Do you hide your cameras from your wife?

[Sirius Glass]

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.

Sirius, it is seriously time for you to let go of your bitterness to your ex. You have been bitching about her for years on a PHOTOGRAPHY forum, and crowing about your trophy girl.
I was a very bitter and angry woman for a while. One of the ways my current (14 years) sweetheart impressed me was by not dissing his ex. His example helped me let go of my anger. He won out over other contenders because he was a grown up.

I also want to thank the guys who have objected to the mysogynistic remarks this thread has flushed out. I've been biting my tongue ever since it started.

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:

 

[BrianShaw]

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!

 

[Ming Rider]

I forgot to add to my list: finish up in the darkroom and some work in my woodworking shop.

I bet you're handy with power tools as well?

 

[E. von Hoegh]

Ooh, sounds like a dream come true. A women that 'only' sets light to your car when she's mad. I thought they only existed in fairy tales. Fancy dinner?

Oh, that's nothing. A buddy of mine burnt his own car.

Good grief, where do you men find these crazy women? Must be a Northern thing. Might I suggest a trip to the deep South to meet your next significant other? I have never been around women who would behave and treat their husband/boyfriend in such ways. That is awful! I'm sure there are deep phsychological issues surrounding their behavior, but we (women in the South) tend to handle things in a different manner. Don't get me wrong; when treated incorrectly, we will set your car on fire; but give us respect and love and you've never been treated so well in all your life! Southern boys so love their mamas ... and women down here tend to base husband skills on how well a man treats his Mother.

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.

 

[steven_e007]

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

 

[ToddB]

Say you found it at a Estate sale for a deal, on the way from work, and couldn't pass it up.

[DCphotos]

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:

In his 1807 Almanach des Gourmands, gastronomist Grimod de La Reynière presents his rôti sans pareil ("incomparable roast")—a bustard stuffed with a turkey, a goose, a pheasant, a chicken, a duck, a guinea fowl, a teal, a woodcock, a partridge, a plover, a lapwing, a quail, a thrush, a lark, an ortolan bunting and a garden warbler—although he states that, since similar roasts were produced by ancient Romans, the rôti sans pareil was not entirely novel.

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.

 

[Vilk]

oi, still better than having to hide your wife from a camera... be thankful!

 

[Steve Smith]

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.

 

[Old-N-Feeble]

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.

This one wins the best of thread award!!

Just to be sure. They are dead first?:eek:

Ooh, I think I gotta say that babies and cameras together do not bode well. They are curious little varmints.
