Wow, CC! That IS a snazzy car!Ofcourse, those pictures were taken mere minutes after it was washed. Most of time there's dirt on the sides (particularly the bottom part) and the back (trunk door).I'm thinking I'm going to have to take a pic of one of the sides too (after a wash), because the current pictures don't convey the situation there.
And keep us up to date on your house! ;DI already promised I'd do that a long time ago, before I even had a digital camera, and I'm not the person to come back on promises (if I can remember them, that is ofcourse). There's a few more in the pipeline, but I've not 'prepped' them yet for publication here. 8)
but I quite like your house CC :)See, that's why I said residings. The terrain is mine, the house that will be built on that terrain will be mine, but the house I'm currently in isn't mine. ;)
But you won't give us a close-up huh?A close-up of what/who?
Of the person in the middle of the pic ::)And why is that important to you?
Just that you haven't posted an official pic of yourself since who-knows-when :PI don't get any official pic of myself taken that much. And it's rather hard to take a pic of myself too, since I can't see what I'm taking a picture of if I hold the photo camera with its front at me. :P
Then get someone else to take it! XD Or just look odd and take 14 pictures until your sure at least ONE of them has to be good :PI just thought of something. Somewhere at work there's currently a fairly recent photo of me, but that would require me to think of it when I'm there, which is always a big uncertainty. And if I took 14 pictures of myself I'm fairly sure there would be something wrong with every one of them. I'm a lousy auto-photographer. :-X
Write it really big on your forehead and then people will point at you and look at you oddly.Write with what? Because a) it has to come off again as soon as I am finished with the task but b) it has to stay one until I have finished it. Anyway, even withut the big text on my forehead I already managed to copy the jpg to my HDF but a) I forgot to mail it to my home account and b) it's too late now to start bringing out the floppy disc stuff and get out a floppy disk and so forth, so you'll have to wait a little longer.
So, how did you manage to take the picture(someone took the picture for you?)? ;)As I 'touched' some posts before, a short while ago (almost) everybody at work had (to have) their picture taken and recently we learned why: to put on the intranet. So, all I had to do was locate mine, grab it and transfer it to my home pc, resize it so it didn't stretch the forum and there you go. 8)
Good picture Bob, hope you start to post 'em more often :DNot very likely. ::)
Looks like a skylight or solar power thing...Skylight? Yeah right, ain't nothing in that attic but heating equipment. ;-D
CC, It looks like this project is getting under way. When do you think it will be completed?If all goes according to plan, work should be finished around the end of January 2006. Goodnight! :zzz:
Is it done yet? If so, post some pics! :pIt's done, more pictures will follow soon (as in, maybe tomorrow). 8)
I never have the planning to get the second snowball to a size I can still lift. :PIf a snowball is too big, you can always push off a whole chunk of snow so it gets lighter. :scholar:
It's packed too tightly. :PThen push off a smaller chunk and push harder. :P
They take a while to load. :PEven if you have broadband. ::)
Even if you have broadband. ::)I think it's more because they're in .png format and each pic is almost 300kb. If you saved them as jpg's instead they'd be a lot smaller and load much quicker. :P
If you saved them as jpg's instead they'd be a lot smaller and load much quicker. :PI don't think so. They were originally in jpg (1600x1200 pixels). All I have done to them is:
Cute dino. <3Pretty cheap too. The next year they made the fair-game in which I had managed to win a flurry animals two years in a row (the bear and the dino) pretty cheap a bit harder, which rendered the method I had used thusfar unuseable and I couldn't come up with a new one that was as efficient so I quit playing that fair-game.
So, when are you going to install the invisible force-field? ;-DMy real house is pretty well protected too, but ofcourse not as good as the Asylum. The Asylum has much better financial backing than me personally. 8)
If you had unlimited funds, what *would* you add to your house? ;)Lots of pv-panels. 8) And I'd have a big windmill in my backyard, but technically speaking, that's not part of my house. ;D
Pv-panels?photovoltaic, as in generating electricity ofcourse. 8)
Pv-panels?photovoltaic, as in generating electricity ofcourse. 8)
Not a bit, they ARE solar panels. :PThere are also solar panels which heat water, those I've got already. 8)
Honestly, that house looks more and more awesome with every new picture. :PThe house itself (on the outside) hasn't changed much at least for a few weeks now. But, thank you for that comment. ;-D
I wonder what the most creative house looks like. XDYou mean in the world, of of the (regular) forumers?
The heel is bigger on one. :PNot just the heel, look closer! 8)
One's a high boot and the other's a low boot. XD (One covers the ankle, other doesn't as much.)Nope, when I put my feet in, they both reach up just as high. ;)
Laces are different? :PNope.
The right boot has a lot more material at any rate.How do you mean? Bear in mind I may have taken the photos from a different distance. ::)
*guesses the shoes are orthopedic*Just regular Bad Boys© sturdy walking boots/shoes.
There's a little mark on the one on the left. :PMarkings on both shoes are mirrored, so if it's not visible on the right one, it's probably on/at the back. 8)
The one with a bigger heel has an arch, the left one is flatfooted. :PClose enough. 8) NO, it's not weird optical illusion, the shoes really do differ that much in size. They didn't at first, but they have become that way. First another picture, then some explanation.
And, all the objects in the background are about the same size in both pictures, and the shadows from the window are in the same place. :P That doesn't account for the huge size difference.
*thinks copycat must have made some weird optical illusion* ;P
and the heel of my shoe broke on me!But that's normal. With a heel you put so much pressure on it it's bound to give way sooner or later. On a side note though, it started at the back of my shoe too. 8)
We saw this movie about ultrasound and stuff. Someone used this creepy sound machine to bond her heel back onto her shoe.Where can I buy this creepy sound machine? :P ;D
I REALLY need to take it to a shoe repair place. The trouble: no money to do so :(If you read my text carefully, you see I did, but even they could not properly attach the sole back to my shoe. :-\
I know it’s been awhile for me but I don’t remember Netherlands with that type of architecture. Things must have changed a lot. ???I don't live in the Netherlands and never will! :evil:
NO evil stuff will grow in the front-garden. :PWimbledon? I can't even have one tennis court on my lawn (and particularly my front garden), let alone 18! Besides, that would ruin the plants! :-\
Or Wimbledon will be kept there next time. XD

Yet another little quiz-picture you can think about the following week. What material can you see in this picture?
I don't think it's Granite. It's not shiny enough
Looks like broken concrete or Granite, maybe ???. Hard to tell from that distance.Distance? That photograph wasn't taken from that far away, you know. ;)
There's something brown-looking in the middle of the picture...You mean the brown/orange thing? Yes there is, but what does that tell you?
Some f that looks like clay...CC that's not part of your yard is it? :-\That picture was taken in my yard, yes. 8)
but there are a lot of clean flat surfaces which you wouldn’t normally find naturally unless this is from a quarry. ???Quarry? Not exactly, even though it's the result of some heavy construction going on. :scholar:
Copper?

A refuse pile on a construction site? ???Strange, I remember replying to this there already is a picture of my refuse pile a lot sooner in this thread , and I can't think if any reason why such a post would be moved from my thread to another one. :-\
It most definitely is not wet sand. But it's not copper either. :pokerface:QuoteCopper?
Looks more like wet sand to me.
Far enough away it isn't easy to tell what it is. That's the point of this little exercise I assume. :scholar:Of course, I took the picture in such a way it would suit this little game best. :pleased:
I'd guessed that, thus the concrete. ;) But I dunno, I guess I stick by my story of some rock used for construction. 8)When I took the picture the heavy construction had completely ended, and it's not a refuse pile either, as you can see in my reply to Shades. :scholar:
Which do you prefer?I like the one without the main light. 8)
(http://home.scarlet.be/~pin22973/house64.png)Is that a Diablo box I see?
Other side of the office room, where all of my Programs/Games/CD/DVD(-boxes), books are stacked.
Is that a Diablo box I see?You have good eyes. There's definitely a Diablo-box there. 8)
You have good eyes. There's definitely a Diablo-box there. 8):D I love Diablo. At least, the second one, as I've never really played the first one.
:D I love Diablo. At least, the second one, as I've never really played the first one.In case you didn't know, that's a Diablo1-box. However, since I couldn't manage to defeat Diablo himself at the end with my ranger (always my preferred character, in any RPG-game BTW) I quickly lost intrest and didn't bother buying its sequels.
The house looks really good! It was interesting to see the steps of a house being built.
Mode #tslgame +oooooo CC_logging_afkFive times 'o' to someone who's afk? ::)
Mode #tslgame +b CC_logging_afk!*@* by JafarI presume that's a ban because at the the end there's a
[INFO] You are banned from this channel.and a few lines later I read:
Unban CC please XDCouldn't get rid of me, having configured my chatzilla in such a way every time I was booted I automatically logged on again? :P I hope the ban has been lifted by now. ::)
YOU (CC_logging_afk) have been booted from #tslgame by Rosella (Rosella):o You! :evil:
I didn't mean to! :'(We have a saying in Dutch, of which I don't know the correct translation so I'll just type it in Dutch: Berouw komt na de zonde.. :pokerface:
I'm pretty sure "Knuffel mij" is "cuddle me", but that's just a guess. :PI'm pretty sure that's an educated guess, since German and Dutch are both German languages. 8)
but the first bear is cute.Yes, well, my mom searched for that kind of bear but couldn't find it. :-\
I think both bears are adorable!And thus, the 2nd one, I got for Christmas. ;)
Maybe it's "hug me"? XDThe literal translation was given by Deloria, but I think yours suits this particular case better. :scholar:
I'll be unoriginal and say it's a piece of paper. ;P ::) Though I was tempted to say the same thing that Jason did, I don't think the light would have been in the same place in both pictures.Why would the light not be in the same place on both pictures if it was? Or did I interpret that sentence the wrong way?
I believe that that was a reference to the rules of refraction and whatnot as the angle at which we are viewing the car is changed, and (upon my own inspection) the position of the other lights seems changed more so than any relative change in the position of the suspected piece of paper... yes, I looked at the pictures for far too long ::) :PThe suspected piece of paper did not change its position during the time in which I relocated myself and the camera and took the picture from another angle than before. What other lights are you talking about?
The other ligths in the picture; other in that they are not suspected of being a piece of paper. ;) The light on the dashboard for instance changes shape (more rectangular in the second, not so much just a line of light on the dash), and the light at a weird angle (to our larger suspect) in both pictures is in the first "on" the rear view mirror and in the second clearly to the (viewer's) left of the mirror.The light on the dashboard might have been photographed from such a sharp angle only one side of it could be seen in the first picture, and more prominent in the second. And good catch of the light first on and then on the side of the rear view mirror.
*wonders if a study of proportions in the picture would lead to a revelation that the suspected paper is 8.5*11 :P *Are those centimetres or inches? ;D
I'll say it's A4. ;D ::)It sure looks that way, doesn't it. I don't think we have 8.5*11 inch paper available over here. :drunk:
Racx, you still think the big shape is light shining through a window? ::)Clearly paper, considering that the light overlaps it in one picture. Anyway, I wasn't gonna bother guessing, but seeing no one else tried I figured I'd start it off. :P
BTW, :o you're posting! ;DIndeed. :D *goes to post in the asylum* :D
Clearly paper, considering that the light overlaps it in one picture. Anyway, I wasn't gonna bother guessing, but seeing no one else tried I figured I'd start it off. :PAnd the shining light was just a wild guess?
*goes to post in the asylum* :DThe Asylum, always the last stop on my way back out. See you there! :P
And the shining light was just a wild guess?More of a pathetic guess, really.
What if I told you that your hair is on fire?I would say: what's that terrible smell? (I've had my hair set on fire at high school :o .)
What if I were to tell you I were insane? :PI'd say that's a rather accurate description of your forum personality, according to the Asylum Manager. :pokerface:
What if I told you that all the asylum patients are now discharged?I'd tell you that decision is up to the Asylum Manager. :pleased:
What if I told you to get on Goodoldadventures.com soon? ;)I'd say: why?
Well, there was going to be a party of sorts. :PNot anymore?
What if I were to tell you that it's indeed not a beam of light? ;)I can tell you there's indeed light involved. 8)
What if I told you that you are all wrong?Including or excluding yourself? 8)
May I say it looks as though it's mirrored light? :PIf the light was mirrored anywhere, that would have been outside the room the car was in. There was no mirror present in the room, except for the car window itself.
hmm... a mirror could do it... especially if the mirror moved between photos... but then that's a random factor not an environmental one (I had been assuming that it was some effect of having the car in that locale...not something introduced by the photographer)... I don't think I'll guess again just now...The only thing(s) that moved between the 2 photos were me&my camera.
Light through a window.It was as simple as that. Do you understand now how surprised I was that the first (your) guess was already spot on and I wanted you to reconfirm after some other possible solutions had been posted? :sweating:

Well atleast I win!You won't be getting any prize though. :P
Do I get bragging rights? XDWell atleast I win!You won't be getting any prize though. :P
Do I get bragging rights? XDDon't you already have those? ;D
If I ever travel near your place, I'm so gonna crash there and annoy you for atleast a day. :PNo problem, I've got a spare bedroom available at all times, unless my mom decides to crash here for a few days.
To top it all, said financial manager is portraying himself as an expert in knowing me and me colleagues. :-XHe's an idiot then and needs to rethink what he's doing.
What kind of berries are they? :) They look almost like the wild raspberries that grow here in great abundance, though the pic is a bit fuzzy and they flowered months ago. :)They're of the red kind. Yes, I know it's a bit fuzzy, that's why I said the autofocus messed up. I have no idea if it's possible to focus manually, and if it is, how to manage that. Mind you, it's a very simple digital camera. Yes, they flowered months ago. In fact, that picture was taken at least weeks ago. At that time, they were still ripening, nowadays you can't find any ripe berries anymore. 8)
Well it's a guy....I know that much.......How so?
Well it's a guy....I know that much.......How so?
I think it's CC :PYou do know I'm male and males don't usually have hair that long, don't you? ::)
I just thought it looked like male hair.There's a difference between male and female hair ???
I think it's CC :PI agree. :P Even though males don't usually have hair that long, it's hardly uncommon to see pictures of you with your hair shoulder-length.
To me it looks like hair that's been grown out for the first time like this person hasn't had long hair before,and this:
it's hardly uncommon to see pictures of you with your hair shoulder-length.say totally opposite things.
On the other hand, I have no idea why you would be wearing a necklace/chain. :PAre you not familiar with the concept of zodiac signs and people wearing necklaces with their zodiac sign around their neck?
(http://home.scarlet.be/~pin22973/scruffyclean.png)Left definitely looks better!
So, which one do you prefer? The one on the left, with a moustache and beard that hasn't been shaved for two weeks, and the hair all untidy? Or the one on the right, where the beard has been shaved off, the moustache has been trimmed and the hair has had copious amounts of water applied to it to keep it down?
(http://home.scarlet.be/~pin22973/outing1.png)
*kidnaps* :P'Fraid to say, you probably could, if you ventured into my house. I'm guessing she'll start stroking against someone's leg(s) as soon as she hears someone's there. However, we can't have that sort of behavior, kidnapping so:
Nice pics! Your temporary sister looks a bit like Claire from the TV show Heroes. :P
..........Only 3 weeks? For me that would be a halve year.
here's me with a 3-week beard (yes, my facial hair grows slow).
Only 3 weeks? For me that would be a halve year.Actually I noticed it looks more on that photograph than it actually is. There's a shadow which makes it look longer than it is.
(http://home.scarlet.be/~pin22973/present1.png)Awww! XD Do you have a less blurry pic of it?
The kittycat cell phone holder, with my cell phone in it.
Awww! XD Do you have a less blurry pic of it?(http://home.scarlet.be/~pin22973/birthday2007a1.png)
Is this better?Yup. Now we know what Cat looks like when she's on the phone! ;P
That's just mean :P FYI...I'm actually on the phone right now XDXD But you gotta admit, the cat there looks a lot like your avatar, Krystal. :P
Yup. Now we know what Cat looks like when she's on the phone! ;PLOL! ;D
But you gotta admit, the cat there looks a lot like your avatar, Krystal. :PIt does! :P
(http://home.scarlet.be/~pin22973/birthday2007a1.png)Ohhhhh, I want one! :lovegoggles:
asfkljawqaka I can't believe you had the guts to get that cozy with the alligators! :o I could never do that... despite the fact that they look like giant pickles, alligators terrify me.You mean me wrestling with the alligator? If you're afraid of this little one, I wonder what you'd do/feel if you looked at the (much bigger) one that was nearby. Actually, it took some serious convincing from someone else on me before I did it too, you know. I'm not particularly terrified, but I won't say I really feel at ease either. ::)
Sorry to hear bout the accident, glad you're doing better!:yes:
I hope this means that you will be on more. The asylum has been well.... Dead without you.Not promising anything but I'll try. However, there have been times in the past when the patients could keep themselves busy for three weeks without the Manager (currently the Manager's personal assistant) for three full pages. So, it's not my fault that place has been dead. Blame the curse instead.
Nice pics too and a very good snowman.
Sorry to hear bout the accident, glad you're doing better!My forth fracture. Third having do with the arm, but the first where my sleeping was seriously hampered by the thing that was on my back, to keep the shoulder in place. :-\ I was even hampered in my sideways movement. Took quite a lot time before the power in my right arm (I'm right-handed) was stronger again when compared to the force I could put on the left arm..
:yes:I have been notified by the Asylum's personal assistant a certain 'Official Waiter' has missed certain 'monthly sweets'-appointments. :evil:
Hope you can come by more, we miss you!
