**pic thread** -- you in a funny place

[SallyMander]

Like the title says -- you in a funny/unusual place. Because i wanted an excuse to post this photo of me in a truck full of soybeans. :-)

[Ptah]

1. I've never been in a funny place.

Well, there was that one time

[Dangerously Amused]

4. Ha ha, every time I see that pic I think of "Little Shop of Horrors."

Hey ptah!

How tall was that thing anyway?


:hi:

[Ptah]

12. It ended up being twelve feet tall, and quite the looker.

[Dangerously Amused]

18. Wow.

That flower head must have been like two feet across.

Incredible!

[puerco-bellies]

56. Really nice picture Ptah

Love that Southwestern sky.

[SallyMander]

6. LOL

that's amazing!!!

[Ptah]

13. And then some.

[intheflow]

36. I knew the second I saw that

which photo you were in the process of setting up! :rofl: :hi:

[Ptah]

47. Aw, shucks

:blush: :looks down: :kicks gravel:

[qnr]

2. Well, you sure look like you're having fun.

Here, someone had donated a beat-up dog house to us while we were living in Oklahoma for a bit, I'd just finished working on it and was testing something out on the inside.

Edit: The house wasn't for Alinak, he lived indoors, it was mostly a place for some local strays that liked to hang out in our yard with Al to shelter during the thunderstorms.

[SallyMander]

11. are you sure you weren't in trouble?

in the doghouse, quite literally? ;-)

[qnr]

14. Sweet, innocent little old me, in trouble? {cough} n/t

[Dangerously Amused]

3. Old prostitutes never die...

...they just go to work in Bea's kitchen:





Speaking of prostitutes, who's that skanky chick in the pic?!?


:7

[SallyMander]

9. this pic just made me laugh so hard

that my fiance asked what i was looking at... that is PRICELESS!!!

[Dangerously Amused]

15. Hee hee! We were driving by and started cracking up in the car.

I made the driver pull over so we could snap a pic. :7

[Ptah]

20. .

[Dangerously Amused]

31. That's quite a mug ya got there, son.

:toast:

[Ptah]

49. And my face ain't too bad either

[Dangerously Amused]

108. Your face is gentle and sweet.

I have been meaning to ask, are you the little guy in that cute pic you occasionally post of the kid with his fingers in his ears?

[Indi Guy]

45. I knew that ho's could get into

pickles & jams; but pies & gifts???

[Dangerously Amused]

96. Yeah, I'd be pretty leery about any ho "gifts."

:hi:

[Indi Guy]

48. BTW You do a great Vanna White eom

[Dangerously Amused]

98. Thank you.

I've been working especially hard on my vowel movements.

[ashling]

66. Weren't you on ThePrice Is Right? Wheel of Fortune?

Love that picture. The pose is perfect.

[Dangerously Amused]

101. Ha ha, thanks.

I descend from a long line of hams, and tend to be drawn to those people socially, so there's usually abundant goofing around wherever I'm at. Shoo, I don't even show you guys some of my crazier pics. :7


:hi:

[Guava Jelly]

68. Now thats a Brothel i want to visit..Yowza!

You are a cutiepie llama lady :D
:hi:

[Dangerously Amused]

105. It is a clever marketing angle, no?

Regardless of whether Bea is selling the product or the service. Although knowing that shifty 'ol Bea, I suspect that one business is but a front for the other. Ha! That Bea... always selling herself as a "paragon of virtue." Who knew?





Hey, I'll take "cutiepie" over "ho pie" any day. Thanks! BTW, you are looking mighty fine yourself these days. And just who IS that on your undies in the pic downthread anyway??


:hi:

[Guava Jelly]

132. Bea as in Brothel

Homer Simpson undies fyi..And they were a little big on me.
And Thank you D_A for the compliment.
I have yet to see one of you that wasn't just Dreamy :hi:

[seemunkee]

76. Wonder if they're related?

My buddy when we were in Utah.

[SallyMander]

83. another one, no way!!!

Those hos are great in the kitchen i guess! ;-)

[Dangerously Amused]

106. Ha ha, it's a franchise!

:rofl:

[QueenOfCalifornia]

97. I wonder what kind of

"gifts" you can buy that are "ho-made?"

[Dangerously Amused]

107. I know.

I don't really want to think about that too much, either.


:scared:

[avrdream]

157. heh! That picture is fantastic.

"Ho-made"............priceless, baby.

[Dangerously Amused]

164. It was good of them to put the sign near the road.

I'll bet I'm not the only giggling person to jump out of the car for a pic like that. :7

[Hand]

171. ...

[Dangerously Amused]

172. You know, there's a joke to be made here.

Something about basting one's meat in ho sauce...

[Dangerously Amused]

5. Cool pic, Soybean Queen! :D

So what brought you to frolic in a truckfulla soybeans anyway?

[SallyMander]

10. My fiance's uncle is a farmer

We went to visit during the harvest that year, so i got to ride in the combine (that thing is HUGE!!!). I was encouraged to climb up in this truck... then about 30 seconds after this picture was taken, Uncle Scott cruised up in the combine and dumped soybeans on my head. I was picking them out of my hair/clothes all day! :rofl:

(Definitely a new experience for a "city girl" from Boston!)

[Dangerously Amused]

17. That is so funny, that they dumped the soybeans on you!

And even cooler that you were such a good sport about it. I'll bet you scored mega "cool-girl" points with the fam that day.

BTW, you have a fabulous smile.


:hi:

[SallyMander]

19. Aww, thanks

:blush:

It was actually the first time i went "back home" with him -- so i met many new family members with soybeans in my hair, LOL!

[Ava]

7. only pic of me in a "silly place"

me and my best friend having a fight on the beach at night... the sand proved to be a problem.


:rofl:

[SallyMander]

21. I miss the beach!

Looks like you guys were having fun :-)

When i was younger my sister and i would have "seaweed fights" where we'd huck clumps of seaweed at each other... gross but fun!

[Ava]

153. oh we had sand all in our hair!

it was hilarious :rofl:

my uncle was taking pics and we were just being goofballs

[DarkTirade]

72. Last time I walked on a beach at night

I accidentally stepped on a ghost crab. Not sure who was more startled, it or me. :)

[Ava]

154. awww! poor crab

i love to go crab hunting at night(of course we don't kill any of them). it's so fun to watch the crabs run across the beach at night and you can catch little ones and hold them without them pinching you.

[DarkTirade]

156. Wait... are you calling me fat? :P

The minute I realized it wasn't a rock and it was moving I stepped back, so I didn't hurt it or anything. But I still started the hell out of it... and it startled me back. I'm just glad it scuttled away instead of trying to nip at my toes. :)

[ironflange]

8. Me and my daughter at the world's largest perogy

[SallyMander]

22. where is that?

hilarious that they have it fenced in too... wouldn't want the perogy to escape!!! ;-)

[ironflange]

43. Glendon, Alberta

Some say that from one particular angle, the thing looks more like. . . uh. . . well, just think of Britney getting out of her car.

edit: Looking at the pic again, I think I can see. . . never mind. :(

[u4ic]

23. How long did it take you to scarf it down?

:P




Hiya! Snowed in yet? :D :hi:

[ironflange]

42. Hey! Where ya been?

No snow, smartass. Well, there was a little on the ground at Highwood Pass last weekend; we had a great campout at Mt. Kidd.

And it took about 20 minutes.

[u4ic]

155. I've been pretty busy

the past 2 months and might have stopped by once or twice in that time. Not much chance to do so, really. Life, ya know. :)

It slows down a bit after this weekend, and I'm glad.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. Here I am....can you spot me? In Berlin, last summer!

[SallyMander]

24. what a neat picture!

Like "Where's Waldo" :-)

Edited to add: is that a ceiling, or the side of a building? Hard to tell with all those crazy reflections!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

28. My dear SallyMander!

You know, I don't know if I ever figured that one out!

I just happened to look up, and I was so intrigued with what I saw that I knew I had to take a picture of it!

Thank you....:hug:

[qnr]

25. It's so hard to tell! I hate when people take photos with shoe-cams... :) n/t

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. My dear qnr!

Shoe-cam? Hardly!

I'll have you know this is from my digital Nikon D50 SLR!



:rofl:

[qnr]

32. Heheh, yeah, I saw you with it :) just being silly because of all the shoes in the photo

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

27. I just love this picture, Peggy.

I remember when you first shared it with us.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. You are a sweetheart, my dear SeattleGirl...

I'm feeling a whole lot happier now...:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[intheflow]

38. What a great shot!

Why aren't you hanging out in the photo group? :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

40. My dear intheflow!

Oh, thank you!

I keep forgetting to go over there...

The Lounge is my home, I guess...

:hi:

[puerco-bellies]

57. I spy CaliforniaPeggy

Very cool picture. I think this is the first time I've seen it.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

62. My dear puerco-bellies!

This is one of my pics from my summer vacation earlier this year!

We were in Berlin, and I just happened to look up, and this is what I saw!

Glad you like it, sweetie! :hug:

[XemaSab]

26. ZOMG!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

33. My dear Xema!

This is a very cool pic!

Where were you?

:hi:

[XemaSab]

34. Mt St Helens

*TOTALLY* worth a trip.

That is a look of sheer bliss I am wearing. :D

[CaliforniaPeggy]

37. I've actually been there...

Since the blast too...

It was amazing in a horrible sort of way...

I mean, the mountain was so damn gorgeous before...

And now? Well...not nearly so beautiful, alas...

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

:hi:

[XemaSab]

39. I have somewhat of an over-appreciation for vulcanology

I didn't see it before, but I sure liked it after! :D

[DarkTirade]

95. You study the most logical race in the galaxy? :P

[swag]

145. I love it up there

and I love the hiking trails around there.

Breathtaking.

And the Ape Cave lava tubes are nearby too!

[intheflow]

35. Me, in sun glasses.

Literally!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

41. My dear intheflow!

Now this is damn clever!

Methinks you're professional, hmmm?

Very nice indeed!

:hi:

And do YOU post in the Photo Group?

[ironflange]

44. Hi Peggy!

I'm glad to see that you seem to have learned to control your language! :rofl:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

46. My dear ironflange!

Don't tempt me, sweetie!

:evilgrin:

[intheflow]

51. Actually, that shot is about 10 years old.

It was taken well within my first year of doing photography. I've done professional photography since, but back then, this was just a lucky self-portrait.

And yes, I hang out in the photo group. I've even won the contest once or twice! Not entering in this month's contest, though. The theme is "Spooky," and spooky just isn't my style. This is about as close to spooky as I get, I guess. :shrug:

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

50. me in a couple unusual places

me in a phonebooth in edinburgh



me above this barley thing at the heineken factory in amsterdam

[SallyMander]

78. Neat shots!

Is that barley container sunk in the floor, or did you climb up on it?

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

161. it's on the floor below us

there's glass cut into the floor above so you can see down :)

[Lautremont]

52. Me in Cuba:

[SallyMander]

115. great eyes!

looks like a nice cafe... what brought you to Cuba?

[Lautremont]

124. A 737, I think (ha ha!)

It was a real spur-of-the-moment thing - a friend was going there and was looking for travel companions, so I went along. It was an incredibly cheap vacation, and really amazing. Havana is a stunning place.

[PittPoliSci]

53. ASTROLAND!

[SallyMander]

79. LOL

love the expression on your face -- looks like you didn't get the best weather though!

[PittPoliSci]

142. the weather was strange.

it was a light drizzle, enough to drive away the crowds, but not ruin the day. so i had a blast.

[Dangerously Amused]

129. ruh roh!

[puerco-bellies]

54. Here's a couple

Me dancing with the ten sacred clowns of the Zuni.



This is 3/4's up the south rim of the Grand Canyon during last years North rim to South rim crossing. I developed a bloody nose in the 112 degree heat. Thankfully it was a "dry" 112 f-ing degrees.

[SallyMander]

80. you've got moves! :-)

how long did you take to cross the Canyon? I'd love to do that someday... i've only ever stood at the top and peered down. What a spectacular area!

[puerco-bellies]

103. One day from the top of the north rim

We left at first light, down the North Kiabab trail. Dinner and a bunk at phantom ranch that night. Up the bright angel trail the next day. OY!

It was great to have a meal waiting for you at Phantom Ranch. We only had to carry water and salty/sweet snacks (for electrolyte balance) Get reservations during the spring or fall. The heat is LETHAL, during the summer.

[Dangerously Amused]

119. Love the pic of you dancing. :D

[puerco-bellies]

128. Fortunately no members of the Zuni tribe were there that moment.

They are quite serious when it comes to defending their culture, especially from a member of the apache nation (me).
I was in the Zuni artist co-op looking for crow fetishes and one of the counter persons asked me if I was in the crow clan (Zuni).

I answered no that I was apache and it was just like when the saloon piano stops playing in old western movies. Everyone stopped for a second and just froze, then life went on. For a moment there I thought I was in trouble. Long memories in the West.

[Heidi]

55. Me, with my head in a scanner.

:P

[puerco-bellies]

58. That is a spooky cool picture.

Why did your face remain in the shadow?

[Heidi]

59. I have no idea. That's just the way it turned out.

Maybe it's because I have a big nose and big lips? :shrug:

[puerco-bellies]

60. Cute too.

I mean that on a observational manner only least Alison wake up and well, let's not think of those things..
:-)

[Heidi]

61. Hahahahahaha!

I think your Alison is a beautiful woman. You done good, friend. :thumbsup:

:hug:

[puerco-bellies]

63. I am incredibly lucky and undeserving..

But I'll take the good fortune of finding love unquestionably, and without reservation.

[Heidi]

64. Same here, except

I wouldn't say I'm undeserving. :rofl: :spray:

[Guava Jelly]

69. thud

good morning Hottie um i mean Heidi :D

[Heidi]

70. Mornin', sweetie.

Soooooooooooo good to see you! :hug:

I wish you a beautiful Friday, friend! :loveya:

[Guava Jelly]

71. You as well

:D I am off today and have to get my truck switched over to Missouri so that should be a blast :sarcasm:
I hope Hubby and Kitty Are well :loveya:

[Heidi]

74. We're hoping for a very quiet Friday and weekend

after yesterday's kitty adventures: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x7045129

Good luck with changing your truck registration. That has never gone quickly for me, unfortunately. :hug: :loveya:

[Guava Jelly]

75. A happy ending

YAY!!
I would die if i lost any of my Kittys well except Obie (kidding of course)

[Oeditpus Rex]

65. How 'bout the port waist gun of a B-17?

On second thought... nah, nothin' funny about war.

:patriot:

[SallyMander]

81. that can fall into the "unusual" category

i know i've never been there!

:patriot:

[Dangerously Amused]

109. But the "war" association isn't what makes the photo great.

It's the "Oedi having fun and acting like a little kid" part that makes it adorable.


:loveya:

[Oeditpus Rex]

135. Little kid, hell!

You can't send a kid up in a crate like that. :spank:

[krispos42]

136. I was in one of those...

And a B-24 Liberator the same day.

Cool!

[Oeditpus Rex]

141. Collings Foundation?

Same here. The -17 was "Nine O Nine" and the -24 was "Witchcraft."

They had a B-25, too — "Tondelayo." But you couldn't go inside. Too small, I reckon.

The -17's nose:

[krispos42]

143. Argh! Dont' remember!

It was back in 1993. I was 17. I recall they were both olive drab, though.

I'd look for the picture, but it's in a box full of pictures, many of which are from when I was married.

I don't think I want to go there yet.

[Oeditpus Rex]

144. Maybe this'll jog your memory

without having to trip over your personal history.

http://www.collingsfoundation.org/menu.htm

Note that in 1993, the B-24 "Witchcraft" was designated either "All-American" or "Dragon and his Tail."

[Guava Jelly]

67. Here is one from a few years back..

In front of Bob Marley's in orlando
me in my underwear with some fat guy :) (also needing a haircut)
great picture.Reminds me of this lady a little

[SallyMander]

82. awww

:blush:

she is WAY pretty! Thanks for the comparison :-)

Is that a restaurant? Looks like a fun scene!

[Guava Jelly]

90. Yes it was

And the food was wonderful.
It was Universal studios Orlando.

[DarkTirade]

89. Nah, you don't look that much like her...

oh, you mean the OP, not you... :P

[Guava Jelly]

91. I don't?

sniff sniff :rofl:

[DarkTirade]

73. Me at the Portland weekend market thingie...

wearing a funny mask.



I wish I still had a link to the one where somebody welded a bunch of silverware into a weird set of goggles/glasses... that was a funny pic. :)

[SallyMander]

84. hee hee

is that some kind of bird? Looks crow-ish... very nice :-)

[DarkTirade]

88. Yeah, it was a raven or crow.

I also have a pic of me with a Green Man mask from the same booth. I think I've posted that one here before sometime. :)



and another from a few hours after that... or maybe it was before. I don't remember. Same day, that's all I remember.



We were popping dandelion heads off at each other, and I grabbed one and put it behind my ear to be all hippie-like.

[mikeytherat]

77. The top of my head, directly behind Bo Derek.

Seriously:


My band was playing a benefit in D.C. Met Bo, Sam Donaldson (three or four sheets to the wind), Michael Jordan, and Quincy Jones (who really seemed to dig the band!).

mikey_the_rat

[SallyMander]

85. very cool!

do you play in DC regularly? My sister lives there, and we're planning to visit sometime... it would be cool to see a fellow DUer play!

[QueenOfCalifornia]

99. She is in our

neighborhood often - she does some odd-ball show that I don't even understand why it's on the air -- she is a crazy-assed republican and I would like to smack her in the head.

[malta blue]

86. On the floor at the Library of Congress...

[SallyMander]

114. you have a pretty smile!

That's a great pic. :-)

[Burma Jones]

87. Me, at a Coffee Plantation in Costa Rica

[DarkTirade]

93. ... is that just an innocent hug,

or is there something more going on between you and that coffee tree?

[Burma Jones]

104. My Wife took the picture....kinky.....

[DarkTirade]

169. Now I'm feeling a little jealous... :)

[WolverineDG]

92. Me last month

Just outside Ciruena, Spain along the Camino Frances. There was this cool pilgrim rest area complete with concrete "couches" to lie on.



dg

[SallyMander]

117. hmm, concrete couches

doesn't sound like the BEST choice of material... but you look as comfy as possible ;-)

[WolverineDG]

130. At least it was something to sit on

instead of the ground. If I'd tried to do that (after walking miles & miles with a back pack) I doubt I could have gotten up again! :rofl:

Actually, the concrete was nice & cool, since the day turned out to be rather on the warm side.

dg

[bikebloke]

94. On a penny farthing (in an NZ museum)

And obviously most comfortable pedalling.

[SallyMander]

120. LOL - that's a big wheel!

i'm surprised they let you get up on that thing -- how old is it??

[bikebloke]

146. A people friendly museum in Dunedin.

They set it up, so people could pedal it while sitting in place - none too comfortable. I don't remember how old it is, but let's round it out to 100 years.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

100. I don't have any pics of me that are in a *funny* place

But maybe these are close?

Me in a freight elevator...


Me filling out my marriage license papers at the Clark County Court House... Las Vegas Nevada.

[SallyMander]

121. i love your expression in the elevator shot

like... "umm, how old and rickety is this thing???" :-)

[VenusRising]

102. Me at the Columbus Zoo Insect Fair on Monday,

It's not really a funny/unusual place, but I am holding something unusual.

[SallyMander]

122. Neat!! Is that some kind of mantis?

I didn't realize they had an insect fair, i totally would have gone!

I'm TAing an animal diversity course at OSU now. We'll be taking a field trip to the zoo on the 27th -- looking forward to it! :-)

[VenusRising]

125. It's an Australian Walking Stick.

This is a picture of a male. I was holding a female which is much thicker bodied.


The Insect Fair was Sunday and Monday. My husband is a post-doc in the entomology dept. at OSU. He and I have volunteered for the past 4 years. It's a lot of fun.

If I'd have known you were interested, I would have PMed you. :(

Have fun at the Zoo. The manatees and tigers were the highlight this year. :hi:

[SallyMander]

126. Your husband and i are probably neighbors!

I'm on the 3rd floor in EEOB. :-)

I'll definitely check out the manatees and tigers... this field trip is great, because i get to run around and do whatever i want while the students fill out their reports. Hehe.

[VenusRising]

127. Woohoo!!

That's a field trip!! :bounce::bounce::bounce:

My husband is in Aranoff.

[SallyMander]

133. yup, me too!

a.k.a. "middle of eternal construction zone" :rofl:

He has to climb one more flight of stairs than i do :-)

[VenusRising]

140. I hate that freaking construction zone.

They need to take down all that crap in front of the hospital if they are done. x(

Yep. I'm outback just about every day to pick him up. If you ever see a red CRV with Texas plates, come say hi! :hi:

[SallyMander]

158. definitely will!

same if you see a girl on a blue bicycle covered in john kerry stickers :-)

[Deja Q]

110. Well,

[Dangerously Amused]

111. Ha! I love it!

Did you photoshop that, or did some creative soul make those as art installations?

[Deja Q]

112. As with everything in life, I did it solo.

:evilgrin:

[Dangerously Amused]

113. Wait, so you photoshopped it?

Because I think it would be hilarious to actually install different scenes like that one in porta-potties, and have rows of them in various public locations.

[Deja Q]

123. The next revision is a row of 3 of them, which lead to different places...

:evilgrin:

[meegbear]

116. You must have a pretty wide stance there bud

[BarenakedLady]

118. That's so cool.

:thumbsup:

You look amazingly like my brother-in-law in that picture.

:hi:

[datasuspect]

131. the state is sending my file back to me

when i get the arrest jacket and mugshots back, i will be sure to post them.

[JuniperLea]

134. O Dear!!!

Here's me being "touched" by a couple of very famous, hard core metal musicians!!

[JuniperLea]

137. Me singing an anti-war song in a play...

[JuniperLea]

138. Me having been tricked into singing at a company Xmas party...

The big boss, billionaire Eli Broad, was front and center... no pressure! hahahahaha! I was shivering!

[JuniperLea]

139. Me with Rob Halford... another metal hero!

[Deja Q]

148. I think I know them. Weren't they arrested for being in an envelope given to Dem senators in 2002?

http://archives.cnn.com/2002/US/03/26/anthrax.investigation/

:hide:

[JuniperLea]

150. Haha!

I doubt it. More than likely it would be envelopes that play "Ace of Spades" when you open them;)

[BarenakedLady]

147. Okies!

Oooooohhhhh, you said funny place

:silly:

[Inchworm]

151. Adorable!

What did you just eat to cause that?

:silly:

[Dangerously Amused]

152. LOL!

Girl, you crack me up!

[momophile]

149. here's one of me in an unusual situation

unusual for me at least. In between Mormon missionaries while in the Peace Corps. I swear, the only reason I even agreed to let them talk to me about their religion is because of their wonderful calves (and I don't mean baby cows either).

[SallyMander]

160. that is unusual!

where were you in the peace corps?

[ElsewheresDaughter]

159. Tarven Wench

[SallyMander]

165. Lovely pic!

You can totally pull that look off! :hi:

[DarkTirade]

170. Suddenly I feel a need... a need... for mead. :)

[bridgit]

162. okie dokie, here's me in hubby's old studio...a fun place...

[SallyMander]

166. how could it not be fun

with a hat like that??? :-)

Is your husband a painter?

[bridgit]

168. multi/interdisciplinary but yeah, he paints too...

:)

[av8rdave]

163. Funny only because I won't set foot in a Wal-Mart

Clowning around on a motorcycle trip. We were in some little town in Arkansas where the Wal Mart was about the only game in town.

I'm second from the right.
