COME ON YOU YANKS
|
I got a digital camera for Christmas. I'm going to use it now.
In this thread, I'll take a picture (hopefully one a day) of a random thing near me. I'll share it with you, my friends, along with any type of story that goes along with it. It probably won't be too entertaining, but you never know. Also, there's a better than not chance that I'll soon decide that it's not fun. I'll then stop doing it. Everyone is free to contribute to this thread with random shit around them. The more the merrier. Without further ado... This is a picture of a scorpion which has been made into a glass paperweight. I'm not exactly sure where it came from. I think my parents brought it back from kansas once when they went to see some family out there...but not positive. Also, it's not mine...although I have been accused of destroying the felt pad which rests on its underside. Either way, there it is. I have a few questions. First of all, is the scorpion inside actually real? My guess is yes, and I'm quite sure that the manufacturer would claim the same...but what's to keep them from putting a fake scorpion in there? Nothing. Nothing at all. It's not like people are going to go to the trouble of chipping away at the half inch of glass in which the creature is encased. I sure as hell amn't. Another question: Was this scorpion caught for the sole purpose of being covered in a semicircle of glass? I think it's a fair question. Is there a squadron of scorpion hunter/paperweight makers out there in the desert with sacks and sacks full of miniature fuckers like this one? I really don't know, but I sure would like to. You may have noticed that the paperweight is resting upon an exotic pillow. This pillow is older than I...I think. Again, not mine, but I sure am a fan of it. You can clearly see a bear to the right of the piece. Above it is a lion, to the left a leopard, and below is a large tiger's head. To the far right, even to the right of the bear (which I can only assume is a Sexbear) is a zebra. A fucking zebra. He would be absolutely torn to shreds by the other animals on the pillow. What a pussy. It's like a horse with stripes. Pussy. [ January 05, 2004, 01:54 AM: Message edited by: Orgazmo ] |

This is a piñata in which I was half creator. Crafted for a spanish class (III I believe, it doesn't matter they all blow equally), Monoso (I think that's what we named it) is a nearly perfect replication of a severed monkey head. Yes, you filthy son of a bitch, it is a monkey. Fuck you, it does too look like a monkey. Go to hell. Anyway, it was given to me by the other pinata-ist as a graduation gift. Because I don't like it staring at me while I'm at the computer (and because it has no greater purpose), I plan on setting it a'fire at the next sanctioned Nubblies meltable session. Was there a meltables session held a few nights ago? Yes. Unfortunately, it wasn't officially sanctioned (it didn't even occur at tongue's house). Either way, its future looks very warm. That's what it gets for being a fucker. Melted. It gets melted. Of course, it's made of newspaper and tissue paper (and a plastic...which was used in an attempt to cheat)...so melting it will be a bit tough. Yeah it will.

![]() Above is a crappy quality picture of my favorite of my 2 cats. It is a male himilayan flame point I believe, named Ruddy. He is about 6 years old now. My other cat is 7 years old and pretty much the same type of cat but instead of having the orange/red color, she is grey in those spots. Her name is Fancy. |

Nathan.
Please reconsider. You would be doing a disservice to every member of Nubblies, nay, the world if you never showed your cats ever again. I implore you, please continue to show and tell. The world deperately needs you... and your cats. |

This is my dog's eye. He has diabetes. Because of that, some type of crystal or something collects on his retina. He's blind because of it. Anyway, this is his cloudy little eye with his crystalized little retina. I think it's kinda pimp. It'd probably be quite a bit more pimp if it he could still see...but, since he can't, let's try to find a positive in the situation. I think it definitely makes him more intimidating looking. I mean, if I saw two dogs ready to attack, one on the left and one on the right, and they both looked exactly the same except for one had really wicked looking cloudy eyes (and I didn't know that the cloudy eyes meant that the dog was blind), I'd definitely run from the cloudy eyed dog and take my chances with the non-cloudy eyed dog. That's just me, though. Maybe you're different. |

Yes, I do believe that is what you're seeing good sir Niger. Silver is one of those girls that's "open" to new ideas.
