines are forbidden. :shock:
It's hidden on my fenced patio though, so hopefully no one will notice or care and I won't get shat on. :)

Umm, what is HOA? :confused:Home Owners Association - same people who forbid my children to ride their bikes on the grass or the sidewalk (I let them ride on the grass - ha!)

[short5]

Thats as far as I got caught up. I have to run and will be at the barn tonight so I have no idea when I will catch you all, have fun.

Home Owners Association - same people who forbid my children to ride their bikes on the grass or the sidewalk (I let them ride on the grass - ha!)

[BearLeeAlive]

LMAO, will remember that. :)

Zane, where was that sign photo shot?

I have seen the results of a bear breaking through the walls of a hard sided travel trailer when going after food inside. They actually started by breaking a window, then pulling the wall apart.
(I let them ride on the grass - ha!)
You are quite the rebel Athena. :lol:

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j23/shortwave5/Day11001.jpg
I don't know if that's a bear warning. I think the impilcation is for the...ummm...bunny people to be considerate to other 'families' near by. :rolleyes:

You are a rebel. Is it bad that I am attracted to bad girls?

[Skrim17]

Is it just me of has Deb been MIA??

[BearLeeAlive]

You are a rebel. Is it bad that I am attracted to bad girls?
My momma always told me about these bad girls, I then went on a mission to find them. :p

[BearLeeAlive]

Is it just me of has Deb been MIA??
I can't remember if she said she was up to something, but she has not been around for a bit.

[cfpackerfan]

She peeked in the door yesterday.

[3Turner]

My momma always told me about these bad girls, I then went on a mission to find them. :p
So...did you ever find them?

[puddlepirate44]

What is Head Cheese?

Two words that should never be put together anywhere in the same sentence.

he highlighted the letters that pertain to his time zone.

Cool! I figure out the code before the answer!!

:shock: Cole's Corner (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pR-MTZVppkA&mode=related&search=)

Nice guitar.

G'MAE, All.

[3Turner]

But what about Cheese Head....careful with your answer though.

[BearLeeAlive]

So...did you ever find them?
A few, but settled on a good one. ;)

[cfpackerfan]

But what about Cheese Head....careful with your answer though.
Be very careful. ;)

[3Turner]

Be very careful. ;)
Oh...she noticed! I knew I was not discreat enough:lol:.

[3Turner]

What time do you get out of school?? Tests already? Lucky you.

[Guineh]

Home Owners Association - same people who forbid my children to ride their bikes on the grass or the sidewalk (I let them ride on the grass - ha!)

They seriously will not allow kids to bike on the sidwalk? what do they expect, for kids to ride their bicycles on the street? That seems rather unsafe and an accident ready to happen... :evil:

[Maxed Out]

OH great. :lol: Pugs are full of photographic opportunities. :lol: :lol:

yeah, its hard to watch tv with its LOUD breathing:lol::lol:

What time do you get out of school?? Tests already? Lucky you.

You are a rebel. Is it bad that I am attracted to bad girls?:shock:

They seriously will not allow kids to bike on the sidwalk? what do they expect, for kids to ride their bicycles on the street? That seems rather unsafe and an accident ready to happen... :evil:Yes, seriously! This neighborhood is NOT child friendly. It was when we bought here, but it's gone decidedly geriatric since then. Seems old people don't like kids. Who knew...

If my kids aren't allowed on the sidewalk, then they can drive on the grass. So says I. I let them drive their bikes up the hill in the back yard too - the same one they slide down on with cardboard sleds. ;) So far no complaints lodged, but I know if I lived here full time I'd end up fined for sure... I am meant to live out in the country with no neighbors for miles. It's in my blood.

[3Turner]

... - the same one they slide down on with cardboard sleds.
Hey I did that one time on Mt. Charleston in Las Vegas one year when it snowed. Fun as h3ll!!!

Are you guys following the Maddy McCann case over there? It's all getting very strange...

[thomascanty]

Who is Maddy McCann?

[Pete]

Current top story on CNN.com

[eenorton]

Current top story on CNN.com

Oh yeah. I remember when that story first came out... I always thought it was a bit... oh I don't know.... if I was staying in a hotel, I can't imagine that I would leave my child alone in the room to go to the restaurant.

And G'MAE everyone.

[thomascanty]

Ooooh, that story. I heard about it a month or two ago. I haven't heard anything lately, though. What kind of strange turn is it taking?

[Pete]

Oh yeah. I remember when that story first came out... I always thought it was a bit... oh I don't know.... if I was staying in a hotel, I can't imagine that I would leave my child alone in the room to go to the restaurant.

And G'MAE everyone.

Exactly what we're thinking as well, especially since they had friends in the area. It just doesn't occur to you to go out and leave kids behind unattended.

Ooooh, that story. I heard about it a month or two ago. I haven't heard anything lately, though. What kind of strange turn is it taking?

The mother is now under pressure from the police to confess. They're basically offering her a deal if she says she killed Maddy accidentally.... The Portuguese police has a policy of silence during their investigations, which has only poured fuel on any speculations.

[thomascanty]

They just started talking about that on the news here. I had it tuned in on the TV in the background...

[eenorton]

So, a while back, a friend gave me a box full of camera stuff that she inherited from some relative... I told her I'd take shots of it that she could post on eBay. I finally got around to building a light box.
http://images27.fotki.com/v985/photos/6/64353/1715345/IMG_227602-vi.jpg

This is the nicest piece, I think. And I gotta reposition it or clone out those edges....
http://images28.fotki.com/v1000/photos/6/64353/1715345/IMG_226901-vi.jpg

[Athena]

Hey I did that one time on Mt. Charleston in Las Vegas one year when it snowed. Fun as h3ll!!!Yeah, they love it. They want every box they see. I hope they don't get hurt, but at least it's only on the grass, so probably a lot slower than snow (and the hill, although steep is small).

Hey Neil, I have a hat like that, though mine is a bit more beat up on top, and don't look quite so good underneath either. :lol:
She really is a beauty Neil. Naturally so.

Is it nap time yet?past already. After reading time I turned PBS on for the kids and caught a 1/2 hour nap on the love seat! :)

Are you guys following the Maddy McCann case over there? It's all getting very strange...yes - freaky. I was really POd from the get go about the case, but had to keep my mouth shut because no one seemed to agree (except Mike) with me that they were WRONG for leaving kids in a hotel to go to dinner... (going to stop now because I don't want to end up in a full rant.)

[Athena]

Beth - that camera is beautiful.

At a wedding I shot once, one of the bridesmaids pulled out a rollei during the posed shots after the wedding. Both the other photographer and I couldn't keep our eyes off it. It was so lovely. It was also a rather large distraction for us. lol

It really is a pretty camera. Searching around... looks like they might be able to get $150 or $200 for it. I think I'm going to post most of the shots here first and ask folks what they think the pieces are worth or, at least, get some sort of general idea.

[BearLeeAlive]

Beth, that camera shot looks great. nice camera too.

On our last vacation I left Allie in the condo alone (behind locked doors) for a few minutes while I went down to get the laundry out of the dryer (in the middle of the day). My travel-mate, Lana, was on her way back from an errand and I knew she would be back in a matter of minutes. I think it upset Lana because later that day she brought up the Maddy case. So I've always sort of wondered if I did the wrong thing. Its so easy to feel safe in beautiful, friendly locale, but I suppose something could have happened. :confused:

Lonnie, check THIS (http://www.thegreatcourses.com) out for commute listening.

past already. After reading time I turned PBS on for the kids and caught a 1/2 hour nap on the love seat! :)

Now you tell me... :(

I'm setting up some lightbox shots for a bunch of old Disneyland mementos I found in a scrapbook during my move. Maybe I'll take my nap after that's done...

Lonnie, check THIS (http://www.thegreatcourses.com) out for commute listening.

Cool. I'll look at what they have to offer. I found a few language courses on CD the other day, too. I'm thinking of picking up the Spanish one.

I guess because we travel so much and often to countries where very, very bad things happen to children, I always drag my kids along. They have to come with me for the most boring and annoying tasks. Poor things... they hate errands. ;)

Are you guys following the Maddy McCann case over there? It's all getting very strange...

Heard they were getting ready to arrest the mom and possibly the dad on the way to work this morning. You don't want to know how angry I was when I read they left the child in the room while they went out to eat. Have not heard if they ever found her body?

Beth I like your light tent set up wouldn't a slight crop take out the corners? versus cloning?

Only $200? That ain't bad at all! Maybe I'll get one...

I think that's a different camera, though. The ad says 3.1mp, but the page Athena linked to said it was 2mp. Maybe the one you found is just a newer model?

[Becky N]

And that one is 3.1 MP instead of 2.

[Becky N]

Owe me a coke, Lonnie.

[thomascanty]

Owe me a coke, Lonnie.

I'm out. How's about a diet root beer instead?

It does look like it'd be kinda fun to play with... :D

Yummmmm. Root beer float!!

Becky!! You're gonna get snowed on!!

[Mgdh]

G'MAE all.

Pardon the selected quotes - been too far behind to add much meaningful stuff. Thankfully Zane and Terri have multiquoted for me. One day when I can't get on much and I have over 20 pages (at 25p posts per page) to catch up. I've been behind ever since, right up to now.

Great pictures as I was reading!

Love the TR's, Dan. Can't wait to see what the bulls and Jim get up to once they leave the plane!

And as to all the gross food *ewwwwww* I'm glad I had dinner a long time ago.

Vader is not allowed on my desk. (That doesn't stop him from trying. Over and over and over and over)
So this is his new favorite spot to sit and watch me. My little bookshelf right next to my desk.

I just snapped this with my Olympus.

I must admit I spent a while reading the titles of the books. Can I borrow a couple? ;)

Crissa sorry for your terrible treatment.
...
Sorry for the rant but that is how I feel.

Great rant, Zane.


http://www.mundogasol.com/foro/clap.gif Well said Zane.

Crissa, don't let what that a-hole said get to you. They don't know the circumstances that forced you to make your decision, therefore they have no clue what they're talking about.

I love animals, but I HATE animal "rights" activist idiots...

Becky: I am in budget hell. Save me.

I'm behind already (hence this catch up being needed) and I'm about to join you with the budgets. *sigh* Got to have next years done by the middle of next month - along with all my normal work.


Jamie: Makayla's photo is great

Puds: ROFLOLOLOLOL @ last nights TR's

If I have forgotten anyone, apologies-I must return to the depths of my spreadsheets. *hangs head and trudges back to desk*

There's nothing wrong with Haggis. It's just urban folklore that fills it with such rubbish. There's probably more disgusting stuff in a Cornish Pasty!!

Hey - don't you go dissin' the Cornish Pasty. It's all good stuff in there. Meat, potato and veg. Well unless you buy some of the mass produced stuff that we normally don't even admit comes from Cornwall.

Or a Big Mac.


Don't even mention one of those on the same page as a Cornish Pasty!!!! >:(:lol:

If you jump in the plunge pool after your sauna and you feel a lump in your throat.... DONT COUGH

http://newquay-plus.co.uk/POTN/smilies/rotfl.gif wait... :shock:

But what about Cheese Head....careful with your answer though.

How about >this answer< (http://walkers.corpex.com/cr15p5/products.asp?snacktypeid=32)

Right - now I'm all caught up on this thread and it's early morning I need to bid you all goodnight.

[Athena]

Here ya go! http://www.adorama.com/RLRMDC.html

the reviews for it as a camera (rather than fashion accessory) are not good. bummer...

[cfpackerfan]

But of course. ;)

[thomascanty]

the reviews for it as a camera (rather than fashion accessory) are not good. bummer...

The only two real complaints I see are that it isn't good in low light and the LCD screen is a little hard to see.

The low light argument can be made for many cameras. As for the LCD, you kind of have to expect that from a 0.9" screen. It would have been nice if one of the reviewers actually mentioned what the camera's image quality was like. That's what's really most important.

[Becky N]

I'm out. How's about a diet root beer instead?

I'll pass, never did like Root Beer.

Becky!! You're gonna get snowed on!!

Just showed it to Curt...decided having a warm room and hot tub to go to in the evening would be better. Not to mention a shower and a bathroom handy in the middle of the night...just say'n.:rolleyes:

These two quite put me off:

If you are looking for a good camera that you plan on actually using... then this camera isn't for you

Rollei should get serious and try again with this one, it's a great idea

[thomascanty]

A few things I found while moving: http://************/26rr88

[Becky N]

I remember those ticket books, are they a collectors item now what with the digital tickets?

[thomascanty]

I remember those ticket books, are they a collectors item now what with the digital tickets?

Oh, yeah. Those ticket books are probably worth quite a bit, especially since there are "E" tickets still in them! Those are pretty rare, compared to the other denominations. I was very surprised to find I had so many of them left over.

[Maxed Out]

gmae again....

had to go to walmart (I absolutely hate walmart)

and get dinner and all that fun stuff:D

[Becky N]

Oh, yeah. Those ticket books are probably worth quite a bit, especially since there are "E" tickets still in them! Those are pretty rare, compared to the other denominations. I was very surprised to find I had so many of them left over.

Did you have any key club books?

[thomascanty]

Nope. No key club books here. I'm not even sure what they are, though I have a feeling I should. It sounds so familiar... :confused:

[Becky N]

My Ex and I got them because one of his friends was an employee. Basically the key tickets were good on everything and no experation.:rolleyes::lol::lol:

EDIT: Oops, not employee, what are they called?

[thomascanty]

The regular old "John Q. Public" passports didn't expire, either. I had one that my mother gave me for Christmas one year that I didn't use until almost 10 years later. They never even batted an eye.

(And they're called Cast Members...)

[Becky N]

Cast Members...that's it all I could think of was Characters and Performers and knew they weren't correct.

[Athena]

Great TR tonight. Very cute. :)

Congratulations Maxy. :D

[BearLeeAlive]

Thanks Jim! It was the first shot I took. These light boxes are pretty handy. :)
My wife would like me to set one up. She has a ton of 'collectibles' she wants to sell
I just checked the weather for Yellowstone - lows 30 F chance of snow mixed with rain...think we may rethink the camping gig. Dang and I just bought a new air bed...might need to do a return tomorrow.
Around freezing point is the best time to be sleeping in a tent, tucked inside your nice cozy sleeping bag with that cool air on your face.

This is the forecast for the next week for where we are headed, not too bad at all. We will arrive next Friday CLICK (http://www.theweathernetwork.com/weather/cabc0244/)

Regular air mattresses and air beds are not good in the cold, especially on cold ground as they have little insulation. We use a down filled air mattress designed for back country use. They are pricey, but the comfort and warmth are well worth it.
