Haha, nah.. yours are sexy, but even more so if they maybe had some time-lapse in there so you could see the "TRIMSPA, BABY!" take effect. Anyway, made a thread for general photography in the Art & Literature forum.

Website. Seems like a neat enough show, but I don't agree with the peoples' choices for the top 25. I'm going to make up my own list. Jump on in and do the same! Yay. I guess you can do either 5 and/or 25. Include reasons for your picks, and for your non-picks that seem like obvious choices if you want. Muhammad Ali - loud-mouthed, brash, arrogant, but he could back it up. Later, an incredible man who transcended beyond the boxing world as a diplomat and a truly magnanimous person. Andrew Carnegie - what a capitalist should be.. serves as a replacement for Henry Ford because of his generosity/charity and because I can't stomach anti-Semitism. George Washington Carver - humble, brilliant man (he actually turned down a six-figure job from Thomas Edison just to keep on doing what he loved on his own terms). Frederick Douglass - an MLK before there was one. I usually think of him as the symbol of the struggle for civil rights, even if it was 100 years in the making. Thomas Edison - simply a genius who was pretty crafty as well. Albert Einstein - a genius as well, and an incredibly sensitive guy, too (read some of his thoughts about religion and war). Benjamin Franklin - sort of sagely, in my mind. I consider him a sort of grandfather of America. Billy Graham - impeccable character and integrity.. one of the few men who if you say something bad about, you're actually saying something about yourself rather than your target. Bob Hope - simply a great man who can make you laugh at the world. Katharine Hepburn - image of what a proud, strong woman should be. Thomas Jefferson - LA purchase, Declaration of Indepence, and their effects. Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis - in a similar vein to Katharine Hepburn. Martin Luther King Jr. - civil rights, so strong but subtle with his ideas and delivery. Abraham Lincoln - excellent politician, lots of perseverence, didn't hold a grudge against the South. Malcolm X - King appealed to peoples' minds, Malcolm appealed to peoples' hearts.. more a man of the people. Marilyn Monroe - American icon, sex symbol. Audie Murphy - greatest war hero, in my opinion. Jackie Robinson - broke the color barrier, but only able to because he was courageous and smart about it. Theodore Roosevelt - brass balls, conservation, extension of federal powers, social justice, foreign policy. Franklin Delano Roosevelt - bit the bullet and pulled the nation out of the Great Depression.. good policy-maker in my opinion. Babe Ruth - symbol of American culture. Frank Sinatra - same as above. Jimmy Stewart - great personality, symbol of American culture again. Mark Twain - personal hero. George Washington - Cincinnatus, incredible leader, father of America in my opinion. --- Top 5: Frederick Douglass Albert Einstein Benjamin Franklin Thomas Jefferson George Washington [Edit: added reasons, to keep up with Robinson ]

I guess I'll refrain anyway. I was going to post an Ansel Adams photograph (and no, it's not a landscape, it's a portrait).. but it would seem a little out of place.

Hahaha! At first I thought you meant you did a handstand, then went to 1 hand and pulled out a videophone and started talking like the NFL dude did. Anyway, that's still pretty damn cool.

Are we allowed to post B&W pictures that aren't sexy, by any chance?

I've seen that one before, but instead it was a man and a woman. What do you call an Amish man with his hand stuck up a horse's ass? A mechanic.

She didn't want her identity to be known, maybe because of her family's views or something like that.

Natural selection meets urbanization. Here.

Miles Davis and John Coltrane - My Funny Valentine

MORTICIAN: Who's that then? CUSTOMER: I don't know. MORTICIAN: Must be a king. CUSTOMER: Why? MORTICIAN: He hasn't got shit all over him. ---- ARTHUR: Old woman! DENNIS: Man! ARTHUR: Man. Sorry. What knight lives in that castle over there? DENNIS: I'm thirty-seven. ARTHUR: I-- what? DENNIS: I'm thirty-seven. I'm not old. ARTHUR: Well, I can't just call you 'Man'. DENNIS: Well, you could say 'Dennis'. ARTHUR: Well, I didn't know you were called 'Dennis'. DENNIS: Well, you didn't bother to find out, did you? ARTHUR: I did say 'sorry' about the 'old woman', but from the behind you looked-- DENNIS: What I object to is that you automatically treat me like an inferior! ARTHUR: Well, I am King! DENNIS: Oh, King, eh, very nice. And how d'you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers! By 'anging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society. If there's ever going to be any progress with the-- WOMAN: Dennis, there's some lovely filth down here. Oh! How d'you do? ARTHUR: How do you do, good lady? I am Arthur, King of the Britons. Whose castle is that? WOMAN: King of the who? ARTHUR: The Britons. WOMAN: Who are the Britons? ARTHUR: Well, we all are. We are all Britons, and I am your king. WOMAN: I didn't know we had a king. I thought we were an autonomous collective. DENNIS: You're fooling yourself. We're living in a dictatorship: a self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes-- WOMAN: Oh, there you go bringing class into it again. DENNIS: That's what it's all about. If only people would hear of-- ARTHUR: Please! Please, good people. I am in haste. Who lives in that castle? WOMAN: No one lives there. ARTHUR: Then who is your lord? WOMAN: We don't have a lord. ARTHUR: What? DENNIS: I told you. We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week,... ARTHUR: Yes. DENNIS: ...but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting... ARTHUR: Yes, I see. DENNIS: ...by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs,... ARTHUR: Be quiet! DENNIS: ...but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more major-- ARTHUR: Be quiet! I order you to be quiet! WOMAN: Order, eh? Who does he think he is? Heh. ARTHUR: I am your king! WOMAN: Well, I didn't vote for you. ARTHUR: You don't vote for kings. WOMAN: Well, how did you become King, then? ARTHUR: The Lady of the Lake,... [angels sing] ...her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water signifying by Divine Providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. [singing stops] That is why I am your king! DENNIS: Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony. ARTHUR: Be quiet! DENNIS: Well, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you! ARTHUR: Shut up! DENNIS: I mean, if I went 'round saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away! ARTHUR: Shut up, will you? Shut up! DENNIS: Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system. ARTHUR: Shut up! DENNIS: Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help! Help! I'm being repressed! ARTHUR: Bloody peasant! DENNIS: Oh, what a give-away. Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? That's what I'm on about. Did you see him repressing me? You saw it, didn't you? ---- You can quote practically the whole movie.. you might as well just pick out favorite scenes instead of favorite lines.

Chumbawumba - Her Majesty (it's a reworked version of the Beatles' song, and it is indeed awesome) Her majesty's a pretty nice girl, But she doesn't have a lot to say Her majesty's a pretty nice girl, But she changes from day to day I wanna tell her that I love her a lot, But I gotta get a belly full of wine Her majesty's a pretty nice girl, Someday I'm gonna make her mine, oh yeah Someday I'm gonna make her mine Her majesty's a pretty nice girl, But she never does a thing for me Her majesty's a pretty nice girl, But she keeps the worst company All the lords and the ladies in waiting, All crawling in the dirt like swine Her majesty's a pretty nice girl, But I hope she's the end of the line, oh yeah I hope she's the end of the line Her majesty's living in a land of curtsies, A world of bluish blood and Nazis, yeah Her majesty's a pretty nice girl, But I think she ought to call it a day Her majesty's a pretty nice girl, Without one good reason to stay I'd like to take her for a whiskey or two, But I've got a lot of things to do Her majesty's a throwaway song, Just short of a chorus or two, oh yeah Short of a chorus or two A world of corgies and inbreeding The royal corpse is barely breathing Her majesty's a pretty nice girl With a circus for the family Her majesty's a pretty nice girl But she's stuck with the royal We I'd like to show her around the center of town But I haven't got a carpet for her feet Her majesty's a pretty nice girl But she's pretty much obsolete, oh yeah She's pretty much obsolete

Yea, I heard that was good.

She wasn't naturally that skinny. She had to lose weight before entering modelling, I'm pretty sure. I'd say that her (former) weight says something about her discipline (or chain-smoking, heh).. but anyway, it's her body; she can do whatever she wants with it. Who knows? She could be gaining weight for a role. P.S. She's still beautiful. I've always loved her cheekbones and lips.. not even considering her curves.

You underestimate the tardiness of the legal system.

Finished Hamlet. Loved it. Now onto "Things Fall Apart," "A People's History of the United States," and a Latin textbook.

Just look at the avatar, I guess.

Shakespeare quotes... Hamlet: ROSENCRANTZ: My most dear lord! HAMLET: My excellent good friends! How dost thou, Guildenstern? Ah, Rosencrantz! Good lads, how do ye both? ROSENCRANTZ: As the indifferent children of the earth. GUILDENSTERN: Happy, in that we are not over-happy; On fortune's cap we are not the very button. HAMLET: Nor the soles of her shoe? ROSENCRANTZ: Neither, my lord. HAMLET: Then you live about her waist, or in the middle of her favours? GUILDENSTERN: 'Faith, her privates we. HAMLET: In the secret parts of fortune? O, most true; she is a strumpet. What's the news? ROSENCRANTZ: None, my lord, but that the world's grown honest. HAMLET: Then is doomsday near: but your news is not true... (lots of double entendres, heh.. and he says that Lady Luck is a whore) ... LORD POLONIUS: Do you know me, my lord? HAMLET: Excellent well; you are a fishmonger. (he's saying that Polonius is pimping his own daughter.. heh heh) ---- Shakespeare plays are actually pretty dirty. Later on in productions of them, they sort of cleaned them up a bit and left out the naughty parts.

More Aubade + Others.

It puts a shitload of strain on the servers, though. I mean.. one person won't really matter, but if every visitor to a site were to do that.. wow.

Go get some soccer shoes and drop kick his ass?

Do you have short, medium, or long hair? Medium, but it's usually short. Are you a blonde, red-head, or brunette? Brunette. Do you dye it often or leave it natural? Natural. It has natural highlights that come out throughout the summer though. You see specks of gold and light brown and all that the more I'm out in the sun. What kind of products do you use? Shampoo + conditioner, I think? Is it fine, thin, or thick? Thick as hell.. Is it naturally straight, curly, or wavy? Straight, but curly as it gets longer. How often do you cut your hair? When it gets too long. I don't have a real interval. For men, do you prefer blondes, red-heads, or brunettes? I don't like the fake dirty-blonde look. Keep it natural. Other than that, no preference.

Kasabian - Club Foot (it's the only reason I watched that Pontiac commercial...)

Just pipping to get my thread to the top, Muffin. Because I'm a whore.

Get Shorty.

Very slowly.
