^ reminded me of Cat People, strange movie I liked and not just because Nastassja Kinski was in it.

I saw a film one early morning called The Tiger Makes Out (I think).

I'm not sure what the overall point of it was, so I classified it as a bad movie in my head.

I'll find a picture that reminds of the film's title.. (as well as getting around to re-finding that animated .gif of the planets and stars' scale).

Jet, if I recall correctly, There is a vid somewhere in the Found on the net forum.

After you recently mentioned that, I searched hi and lo and inbetween for such an animated gif but didn't find it.

Ourcrazymodern? 11-05-2010 06:46 AM

I'm thinking searching
"hi and lo and inbetween"
becomes the seeker.

BadNick 11-05-2010 08:01 AM

I was just inspired to search this and found that some people have named their children "Google"

Though it sounds sort of cute, I would not want a child named "Dogpile"

Ourcrazymodern? 11-05-2010 10:18 AM

If it referred to
communal activity
& not the other?

BadNick 11-05-2010 11:13 AM

true....getting into a pile of bodies is a nice thing

I've found that wrestling with a few dogs or rolling around with a few humans are both enjoyable activities.

Ourcrazymodern? 11-05-2010 11:55 AM

Dogs are easier,
'cuz despite their giant teeth,
we're thinking faster.

BadNick 11-05-2010 12:16 PM

I almost added "simpler" to the dogs part above, along the lines of your "easier". But not because of intellect, more because rolling around with humans seems to bring up ulterior motives for me....especially human women. They're just too enjoyable.

I don't run into much anymore, but I'm glad to have had one last chance to speak.

Have you noticed the endeavor yet? I've gotten on about it (finally).

Now, tho, what lies in wait is actually spreading it to the masses (via posterous, or something else... a blog.)

Ourcrazymodern? 11-06-2010 12:54 AM

Not to worry, copyright!

Jetée 11-06-2010 01:05 AM

Yeah, but too many ideas and not enough time to investige 'em all really bogs me down.

Can anyone remind me when the bulk of my whole calendar shift, mathematical alignment, 24 to 27-hour day research was? I think it was before the summer transition eclipsed in the sky, but I'm not sure that translates into a page number.

I'll remind myself to forget about it again by finding it.

Just in case size matters, here are some long and large ships:

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...S/07120800.jpg
N.A.I. Superba class: 381.9 meters / 1,253 feet
Built by Eriksberg Mekaniska Verkstads in Göteborg, Sweden. It was a massive ship with only two ships in it's class.

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...S/1f16d310.jpg


Emma Mærsk: 397 meters / 1,302 feet
A container ship owned by the A. P. Moller-Maersk Group. When she was launched, Emma Mærsk was the largest container ship ever built. As of 2009 she and her 7 sister ships are the longest container ships constructed and the longest ships currently in use.[1] Officially, Emma Mærsk is able to carry around 11,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) according to the Maersk company's method of calculating capacity,[2] which, at her introduction into service, was about 1,400 more containers than any other ship is capable of carrying. - wikipedia.org

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


Esso Atlantic class: 406.6 meters / 1,334 feet
A supertanker that was built in 1977 by Eddsso Eastern Marine.

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...600x600Q85.jpg


Batillus class: 414.2 meters / 1,359 feet

The biggest ships by gross tonnage ever constructed were four Batillus-class supertankers built in France at the end of the 1970s, having 555,000 metric tons deadweight (DWT) and a 414-meter length. Built in the Louis Joubert Lock, they were launched from the shipyard Chantiers de l'Atlantique at Saint Nazaire. The only other ship considered by many as larger was the Knock Nevis (ex Jahre Viking, Happy Giant and Seawise Giant) of 1981, which was originally designed with a smaller tonnage than the Batillus class, but had her length and tonnage increased during construction. -wikipedia.org

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...20Batillus.jpg


Knock Nevis: 458.5 m / 1,504 ft

The Knock Nevis is a massive ship, last used as a floating storage and offloading unit (FSO). She was previously a supertanker and was the longest ship ever built, as well as possessing the greatest deadweight tonnage ever recorded. Fully laden, her displacement tonnage was 646,642 tons, the heaviest of any ship of any kind. For these reasons she was generally considered the largest ship ever built.-wikipedia.org

"With Ships the Sea was Sprinkled Far and Nigh,"

With ships the sea was sprinkled far and nigh,
Like stars in heaven, and joyously it showed;
Some lying fast at anchor in the road,
Some veering up and down, one knew not why.
A goodly vessel did I then espy
Come like a giant from a haven broad;
And lustily along the bay she strode,
Her tackling rich, and of apparel high.
The ship was nought to me, nor I to her,
Yet I pursued her with a lover's look;
This ship to all the rest did I prefer:
When will she turn, and whither? She will brook
No tarrying; where she comes the winds must stir:
On went she, and due north her journey took.


William Wordsworth

This is quite a difficult poem to process, in the rhyming sense...

Ah, now that I map it out, it makes a tad more sense in the rhythm and time.

(fun fact: most poems that employ an elementary rhyming scheme attached to its structure, if spoken aloud by thine, ends up being read to the tune of Gilligan's Island. I'm not sure when exactly I lost my way into reading poetry the way it was intended, but if it has a similar, or even a totally different order to its verse of rhyme, I usually try to make it fit to the tv show's tune first, and then I shake my head, because I can't escape from this isle of monotonous speech patterns. It's embedded.)
