G'MAE all. Popping in very quickly.

Opinions on these two shots?

Christopher's 2 month photo shoot...

3. Harbor in Portree, Isle of Skye

You did some great shooting in Scotland, glad you are sharing them with us.

These are the guys we were pulling for:

Nice sports shots Athena, this could be a whole new area for you to shoot.:D

.... From the Barber Motorsports Park today.

My favorite of the day.

[short5]

Evening Maxwell, show us downtown in the Mount

[Woolburr]

Ah - this makes sense - and sounds pretty hard to catch! Of the ones I've looked at so far, this is the closest I have to that.

http://lifeprintsphotography.com/POTN/Indians_9068.jpg

Nice catch! Broken bat....cool!

[short5]

Hi Becky:)

[short5]

Hi Wool

[Skrim17]

I've been digging and digging to find an old picture of my brother and a fish...much easier to find things on a hard drive than in my house!

[Becky N]

Hi Zane

Bye Zane

Going to have enough sleep deprivation this week, so going to bed on time tonight. Catch you in the morning.

[Athena]

Nice catch! Broken bat....cool!Thanks Dan. :D This was my first time trying anything like this. I am glad I decided to lug the lens with me.

The kids want to go again, so maybe I'll get another chance. I'll have to make a list of "shots to get" before I go next time. ;)

http://lifeprintsphotography.com/POTN/Indians_9068.jpgI just noticed the weird thing going on at the bottom of this image. It's not like that on my HD. I even tried to upload the file again and it's still there. What could that be??

[cfpackerfan]

*peeking around the corner* hi all. :D I'm here, but not really. I'll be lurking for a bit.

Great shots everyone, landscapes, cars, Christopher, Jazz, landscapes, natives, etc. All fantastic. :D

[Athena]

Here it is after saving for web... No weirdness. :confused:

I thought you were shooting through a fence

[Woolburr]

Hi Wool

Hey Zane

[Woolburr]

I didn't pay much attention to the digital burp...I thought it was part of the safety netting...was more focused on the broken bat.

[short5]

Oh I now see the weirdness, hmm no idea

[short5]

*peeking around the corner*

Hi Kit

[Athena]

I was shooting that guy for 2 reasons. 1) his name is Nathan and my Nathan thought that was really cool and 2) he was one of the lefties and that meant I could get a shot of more than just his butt. :lol:

[short5]

that meant I could get a shot of more than just his butt. :lol:

Strategery

[cfpackerfan]

I didn't pay much attention to the digital burp... Speaking of burp.... I heard you last night Zane. :lol:

[Guineh]

Try a Samsung SyncMaster 226BW Lonnie...way better picture than most of the pricey CRTs floating around. I am very impressed with mine.

Another vote for that model :) Quite loving mine... Great monitor and a prefect price!

[short5]

Speaking of burp.... I heard you last night Zane. :lol:

Cwap I thought I was alone:oops: exuse me lady. *tips hat a bit*

[short5]

Another vote for that model :) Quite loving mine... Great monitor and a prefect price!

Interesting I am sorely in need of a monitor

[Skrim17]

OK so its official, my nephew was the cutest one in the show. Eli almost came out of his skin when he saw Joe on stage lol. He was waving to him even tho I told him he couldn't see him.

It was Oklahoma and Joe was the youngest in the cast, he's 8.

[cfpackerfan]

*tips hat a bit*You're excused. *swoon*

[Skrim17]

On that note I'm off to bed. night kids, and Pete I think you should get a kitten like your moms for Ali so you can keep posting pics of it!!!

[Athena]

bedtime for me too. BIG and LONG day tomorrow. Nite nite guys. :)

[cfpackerfan]

[Jamie Holladay]

Another one that I think I like pretty good. Any one Hungry? You might be now.

http://www.24zero.com/BMS2007/Ruby%20Tuesday/RT-001-pst.jpg

[cfpackerfan]

Sorry, no, Jamie. I don't like Ruby Tuesday. :p

[Jamie Holladay]

then how about a vintage bike ride.

http://www.24zero.com/BMS2007/Misc/Ducati-001-pst.jpg

Mr. Barber has the most extensive Motorcycle collection in the world. Literally. People come from all over the world to visit the meusum.

[short5]

Sorry, no, Jamie. I don't like Ruby Tuesday. :p

Gag not my favorite either. I really like the Ducati shot Jamie.

[Jamie Holladay]

here is a photo of the chimper I was ranting about earlier.

http://www.24zero.com/BMS2007/Misc/chimper.jpg

[Jamie Holladay]

Gag not my favorite either. I really like the Ducati shot Jamie.
Thanks Zane. I can't eat at Ruby's either. Something in their seasoning triggers my migraines.

[cfpackerfan]

I like the bike, Jamie. ;)

[short5]

here is a photo of the chimper I was ranting about earlier.

I paid a lot of money for cameras with LCDs and I use them<insert chimping smiley>. Looks like he is a young guy with some nice camera equipment. I had a p&S when I was his age. It is too bad he didn't choose Canon but honestly I have never owned a Nikon so I couldn't say.

[short5]

Thanks Zane. I can't eat at Ruby's either. Something in their seasoning triggers my migraines.
Really?!! that is screwed up! I would find out what so you can avoid it. Tell them you have a nice shot of their car to trade for the recipe;)

[Permagrin]

oh, I chimp chimp chimp with the best of 'em. In fact, I'm THRILLED with the 3in screen on this camera...for the first time I can SEE what I just shot :lol:

[cfpackerfan]

Wade is watching 'The Hitcher'

Ive been listening to the movie, doing some work, and looking over at the movie on occasion. Kinda following along, but not really.

WHY OH WHY did I have to look over at the EXACT moment when there was a particularly gory spot?? *sigh* Gross. Gross. Gross.

[short5]

Tell them you have a nice shot of their car to trade for the recipe;)

Better yet tell them you will stop blabbing on the internet that their food is poison if they make your headache go away. Yes I know, I quoted myself.

I had lunch in Blair witch country yesterday:)

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j23/shortwave5/popcorn.gif

[cfpackerfan]

I really really like Sean Bean too, Permie. (I have to admit, I prefer the original movie with Rutger Hauer) This is not a movie I would have chosen to watch, but Wade knew I'd be working, so he took the opportunity to get something he knew I wouldn't be interested in. :lol:


I had lunch in Blair witch country yesterday:) I couldn't watch that movie. :lol: Made me SO naseous. I ended up turning my head, trying to quell the queesy motion-sickness feeling, and just listening to most of the movie.
I didn't think it was scary, but that could be why, LOL.

[cfpackerfan]

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j23/shortwave5/popcorn.gif

Can I have some?

[Maxed Out]

I just realized i went a little extreme with PP but im too lazy to fix it

http://zeeman19.mysharedphotos.com/mount%20dora/thumbs/600x500%20shrink0.jpg

I always wanted to try isolating an object but I could only do the first bench....I tried doing the 2nd bench instead after changing the perspective but couldnt do it because all the benches were in focus....but i was too much in a rush to figure it out;)

http://zeeman19.mysharedphotos.com/mount%20dora/thumbs/600x500%20shrink1.jpg

went a little extreme in PP but I like it anyway

http://zeeman19.mysharedphotos.com/mount%20dora/thumbs/600x500%20shrink2.jpg

On my way home I noticed this.....I have no clue why its there, lol

http://zeeman19.mysharedphotos.com/mount%20dora/thumbs/600x500%20shrink3.jpg

[Maxed Out]

this was the first time in a while ive been able to get out and shoot (too bad its for only 20 minutes:().....im sending my camera to canon tommorow, so i wont be able to do this for a while :(

[short5]

Can I have some?
Of course dig in
I just realized i went a little extreme with PP but im too lazy to fix it


Nice shots Max you are a good photographer.

[cfpackerfan]

Nice shots, Maxy, I'm glad you got your computer up and going again so you could share them. :)

Pretty sunrise. It most definitely has potential... a couple pointers (if you want): It is a bit green, it might look better with more orange and red instead. The horizon is dead center... can you crop it so that you move the horizon into one of the 3rds?
I really like the bench shot, have you tried it in black and white?
Beautiful flower, and I dont think the PP is too much at all. Very nice.
LOL @ the hemi stop sign.

[short5]

What Kit said^^^

[cfpackerfan]

I really like your shots Maxy...don't take my CC to mean anything other than that. ;)

You send your camera in tomorrow? Good heavens, what are you going to do till you get it back? Cook? ;)


Thanks for the popcorn, Zane. ;) Perfect amount of salt.

[cfpackerfan]

Maxy, can I play with your sunrise?

[Maxed Out]

yeah, i was in a rush....when i have time tommorow ill fix it better.

I know the rule of 3rd's and i took one with the sun in the right 3rd and one with the horizon in the center but i liked the center better (uh-ohh:))

B+W is a good idea

[Maxed Out]

Maxy, can I play with your sunrise?

sure:D

[Woolburr]

Another one that I think I like pretty good. Any one Hungry? You might be now.

http://www.24zero.com/BMS2007/Ruby%20Tuesday/RT-001-pst.jpg

This is the best one so far...very good!

[cfpackerfan]

I just cropped it a bit, and played with the colors, taking out a bit of the green. I know you can get better colors than mine when you play with the original. :D I just wanted to mess with it because I'm jealous.... I've never seen a sunrise over water. *sigh*

Poor Cat......

when i get my camera back I have to show you what downtown mt. dora looks like......It's beautiful.....girls would go crazy becuase it has a million antique shops.....I guess you have to be here:D ....But thats what photos do sometimes;)

[short5]

I've never seen a sunrise over water. *sigh*

Desert girl, that is the saddest, well, maybe not saddest, but it is a pitiful story. :p

[cfpackerfan]

I have, however, seen my share of sunrises over MOUNTAINS. :p Big, massive, gorgeous mountains. :lol:

You live in a beautiful part of the world,sigh, we don't have those here. The grass is always greener on the other side.

[short5]

With that bit of wisdom I am going to......POOF

[cfpackerfan]

Night poofy boy.

[misspix]

Can I sneak in a 3?
Nicely done Wool :)
Change of plans. It's been rainy here, and when not rainy, overcast. So I backed out of the Wildlife Safari. I'll probably rue the decision, TD will probably go and get fantastic shots without us, but I just didn't want to go, pay for admission and run the risk of blah shots. I get enough of those with good weather....
You do realize that the animals are the *most* active this time of year in the rain? :)
How fast is your broom Kit?:lol: :lol: :p

Sorry I resisted for a bit but could not stop myself. It is like a dog getting into the trash. BAD BAD Zane go lay on your spot.
I tell my boys (hubby/sons/dad etc) to go lay by their dish when they misbehave.
Well had I said it I would have been slapped with the fish.

Where is Terri?

Terri slap Zane for me and Cathy.
Sorry, Athena had the fish. *sigh*
Hi guys. Hope you're all having a good day.

Just back from my mother's, she's got a new kitten.

Meet Jazz...

What a cute kitty!
Some shots from the Farmer's Market today:

Just can't help yourself?

[misspix]

I caught up and now it is time for bed *yawn*

[cfpackerfan]

Hi Terri! Nice massive multi-quote! You pulling a 'Mark'? :lol:

[misspix]

Drat!

Hi Cat :) Yes, I am pulling a Mark *snicker*

[cfpackerfan]

I caught up and now it is time for bed *yawn*

Fine. See if I care.


*runs off into the bedroom crying like a 2-year old*

[cfpackerfan]

:lol: Snagged you on the 3fer, eh? :lol:

Sorry, I took a little nap today (that's what old people do, Maxy) worked too much, now I'm a bit ... um.... energetic.

[misspix]

awww, man.
Don't cry. Dangit.

C'mon back, I'll stay for a few...*starts wringing hands because I am lousy with crying folk*

[Jamie Holladay]

This is the best one so far...very good!
Thanks Dan.

Well I am tired. It is off to bed for me and the pooch.
Night night.

[cfpackerfan]

awww, man.
Don't cry. Dangit.

C'mon back, I'll stay for a few...*starts wringing hands because I am lousy with crying folk*

[Maxed Out]

B+W

http://zeeman19.mysharedphotos.com/mount%20dora/thumbs/600x500%20shrink1.jpg

[cfpackerfan]

LOVE the b&w. Maxy! Well done. :D

[Maxed Out]

I have no clue what im doing in photoshop when working with B+W's......but I do what I always do: WIng It:D

[cfpackerfan]

Winging it works... you learn so much by trial and error. :D

[misspix]

I have no clue what im doing in photoshop when working with B+W's......but I do what I always do: WIng It:D
Oh no you did not! ROFL:lol::lol::lol: *snort* LOLOLOL *snicker*

Nice B&W conversion Maxy ;)


And with that...I am outta he-ah...

[Maxed Out]

I just bought like 3 huge photoshop books....so about maybe......1500 pages to go......I'll be pretty good:D

[Maxed Out]

ok guys and gals, I'm gonna go to sleep (*try to sleep:(*)......I hope I have no problems with Canon and it's quick....

happy chattering!

[Maxed Out]

oh before I go....I have a question for kitty:

How do you like your tammy 17-50 f/2.8?....I've been thinking of getting that with my birthday money comming soon...I really have the need to put my 50mm f/1.8 into retirement for a while :(

[cfpackerfan]

Oh no you did not! ROFL:lol: *snort* LOLOLOL *snicker*

Nice B&W conversion Maxy ;)


And with that...I am outta he-ah...ROFL! I didn't even catch that. :lol: I must be tired.;)

oh before I go....I have a question for kitty:

How do you like your tammy 17-50 f/2.8?....I've been thinking of getting that with my birthday money comming soon...I really have the need to put my 50mm f/1.8 into retirement for a while :(

I REALLY like it.. and I did a lot of research on it before I got it too. It does a fantastic job.
My only complaint... it is LOUD. :lol: The very first time I used it was in a small quiet church. :rolleyes: :lol:

To be completely honest, I haven't used it a whole lot since I got it, because I have a Canon 16-35 2.8 right now (on loan) that I am LOVING.

[cfpackerfan]

By the way, Maxy... in your avatar... it looks like you are cupping your breasts. :lol: :lol:

[Maxed Out]

By the way, Maxy... in your avatar... it looks like you are cupping your breasts. :lol: :lol:

haha, thanks for the heads up....I was about to crop my hands out to make my face......bigger:D

[cfpackerfan]

Oh...and unless you are REALLY wanting a wider angle lens, may I suggest the Tamrom 28-75 2.8? It is my most used 'every day' lens. LOVE it.

[cfpackerfan]

Hey, why'd you bring the rooster back? I liked the crop.

[Maxed Out]

i heard the 28-75 wasnt as good at f/2.8 compared to the 17-50.......The crop looked a little weird....Although I'm pretty weird lookin:D

The (edit) rooster is temporary, maybe before I send my camera tommrow I'll find a nice avatar....

[cfpackerfan]

Thought you were going to bed? ;) :p

I'm off... I'll see you all tomorrow.


*waving* @ the night crew. ;)

[Maxed Out]

I can change it now but, I have lots of butts:D

[Maxed Out]

Oh yeah, night.......POOF!.....POOF!....WORK!...POOF!...I'm gonna keep trying every night until it works:)

I guess shorty is a genious, oh well

night

[jothefish]

Thanks Jo. :) All it takes is a polarizer filter and a shutter finger. :) I really didn't do much other than compose and shoot. A couple minor tweaks in CS2 and viola!

It's the composition part I struggle with :)

g'MAE All
Really not time to catcy up thourghly. I did hear about some drama in the drama factrory (WF), Pretty Baby photos, and Nekkid folks (I know they are natives and are supposed to be). Any way I have a little Rant for you guys

RANT ON:
I went to Barber Motorsports Park today to shoot the Porsche race. I had a great time. Shooting a race is really work though. I am sun burned from all get out. I have never ever in my life seen as many freaking N!k*ns in my life. I could have visited all the circuit city's, Best buys, Wolf Camera in Birmingham and there would not have been that many in stock. What is the world is this world comming to. Is someone feeding people propaganda? Poor people they have got to be confused or on drugs. I saw 2 out of 7 pros with N. OMG I almost got sick to my stomach. I almost went home. I was walking proudly with my new 30D/70-200f/4.0L/1.4XTCII and they just looked at me like I was white trash. (or was that envy?) Short lenses too. Click Click Click. I did not get it. No one was panning so what the he(( were they shooting the bushes in the background. Oh and this one "Pro" that could not have been more than 19, chimped more than I did. And I chimpped a lot because I was not used to the 30d. Disgusting.
Rant off.

Carry on with your regularly scheduled Chatting.

I hope you guys weren't offended by the breasts...?? Was it wrong to post them here (it hardly seems like a glamor and nude shot)

Re: the nikons - I have also seen alot of Nikons around and alot of my friends have bought Nikons in the last t wo years...


I guess the secret is out.
Gypsy...now that you mention it, I guess I could qualify. I've always just said I'm nomadic. :D





Nomadic is qualifies...



Perhaps I need to keep notes - or better still, does anyone have the Cliff's notes I can borrow? :lol:

I'll have a set as well...

Ok - here's rubber boy doing his rubber thing. *shudder*

http://lifeprintsphotography.com/POTN/Indians_9065.jpg

Looks like shoulder problems in the making.



I just cropped it a bit, and played with the colors, taking out a bit of the green. I know you can get better colors than mine when you play with the original. :D I just wanted to mess with it because I'm jealous.... I've never seen a sunrise over water. *sigh*

come visit me... I won't get up inthe morning with you but I will point you in the right direction the night before :)

[fi20100]

Wow! Puddle, those are some great shots! :) Love the colors!

[puddlepirate44]

.... I've never seen a sunrise over water. *sigh*

*GASP* I love watching sunrises and sunsets when there's nothing around you but ocean. Amazing. You're missing it.

I have, however, seen my share of sunrises over MOUNTAINS. :p Big, massive, gorgeous mountains. :lol:

OK, you win there. We have some big mountains, but nothing that qualifies for Big or Massive.

You do realize that the animals are the *most* active this time of year in the rain? :)

Great, now you tell me.

This needs to be put into your 'POTN Book Deux' folder.

Don't have one. Probably won't either.

How do you like your tammy 17-50 f/2.8?....I've been thinking of getting that with my birthday money comming soon...I really have the need to put my 50mm f/1.8 into retirement for a while :(

I know you didn't ask me, but I've become a serious Tamron fan over the last few months. I've got both the 17-50 and the 28-75. Most bang for the buck lens out there.

Oh...and unless you are REALLY wanting a wider angle lens, may I suggest the Tamrom 28-75 2.8? It is my most used 'every day' lens. LOVE it.

Yeah, that.

Wow! Puddle, those are some great shots! :) Love the colors!

Thanks, Stefan. :D

[Becky N]

It was Oklahoma and Joe was the youngest in the cast, he's 8.

Realizing I'm partial I have to say I love seeing kids take an interest in theatre. The interacting between the generations is one of the things I really enjoy.

oh, I chimp chimp chimp with the best of 'em. In fact, I'm THRILLED with the 3in screen on this camera...for the first time I can SEE what I just shot :lol:

Me three! Though I usually have the view that shows the histogram on and only look at the picture for blinkies. Once in awhile I'll turn to full picture just to see if I got what I hope I got sometimes zooming in to see if I missed focus or not.

I know you didn't ask me, but I've become a serious Tamron fan over the last few months. I've got both the 17-50 and the 28-75. Most bang for the buck lens out there.

^^^^Yeah that.

Nice picture Maxey, I like the park benches.

[Becky N]

Sorry....G'MAE.

[Athena]

Sorry, Athena had the fish. *sigh*
We'll share it from now on. :)
Zane has never had a fish slap before tho, has he?

MAE everyone. We're outta here early today. Big tiring day for the kiddos. :)

[thomascanty]

Zane has never had a fish slap before tho, has he?

I haven't either, though I've probably deserved it a couple times...

[Athena]

I can only think of once when you might have deserved a fish tap. But I think it would have had just made matters worse at the time. ;) :)

How goes it Lonnie? It's your "evening" now, right?

[Athena]

Cat - what kind of gym do you go to? There are SO many different ones here it's mind boggling!

[Becky N]

3 week NOT SMOOSHED ALERT!!!

Went over our next 3 week's schedules last night and realized it will be cutting into serious computer time.

This week - 2nd run of Jeykl and Hyde

Next week - Taking pictures every night for church

3rd week - Boone County Fair

Don't worry if I'm MIA for different peiods of time.:D

[Athena]

Thanks for the warning Becky. :)

[thomascanty]

How goes it Lonnie? It's your "evening" now, right?

It's about there. Somewhere between late afternoon and early evening.

Today hasn't been too bad. A lot better than yesterday, anyway. Yesterday was one of those days at work that I've learned to dread. Nothing but problems...

[thomascanty]

Speaking of smooshed alerts. Have we still not heard anything from Beth?

[short5]

Zane has never had a fish slap before tho, has he?

What did I do??:rolleyes:

[short5]

Speaking of smooshed alerts. Have we still not heard anything from Beth?

We got word through crissa that she is okay just busy.

[thomascanty]

We got word through crissa that she is okay just busy.

Oh, good. I was hoping I had just missed the announcement somewhere.

[cylentka]

GMAE all. How did it get to be Monday already?? *yawn*


Loved all the photos from last night. Scotland, cars, Christopher, Maxy sunrises. All were very good! Its so fun to log on and see what you've all been shooting.

I feel like I need about 5 cups of coffee this morning. *yawn*

Heavens no. I was just doing a fly by catch up. ( a way of proving I do try to keep up. ) You just don't know me very well that's all. Your photo's were fine. No worries. I hate that you even thought such a thing.

They were still up at 1am! So I made them go to bed. :rolleyes: Even then they kept jumping out of bed with excuses to stay up! At about 10 the next morning we headed to the zoo, but Hannah said she wanted to go home, so we took her home then went to the zoo without her.

edit: i don't know why they call it a SLEEP over!

I hope you guys weren't offended by the breasts...?? Was it wrong to post them here (it hardly seems like a glamor and nude shot) Not at all! I absolutely loved the one with the mama holding her nursing child. They are such a beautiful people.

come visit me... I won't get up in the morning with you but I will point you in the right direction the night before :) You give me a jingle when you get home to boring ol Bahamas, and I'll see if I can spare a week, scratch that, a MONTH to come visit. ;)

Cat - what kind of gym do you go to? There are SO many different ones here it's mind boggling!I go to Rezults (http://www.rezultsfitness.net/RezultsHome.html). I really like it because it's not geared toward the sexy hardbodies, like Gold's Gym is here. :rolleyes:

3 week NOT SMOOSHED ALERT!!!

Thanks for the warning. ;) I'm glad we got word from Beth, but I am seriously getting worried about Jack.

[Pete]

GMAE folks (now you've woken up!)

[cfpackerfan]

Hiya Pete. :D I love that photo of your mom and Jazz.

[theague]

GMAE all ye chatters!!

Hope all are well. I spent a lot of time yesterday processing more Scotland photos. Most of which I think I shared with you all a few pages back. :) They're all up on my gallery, i'm up to 23 scotland photos now. :) I'd like to end up with close to 50 by the time I'm done but I don't know if I've got that much variety in the set.

Seems we've been sharing a lot more photos on this thread than the last one. Keep it up! :)

[Pete]

Hiya Pete. :D I love that photo of your mom and Jazz.

Thanks Cat. It makes her look a bit like Mother Christmas, doesn't it? :D

Please help me find some musical solidarity. Many years ago I heard a track on late night radio by a woman named Iris DeMent, I was impressed and searched out her other stuff which was really excellent, then I came across a duet with John Prine.... wow the guy was amazing. Several years and many albums later the guy is still a genius yet I have trouble finding anyone on this side of the pond who has even heard of him let alone appreciates his work.

C'mon left pondians (or right if there are any) make me feel inclusive and hugged.. John Prine musical genius.

Never heard of those two.. I'm young though. :)

[Athena]

What did I do??:rolleyes:

I dunno. I can't remember a time that you've deserved a fish slap... ??

[cfpackerfan]

Sorry neil. :oops: Can't say as I've ever heard of him before. BUT... I'm doing a search now. I can't live the rest of my life without hearing a musical genius now, can I? ;)

Neil, are you joking? :lol: :lol: "In spite of ourselves" makes me writhe in pain

[cfpackerfan]

You pair him up with Bonnie Raitt and he ain't that bad. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTMitOROHTs&mode=related&search=) ;)

[cfpackerfan]

Neil, are you joking? :lol: :lol: "In spite of ourselves" makes me writhe in painROFL! That's funny, when I did a search, that was the first one that came up. I started listening, thought to myself, OMG that is awful.... Neil either has bad taste, or he's joking. :lol: :lol:

Then I had to turn it off after a few seconds cause it wasn't kid friendly. :lol: :lol:

[theague]

lol I feel bad for Neil if he's being serious, the way everyone is carrying on. lol

[cylentka]

lol I feel bad for Neil if he's being serious, the way everyone is carrying on. lol

nah, he's used to us and our inabilty to take anything serious. If he wants serious chatters, he knows how to find RRTP? :p

[neil_r]

I am heading over to the wedding forum, far friendlier bunch over there :-)

[cfpackerfan]

I am heading over to the wedding forum, far friendlier bunch over there :-):lol: You just go see if any of those guys use John Prine in their slideshow videos. :lol:

[neil_r]

and I am taking my Leonard Cohen collection with me :evil:

[Jamie Holladay]

My ears are bleeding call 911.

[theague]

I'm going to go put John Prine into Pandora and see what kind of music it plays. :)

[jothefish]

Ohhh... I love Leonard Cohen.... can I come with you?

Cat - school begins in Septmeber, come on down any time you feel like it... like I said - I'll point you Eastwards :lol:

[Jamie Holladay]

and I am taking my Leonard Cohen collection with me :evil:
I hope you have a bullet proof vest and a helmet, and some hip wadders.

[Pete]

I think Niel's trying to get himself banned. Speaking his mind failed, so now he's trying to get banned for hearing what his mind is telling him is good taste...

[Jamie Holladay]

I'm going to go put John Prine into Pandora and see what kind of music it plays. :)
That made me laugh.

[cfpackerfan]

My ears are bleeding call 911.:lol:

I like Bonnie Raitt!

Neil... Leonard Cohen is acceptable. ;) You may leave those albums here. :D
NEVERMIND!! ACK! His voice is ok... but his choice of music is appalling. :p

[theague]

I just heard the song, Diamonds in the Rough... it wasn't THAT bad like everyone is going on about... it's country/Folk music. not my preference but my ears certainly aren't bleeding.. :rolleyes:

[neil_r]

I have emigrated .......

[thomascanty]

There's water falling from the sky over here. What did you guys call that? I forget...

C'mon left pondians (or right if there are any) make me feel inclusive and hugged.. John Prine musical genius.

Sorry. Never heard of either of them. I'm playing John Prine and Iris DeMent's video of "In Spite of Ourselves" on YouTube right now. Musically, I don't really care for it, but the lyrics are kind of funny...

[theague]

You need to grow the beard out like the guy to the right of you.

[thomascanty]

I have emigrated .......

Nice dress. ;)

[cylentka]

I have emigrated .......


LOL you need a better tan.

[jothefish]

Which one is you?

[Jamie Holladay]

Ok Neil, cutural question here. Why do you and two of the other men have on, for the lack of the correct term, hats and the other men do not?

[thomascanty]

Which one is you?

He's the one wearing the white dress...

[cylentka]

You need to grow the beard out like the guy to the right of you.

That guy reminds me of the amish around here. They grow beards, but no mustaches.

[cfpackerfan]

Which one is you?ROFL!

[jothefish]

I prefer you on the motorbike...

[cfpackerfan]

Isn't Leonard Cohen the one who sings "Hallelujah" ?? I really like that song.
Of course, I think I've only ever heard cover versions.

[thomascanty]

Yes, that's him. Brian Ibbot, who does the podcast called Coverville (http://www.coverville.com/) has played tons of covers of that song. In fact, he once devoted an entire episode to nothing but covers of it. I found that episode impossible to listen to. I don't like that song at all...

[jothefish]

Leonard Cohen has some beautiful songs... especially if you are alone at night and just want to chill with a bottle of wine. He also writes beautiful poems...
