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

[wu_wei0]

OOoo, yup, there's another 8-track tape I'll have to find on eBay.

My lovely children stole my quad player, my reverb, and all my tapes-- as well as most of my CDs. It sucks when your kids like the same music. Although. I do get a lot of good songs from them on occasion and links to fun new bands.

[liza]

Cowsill's were before the Partridge family - they were happening about the time of the Carpenter's (if I recall right!)

As Woolburr said, the Partridge Family was a TV show loosely based on the real life Cowsills. David Cassidy became a teen heart throb as a result of that show. The Carpenters were around the same time. I remember them playing the song, "Close to You" at the junior high sock hops. It was a great slow dance song.

I like a lot of my kids' music, like AFI, Hinder, and Evanescence. I draw the line at Cradle of Filth, though. :lol:

[Digital_Duck]

It has been called that too....we used to spend New Year's at our cabin in NY....just an outhouse...and you didn't linger.
OMG - amateur's! :lol: :lol: :lol:

When I was coming up - my mothers family had a 2 hole but we used a bucket (in a bedroom) in the winter ... then dumped it every so often as needed

[Claire]

Hey, did Yoda ever ask the girl out?

I saw Marie Antoinette tonight. Sofia Coppola's movies are too slow at times.

I loved the Carpenters...cried buckets when she died.

And Wu, when my daughter was here this weekend, she plugged into my itunes and downloaded my music. Doesn't seem to matter the devices, the results are the same...but sadly she only downloads country music so I don't really "get any new stuff" from her.

sweet song but very disturbing to a little activist like me-- "why do birds fall down fromt he sky. . . " that was just so environmentally disturbing!! lol

[liza]

Where are the corncobs and the Sears catalog? Remember the purpose of those in the outhouse? :D

Yup. That's some frozen data.

[Woolburr]

It is "why do stars fall down from the sky....." ROFL....the birds didn't fall until struck by stars.;)

I think Yoda opted to not go there.

[Permagrin]

Yup. That's some frozen data.

After seeing that shot, I'm begining to think frozen data might be more desirable that the summer equivalent...

this is just too funny...Wu must have been smoking SAGE back then too...:lol: :lol:

Hey, Wool, have you ever wondered if sportscaster Joe Buck's forehead has been Post processed to look like it's been stretched upward an extra two feet?

I have lovely boys with tastes as weird as their mother's. We enjoy a wide variety from punk to blues to metal to to zydeco to bluegrass, classical and on and on. My DIL's aren't quite so diverse so they get a little bugged when we are playing the latest Dragonforce or such. man those guys can manipulate the strings!! have seldom seen such fast fingers.

Yes, dear. I lol'ed but forgot my winkie! But if you think about it- stars falling is even more environmentally unsound!

I try hard to ignore Joe Buck...but his head could use some PP.

That is the cabin....the outhouse is to the left in the photo....haven't gotten that far yet...

Comment away oh wise one...never pass up a golden opportunity. ;)

[puddlepirate44]

I went ahead and printed the above post. I plan on having it placed in a prominent place in my office at work. Thank you. :) Of course, this would required my explaining why my name is "PP"....

[Woolburr]

well, it would explain why Peter's puggies are looking so fat lately...

But...revamping might be useful...nothing like warm data...

The whole outhouse had just been redone...new siding on the exterior...the interior had been redone with new plywood over insulation...(to help the lantern warm things faster) The actual useful part is all fiberglass...I have no idea what that brown rug was there for...but the puggies ate the TP and the seat....rofl:D

[wu_wei0]

it should read more like "comment away oh wise a$$ed one"

This one shall pass for now. Trust me.

[Permagrin]

many ways to warm data.

Now this is one I'll just leave alone before I'm censored.

Here is the outhouse Permie.
I didn't see any puggies Wool? Did they stage a raid similar to DD's ducks? Did you find your privacy endangered by small furry animals. Was the firewall breached? The virus scan corrupted?

Is anyone entering Peter's chubby pet contest? I should post a picture of my fat kitten, Teddy.
Well, I just read it and he says no catgut jokes...I was thinking of posting a fat cat myself...

Comment away oh wise one...never pass up a golden opportunity. ;)
...then again, some "comments" are best left to the imagination :lol: :lol: :lol:

Why, thank you, Kind sir!:D I'm glad I am making strides in the right direction. ;) Perhaps a wise a$$ is better than no wisdom at all.

[puddlepirate44]

Nah, don't bother. No one would believe it, even if it were signed by you, Wool, key members of Congress, UN, and the Pope.

We should all post fat cat pics at the same time. :lol:

I might like my 30D someday and my Tammy, too. Think I'll ever find out? What's your secret?

Can't let legit photo talk go unanswered.

Dogone it! my sweats are still cold and clammy! I think my free drier is on its last tumbles. Oh well, I'm out of bubbles anyway. :(

Well, I transferred from the XT to the 30, so to me, the 30 was as cool as sliced bread. Lisa has the 5D, and she's in love. I assume if I ever had something in a 1 series body, I would look upon the 30 as I do the XT now. That being said, I like the size of the 30, its speed is good enough for me, and I find it ergonomic for what I'm doing in the area of photography, which is eclectic at best. It's not for everyone, but I like it.

Well if you can't see some folks, like me and Pete, you gonna miss lots of the fun. A metaphor for love maybe too ;-)

[Woolburr]

No.....not to mention the fact there are usually more than 3....I'll just go back to juggling squirrels...sans bags...I wonder if that will work better? ???

So much for button pushing.:o :shock: :o

[Permagrin]

No.....not to mention the fact there are usually more than 3....I'll just go back to juggling squirrels...sans bags...I wonder if that will work better? ???

we could give you a few tips. ;)

[Lightstream]

mmmmmm......thread is alive.

Yes, it's a pity my mission did not go well in the end.. specifically, did not go at all. However there is always next time. Give me some time....not always easy when you haven't succeeded well at this kind of thing, have to warm up first (after a break of godknowshowmanyyears) and need to shake the dust of the past..

I'm also pretty sure if it's meant to happen it will happen. Now is just not a good time.

Wu.. you ok? Head injuries are no joke. Sounds like you have been through far more than you should have with that fall..

I can respect your desire to wait, but the longer you wait, the tougher it gets.

Ohh ok.. must remind self that these folks are at least 2X own age..

And I don't intend to wait forever, just a few weeks because Real Soon Now I will be on my way home.. THAT is the priority, and 724ISL.. WHAHAHAHHAHAHHAA.. I'm gonna buy it from the bloke anyway.... (now it's a question: which bloke.. no I don't want to hear "do you love me?")

The other thing is.. I'm also concerned about starting something that I may not be able to finish.. I'm not gonna be here forever, my hitch ends and then I am headed home - and long distance simply doesn't work the way you want it to work especially when you don't anticipate coming back...

[liza]

I AM NOT 2x your age. I am roughly 13 yrs older than you give or take a year or two...

and buy the lens from the Sheila...

[wu_wei0]

:lol: now I have to go cook...so you guys have fun tonight...
Though you already cooked!

[Lightstream]

Good news too.....the 300/4 ISL is headed to a new home at US$860.. was hoping $900, but it will do.

[Permagrin]

Though you already cooked!

:lol: I like to take my time when I'm cookin'





congrats LS...that's not a terrible price. I understand wanting $900 though, because that's very fair!

That might explain why you understand me better.. (you have the wisdom and insight and yet are not too far removed... no offence to those a bit more senior.. but the smaller the difference the better the probability.. it's just a probability)

And since when did PG start speaking Aussie? ;)

Actually, buy the 300/4L off me at $950 and I might be able to 'tip' her generously....

[wu_wei0]

ROTFLMBO!!!!!

That's reasonable. Just don't let rationalization get in the way.
I need to do laundry. And mate my sox. :)
I've laundered and hung and folded all I can. Still waiting for my soxto warm up. have to keep running downstairs and pushing my own button. drier button, of course.:)

But do you see pics posted of such?

and there's a book?? I want a copy!

[wu_wei0]

Thanks Wu...we have a pretty sharp bunch that hangs here.

You mean Permie's retort?

Now that YOU mention bricks, it is inevitable. I don't know nuthin' about no bricks.

[Lightstream]

You know, as soon as you think you have it all figured out, it'll change. You have to be on your toes! sox or no. :)

Yoda me lad....I don't know how to break this to you...but while men will never figure women out...experience does give you some insight into the workings of the opposite sex. Not to mention that yesterday...you not only had input from fellow males..but also from a variety of females...including two from your age group...You might have noticed that each and every one of us told you the exact same thing.....that might just say something!

I know, I know.... :oops:

Look, the other thing is, I'm flying off in a few days and I don't really have time to chase this up. Good thing OTOH is that I will be back after Christmas and I can always follow it up later when time is on my side.

I appreciate the advice.. it's been tremendously valuable for someone who is starting from possibly even less than zero. If there's a next time I will really try not to drop the ball like this one.

Luuuucy, I've got some 'splaining to do....

Sox appeal is definitely in the eye of the beholder....I too see no appeal to sock clad males displaying their wares!

Hey, I left out the handstand....;) (and I think it's rather cute)

[Lightstream]

Back to work again...there is something about familiarity that is a gigantic asset.

[liza]

Am slowly deciphering the lingo.... :D

It is wierd. Guys in nothing but socks look like complete idiots. Chicks in socks look hawt. Although I prefer EVEN closer to my age for that :p

Watch it. I happen to look damn fine in my socks. And I bet Wu does, too. :p

You'll find that matters of the heart are universal, regardless of age.

It's not "if," but rather "when." :)

hey, when friends get together we try not to discuss "gigantic assets" :lol:

No, we just think about them. And smile. :lol:

[Woolburr]

The next person that calls me an asset is going to get kicked in the shins!

I have to agree. . . But there is something about curly toed shoes.

ROFLMBO! Yep- smilin'!

Not so sure about socks but I cut a fine figure in stockings.:lol::lol:

I'll refrain. I have enough bruises already.

OK, here it is. The one time I'll actually give some serious advice, to the detriment of my reputation. Go to the girl. Be honest. Be real. Sure, you'll be nervous; all men have been there... some more than once or twice. Take her to some neutral ground... coffee house is great, but even a silly hot dog stand for lunch and a trip out to the park can work. Talk about her. Notice her. It's not about you, it's about her. Don't drag it out, know when to say goodbye for the day, but ask if it's OK to swap contact info. Again, a strong dose of reality, and human humor will go far.

If that doesn't work, well, geez, go for the club routine.... :)

Permie, your bricks are a little--- lacking. but good try. :)

Wool, I told you that you were asking for it!

[Permagrin]

Permie, your bricks are a little--- lacking. but good try. :)

Well, you see, I had to cut and paste real bricks on to a tiny jpeg...so they got a bit distorted...but really, delivery is all about presentation anyway ;)

You and me both, baby. ;)

You're right. It's the delivery that counts.

Those are bricks? Good lord...Permie has the PS skills of a brick. :lol:

[Permagrin]

um...well, then I won't tell you that they're your bricks....

[wu_wei0]

I can't believe I have been awake this long!

Big difference between Genie shoes and a ratty old pair of sox.

Now when you start talking bout them sexy sox...that go all the way up to.......(well....you know)...that is a horse of a different color.:D

[Woolburr]

um...well, then I won't tell you that they're your bricks....

I can honestly tell you...that those are not my bricks...I think Wu might even vouch for that one....hehehe;)

The difference lies in the kind of wishes you can make!

That's the kind I'm talking about. Pantyhose are a no-no- always stockings and a nice set of "frames"

[wu_wei0]

No Permie, I don't recognize those bricks as being Wool's.:lol::lol:

[Permagrin]

No Permie, I don't recognize those bricks as being Wool's.:lol::lol:

ice house....think ice house...

[puddlepirate44]

What I want to know is why my wife is holding Wool's bricks. This is getting a little awkward.... :shock:

Oh, let her live her dreams. :lol: Or you could give her a couple of your own bricks. that'll solve the problem
