Do you hide your cameras from your wife?

Remember that you do not have to renew your contract. Life got better when I declared myself a free agent after 24 years of service.


I do not understand it. When I mention that someone, male or female, does not have to renew their marriage contract, the men laugh and the women get angry. 'Splain it to me.:confused:
 
I don't know how one renews or doesn't renew a marriage contract that includes "till death do you part".

Maybe I should have read the fine print beforehand!

reverend fishmonger of the subgenius church harvard square clench used to offer marriage certificates with expiration dates.

As we say over here: "Ne vent krigt mor 't wuf dat'n werd es...", freely translated it is something like this: "A men only gets the wife he deserves..."

While that is not iron clad, there be in that much truth.
 
Well I hid the cameras I bought today, well one hardly matters it was only £4 /$6.40 anyway and lens-less and looks simular to one I have anyway. The problem is the whole plate camera isn't small

Silly wabbit.
Put the small cameras inside the big cameras, the big cameras inside the bigger cameras and so on. You can fit a couple hundred Minoxes inside an 11x14.
 
I've got a Century studio camera with a 5 foot bellows extension and a 10 by 12 film aperture.

In extremis I can actually hide myself in ther camera
 
Say you found it at a Estate sale for a deal, on the way from work, and couldn't pass it up.

I don't hide them, but I generally sell stuff to pay for them. Old toys out, new toys in. But I ain't tellin her how much I spent on film and accessories this month for sure.

It's a photo turducken! (chicken stuffed in a duck stuffed in a turkey - a uniquely American monstrosity for those not aware of the phenomenon).

I think people were doing that before America as you know it existed!

from the font of all knowledge, Wikipedia:

Steve- you may be correct as to the origin of the concept. The Turducken name, though, I'm fairly sure, is a late-20th century Yankee thing. No matter the origin, it's still an abomination. Kinda reminds me of one of the question cards from the Cards Against Humanity game:

"It is rumored that Vladimir Putin likes to eat _______ stuffed with _______". I've seen answers played including "The Pope" stuffed with "Altar boys", "Michael Jackson" stuffed with "the hopes and dreams of little children". Yes, it's a particularly evil game for sick and twisted minds.
 
oi, still better than having to hide your wife from a camera... be thankful!
 
Yes, I'm sure the name is American. It sounds like something from you country!

However, so does brunch but I am ashamed to admit that the origin of that one, also an abomination, is British.


Steve.
 
Nothing "new" is ever new. It's all been done before throughout the centuries. I've never eaten a Turducken and I probably never will. It might be very tasty and moist compared to birds roasted individually but I'm not likely to ever know.

I have no fear of my wife because I divorced her fifteen years ago. Thank GOD for my freedom from fear. A wife is like a Turducken... layers upon layers upon layers of confusing... WHAT?? We eat and eat and eat and eat... to no end of their satisfaction.
 

Yes indeed the turd***** is an abomination, as if a store-bought turkey isn't inedible enough. The only dish I'd place below the turd***** is the tofurkey. Or anything from McDonald's

E, store-bought turkeys can be quite edible. I have a number of Mexican recipes for turkey. All that I've cooked are quite pleasing.

Remember, the turkey was probably domesticated in Mexico. In the recipes I have turkey is usually cut up and cooked in water below the boil and then cooked again in a sauce, also below the boil. The sauces can be extremely complex, with as many as 50 ingredients. The trick is to cook relatively small pieces (small pieces cook more evenly than large) slowly at relatively low temperatures. Roasting isn't the best way to cook a turkey.
 
Ooh, I think I gotta say that babies and cameras together do not bode well. They are curious little varmints.
