Haha, the nachos and hot chocolate was in the hallway, the movie was in my room, because I have a huuuuge computer monitor and a desktop. The only person with a bigger screen is the guy 3 doors down who has a legit huuuuge tv screen. That or try and hook your laptop up to the tv in the common room...

Re: You! (A picture/Media thread) Thread XXXI: Roman Numerals Make Everything Fancy
Yeah, hopefully I'll never have to suffer anything like it during my lifetime.
Backyards and urban areas as a whole tend to be warmer than the countryside, but yes, perhaps it could work.
Naww, I was enjoying it...

Re: You! (A picture/Media thread) Thread XXXI: Roman Numerals Make Everything Fancy
'twould be quite the coincidence if they were natural formations. No, definitely placed upright on purpose. I believe they're somewhere in the vicinity of the age of Stonehenge, and there's some very attractive shapes in the stones (one I took a photo of but didn't post here I think vaguely resembles a naked woman).
Heheh, that'd be neat. I think you'd like it here: in the last, say, two days I've seen scores of king parrots, crimson rosellas, bower birds, black cockatoos, white cockatoos, magpies, currawongs, ravens and kookaburras.The Iron Avatarist Hall of Fame!

Re: You! (A picture/Media thread) Thread XXXI: Roman Numerals Make Everything Fancy
Extrapolating from my knowledge of other sites...
The Avenue likely served as a ceremonial track way from the site at Avebury to another prehistoric site, a place referred to as The Sanctuary.
Ultimately, Avebury served a ritual site, and people would come up the Avenue to the circles located there and perform ceremonies. Perhaps to appease gods or as ancestor worship. There is always the chance that Avebury was used as a sort of cemetary and the dead were carried up the Avenue as a symbolic last journey.Mauve Shirt, Savannah, Gnomish Wanderer, Cuthalion and Smuchmuch get cookies for making me avatars.

Thanks for telling me about all of it. It rekindles my dreams.

The pictures are dad's, btw. We get some beautiful sunsets from time to time.
Well the stones are fascinating. One more reason to get my butt over to England.
Birds, birds, birds! I love it! So this many beautiful birds are usually just chilling around where you live?
Neat. Thanks.

Re: You! (A picture/Media thread) Thread XXXI: Roman Numerals Make Everything Fancy
They do in the UK. Although, granted, almost every person who had a carpeted bathroom tended to say "ugh, it's awful, why would they do that? I can't wait until I can afford to get it ripped up!" or something to that effect.
They are very cool, and worth seeing.
Yes and no. I was just in another town for the weekend, going on bushwalks, so we were well away from where I'm living at the moment. Bower birds, in particular, you can really only find out in the bush, but we saw two males and a female hanging about the picnic areas (if you leave something blue out for them, often the males will take it back for their bower). On the other hand, black cockatoos, magpies, crows, eagles, kookaburras and often white cockatoos, king parrots and rosellas are common sights around here (and everywhere, really). My mum and her husband set themselves a challenge to see how many distinct bird species they could spot within a defined area (more or less the headland at one end of the beach, the sand dunes and around their house, down to iirc the surf club half-way down the other end of the beach). They got to 150ish.
You want I should post the pictures of birds I got this weekend?
No, that was pretty much what it said on the sign at Sanctuary (and I'd forgotten that was what it was called).The Iron Avatarist Hall of Fame!

Re: You! (A picture/Media thread) Thread XXXI: Roman Numerals Make Everything Fancy
So, I've got a request for the pictures of the bunkers in the bunker graveyard (as we call it) in Denmark, which we visited during our trip to Germany this summer. I've also snuck a picture from the bunker museum we visited earlier that day into the lot:
SpoilerFirst the picture from the bunker museum, taken from one of the shell rooms for the huge German coastal gun that once stood there. I just love how it looks like littlest brother has been stuffed into the artillery shell:
Me and my brothers comparing rocks we found on the beach:
In case you ever feel like taking the order to dig in a bit too seriously:
Authentic German grafitti. At least, that's what I like to think (although I see no reason to believe otherwise:
I'm still haven't figured out what way mum is connected to the Matrix, but there has to be some connection, right? Also, that bunker to the right is interesting. It's the same as the one in the picture with me and my brothers, and between those doors is just a straight tunnel open to both sides, with doors leading into a few side rooms. The interesting part is that in a small room behind one of those rooms, it was so dark that despite it being only ~140 cm wide, I could hide from and scare littlest brother as he entered, whereafter I then managed to jump past him as he tried to exact revenge upon me without him even managing to touch me:
I actually walked down there to inspect how it looked beyond the corner. There's a small hatch to the side through which great amounts of water was pouring in with each wave, and the waves themselves made a magnificent sound in those crammed compartments. The water was uncomfortably cold, however:
Me playing with a little insect I found among the sand:
A good overview of a part of the beach:
The bunkers had a lot of differing sizes. Here's one of the smallest and largest in the same picture:
Don't read too much into it, the number of comments is a poor gauge of an image's worth. Sometimes, people just feel like talking about something else, or nothing all, or just space out for a few days, and the conversation moves on.
The first image I ever posted here got three comments (which still is pretty good, I gather). I posted it in the Random Banter thread a bit later for some reason or another (I think we were talking about fleece jackets, and I was wearing one in the picture), and they wouldn't talk about anything else for two pages! ()
Also, I think people actually are more prone to comment on a picture if it's taken in an interesting surrounding, or has an interesting story, or just is plain silly/weird in overall.
Also, when you only post pictures with several people in them, it kind of helps if you point out who's you in them so that we won't have to search through all images for the common divisor (i.e. the only person who's represented in all of them). This is especially important for those who post for the first time, but even regulars should do it every now and then to help any newcomers. After all, it's kind of hard to compliment you for your good looks if we don't know who you are in the pictures.Clouddreamer Teddy by me, high above the world, far beyond its matters...

Re: You! (A picture/Media thread) Thread XXXI: Roman Numerals Make Everything Fancy
Wow Teddy, those are so weird (in the older sense of the word). You probably already said, but what's the story behind them?
I found a way-cool photo of my parents back in their uni days.
The reason I found that photo is because all the family hard-copy photo albums are at my mum's, where I'm staying now. I was talking to her about scanning them into my computer so we have electronic copies of a bunch of them.SpoilerWhy yes, my parents were cooler than you. Thanks for noticing.
So. Who wants to see baby-Serpy pictures?Last edited by Serpentine; 2012-09-24 at 11:57 PM.

Teddy, those are /awesome/. Pictures of my bunkers aren't very interesting form the outside, and it's too dark inside, so you'll just have to come over here.

Our destination: Bald Rock.

Pfff. What exactly is wrong with English sunshine?
Liked the birdy pictures though. EDIT: How effective is the deadly, deadly neurotoxin of that "cute little spider" in your hand?

*hugs*
If you're the one I think you are, then you are rather handsome.
Brazilian people almost all look exotic to me.
They're only what, about 70 years old? - but something about them seems ineffably alien and ancient. They have weathered beautifully. I would go bananas exploring them.
I wonder how long that concrete can survive its exposure to brine and wind? I'd love to see that site in 100 more years.
Your dad is smoking hot
Did you used to play MUSH games, out of curiosity? That's the only other venue I've seen people put /emphasis/ on words with slashes like that.
I do love them! I do!
Your nature gallery is titillating. It amazes me how mountains can be so different -- Bald Mountain is an entirely different kind of rock and biome than the mountains I visited in August. Also, your family is cute. :3
Thank you also for the bird service. Those kookaburras especially look like they badly need kisses on their fluff. All of them are just begging to be cuddled, really.
