Boots MacGee Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 When I was a kid my parents would take us to the airport to watch planes take off and land, I used to love doing that.

Red Cat Jenny Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Tahiti...sigh..someday I will bribe a ticket out of these people as stay in one of those hut things. NOt only that ..but this flight originates in Paris *Sigh* then stopps in NY and then nonstop to Tahiti! Everyone should go to the airport and watch planes take off...how could you not?

Caraccioli Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 That reminds me of this...and it sort of reminds me of this (H.R. Giger is so weird): What the hell is that thing? The Chattanooga Chew Chew? I think it was in a movie. (I really think it was some pet project of H.R. Giger's that he showed to a director who said, "Oh, what the hell. Let's put it in the movie.") Giger is probably best known for his design of the aliens from the movies of the same name(s) and Sil from the Species' movies. (And yet, while I know all this, I've only seen the movie Aliens from either of those series of movies.) Giger is into the whole cyborg, exoskeleton, scaly monster kit-bashing thing. I had a friend who had a book of his sketches. Weird. Just plain weird. "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Cat Jenny Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 OOh exo skeleton. I had the coolest biology teacher. He taught us how to instantly identify either type of skeleton. He said if you step on it and it goes "Squish-crunch" - Endo skeleton "Crunch-squish" - exo skeleton.. I never forgot that.. Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help....

CrazyCholeBlack Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Callenish's pictures reminded me of these from my trip to CA last year. Monterey Bay.

callenish gunner Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 that road goes on like that for about 5-6 miles with only some peat bogs to break up the monotony .....yeah it's lovely until you've lived there for almost 20 years in a house full of weavers and fisherman ...you didn't get to see that there is no running water and the facilities are a small stone shed about 30 feet out the backside of the house and the village has less than 100 people and you're related to most of them in one way or another.... and other than getting drunk frequently there isn't a whole lot of social life ........and having hell fire and brimstone tossed in your face on a daily basis if you don't toe the line and live by the scottish free church rules .... with the family plot just outside the door as well so it's a lovely spot to visit and sight see but living there for a lifetime is pure hell ...at least for me!!!

LadyBarbossa Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Some awesome pics here. Here's one of my fav pics. Taken a year and a half ago on an august morning north of Camden, SC on the actual battlefield site. VERY... surreal... Awesome image taken by my nephew last year at Port Washington's Pirate fest. Already he's an aspiring Photographer! The 3rd line at Guilford Courthouse battle grounds in Greensboro, NC... ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"

LadyBarbossa Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Aye... that he does. I'm encouraging him to use his camera to take ramdom pics when he can. And to believe... he's barely used a camera! Another image taken a few years ago... Nov 2000... on top of Mt Petit Jean in Arkansas. BTW... that's my dad (tallest) and nephew (shortest). And another pic I like... other folks like this one, too. I've had requests for copies of this one... ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"
