The Longest Thread Ever!

[BadNick]

Jet, I love that vid of the Perseids.

Btw, can you post a little guide for me about how to embed vimeo here? Thanks and keep looking up.

[Jetée]

I think we have some combination of Cynth / SMeth to thank for it, as well as some consistent monthly hounding by myself and Shauk.

Basic formula is that the url address to the video below is Perseid Meteor Shower Failure on Vimeo (http://vimeo.com/14133160)

Then, you just encapsulate the unique video ID# in the vimeo's video url address within [vimeo] tags, and it is quite simple; just as easy as the [youtube] tags.

Quote my post to see it.

I'm hoping to start these three new topics tonight:

- The Architecture, Sculpture & Design Thread (either in: Found on Net, Artwork, or MP)
- Creative Advertisements(-ing) (I'm open to suggestions about better titling)
- A little something for BadNick: WAVES

... but the procrastination, and previous ton of work I have built up, might make it difficult.
(I currently have around 25 other tabs opened right now, and on average, I have to sort through maybe 1,200 odd-links, stories and photographs to close and complete my weekend's work started.)

Here's a wave snack to tide us over:



Aquarians truly have the most quicksilver synapses.

I've seen the above before, written by a familiar voice, I'm imagining.

Has it been featured in TLTE! before, and would you happen to know the context?

[ring]

I do believe I posted these shortly after joining TFP.
These images are from a book titled: Disaster Science.

[BadNick]

Jet, thanks for the vimeo explanation. I'll try it soon. Did you start the "wave" thread yet? I'm not trying to pressure or rush you, but I don't want to miss it. I have a "surfing" folder on PB and I'll start adding to it.

ring, I remember that wave sequence.

Here's one I don't recall posting previously ...no credit since I don't know where it came from:

I have that same image, probably bigger, and by the watermark, as well as the file-nomenclature, 96% of me is convinced it originated from deviantART.

Earliest, Nick-0: 2230. I'm watching "my shows".

Excellent intro to the wave thread, Jetty.

I'll enjoy finding worthy contributions.

[Jetée]

I (perhaps: we) posted quite a few choice examples last summer, I recall; the seasons pass much too fast... I've got to quit standing still.

Here's a queued entry from my TLTE note, now-newly created to share with only thee few:

Jet, thanks. I'm honored that you started the wave thread ..for me! I hope others also enjoy it and can contribute cool wave stuff. Thanks, bud.

[Jetée]

Have you ever participated in a wave (sporting event)?

[Jetée]

I'm so unreasonably happy (even in the face of such ambient light: devoid).

Depends what you mean by sporting event. If included in that is riding waves in all sorts of manner for my own personal pleasure...yes. I'm doing it this week though the waves are quite mild now in Ocean City MD. But I've never been in a competitive wave sporting event.

Navy waves are so cute. They are a wave unto themselves, and me I hope.

[Ourcrazymodern?]

Color or seamen?
I don't know these navy waves.
Please post a picture.

(everything is alright)

How about B & W? This is Marcy. Thanks, Marcy...Marcy "Mimi" Lenne Lundstrom.

Marcy served as a Navy WAVE in Washington D.C during World War II. She lived at Arlington Farms (also known as "Acres and Acres of Girls") next to Arlington National Cemetery. Marcy loved going to Arlington National Cemetery and sitting on her favorite tree stump, reading a good book.

I hate to say it, but I agree with that guy (Adam Smith or John Locke, *grumbles) from whatever period he doth spawned: all human reality sucks, is a burden, and is generally: lonesome in the beginning, times in the middle, and certainly at the end. We live but to die.

You regard me as Mr. Optimism, don't you, though? I seem to regard myself that way, and who knows me better than the person who does my thinking for me. (problem is: I'm over-analytical, as well as a huge self-effacement afficianado.)

Where is this going? You tell me.

now thats a wierd backpack..



hey... check out the "circle" thread....

Spiritual rabbits
communing effectively
bring peace to the world.

[BadNick]

To embody the True Spirit of The Rabbit, I shall enjoy some hasenpfeffer. I like it with egg noodles and a hearty red wine.

Carnivores
keep populations

[Ourcrazymodern?]

Eating animals,
you remember you are one
or else deny it.

[BadNick]

true. But I wouldn't want them to eat me. At least wait until I've been dead for a while...dry aged intensifies the flavor.

[Jetée]

Well, we've lost over half of regular participants in the past year.

We're in a dearth, friends. Recount tales of the country Zooks.

The cream rises to the top. I think I'll have a tall glass of buttermilk! Still a quart left in the frig.

You said "frig"!

I'd vote for him to head up the justice department.

You reminded me of this pearl of wisdom: The Annex

[Ourcrazymodern?]

Too bad I read it
before knowing what it meant:
It disconcerts me.

[BadNick]

There's a right time and sometimes it's the wrong time.

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

To Everything
There is a season
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
