you miss Dwayner or sumpin'? I know I do

OMG! I had heard he was missing. Tragedy to hear about his death.

Good thread! And here I thought I was the only one who got sketched while rapping.

I predict that the woman will prob lose her license. My dad lost his for far less. Great tale nontheless.

Uncle Tricky and Mr. Natural...those always make me chuckle.

From the Willamette Week: "Forrester Research estimates that three million American jobs will be outsourced to other countries in the next 15 years, and with them $136 billion in wages."

Hear that sucking sound? That's US jobs getting flushed down the toilet while GW continues to dump billions into Iraq.

I heard a speaker at a seminar say that customer service jobs were moving to India because they are better trained on computers than Americans. The entire billing department for Kaiser is now located in India. Also it seems lots of jobs are being lost to automation. Anyone been to an airport recently?

Last year labor day weekend as I was heading off on a camping trip, the rocket box on top of my car flew open as I was getting onto the freeway and a small duffel carrying all my personal shit (favorite pair of jeans, bathing suit, socks, undies, toothbrush...you get the idea) flew out and onto Hwy 84. I circled back and even had a shopping cart bum go down the freeway and look for it but no luck - it was gone! The following Monday I received a call from Kaiser pharmacy. A man named "Dennis" had tracked me down from my prescription and left his cell number. I called for days but the number was disconnected. WTF! About three months later I saw the number in my phonebook and I thought to myself "Dennis? Who the hell is Dennis?" So I tried the number again and he picked up! He'd re started his service and he still had my bag! I honestly never thought I'd see those jeans again! He thought the bag he found on the freeway would be filled with cash and was a little disappointed to just find "girl's crap" in there.

I thought this might be about Ivan's baby but it's nice to get an update on baby scot'eryx. And yes, I'm a sucker for babies Hi Bill!

One of the most imaginative TRs I've seen in a long time.

I think he uses the wide angle to good effect - the long lens too. Truly amazing, inspiring photos and no watermark to detract from the awesome imagery.

I met a woman at Smith who was wearing a very unique, bright pink harnass (petzl I think) that she said was from the 80's...or was it the 70's?

I miss Dwayner

No I'm not!

IS it still at the Hollywood? That's spittin' distance from my house!

How much?

Since my son recently shanghaied my N70 and now my digital (Nikon), I think I'm going to buy an Olympus Stylus and start taking slides again. Sorry no help to you tlg.

All the more impressive since he only used an Olympus Stylus. Great little cameras those.

Tanks!

Is there a link to the review? I've only seen the trailer and read an interview with the director about the location shooting...

I'd look at life from both sides now from win and lose and still somehow It's life delusion I recall I really don't know life at all

I switch between that and TV on the Radio's "Young Liars" EP compulsively. And once in a while I listen to "Oh, Inverted World" so that I don't become too one track minded. If you got the change, they're playing in your town this weekend...at Showbox. I'm treating my son and three of his friends to the show on Monday.
