My, um, what a complexion you have. :D

Is that what men eat to keep up with you?

:right:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO



AAAAAUUUUUUUGHHHHHHHHHHHHGHGHGHGHHGH


NOT THE CUBICLE FARM!!!!!!!!

Well, it is the "Endurance Mix."

Sigh. It is what it is.

But at least they let me wear a $12 land's end t-shirt and work a late-morning shift and prefer me to run a Linux desktop.

Well, I've tried twice to take an RFN picture, but I just can't do it. Both times I took several shots, but the pictures make me look very angry, so I've deleted them all. I'm a very happy person, so I don't want to post pictures that make me look like I'm not.

I think I just don't photograph well.

Think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts.....CLICK!

Try naked, HLJ.

Or failing that, try imagining xoB naked.

We don't need a picture of him puking.

Perhaps I should take the picture while reading the Cellar. That usually makes me smile.

Me either......just do it.
I just went for the photo that made me look the least crazy.......I'm not even crazy- but aparently when I am determined and trying to be brave...I look like a nut bag. Googly eyes and all that....I also look a lot heavier.......I said you know what? I normally have make-up on and am dressed better- give them the worst so they don't have high expectations.
:D

I'll be in Germany next week. I'll see if I can get someone to take my picture in the Lederhosen and one of those funny hats they wear.

I've got no legs, I've got no legs
 

It isn't exactly RFN, but this is the first picture of me on the Cellar.

This was taken on the top of Mount Evans, in Colorado, at about 14,260 feet ASL.

I took the picture myself, with the camera that is in my hand.

Very nice to see you - by the way - did you get that coke I sent, it might put the smile on your face.:rolleyes:

How many grams Jester ????

We use to love going up to Mt. Evans. The goat heards were cool. The buildings at the top were cool as well.

Yes. That's how I got so high.

I posted some pictures of goats and a whistlepig here.

28 - I did send it through the proper passages. Of course, it all depends on how much ended up his nose, I mean on his hands. Sniff, do you smell that. The nose knows.:)

Ah, a High Land Journey photo - good deal, dude! That's a fine picture and it looks like a fine place to be. I'm especially glad we've gotten these recent shots, since I have been having a little trouble keeping some folks straight as I get more acquainted around here.

Oh, we're still gonna get the Lederhosen, right? :D

That is an amazing camera. What, has it got a time warp setting or something? Little bitty wormhole generator?

10 minutes ago:

happy

I used to look like that once.

Then I lost my sense of humour. :(

Nah...you can still look like that. It takes some time, but it's all about getting the pieces to fit. I'm a little slow, so it took longer...and it also required me going on a 6-year journey 900 miles from home. :)

I'm the happiest I've ever been in my life. I've always tried to be happy, but there were a lot of other emotions pulling me down. Or rather, I let them pull me down. I still have all those other emotions, but I've learned how to better deal with them so that I can be optimally happy.

Sorry if I'm coming across as ridiculous and new-agey. :)

Aww, you guys totally look sweet on each other......I mean sweet to gether:D

hey- nice to see you HLJ! See...that wasn't so bad huh?
I would get your camera checked.

Sycamore that is so sweet...
That makes me want to vomit. (in a good way)

You'll need to explain this now, you realize?

The picture is 'shopped, of course! :lol:

I bought the remote control, of course.

Edit: Just kidding. The picture is reflected off a space mirror.


I do like Elspode's timewarp idea.

But the camera isn't pointing at itself. What's a space mirror? I can picture a setup with two or three mirrors to take this picture, but not with just one.

Whenever light passes from one medium to another, it bends - which is why a straw appears to bend in a glass of water. Some of the light striking the interface is transmitted and some is reflected. (These effects are due to the differences in the speed of light between the two materials. A similiar thing happens in network cables that aren't properly terminated.)

At very high elevation, the light reflects off the interface between the atmosphere and space, hence the term space mirror. Because the atmosphere is curved, the light reflects at an angle, not straight back. This is why it appears that the camera is not pointing at itself.

Without looking through the viewfinder, it's very difficult to get the shot to come out right. That's what the headlight is for.

Are you funnin'?

Yes.

In other words, He Lied, Jester. :D

Hey, hey... bad guys lie, good guys embellish.

I thought the physics/optics sounded plausible. Didn't they? It must have been the altitude. It was very strong that day. Plus, the light from Venus reflected off some swamp gas...

Whiskey Beat - I don't think xoB got your line. (Notice your transformation; I think this sounds more syncopated.)

You do look a bit grumpy, but its still cool to see you :)

??? That's a happy look. I had to go through a lot of pictures before I found that. Now you know why I didn't post the ones that I thought looked grumpy.

What'd I miss?

Bruce, I think HLJ was referring to my attempt (in post #756) to jokingly play off the whole initial/name thing.

Oh, ok.

Here I am in my first fencing tourney. Yes I was placed in the bald guy pool... you gotta problem wit dat?

If you're in the bald guy pool Griff, you're cheating!
Very dashing btw

I believe that is the optimum hair angle, but thanks!

It shouldn't surprise me when people don't look quite the way I pictured them, but I will need a bit of time to get used to the glasses. I suppose that sounds silly but that's what struck me. Anyway, looking good, Griff. Oh, by the way, I really don't think you could fool anybody there by trying to hide an épée behind your back. :rolleyes:

Okay...can someone explain the camera thing to me? I got lost somewhere.

He Likes Joking was just pulling our collective leg, Dana. I must say, he presented a pretty story, and the general confusion here helped muddle the whole thing enough to make me go back and re-read the last few pages again.

Aha! HLJ's photo was taken with a Canon PowerShot A95. Below is a picture of that camera, which does not match the one HLJ is holding. Forget the color and look at the viewfinder of the A95. Now look at HLJ's camera - not the same. I think this one is officially debunked.

But....How could you know that? How could you know what camera took the picture? *is getting very confused*.

Aha, yet again. In emulating the Sherlock Holmesy-like efforts Shawnee made earlier, I have downloaded HLJ's original photo and examined its properties:

1. In My Computer or Windows Explorer right-click the file name.
2. Select Properties from the context menu.
3. Go to the Summary tab. If you see blank boxes and an Advanced button, click the button.
4. Scan down to find the Camera Model.

[Basil Rathbone] Simple deduction, my dear Dana. [/Basil Rathbone]

Ahhh... but can you identify the make and model of his headlamp?


Soooo easy.... the maker's name is on the strap. Come on!

Bald is cool, but Little Lord Fauntleroy pants, geriatric support hose and hi-tech sneakers, are a fashion faux pas of the first order.

Hey, that stings! ;)

Whiskey Beat - you're going to have to change your name to Whiskey Snopes. That was some excellent deducting.

We're sitting in London Heathrow airport awaiting the final leg of our flight to Frankfurt. We've been awake pretty much since yesterday morning.

That is all.

Make sure you get me a present HLJ.

I seriously need to come up with a little nickname for you, its annoying in my head saying HLJ when I type it.

Safe trip!!

Thanks DucksNuts.

You can just think of me as Hung. Or Jesus. Or maybe you can come up with something better?

Has anyone noticed there are very few pics in this thread? I'm just saying.

How about "Like"?
