Oh. Right. As you were.

Post by: V-Adore on January 12, 2004, 08:13:44 pm: Hey, the Trainspotting poster! Mad props. (Admittedly, my first association with it was the faintly dim crew girl who lived next to me last year and owned that poster, but it's still a k-rad poster nonetheless.)

Post by: jough on January 12, 2004, 08:15:25 pm: Dude, the Oxford and khaki look and I go *way* back (along with combat boots). I think it's because it was the unofficial uniform of my old schmancy primary school.

There was a time back in the mid-90s, after those Gap commercials started coming out with Louis Prima's "Jump Jive 'N Wail", that I was actually IN FASHION.

But yeah, I'm all conservative punk dressed. Anyone can get tats and piercings and dress all funky. I look so conservative/young Republican that it's subversive.

Oh, dude, pimp away. Just try to keep it to a minimum of postings. Anyone with over 250 on-topic posts can pretty much get away with anything but attacking another member.

Post by: AlohaDawg on January 12, 2004, 09:48:53 pm: I would buy the camera, but the picture of you taking a picture clearly shows that all the lettering is backward and the button is on the wrong side. I thought only HP was still supporting that reverse Polish stuff.

It's a pretty hefty camera. Looks pretty good quality though.

Here's a picture of me smiling I just took with my new camera. I think you'll see that I am like, the least scary person in the world:

Oh my stars. Did that charmingly nerdy fellow in the first picture sell his soul to Satan in exchange for total messageboard domination? Or was the seed of this transformation always deep within the little golden haired boy with terrifying smile? Perhaps there are some things we were not meant to know...

I'd have put a bid in to drive the price up (hindsight and all) but I'd still be scared of winning it...
