Wasn't BadNick talking about these a few pages (weeks) ago? I honestly thought so.
So, in memoriam (since I can't find the orginating context of the previous-spoken nature) here is a tributary:


University College Falmouth digital animation student Tim Wheatley turns a bicycle wheel into a makeshift zoetrope aptly dubbed “the cyclotrope”:

author's comments:
The cyclotrope is a cycle of 18 images that is spun at a certain speed so that the frame rate of the camera filming it gives the illusion of animation.

I like the word "niche",
not just 'cuz we survive there,
but 'cuz we thrive here.

24/60=.4

&, because it's been almost,
a day since any other posted,
I feel entitled:

//Profiting from addiction,
not so very akin to selling it,
needing you to feel its lure.

You can't layer shit like that:
It might stick together & spoil some
somewhat natural landscapes.//

I love you dad. My dad passed away quite a few years ago, but this reminded me of things he explained to me when I was about 8 years old. I was watching a cowboy movie on our "most modern for the time" black and white TV and asked how come the wheels on the stage coach looked like they were going backwards when I knew the coach was moving forward. He explained about the camera frame rate used to film the sequence and told me about his work with early film-making that he was involved with as a young scientifically inclined artist in Hungary.

Any ideas
about the way that appears
sometimes in real life?

I'm sure that it does,
alone because I've seen it.
Teachers told me no.

I'm guessing wavelengths
of the artificial lights
along some highways.

My thoughts about how that can happen in real life involve the rate of images entering your eyes being synchronized with changes in the image position which then appears to create motion. Say if the light is pulsed, either totally on/off dark to light, or even more subtley like flickering through trees or fence posts, I think I've also seen that make things look like they are moving.

I wonder if this example shows such an effect:

I mean like spoked wheels,
while riding highways at night,
under artificials.

(This was before I hallucinated,
so it couldn't have been due to chemicals,
unless I'm just imbalanced that way.)

How about a random look at the longest film (by running time):

The longest film screened so far is the Danish experimental film Modern Times Forever (Stora Enso Building, Helsinki). It has a runtime of 240 hours and a one-off screening began on 23 March 2011 at the IHME Contemporary Art Festival in Helsinki.

With ten solid days
of eyes glued to the screening
they'd become sticky...

(24/6)-1=3

...probably my brain, too.

My son, Michael, is 16 years old today! Happy Birthday, Michael. He said it seems he was waiting the longest time for this one. I remember as if it was yesterday when he came out and got wrapped up in the O.R., and the nice, thoughtful nurse said she would take pics with my camera so I could hold him. Now he's bigger than I am but I gave him a big hug anyway.

Later our family is going out to a birthday dinner with a couple of his friends at a cool restaurant, Distrito Distrito Restaurant Tour which claims a "new Mexican" theme...don't know about new, Mexico has been around for the longest time.

"Modern Mexican", perhaps? (Mexican Metropolitan, eh?)

Let's see three things I can dig up pertaining to that which was enclosed...


[Give the boy a Pinata]

He'll bang it open
& then snatch up the candy
like any good guy.

2+4=6x1=6

The good guy and his friends and parents had a great time. No piñata but we did see a wall full of Mexican wrestling masks.

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...tritomasks.jpg

I have a real fascination towards the acrobatics and athleticism required to be a luchador.
Plus, you need to always be mysterious.

(I selected this almost completely at random - was it interesting?)

Yes, interesting...as usual with many of your posts.

The restaurant had a drink called the Mysterio, in honor of Rey Mysterio, Jr., famous luchador wrestler known for the Lucha Libre high flying style that has been his trademark.

There was another famous luchador I recall... I think his name was Psicosis.

It's really a feat of athleticism that almost every one of the really popular Mexican wrestlers needs to master moves like the Frankensteiner, Hurican-rana, any different number of Moonsaults, absolutely ridiculous-looking variations of the DDT, and much more. In North American professional wrestiling, if you have nothing more than a German Chop, a Big Boot, and maybe a Power Bomb, you can still become a world champion.

Precisely placed holes
in the cracker dough of life
help make it crispy.

A big one aside
with a little one elsewhere
misshapes the product.

Random excerpt from my 'Found on Net' virtual post-it note: Extraordinary funny and clever illustrations This Blog Rules | Why go elsewhere?

Longest Dive By a Pig
From: GuinnessWorldRecords

Miss Piggy, owned by Tom Vandeleur (Australia) jumped a distance of 3.31 m (10 ft 10 in) into a pool measuring 86.5 cm (34 in) deep at the Royal Darwin Show, Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia, filmed for Guinness World Records (Seven Network) Australia on 22 July 2005.

I wonder how long
That Miss Piggy will live once
she's too big to dive?

(Love the illustrations, Jetee. Does anybody know what happened to ZookSport2, or what the longest distance we've fallen behind the monster has been? This thread is much too wonderful to be on a starvation diet.)

2+4=6=2+4

I didn't click the link I shared until just now. It's been over a year since I last saw it. That's how far (or the very beginning..?) of where my procrastination has progressed.


Down to three old men. (I think this was the premise to the film, Weekend at Bernie's.)

I hope Zookman is busy having a good time ...vs dealing with dust storms, draughts, floods, wild fires, and various pest infestations.

You mention some pests:
The wildfires in West Texas
have less room to spread.

In spite of less room to spread, the fires in West Texas have killed a few people and destroyed a lot of property and livestock.

On a lighter note:

The longest usable yo-yo was 10.72 m (35 ft 2 in) and was constructed and successfully demonstrated by Otis Miller (USA) at Jones Park, Appleton, Wisconsin, USA, on 22 August 2010.

I had a composite thought regarding TLTE:

Hard-bargained sermons,

even with haiku.

I also have another source of intrigue for you, courtesy of wrongsideoftheart...

I stumbled upon a few foreign film posters that were pertaining to this one masked marauder in all these strange situations; little did I know, the character that I kept running into was none other than D-movie star, Santo! (or: Rene Cardona Jr. lucha-sploitation films!)

Below: I'm guessing this is his buddy, the "Blue Demon" (aka, Neutron).

I really want to perform a back-breaker on any and all forms of WA. Makes me so angry, I can barely contain my cool! (... beneath this mask)

The first 5 threads seem to all have the same goal :)

Which one will you choose?

But what can we do to entice you into helping us, and not "them" :)

I like that dark green one just to the right of bottom center.

My luchador theme would be the Night Avenger. On the sly I would reach up into my mask where I secretly store a phosphorescent powder which I rub on my opponent. Then my "compatriots" arrange to suddenly have all the lights in the arena turned off so no one can see me but my opponent is glowing in the dark like a lit up target. After beating on him and doing some glowing flying jumps, I win the match! The underside of my cape is also fluorescent so as I'm flying I leave streaks of light, the Night Avenger has struck again!

forty-five seconds
before they have to stop me
won't serve them bettter

Novel idea: What would be your "luchador" persona, and backstory? Finishing move?


Hey, you beat me to the "punch". :thumbsup:
-- (to note: is still thinking of a "killer" combo of costume, calling card, and the right cabeza to strike fear into my opponents! But would be the name that they wouldn't dare utter?)

possible suggestion: Chupacabra - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"...The name comes from the animal's reported habit of attacking and drinking the blood of livestock, especially goats..."

Note the characteristics of the head and how it is suggestive of Lucha Libre mask themes. And the theme of blood seems to be another useful but gruesome theatrical prop.

So, I must apologize,
even after doing some research,
Mexican wrestling's silly.

I remember when Tim was a just a nice little boy growing up in suburban Phila ...my ex was one of his teachers. I'm glad life seems to be working out in his favor.

When I grow up and ready to retire, I think I'd like a stint as a librarian or library helper.

A few of those here,
not just seemingly surly,
seem somehow...not glad.

I'd enjoy the job, too, I think.

Melk Benedictine Abbey Library in Austria is generally considered the oldest library in Europe. The abbey was established in 1089. I was born not far away in 1949, only 860 years later!

Other than visiting and studying the beauty of such a place, I prefer warmer, homier libraries. The murals on the ceilings of Melk remind me of the work my dad did his whole life.

Odd, no, when shadows remain silent?

I just 'saw' NoSoup AND Embic online at the same time, yet I have little inkling if they uttered a phrase.

+ bonus:

BadNick: what led you to discovering / featuring your post above - how did it come about? Did you know anything at all about the MBAL, say, a week ago? This is all terribly interesting to me, yet still... somehow, can be classified as nonsense. Odd.

Jet, not trying to be obvious, but the process simply went like this. I consider it a serendipitous collaboration of TLTE participants:

Ocm? posted about his local East Lake Library; I mentioned that I've always thought about working in a library; Ocm? replied that the people working in his place didn't seem happy but he thinks he'd also like that kind of work; this reminded me of a link I saved about the greatest libraries in the world, including the the Royal Library of Alexandria which was the largest and most significant great library of the ancient world, built around 3rd century BC; but when I looked for my link, I remembered that I have that one on my work computer not at home; so I started hunting around for other "great library" information and stumbled upon the fact that the oldest one in Europe was not far from where I was born. The rest is history, so to speak.

I didn't previously add the story of when I was in elementary school and my most beloved girl friend Christine lived across the street from our local library, so needless to say, I would go there as often as possible. This was the same library where a year or so later, another little beauty named Maria, the only Italian girl in our class, raced and beat me around the library. It wasn't even close, she was fast!

That was awesome (and I only use that word around once a month, so you know it still has that OOMPH!)

- - -

Additionally, you have just reminded me that I, too, just recently saved a link about the legacy of our local libraries. Hold it a few...
(I wish I could recount my rountine in how, eactly, I came around to this point again, but you probably already know, and besides... I filter through thousands of links daily, as well as maybe a dozen thoughts, so re-finding something is like jumping back into a virtual sea.)

1) what is the root cause of TLTE not being tlte?
Not enough people are interested in, and involved enough, in this thread to allow it to achieve its destiny at this time.

2) how can we remedy this problem?

post-script:
It is because the ghost outline once known as 'Zooks' was the first to refer to it as the shortened-derivative, TLTE, which then evolved shortly thereafter to TLTE!

+ bonus: CSfilm was the first person to apply sentience to the thread, when he thought to apply personality, as well as a name(s) to the endeavor.

You can read about it below (the entirety of page 13)

^That, I do not get,
& I ain't quite a purist.
Check more recent clues.

Putting those all in,
overstuffing not numbers,
like Esoteric.

CSflim did all of that in about 20 minutes, with all the above being multiple sequential posts that now adays would be merged if done within such short duration...unless you know the "secret", which I decided I don't want to use here as we strive toward our goal, even if I knew how, which I don't. I wouldn't mind knowing how but I would still not use it to generally increase the posts in such a blatantly wanton ;) manner.

I've mentioned the "secret" [to longevity] at the very, least, half a dozen time; more recently, maybe twice in the past couple months. I think it is just you averting your eyes to shield your integrity that you still remain oblivious.
I'm still getting the backburn that OCM? is castigating me for posting in twos-threes in too-creatively-snippy way that I've now come to not understand them, but I can't help that. I have too much to say at times, and I've been "barred" from automerged double-postings, and I really dislike the red underlined edit markers, so... the "+ bonus" hccup post happens from time to time.


Me? I've just reminded myself that I'm good at finding things out (but not very adept at finding where I am going with this).

Somewhere I have a herringbone sport jacket with leather patches on the elbows.

I did try to decipher your clues about how to get around the post merging monster, but I gave up before figuring it out. You do make it sound like it's something simple, but I haven't figured it out yet.

Did you see Plan9,
claiming "totally creeped out"?
I mourn when I hurt.

Three videos in a row, we have combined for (though mine, #1, was hyperlinked).

Here's a substitute (mainly because the one I posted about librarians was awful).

I'm formulating a theory that Zooksport might be the Easter Bunny. Hi Zooks!

I'm not sure how long my theory will hold up because I used to think Jetee was the Easter Bunny. Some of these theories are too complex to prove or disprove.


When I saw the post a few minutes ago about banning I was wondering who got the boot, but then it was clarified deeper in the thread.

Theories tend to hold
only when they have support
'ere dissipation.

On a brighter note
come cryptic apologies
well-worded thank yous.

2+4-6=7x0

Clarification
lies no deeper, I'm thinking,
than what we see through.

...I need to tell you something you probably already know...

Usually when I think I know something it turns out I know less than I thought.

Most times, if I think,
only lead to further thoughts,
most largely pointless.

I had excellent conversation with younger brains 'til 3am:
I feel...resurrected?

I'm trying to finish what I've had going on for years.
Unless you didn't know, I'm also a completionist.

This is relevant because: I don't rest unil I see something thru.
(which, to add, explains why I am tired all the live-long day)

(I'll be back in a bit to see if I can reach ten today, or if I fall short.)

Ahh, that was some beautiful wave action. Thanks. And I found this one there, too...another nice one:


I'm keeping it open in another tab to explore further since there is plenty more interesting there to see.

Truthful tale: I don't believe I actually watched that video yet (the one I shared with you). I saw a 15-sec news piece about the new-crowned Miss Reef a couple months back, a contest of which is said to declare who "owns" the best ass in the world (tropics).

Additionally, I didn't know that Sophia Santi had gotten any advertising business, though that's mainly due to my in-the-box thinking that she only does what her career title allows her to (she's an internet glamour model / explorative B/G star? )

{#2}

I never heard of Sophia Santi until now. If only I had enough time to explore all curiosities! But I'll make time to investigate her accomplishments further in the immediate future. And you speak the truth when you mention world's best ass as a possible sub-theme of that Miss Reef link you posted. Nice meaty, wavey asses.

I am not all that intimately akin to the doings of Miss (Mrs.?) Sophia Santi, especially in recent years (I've weaned myself off of collecting erotic sets for some years now, but I'm open to beginning again... we'll see). Anyway, one of her better-known aliases is Natalia Cruze, at least when she's working with well-noted adult photographer Suze Randall (and now, her daughter, Holly Randall)

+ bonus

I can see you are the enabler tonite, and I'd thank you for it.
But, problem is: writing two or three thoughts for me, take about eight long minutes of saying basically nothing.
I wonder what your next topic of conversation shall be? (for the sake of the thread, and my slow fingers, may you keep it simple?)

{#3}

Well it seems that Sohia Santi was a lot more sexually graphic as Natalia Cruze. In recent years I have a preference for a subtler approach to eroticism vs the blatantly obvious "in your face" porn...usually.

I don't feel inspired to go in any particular direction at this moment...sort of like waiting for the next wave. Sometimes I get inspired from elsewhere and I bring it back here. Other times I get inspired here and ride the wave of inspiration until it breaks on the beach.

When the tide comes in,
containing it's the hard part.
We should be prepared.

Check your pm's, Jetee.

I could ride the waves on this pencil, even in a tsunami!

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...207/pencil.jpg

An international group of volunteers led by multiple Guinness world record holder, Ashrita Furman, have just constructed a 76 foot long pencil in Queens, New York, the longest pencil in the world. The pencil was unveiled to coincide with a commemorative function celebrating 76 years in the life of Sri Chinmoy, the internationally respected artist and humanitarian.

The pencil weighs in at over 18,000 pounds, with a 2 1/2 foot long eraser at its end. The ‘lead’ alone weighs over 4,500 pounds, and is made using a graphite core 10 inches thick, which had to be sharpened at the end using a powerful Sawzall reciprocating electric saw instead of your average pencil sharpener. A whopping fifty gallons of paint were needed to finish off the outside of the pencil. In all, an estimated two million regular pencils could be made out of the materials used in the construction.

Forty volunteers from twenty different countries spent two weeks constructing the pencil, working from 7am to 8pm every day with the occasional night shift as the project neared completion.

I have a special soft spot, probably it's yellow, for very small pencils. I always save them since they served me so well.

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...7/img_3677.jpg

I don't consider her to be involved in the "in-your-face" aspect of the industry (though she might have "graduated" into more graphic ventures since I last heard). I like the gradual tease of her personality, and it shows more if you were to see her in a complete photoset, rather than a few raunchy "Hot Pics".

I might seek to inspire you by posting continously (and mind willing, daily) into your WAVES compendium.

I'm also a sort of person that needs that impetus to start talking [not much is going on in this fleshy melon beyond your screen].
