Grondy, when I read your post I laughed so long and hard that my son had to tell me to be quiet, because he could not read his book. I was distracting him too much. lol

I knew it!!! Grandpappy Earendil told me NEVER trust a dwarf :-P he was right

i was in five minutes ago, I never use the name Ross.

Now would I ever say something like that?

*gimli walks in with beard cinged, face black, and clothes tattered*


Aparently film is explosive when mixed with Microwaves.. Who Knew!!!

For your next trick put an egg in a microwave!

So tell us Gimli, what lesson(s) did you learn by doing this?

No Val they dont.. for just that reason.. for a while they called it Safety Film.. so you could be sure that it didn't.. but honestly.. knowing how old you are.. they havent even done that film since the 50's!!! maybe it's different over sea's.. but thats the way it is here in the states anyways... Perfectly safe now.. though.. some of the chemicals used to develop the stuff aren't that great!

You know the cool part.. one of the chemicals used to develop Slide film.. Its two clear liquids.. and when you add them together, you get Deep Purple!!!

Yes.. they definatly still use silver.... gotta love the way that black crap gets all over everything when you are processing a lot of paper and film... grrrrrrrrrrrr

but.. I love black and white printing!!

It's true, you start to hallucinate and stuff.

I once put an exhibition in for sharp. That was a 28 hour working day with no rest's, all I felt was the need for sleep.

You insomniac, Mellie. The most I've ever gone without any sleep is about 48 hours in my student days. What I tend to do now days, however, is go long periods with very little sleep (maybe 3 or 4 hours each night for a week at a time). As most people like to have 8 to 10 hours a night, 3 or 4 is not much. I do find though, that after a while I get used to this amount, and as long as I am active, I don't feel too bad.

Sleep is an important bodily function, during which time the brain is able to sort much of the information it has accumulated while awake. Physically the body needs an average of 3 to 4 hours a night to complete this process, and if you are not averaging at least this amount you should seek medical attention. It can be dangerous, particularly if you are driving etc.

Well. Let's see, getting into trouble I am good at.

You can:

1) Sling red paint everywhere, call the police, and then lay down and play dead to see what happens.

2) Put on Megadeth and then go cruising the church district OR the nursing home district.

3) Put on gospel music and then go cruising the Satanic district.

4) Go into the local pool hall and look for the biggest most intoxicated guy there (it will probably be much more interesting if he's drinkin' whisky), then whack him upside the head with your pool cue.

5) Walk into the local police station and tell them you are ready to talk about where Jimmy Hoffa is.

6) Plug up the tub and turn on the water, then go to the mall.

7) Sneak up behind your mother with a boa constrictor.

A little more G rated:

1) Write a bunch of naughty words in your diary then leave it laying open on mom's cleaning day.

2) Make paper airplanes out of the church bulletin and toss them during the choir's final song.

3) Bring a water balloon with you to school and toss it from above the principal's head.

That's about all for now. Go ahead and try some of this stuff! It's exciting and ALLLLLLLL the cool kids are doing it!

Oh, I forgot to tell you, I was about eight at the time.

I should try that Superglued quarter thing.. how long does it take to dry, I could set up my camera and remote fire the thing when people try to get it


I have to try this at The Gathering in December!!!!!
