I'm not going to complain about Glenn posting random pics. It's one of the threads that I can count on for at least a few secs of distraction just about any time I visit.

The Stijn thread has been active now for 10 years. I doubt a day has gone by that someone does not post in it, and I am a regular and very rarely go a day without a post or two or maybe 15 in there. From that thread I got to know Pete and my wife and I enjoyed going to his beautiful house in Vermont. Same thing with Paul, AKA Seahawk and his great farm in MD. I got to meet Max out in Monterey, CA. I love to meet up with other Pelicans in "real life" and chat.

The Stijn thread is a Seinfeld like tread. Every topic has been discussed, and there is no more OT thread than that one.

I have been into photography since I turned 15, (only a few years ago now) and I like random pictures. I usually post 5 or 6 photos in each post. If I were a real post ho, I would do one picture per post.

I have always loved jokes and I know a million of them. The only time I ever had a room mate, he was a great joke teller as well. We stayed up late at night for weeks telling jokes, and it got to the point of being like the old joke about the prison.

A comedian goes to a prison for a life sentence. His first evening he hears a prisoner yell out a number like 52!, and the other prisoners laugh. then he hear 44, and everyone laughs, and that goes on, 122 and everyone laughs. He is really confused. As a professional comedian for years, how is just a number funny? After a while he yells out 60!, and no one laughs, and one of the big guys, says "hey that's not funny, I am gonna kick yer ass".
One of the old timers pulls him aside and explains. To pass time they all told jokes to each other. After several years, and no new prisoners coming in, they had told all the jokes a 100 times. It was just got easier to yell out the number of the jokes and and everyone knew the punchline. Joke number 60 is about the big guy's wife and now he is pissed off at you.

I own my own company, so no boss to look over my shoulder. I have three computers here in my home office. I can get one running on processing an aerial photo project, they other doing the books in QuickBooks, and the other is open to Pelican. When there is no accounting to do, the current project is processing, I can surf the internet. I usually end up here.

I still post and read a lot in the Technical forum. And the paycheck from Pelican is a nice bonus!

It’s about everything and nothing at the same time.
I used to be a regular, it’s been a long time, different job, I faded out.
First few months I felt guilty for abandoning the thread, weird.
It was a habit, but a good one.

You have to read it to participate. That rule was 4 or 5 years ago.

Yep, way back whenever the rule was to read it all first. I am one of the folks that started at the beginning, and have read every post. And made of 17K of them. You can find pictures of me at many different places over the years.

Nipple lube was discussed very carefully. As was almost every other subject ever.

That's a great ol' joke. I once heard a slightly different version...goes like this ↓

A guy goes to a prison for a life sentence. On his first evening, he hears a prisoner yell out '52' and the other prisoners all laugh. Then he hears someone yell '44', and everyone laughs again. And that goes on...'122' and everyone laughs some more. So, in an effort to blend in, he yells out '60'...but nobody laughs. What's up with that, he says.
One of the old lifers pulls him aside and explains: After several years, we've heard all the jokes a hundreds times, so it just got easier to yell out the number instead of telling the whole joke. OK then, why didn't anyone laugh at mine? Must've been the way you told it, replied the old timer.

Yea, they pay me to post, and supermodels are flirting with me all the time, worst is the local Bigfoot keeps bugging me to scratch his ears. My new free 911 GT2RS is going to be delivered any day. Yea, that’s the ticket. Sure.
