Let's all shoot one camera part 4

[copake_ham]

O, Canada!

Look, let's make a deal. You can keep Bush up there in Montebello, Quebec - but you let the camera go!

Okay?

 

[bdial]

That would be a "no-brainer" swap.

 

[thebanana]

Huh?

That would be a "no-brainer" swap.

[John Bartley]

Hehehe - that would be the literal "no-brainer" as opposed to the sarcastic version?

Anyway .... it has arrived today, so this weekend I will get the deed done and send it off to the next contestant .

Art, just to be sure I don't do a boo-boo, would you please PM to me the correct name and mailing address for the next person in line?

cheers eh?

 

[Shawn Rahman]

Wow - even for those of us who are not on the list, this is getting to be some really nailbiting anticipation and reading. What number frame is the camera on?

Next in line is thebanana. No way, eh? PM sent.

Okay, this is going to be really bad....

Sunday night, while traveling back down to NYC from Copake we heard a news report on the progress of Hurricane Dean.

Apparently, it had whacked the island of St. Lucia such that the news reporter said the entire banana crop had been destroyed.

I immediately turned to my wife and sang: "Yes, we have no bananas; we have no bananas today....".

So the only remaining question is, John, will The Banana get the Camera soon, eh?

The bigger question may be what your wife's reaction was.

"Soon" .... is such a relative term ...

I promise to (i) expeditiously secure the image as previously agreed, (ii) securely package the image acquisition device, and (iii) forward said device through the services of Canada Post ... whereupon, the relativity of the word "soon" may become very apparent

cheers eh?

 

[copake_ham]

You guessed it - a groan and a look kind of like this ---> :rolleyes:

 

[John Bartley]

And it's on its way to The Banana.

cheers

Hey! Stop that! Didn't you hear the latest edict from the APUG Council of Political Correct Police? It's locker room comments like this that scream APUG is only for the straight male ... :rolleyes:

I do, in fact, have a rather large banana. Actually, I bought several of them at Safeway today. I am male and straight, they are undetermined and slightly bent.

Now, what was the topic again?

Oh yeah, the traveling camera. I'm looking forward to finding it in the mail soon. I think I will take a picture of 5 bananas on September 7th and kill two birds with one stone .

Holy cow! You ain't kidding John. What the heck? Are they delivering the mail via sled dogs or what? This is going to take months to make its way to Vancouver!

Regards, Art.

 

[Marc Akemann]

I find this all very enjoyable. The feeling of anticipation with almost everything associated with this project is, well, quite the analog experience. No instant results or immediate gratification here. This is great!

[thebanana]

The camera arrived today! I'll get my shot off and sent to the next person on the list within a day or so.

John

 

[thebanana]

It's off to Martin in Calgary today

 

[gr82bart]

Umm ... Martin? Any news yet on its arrival? Let's not keep Marc in suspense too long. LOL

Regards, Art.

 

[MartinB]

I PM'd John but should have updated the thread. The camera arrived last week and Matt (next in line) is away until the 24th. I plan to have it in the mail this week so it is in Van when Matt returns.

Actually,...I can't wait to see the results. And Art, I can understand you being just a little anxious about this 'club function', since it's your baby. Thanks for staying on top of things.

[copake_ham]

Checking back - it arrived up in the Great White North on August 22nd! Will it make it out before the snow flies? :confused:

 

[MartinB]

Nope, we already had snow last week!
