You (picture thread): XIV

[Cristo Meyers]

Uncle Crissy should stick me in the suitcase next time he takes a vacation.


I'm not sure who I'd have more trouble explaining that to: customs or LadyMeyers :smalltongue:

[Serpentine]

Hm. Now I've got a song in my head...
"I've noticed you around.
I find you very attractive.
Would you- ummm...
Would you go to bed with me?
didiDOODEEDOO DOO DEE DOO didiDOODEEDOO DOO DEE DOO"

[Exeson]

You're something in the viscinity of 16, aren't you :smallsigh:

Me? Aye, although 17 in 14 days.

Although strangely I think I was in better shape when I was 14-15 than I am now. :smalleek: I have been pretty ill for the last few months or so coupled with being banned from the mat by my coach and my doctor for the last three weeks because I have several injuries that need some time to heal.

I hate not being allowed onto the mat. I get all fidgety and highly strung... :smallfrown:

[Coidzor]

perhaps there is some form of disciplined exercise that you can still do without aggravating your wounds that would help ameloriate such feelings?

In any event, you seem to still be in better shape than the majority of americans, so there's that in your favor. :smalltongue:

[Serpentine]

Me? Aye, although 17 in 14 days.I knew it :smallannoyed: :smallsigh:

[Dihan]

I knew it :smallannoyed: :smallsigh:

Aww.

It's good enough for me, though. :smalltongue:

[Anuan]

I feel completely unattractive and unappreciated :smalltongue:

[Coidzor]

I knew it :smallannoyed: :smallsigh:

Ahh give it a few years and then you can just become a cougar by being allowed to lust after legal people :smalltongue:


I feel completely unattractive and unappreciated :smalltongue:

Well, we all know anything we say would just be a preface to when Rabbs shows up. :smallwink:

[Thufir]

Yeah, that's right, I have two fobwatches AND a Dormouse in a Teapot.

*Is jealous*
Awesome costume you have there.

Owie - sunburn much? I feel your pain...my back is buuuuuuurned right now.

Considering damning society's norms, buying a kimono, and wearing that until this gets better.

Rabbit is gonna FREAK.

[Anuan]

I showed her my hat when it was first made. She squee'd. Rabbit's bad at giving me comments on my photos :p

[Serpentine]

Ahh give it a few years and then you can just become a cougar by being allowed to lust after legal people :smalltongue:I'm not entirely sure what you were trying to say, but I feel like I should tell you that in Australia you're "legal" at 16.

[Exeson]

I'm not entirely sure what you were trying to say, but I feel like I should tell you that in Australia you're "legal" at 16.

Same in the UK. So what exactly is the problem with me being almost 17??


perhaps there is some form of disciplined exercise that you can still do without aggravating your wounds that would help ameloriate such feelings?

But disciplined exercise is boring. I had a weights program for about a week, and then I just stopped cause I got bored out of my mind, I need some sort of stimulus to keep me going, at least on the mat I'm fighting people and my brain is kept busy. Hopefully I will be back on the mat on Saturday, doubt it but I might as well try.

Plus there is little exercise that I can think of that does not involve my shins, left knee, groin, two or three of my right ribs and my neck. :smalltongue:


Also, seeing as this thread is pretty much about appearance I need the playground's opinion. Hopefully if I get my act together over the summer I'm going to dye my hair. Now what I want to know is which colour would be better: Electric Blue or Purple?

[Serpentine]

Cuz it seems like most of the guys I think're particularly attractive turn out to be about 16. According to that equation thingy, my 'creepy cut-off" is 18.

Both! Purple at the bottom, electric blue on the tips! :smallbiggrin:

[Rawhide]

Now what I want to know is which colour would be better: Electric Blue or Purple?

Electric Blue of course (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xYQBTwP3t0)

[Anuan]

Awesome costume. :smallcool:

I own everything I'm wearing but the jacket and the shoes. Shoes were borrowed from my ex. Jacket was borrowed from a costume store. Hat was made of cardboard.
I want that jacket back ;-;

[loopy]

Hey there all, its that time again. Time for gratuitous photos of me!

This one was taken at the big Transmission rave at Sydney on Saturday, the lovely girl next to me is my friend Helsie. She got me on raves, cigarettes, pills, and pretty much everything else that is bad for me. I love her to bits. :smallbiggrin:

Gemma and Helsie are both very, very nice.

The bright orange vest you're wearing though, just...
It's too bright, seems out of place.
What are you doing in my world of dark colours and noble deeds with your bright colours and less-than-noble ones?
It's like... mine isn't the only mindset in the world. that blows my aforementioned mind.

((Disclaimer: I'm pretty sure Loopy knows I'm chidin'.))

No one expects the brightly coloured one to be the bad guy. :smallbiggrin:

Its amazing how much I can get away with. Have to say it was fun walking through Sydney Central station at 8pm the next day, red eyed, smelling like cigarette smoke and marijuana, and still smiling.

I don't care if people look at me strangely, I have a good time regardless. :smallsmile:

Wow. Took me a while to find this one. I had thought that my friend had gotten a snap of me, but I was wrong. So I searched the Interwebs for a long while, and finally found a snap that a passerby took.

I just have a flair for fighting dirty. Quick wits and high mobility win me more fights than my strength says I should. Of course, I also count it as a win if I don't have to fight at all. :smallbiggrin:

[Thanatos 51-50]

That's because knives, daggers, swords, and other melee weaponry are all awesome.
I'm a big fan of knives and daggers, especially. Close in blades are very comfortable. Like tonfa. Tonfa are comfortable.

I also agree with Loopy's sentiment above.

[Exeson]

My greatest weapon is the fact that I can run the 400m in under a minute. Or I used to be able to anyway, I haven't run track in about a year.

[mangosta71]

I like weapons that I can hide while they're in my hand. Like a good dagger that sits on the natural incurve of my fingers with the blade tucked up against the underside of my arm.

[loopy]

My greatest weapon is the fact that I can run the 400m in under a minute. Or I used to be able to anyway, I haven't run track in about a year.

My greatest weapon is my words. I've been sent to threaten people before and they've ended up not only heeding my advice but thinking I'm an absolutely amazing person for helping them out. :smallbiggrin:

Interesting. Nice job on the pillow. :smallbiggrin:

V: Maybe there are spring-operated, beat-stick activated blades for slicing as the beatstick is pulled away/drawn across the body.

Or maybe it's some other kind of tonfa. Or maybe just that tonfa are for really close-in fighting and there's a fighting style that is blade and tonfa.x.x

Edit: That I know of: me, RabbitHoleLost, FredtheFighter, Cycoris, The Rose Dragon, and you.

I don't know whether I should be happy that you consistently remember the definite article in my name or sad that you consistently forget to include me in every single list other than this one ever.

I feel so unremarkable.

Maybe it's because of pictures like this (http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2390/184/97/611331541/n611331541_1932569_6090883.jpg).

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why you don't give your mothers a digital camera (unless they do this for a living).

And this (http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2390/184/97/611331541/n611331541_1932669_7863195.jpg)... wait, my mom's in there, too. Who took that picture? Where am I looking? Also, why does my hair look so good?

There are a few things that scare me (or at least used to).
My main fears are failure and disapointing the people I care about.
I also used to have a fear of spiders and a fear of the undead. I'm over those fears now.
I have slight acrophobia, the fear of heights. There's something about going splat that scares me. But I'm okay as long as I'm not in an open-topped airbourne vehicle (e.g. I'm fine in an aeroplane, but I wouldn't go near a Hot-air balloon).

I have a very memorable voice. It's extremely deep, and I have a lisp where I can't pronounce the letter "r". I used to be so annoyed at it, but I'm ok now that my voice is so deep. Puberty ftw.A lisp is specifically when you can't pronounce "s" properly. Isn't it? Maybe you're thinking of just "speech impediment". I still have a bit of a lisp - my tongue goes out the side of my mouth when I say "s" rather than staying inside the front teeth, as in normal speech, or out the front, as in normal lisps. I think it's mostly gone, now, though it does come back sometimes.

Hmm... Fears... Could be a toughy. Lets see...

It has 8 legs, doesn't that make it a spider? :smallconfused:
Either way, I'm more scared of daddy long legs then spiders. :smalltongue:

[Serpentine]

That's... pretty weird :smalltongue: They practically rule my house. And there is contention over whether they are actually spiders. Something to do with them having a penis or somesuch. But in any case, they are completely and utterly harmless to humans. Also, they're meant to eat poisonous spiders like redback spiders or something like that. I'll check...
edit: Here we go.

If the spider continues to feel harassed it will retreat into a corner or drop from its web, and leave the harasser alone... Certain species of these seemingly benign spiders invade webs of other spiders and eat the host, the eggs or the prey. In some cases the spider vibrates the web of other spiders, mimicking the struggle of trapped prey to lure the host of the web closer. Pholcids are natural predators of the Tegenaria species, and are known to attack and eat redback spiders and huntsman spiders [2][3]. It is this competition that helps keep Tegenaria populations in check, which may be advantageous to humans who live in regions with dense hobo spider populations... There is an urban legend stating that daddy long-legs spiders have the most potent venom of any spider, but that their chelicerae (fangs) are either too small or too weak to puncture human skin; the same legend is also repeated of the harvestman and crane fly, also called "daddy long-legs" in some locales. Indeed, pholcid spiders do have a short fang structure (called uncate). However, brown recluse spiders also have uncate fang structure, but are able to deliver medically significant bites. Either pholcid venom is not toxic to humans or there is a musculature difference between the two arachnids, with recluses, being hunting spiders, possessing stronger muscles for fang penetration. [5]

In 2004, the Discovery Channel show MythBusters set out to test the daddy long-legs myth (Season 1, Episode 13 "Buried in Concrete"). After measuring the spider's fangs at approximately 0.25 mm (average human skin thickness varies from about 0.5mm to 4mm), the show's host was apparently bitten, although the bite produced little more than a mild short-lived burning sensation. This appears to confirm the suspicion that pholcids can penetrate human skin, but that their venom is practically harmless to humans. Additionally, recent research by Alan Van Dyke has shown that pholcid venom is actually relatively weak in its effects on insects as well.[6].

According to the University of California at Riverside, the daddy long-legs spider has never harmed a human and there is no evidence that they are venomous to humans.[7]That's what I'd be referring to as "daddy longlegs", and what that picture looked like to me. Oh, and they are definitely spiders. The Harvestman is the not-quite-a-spider, but not for the whole penis thing.

I also think the Americans use the nick name "Daddy-Long-Leg" for a slightly different animal the the Brits do. We give the name to the insect I posted first (Belongs to the mosquito family, no?) and whenever I talk to an American about them, they seem to call these (http://www.jimstonefreelance.com/photos/daddy%20long%20legs.jpg) Daddy-Long-Legs.

That spider doesn't look to be as big as the ones that were in the place we were staying in Belgium.

Those spiders were AWESOME. :smallbiggrin: They were too big for me to fit entirely cupped between two hands to throw them out (everyone was screaming about them and I was the only person who could deal with spiders. can't deal with moths and wasps though. >.<). Real awesome hunting spiders. And fast...

It's not the bigs ones you have to watch out for. It's the tiny ones that can sneak into anywhere and wait in your bed. They're the poisonous ones. :smallamused::smalltongue:

Many people would argue that your fears are part of what make you you :smallcool: that's the philosophy I've been playing on in proposing the fear-pictures. Speaking of which, I demand contributions from moar people.

[Coidzor]

Fears: ...Simply put... I don't much like arthropods. Read on at your own boredom/disgust

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3152/2921377386_911ea1303d.jpgWell, I had nightmares about being turned into some kind of arthropoid or half arthropoid creature (ala driders for example) against my will and possibly while defenseless and sleeping and possibly by my blankets/sheets themselves transforming around me. This even before ever having heard of/seen "The Fly"(I think that's the title anyway) or even having played Starcraft where it basically happens to one of the main characters. Though seeing both of those did aggravate it... and growing up and dealing with the fear each time it tried to take hold has helped me get it to the point where if it does come I don't wake up screaming or anything...

But I still still sit up/wake up in the middle of the night and be disturbed deeply to the core of my being and have the need to look around to see if anything's wrong before being able to settle down. Other times I'll just imagine small ticks/spiders climbing over my body several times(augmented/encouraged by the presence of cats which I'm allergic to and the sensation of a cat hair irritating my skin is somewhat similar to the feeling of being crawled on/bitten...

I simply do not like dealing with arthropods and the idea of touching them is abhorrent, to the point where I can't stand being anywhere near shrimp that have not been decapitated and had their legs removed. I'll kill spiders as necessary to not have them nearby when I'm trying to use the restroom/shower or something, but I generally prefer not to kill 'em as well. Some things like flies and ants just annoy me, but whenever I accidentally expose a colony or ants (by say, lifting up a rock that's sunk into the soil partially) the sight of their white larval forms revolts me.

Well, my sleep-deprived state resulted in my delving far too deep into my own psyche for comfort....x.x

Also, I'm disappointed due to the fact my father hasn't uploaded our vacation trip photos from the camera/his harddrive yet.... or I'd be sharing some horrors with ya'll... y'all? hmm...x.x

Okay, that's fine, but if you want to talk about fears please make a new topic instead of derailing this one.

It's Australia. Everything is a lot more extreme.
In Australia, bees are 50ft tall with singers the size of the Big Ben Tower! :smallbiggrin:Sorry to disappoint you guys, but this was actually in England. Native Australian bees mostly don't have stings, are often teeny-tiny (at least, most of the ones I've seen are), and can look something like this:

The aborigines got quite a shock when the stinging European bees came along, I can tell you...

SDF: I'd be along the same lines, but we are still talking about ourselves... And if you're gonna get all hoity-toity about it (kidding, honest! :smalltongue:), maybe you should get us back on track with a picture yourself, eh? :smalltongue:

It's just an (ridonkulously huge north Queensland) orb weaver. Surely you've seen lots of (smaller) them? :smallconfused:

Okay, I'm sorry ODP but my first thought was 'Wow, he looks like Tom Cruise but less maniacal!'

[OverdrivePrime]

Okay, I'm sorry ODP but my first thought was 'Wow, he looks like Tom Cruise but less maniacal!'

Much to my dismay, I get compared to that demented little man all the time. The jury is out on whether this is better or worse than getting compared to Hugh Grant. Creepy celebrity guy or Scumbag celebrity guy. :smalleek:

[mercurymaline]

Okay, I'm sorry ODP but my first thought was 'Wow, he looks like Tom Cruise but less maniacal!'

Agreed. Sorry, Overdrive.


Also, I'd jump on the bandwagon, but I don't think a pic of my biggest fear would be forum appropriate.

[Katrascythe]

Agreed. Sorry, Overdrive.

Biggest fear being Tom Cruise? Yeah I doubt that is forum appropriate. I'm surprised that the pic which was posted earlier wasn't removed. Although that might be because it was spoilered for out sensitive eyes. XD

So everything is the opposite in Australia. :smalleek:

[Anuan]

She means a 'spider eating -A- bird,' Nameless.
A duck flew into a very large Orbweaver's web and was hungrily devoured over many days by the cold, uncaring arachnid.
Luckily it died fairly early on, because it would have been a terrible fate to have to live through days of having your protein-rich body turned into liquid deliciousness for mister Orbweaver to suck down through his mandibles.

Remember; you're never more than twelve square feet away from a spider :smallwink:

[Coidzor]

Australia really is the posterchild for justifiable extinctions...

The worm song would've been cool in my opinion. :smallbiggrin:
I tried to record something of me singing (again), but it cut most of it out. So yeah, might have to start again. (For anyone who cares, I was going to sing "I'm yours" by Jason Mraz, that song is stuck in my head)

And Cassie has a very nice voice indeed. Awesomesauce points for the futurama reference though.

The pictures I've posted aren't of me, they're of my little brother and the voice recordings are his too.

How are you guys doing it?

[FdL]

I don't know how to say this to not have it sound wrong, but lately this thread seems to have lost its way. Maybe the purpose has changed or something, but the ratio of actual pictures of the playgrounders has gone down dramatically.

I probably don't have a right to say this, after all I'm just a lurker, but at best it's become a new RB with the occasional pic. I don't like a lot the idea of people posting random pics about given topics (like with "fears"), to me that's a different kind of thread. It's okay if people want to do it, but well, I liked the way it was before.

Sorry to point it out, I know people are not going to like my comment and all, but I needed to say it. Also this one is among the very few threads I still read on this board, and that might be why I don't want to lose it :/

[Ego Slayer]

Eh. Fel's got a point. Some things warrant their own threads (fears). And this isn't RB. But... you already know that. :smallsmile:
