that price just HAS to be wrong. the damn thing isn’t gold plated.

The weight is listed as 1275kg, so it’s gotta be solid gold right?
Of course, with the Euro doing so poorly of late that works out to like 45 ounces.

I bought the costume.
I’ll tell you how the staples got there when you’re older.

Are childish things we’ve started enjoying as adults okay?
What about childish things that aren’t toys, like Count Chocula or ballerina styled pajamas or waiting to the last minute to do things that I had literally months to do like ask this question?

In my mind U-Man stole a police car, was powersliding on grass past his tripod while tossing out Molotov cocktails so he’d have some fire to slide through when the cops showed up. Then the cops get in close and see it’s U-Man and the grizzled older cop explains to his baby-faced partner that they can’t arrest him, “he’s too damn good”.

Also, in my mind, Mrs. U-Man only patiently chides him “stealing police cars and setting the park on fire again honey? Aren’t you a little old for that” when he gets home. But U-Man‘s all like “That’s the point!” then he chugs a half gallon of cask-strength rye whiskey and his camera straight out bites a rottweiler in the face and then he jumps into a hole in the wall and goes to sleep, or so we’re left to assume BECAUSE WE NEVER SEE IT.

I shamelessly stole the idea from Peter Root.

My innovations were 1. using a puddle of superglue to hold the staples in place and 2. not trying to make any meaningful statement about the ephemerality of the interwoven strings of moments comprising and compromising our lives.

Can I get a ruling on this?

Hey now … whats wrong with my Canon? I kinda like it.

Sorry to have to break it to you, but it’s junk. All your non-Canon lenses too. Contagious.
I’d tell you to throw it away but it might be toxic. I know a place that’ll process and recycle most of it for free though. Just carefully pack it in a box and ship it to:
M.F. Stapler
505 S. Hotchkiss St
Chicago, IL 60606

They accept cash donations too, if you want to throw some money in the box.

What about flying bugs (ex: butterflies, moths, dragonflies, etc)?

My Argus, she’s got a hideous fungal infection, so shooting a roll through her probably not so much.

You know, it’s so old you could probably take the lens apart just by unscrewing it, then scrub the couple elements it has and put it back together easily enough.

Sheesh, I might need to bring a dolly to mug you both in one trip.

Just wondering how staplermofo is going to make a stapler look lonely.

So far my plans are (1) a stapler spoofing Picasso’s blue period, (2) a stapler with a mini volleyball with a stapler face drawn on it, and (3) a stapler overdosing while IMing someone about being hardcore.

Past experience tells me they’ll all turn out to be harder than I thought, so I’ll give up, wallow in self pity, get drunk and weep to myself while watching old youtube videos of S/mileage working for their major debut.

WHICH WOULD BE AN EASY SHOT BUT SOME JERK SAID NO SELF PORTRAITS!

I live in Chicago!

Come to think of it, does this mean bad ass in the way that, you know, like, Girl Scout cookies are so delicious they’re bad ass?

No hyperbole here… but I came up with my greatest photography-related idea for this one. Problem is that I have to rig up some sort of orionid-esque contraption to make it happen. A pretty sturdy rig with levers and pulleys and whatnot. So I’m gonna try to pull it off in two days. We’ll see. So frustrated.

…Maybe we’ll have another b-sides or day late contest?

I tried to do a “to hell in a handbasket” shot and it completely sucked every single time.

When is the swearing, hitting things, crying and giving up contest?

[staplermofo]

Is panning limited to a pivoting camera (more specifically, is running parallel okay)?
