Man! That's like the Forrest Gump of squirrels. He/she sure gets around!

My short squirrel outburst was inspired by the movie "Up". This is just 39 seconds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBWrMQVsuak

Is it wrong that I feel somewhat left out that I don't have my photo taken with that squirrel?

What's worse is that I saw you standing stock still with your nose pointing to the squirrel even before the explanation....

Sheila, you'll have to take that up with Lisa.

Oh Camera

Oh camera!
We know not where you are!
Photographic tool, we know you can't be far

With hopeful hearts we see thee rise,
Trav'ling camera strong and free

From far and wide
Oh camera, we stand on watch for thee.

Please keep our stuff, all in one piece!
Oh camera, we stand on watch for thee.

Oh camera, we stand on watch for theeeeeeeeee!

(My sincere apologies to any Canadiens offended by this.)

Gee, I miss the Gong Show...

I was thinking Canada Post sent it from Victoria to Seattle (a 100 mile jog) via the Flying Dutchman.

 

[Síle]

LMAO

Marc your talented is just plain wasted here.. you should be on the silver screen.. or have a Saturday night show with Steve Martin!
Others might suggest men in white coats with those special jackets.. you know the ones with sleeves that go all the way..

But I would never say such a thing...

Beautifully sang by the way.. you're in fine voice, perhaps you should drink coffee more often

 

[Marc Akemann]

Thanks Sheila! Sometimes, when I'm bored, I break into song.

Fred was right, though. I would have been 'gonged' in under 5 notes.

Just passing the time away.

Marc, your singing worked! Your singing worked! Camera just blew in. Will shoot this weekend and send it on it's way!!

 

[Marc Akemann]

Yeaa! Thankfully, you (and others) didn't have to actually hear it. That would have been bad. Very bad.

Glad the camera is moving again!

Marc

 

[flatulent1]

Good heavens, don't encourage him!

 

[Síle]

Good heavens, don't encourage him!

I'm waiting for the mp3... Or you could sing into skype Marc and I'll record it.. We'll make a fortune!

And in other news excellent to hear camera is moving...

 

[Marc Akemann]

Good heavens, don't encourage him!

Fred, you're comment was the inspiration behind the new lyrics, I hope you know.

Or perhaps pronouncing it "Oh Camera"...?

Marc

 

[flatulent1]

Lord, don't remind me...

I just ran across Dead Link Removed interesting article on the rokkorfiles site. They did their own 'round the world bit in a year and a half.

 

[lmn]

I'm trying (with little success) to adopt a vegetarian diet. Determined as I was that no innocent poultry would be sacrificed on my behalf, I am pleased to say the camera was mailed off this afternoon. Fred, it should reach you by tomorrow!

Bring on Camera 7!!!

Lisa

ps- Martin...thank you!

 

[Síle]

Boo yeeeaah...

Great news Lisa.. we and a million chickens thank you!
Oh Flatulent1 it's over to you...

 

[flatulent1]

Jeez, now I gotta think of something to shoot...

 

[MattKing]

Jeez, now I gotta think of something to shoot...

I know, it caught you off guard ...

(there was a url link here which no longer exists)

If there is colour film in the Sure Shot, there is always:

Just trying to be helpful, from up north off the end of the I5 .

 

[flatulent1]

You see? You see? I was anticipating 16 months, and here it is in only nine!

I was just up in the Skagit Valley two weeks ago, the weather was glorious, the daffodil fields were a blaze of yellow and white, and all I had was a folder with HP5+... Looks now like we're finally getting our winter storm. Oh, the irony... :rolleyes:

 

[flatulent1]

The camera has arrived! (insert theme music from the first Rocky movie here)

Holy cow Flatulentman that was fast!!
Did Lisa deliver it herself by jet pack?

That's great news.. let's hope it's also a good omen!

 

[flatulent1]

She lives less than ten miles from me.

 

[lmn]

Yay! And for as long as the kids and I stood in line at the post office yesterday, the Kenmore camera exchange would have been the better idea. Ah well, next round.

Glad it reached you!
