Ye Gods redwoodcruzr. Has there been like, a reactor accident in your neighborhood recently?

All noise and no thrust.

[SilverStag]

crazily, there’s really not a lot of noise in the image.

I suppose once you saturate the sensor, noise doesn’t matter 🙂

I think that would count. Although I’m still trying to figure out whether we’re supposed to be going for the coolest looking screw ups or our biggest screwups.

I don’t really think it matters. I can go both ways on that score.

She had a late night celebrating, no doubt 🙂

Try standing the monopod on your foot. I sometimes have to do that anyway to get the height I need to look through the viewfinder, and I noticed it helped with vibration on road edges as traffic goes by. I’ve never tried it in the stands though.

That works sometimes, depending on which shoes I’m wearing. I’m considering slitting a tennis ball and filling it with foam rubber scraps, then putting the tip into that.

Oh, all right:

A croc is a reptile as far as I’m concerned. I think SilverStag’s “reptile as generally defined/understood” criteria works for me.

yeah. We’re Farktographers, not Zoologists.

[SilverStag]

I’m, of course, a giant nerd and you should probably just ignore me and possibly point and laugh too.

OK, will do! 🙂

You people have no idea what a cold, calculating son-of-a-b*tch I can be …. 🙂

Just ask around 🙂

I wanna see the butterfly tattoo – and if it’s NSFW you can email it to me 🙂

[SilverStag]

yup turtles are good. As are dinosaurs (big bonus for pics of live ones!), etc.

Hey, I thought the experts decided that dinos were just big scary birds without feathers. Don’t sound much like reptiles to me. 😉

Experts, shmexperts.

1. The word dinosaur really does not mean ?terrible-lizard?. Actually it was originally defined to mean ?fearfully-great lizard?, by Richard Owen in 1842. The Greek word deinos, when used as a superlative, means ?fearfully-great? ; as used by Homer in The Iliad. It became simplified over time, as an adjective, to mean ?terrible?. In reality, scientists believe that dinosaurs are neither ?terrible? nor ?lizards?!

When the secrets of prehistoric life were unearthed, scientists tried to picture the feelings of those confronted by the great monsters whose fossil bones were coming again to light. Sir Richard Owen (English, 1804-1892) named a few of these creatures, from Greek words. Thus there was the terrible (fearful) lizard (Gk., deinos, ?fearful?, plus sauros, ?lizard?).

Common usage wins, in my NSHO… close enough for horseshoes and Fark. 🙂

Dinosaurs stay in 🙂

[SilverStag]

Yep crocs and gators should be ok.

[SilverStag]

Just call me “Themes R Us” 🙂

I think we shoud add a difficulty Entry must include a reason for why it’s a screwup- those could be entertaining as well.
