4545 and xero dlx have a love affair. It's out of control.

[Eric!]

it transcends the visual scent..can only be heard and felt. unachievable without a 15" speaker nearby

Big huge throbbing fan of 2001. I find it to be one of the great works of art in the film medium. There's so much amazing imagery, and so little dialogue. I fucking dig it.

Serious.

yahhhhh. we kinda went through this in that Fucked Upper Films (Super is fucking fanTAStic) thread. i get the scope and all, the story is very interesting...... but i never watched it 'till about 3 years ago. it took me like 5 tries and a bunch of coffee to make myself get through the whole thing. so, zero disrespect intended, but i..... don't like it. at all.

otoh, "Big Huge Throbbing Fan Of........" is SO entering my lexicon. that is a fucking AMAZING phrase. and it should enter every conversation ever. WOOF.

....... here's some weird porn........

Never saw 2001. Maybe I'll watch it tomorrow. I've got a super long attention span since I'm sick and super bored right now.

And behndy I think you and maki would get along quite nicely with this asian fetish...

[Mudfuzz]

I'll never get the whole overboard fingernail thing...

[behndy]

hurm. that's something i've pondered for years. i wouldn't call it a FETISH. like...... getting pegged? that's a fetish. wanting a grrL to dress like an 18 year version of Lisa Simpson? that's a fetish.

but i don't think my attraction to Asian grrLies is a fetish. i like a certain body type, little with smaller boobs and dark hair. that just happens to be Asian grrLs most of the time. but there's lots of other grrLs that fit into that too..... black grrLs, Eastern European grrLs, honkies with tans that didn't eat too much hormone meat growing up.......

it's just always bothered me a bit to hear "Asian Fetish". maybe i'm a little touchy since i'm a big blonde honky and that's the stereotype, but you wouldn't call somebody that ends up dating all grrLs with big boobs a fetishist.

all that means nothing. so..... yeah. whatever.

BEWBS ARE AWESOME.

FuzzyMudd'ns - and if this was Paheal of 4chan, you'd so get a "noticed the fingernails? GAY" splapping. but it's not. so i can agree with you. thems nails is RIDICULOUS.

Ok, no offense meant by it, I'll rephrase my self. Taste lol.

[warwick.hoy]

I'm about halfway through 2001 myself here. I attempted to watch it once when I was a teenager but,...yeah,...no attention span then.

As an adult I can appreciate the aesthetics and the lack of dialogue and the diabolical of HAL.

While I won't say it's my favorite movie,...it beats the hell out of the piece of shit movies that come out of Hollywierd these days; by a long shot.

[behndy]

Joey - lulz. no meng. NO offense taken. stoopid text communications and it's no emotional conent clues. was really mostly pontificating on what makes a fetish and what doesn't.

saying Asian fetish makes me wonder if you could extend it to Straight Guys Have A Pussy Fetish and Gay Doods Have A Cock Fetish.

hurm. i want me gear listed at TB to moooooove. wanna pick up das Maschine. get all Kraftwerk up in my spot. GERMANIC TECHNO ROOLZ MY ASS.

heh. was coming back from a trip to Europe. me and the mayu were there for about a month. it was super surreal, because we were in London having brunch when the towers were slammed into by planes. first i heard of it was some guy at a nearby table answereing his cell and saying, "what? with a PLANE? what happened? oh shit-gotta go" when he noticed me and he said, "i'm so sorry" before he left. very strange to have something that momentous and awful happen while i was out country.

but our last non-US stop on the way back was a transfer in Germany. they got us off the plane, walked us to a security area, separated us into a line of doods and a line of laydays then walked us past 4 people with sub machine guns slung on straps. two guys for our line, two womins for their line. they did a VERY thorough pat down. hand between the cheeks and they lifted the boys.

funny and scary part was tbey went through my carry on bag and i had a Korg Electribe with me with a baterry pack i rigged that looked super hoopty. it was a RC car battery with a weird connecter solder'd on and duct taped together. they put it on the table and glared at me. sec dood behind the counter set it next to the Electribe and said Vas Ist Das? i was like, "Drum Machine! Korg! It's from y'all people! Kraftwerk? Oons Oons Oons?" him - "turn it on"

prrrrroblem is, the thing has a row of 12 keypads on the bottom. when you power it up the first key turns red, then then first two keys turn red, then the first three.... up to 12. never noticed it sorta looked like the Predator arm bomb arming. after 4 lit him - "Turn it off! Turn it OFF!". they just said get on the plane. didna confiscate the batteries or anything.

tl;dr - heightened security in other countries is FUN!

Anyone here know of Ibis bicycles? Small'ish mtn bike/tandem/WAY cool one-off bike builder located up in Marin. Awhile back, they had a local-to-them sand-cast jewelry maker do a run of bottle openers with the Ibis logo on them...



...I've had one of these on my key-ring for years. So...I'm in the security line @ SFO waiting to board a flight to Vegas; my turn comes, I empty my pockets and dump my messenger bag (with the keys in one of the pockets) onto the belt that runs thru the x-ray machine, kick my shoes off, etc etc etc. The bag goes thru and as I'm reaching for it, one of the security gorillas says "Hold on..." and hands the bag to another gorilla, who proceeds to search thru it. I asked if there was a problem...no answer, continued search. The airport PA does final call for flight, I tell security that's my flight...still searching. About the time that I remember that there's a glass pipe in there somewhere ("...oh shit..."), gorilla finds it, barely looks at it, and digs deeper still. FINALLY, she pulls my keys out, waves them at someone else and announces to the universe in general that "IT'S ON HIS KEYS!!! I TOLD YOU IT WAS A HAND, DIDN'T I?!?" Security almost made me miss my flight 'cause they wanted to see what the hand on my keys was all about. My tax dollars at work.

[behndy]

lulz. yeah man. i bought a grenade shaped pouch to put on my key rig last time i was in Japan. to carry an extra $20, some earbud headphones, misc stuff like a Cubase dongle ..../



but i'm an IDIOT and i get off the plane, start to pack up my DS and set my fone to be a fone and put away my headphones.... i get the grenadey pouch about halfway out of my back before i realize how asinine i'm being. shoved it back in, no one noticed. they usually don't look in my bags on the way in, so i just didn't say anything. l

what do you say though? your not even s'posed to use words like bomb, or explosive, or terrorist in the airport.

"i do NOT have a grenade in my bag-hey! stop hitting me!"

[Joe Gress]

I remember going to Japan and going through security being a pain. Got all the way to the end of the line, and he sees my bow case (upright bass bow). "Whats that?" "It's a bow case" "A BOWCASE!?!?!" (makes a bow and arrow moment with his hands) "No, a bow case" (I play an imaginary violin). "Ah, no need to be a smart ass, kid" (me quietly, WTF? I didn't even have an attitude)
