Previous Day :: Next Dayjust west of nolindia: love the turtle, swimming happily! looks like a red-ear slider. i only know that bc i bought my girlfriend a red-ear slider turtle for her birthday. also love those huge markets, reminds me of one in barcelona, and i'm sure all over europe Myke: Awesome. Tamara: I went to Ryerson in the late 90's and I've lived in the neighbourhood for more than 20 years.. I grew up here.. in the heart of it all.

In the morning, I race through Allan Gardens... GGP: the sculptor spared no effort on detail--every feather is so tactile. drea: the photo's upside down isn't it? we're looking at a reflection right? Cazy: In my own opinion being a suburb of toronto living in Barrrie Canada... i commute down to the city every day I always marvel at the sight of the great skyline we have.. if you look beyond the smog. Toronto does have a spectacular view upon the world for being... chiamattt: Here is another www.millenniumcampaign.org/ chiamattt: Here is one www.ceedweb.org/iirp/factsheet.htm anon (p54907093.dip.t-dialin.net): Hi I'm half German. I live in England and have done for 3 years. I like a lot of the people there, as you do in every country you meet good people and bad people. However, the government in England sucks. Tony Blair is a little bitch (what Irish mike... Tamara: Very true Chiamatt...
But the problem now is that even if you want to change your situation, without some support and helping hands.. it is nearly impossible. If low income families have a hard time, can we even imagine how hard it is for the homeless, who as Chiamattt mentioned earlier,... chiamattt: Some people prefer living on the street. No responsibility. Not all of course. Some people are on the street because more than a few people who do choose to work do not feel compelled to pay taxes or pressure their local members of government to spend money on shelters, hospitals,... Tamara: Say it loud, yell it from the rooftops... I understand these issues, I use to work on behalf of the Canadian Association of Foodbanks, who support over 250 foodbanks across the country.
We can never be too idealistic... as this is the only way to create adequate change in the... elaine: crikey! chiamattt: I didn't read any of this.

Now my class is doing a project and i found your web site very informative. Ill tell all my friends about it.ENJOY!!! :) Peter: its really no different than saying "i used to live on 108th street". numbering does wonders for organization, i guess! Micah: Why don't your schools have names? I have always wondered why they do that, P.S.1, 2, 3, infinity. Is it for administration purposes since there must be so many kids therefore elementary schools? But how do you say proudly, 'I went to PS 137' instead of 'I... A Proud Canadian: I think some people just go out of they're way for an argument. Elicar: As I am sitting here, quietly working, munching on Crispers as I had only an orange for lunch (ketchup flavour, don't ever get it!), I thought I'd pop by and see what is going on....
I wonder, what has happened to some people that there is so much self-loathing? Did their... BZZZP: always love it when the rays come through like that... especially good with fast-moving clouds and a good vantage point, you can see the rays trace the landscape Peter: i am indeed a cancer... i was born in july! Tyfoid Kid: Yeah it's got wheels but they're made to roll over nice kitchen tile, not sand and rough asphalt. I figured out that it's one of those things that holds those plastic trays full of cups or plates like at a buffet line or something. With the spring loaded tray... Mike: Peter, you are a fuckin' tosser......a cancer of society!!!!
I know my country is shit (England), but who the fuck are you to judge, shit face!!!
What war did your country save us from you dick, did you ever sit and listen in a history class....you cuntwadd??
I hope you choke on your... a'la: That second photo makes it look like a sinister-bot! a'la: Spit Fairy! I love your stories, Jack.

You have been warned!) www.snopes.com/photos/gruesome/decapitation.asp elaine: thanks, jack. believe me, i am not a keen fence climber. Biff: They certainly can dish... elaine: ok. i am still recovering... m0rph: Well, are they patient? Micah: They're waitstaff. The question is, can they wait? jack: can they cook? jack: sometimes i feel like the ram. but most times i feel like the eagle. but i'd rather feel like a kid again. jack: hawaii, paradise they are one in the same. jack: how did your exposition go. jack: london is my favorite place for history. i am so into the round table and knighthood. the blitz. the tower. the greatest literature, arts and comedy, so cowardesque. jack: in italy in the year of 1888, a man, a thief, went over a fence like that into the grave yard to steal any valuables he could from dead people. he would dig up a new grave and look for gold teeth or jewelry. as he was climbing... Adam: I'm with you man. jack: marc, you really love that place, don't you. jack: is this the day after tomorrow. jack: if you want to read a great book read, the kite runner. jack: some sky. neato jack: no i'm a chocolate covered cherry addict. Micah: Grange, that's a very good point, when you think about all the money donated by high-profile people to high-profile causes, when they could take some of that money and save so many lives and make those lives so much better. Dammit why are people so greedy? There's an... jack: if the time zone is different, sometimes you have an hour or two and you can make a tele payment and be on time. jack: serious correction, my son-in-law was driving and i took the pic's. i totally forgot. jack: just make sure you pass your tests, thats the important thing. Elicar: Grange, WOW! jack: we could buy that place and turn it into a jazz cafe. jack: my wife is a lunatic, she married me. grange: bay street , Like wall street in NY .I like the pics but for some reason the thought of homeless people sleeping in the streets on the weathiest street in Toronto just irks me to know end .Some of the people how have offices their include ,Ken Thompson ,Billionaire .... Peter: chia: classic story, lol... jack: good story chiamatt, grange don't be angry you have too much smarts to curse. Peter: ooh, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire... jack: wow some great trip and great writing. this my daughter must read. when in nyc check out the west village and the village cigar store. when my daughter was at nyu i would pick her up but i would go to washington square park to check out... jack: accordian complex. jack: its nice but the wonderwheel in coney is scary. Tyfoid Kid: There were 8 lines in total. Some had ramps at the end some just like a dirt strip they'd carved out of the hill. They'd yell at you to "start running" as you came in so you didn't biff on your face or back. They took us around... jack: those buildings are 100 years old. i think they made the movie dog day afternoon near there. when dog day afternoon really happened i was a few blocks away. Peter: i snapped this on a scooter-driveby! jack: how we find humanity on the downside so fascinating. its as if were saying it could be one of us and it is in many ways in the small things we do that makes us realize were at the bottom now or were lost now or this is life... jeeff: grange - huh? pat: I had never seen chalk work on bricks either...I have a few more from the same wall I'll upload very soon... Elicar: www.hartlepoolmail.co.uk/ViewArt . . . ID=1109&ArticleID=1418323
Mr. Mann is of Indian descent and is a mobile phone saleman. jack: hahaha elaine good pun. and i didn't even notice the alarm until catherine mentioned it, it blended in so well. jack: i think the angry face belongs to the body. grange: Elicar , see if you can take the pic of the statue of the two fat white guys in hats and put the homeless people in the same picture .
Fucking Bay Street assholes ....Excuse my language please... jack: ggp you took a great shot in that third pic. very artistic. you guys are making it a contest to see who takes the most photographic portraits of landscape. this is better than taking out a library book on photography. jack: yeah brooklyn kids did that when i was a kid in brooklyn also they wrote all over the streets with their chalks but the bricks were more artistic. Peter: benches have a good precident on citynoise! grange: No answer from them ...I say storm the castle , and fling dung at their houses . jack: its a bench study very well done. Peter: well, there you have it... "non-metropolitan county" and "the largest continuous area of de-industrialised land in the whole of europe"... say no more! grange: Thanks for the info folks . jack: in the army the way soldiers go over barbed wire is that one or two men fall on it and the others run over their backs and over the wire. its rough on the guys on the wire but then again they are left behind while the rest of... grange: if there going to arrest people for their choice of music . Then lets start with Shania Twian /Celion Dion listeners ... I think their up to something ... Jamie: The North Eastern conurbation of Teeside? Redneck? Backwood? never! heh Catherine Penfold-Waxman:
another little sparrow trying to keep warm grange: yes , very cool. Too bad eagles dont take down big prey , they eat mostly fish and are scavengers.. Now if the ram was dead and they were fighting over it .. Something of a fancyfull work , creepy though in the dark i bet . Micah: All that snow has arrived in Moncton (most definitely in Canada), and it picked up a lot of water on the way. It's a good thing I brought a change of pants today cos I was soaked by the passing cars before I was even half-way to campus. ... Catherine Penfold-Waxman: I love that trippy statue at St John the Divine. We used to go to V &T pizza opposite and I'd always have an Alice in Wonderland moment with the statue. grange: Kind of a cross between Mayan art and and space pod .....Yikes!!!!!!! the aliens are backkkkkkkkkkk elaine: he definitely does have an anxious look. jack: looks like stone steps in the back. very interesting. Catherine Penfold-Waxman: He also looks like he's wringing his hands anxiously. Peter: also: i love how your shot is all gray and rainy. perfect... Peter: wtf?! thats totally goth. that totally beats out the weird statue at The Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine, which i thought was really creepy... til i saw this one.
more info www.centralpark2000.com/database/eagles_prey.html jack: very interesting pic's. you went out on a limb for us, literally. we thank you but it was a little dangerous for you to do that. i've never seen the st. lawrence river or ice flows that big. and the damage, just because of high winds. Peter: mmm, hazelnut... i love rocher... www.rocherusa.com and peanut m&ms.
nuts and chocolate! Micah: I always thought he was saying dumplings! Peter: wow, what an outstanding photo! jeeff:
it's the result of a pair of weird little offshoots at a bend in the road. i don't know why the city planners would have added these, or why they decided to give them a streetsign, or why they didn't give them different names. a mystery wrapped inside... jack: is that a crown heights basketball hoop kinda thing. Peter: geez. considering that i just finished reading fahrenheit 451 this morning, im totally ripe for some good alienating, dystopian news fodder... thanks sine.
so... is Durham Tees Valley Airport in some redneck/back-woods part of the uk or something, or was this cabbie just an ignorant asshole?
and, for real... he must have... jack: believe it or not it is a garage. i have a similar pic of my cousins old home driveway and garage. the blue is fab and neato. jack: i love those buns. my favorite thing with a cup of starbucks. jack: drea very nice, i have the same tree next to my kitchen and in the fall everyting becomes red in the house. jack: the pic in the oval frame is interesting. is it your grandparents? noone: i hate to see hour long pieces gone over with 10 second bombs... i hit 95 up with 3 huge ass murals, took me like 3 hours, gone over with minute rollers. not to worry, some one will pay...hehehe jack: thank you peter. thank you. oh, the red shoes. yes the red shoes, oh thank you peter. next time drop the coat and put on a face. elaine: absolutely... i took this at the time, too. less docco and more arty farty for ya;
jack: it looks like a retirement community built with good old american money. many older people can enjoy the lush life in israel it is beautiful there. many people work here and retire in foreign countries. now me, i'd love to move to tuscany and have an olive... elaine: i believe that the word 'graft' for 'work' comes from this time.
of course it was built for the romans by the locals - to keep themselves out Micah: There is hope! boohoo: coolie ppls ive been in nyc its not the best place to go or live but it rocks out loud!!!! Peter: i bet that after another rainstorm or two, itll be ripe for the empty reference repeat thread :) elaine: it's quite sensitively done. unlike stonehenge which is virtually imprisoned. elaine: great links p! Peter: thats really great that its accessable. i like how the road just runs right up beside it. if it were here in america, theyd have it surrounded by a fence, cluttered with signs and plaques and have guards checking you for bombs if you came within 25' of it...
id love... Micah: I did one of those too, a short one like Peter did I guess, and fun! But the scariest thing I have ever done was a mock-jump off a tower. All you have to do is step off the platform and the line attached to your harness will... jack: tyfoid that was a good one, very funny. elaine: catherine, he does look lonely, doesn't he. my view is he is lost and is waiting for his GREAT BIG MUMMY AND DADDY to come and get him! now THAT would be a photo opportunity. Peter: awesome find, elaine! i like it. and i knew you had posted this just by reading the title, heh.

www.londonist.com/archives/2005/ . . . 05/11/londonist_stalk.php jack: im glad im not old man winter! elaine: no, jeeff, i don't think that was in the paolozzi headspace, it was more a style thing images.google.co.uk/images?q=edu . . . &hl=en&btnG=Search+Images jack: catherine it makes me want to sing, i like new york in june, how about you, see this is what new yorkers love springtime. of course, they love fall also, autumn in new york and yes , christmas in new york is a great time. so we love... jeeff: i almost thought that was one of those space invaders mosaics. elaine: they don't need to be trained to be afraid of middle eastern people, this is the thing about moral panic, create a climate of fear and just watch it multiply. it's like a virus. Micah: M&Ms are ok but Smarties are yummier. I don't mean American Smarties (Rockets) but Canadian ones, like M&Ms but better. Milkier chocolate, for starters... jack: my attachment is to nathans in coney. and their greasy, oily, delicious fries and franks. then walk on the boardwalk ( not broadwalk ) and eat them while smelling the salty air and listening to the surf pound the beach. of course the shore along the jersey... elaine: yeah. it would be a good walk to go round it. it pretty much looks like it does here, obviously what is left of it is kept intact, but you can go right up to it and touch it. jeeff: wow, beautiful. elaine: what a thing to discover going on in the secret garden Catherine Penfold-Waxman: Naughty robot, out after dark. What if the villagers come and burn it? Peter: that looks awesome! ive done a zipline before, but it was much, much shorter than this one, and not very high off the ground... (plus, you crashed into a tree at the end if you werent careful, heh!)
what did you do when you got to the end of the line? jeeff: what's inscribed on the side? a plan of the surrounding area? Micah: Awesome! I love old buildings and things, I love thinking about the people who were alive when that wall was built and what they did, how they used it, what their lives were like, etc. Brilliant! Are there more still-intact bits? jack: elaine is correct it is mass hysteria but then again it was racial profiling. are the taxi drivers being trained to be suspicious of mideastern people. my thought is if this guy got through all the detections before boarding why would his choice of music be questionable? ... drea: Yeah i know...5 green babies..like I said..my friend's weird. I agree with you groovehouse, I prefer the original colours. These came from a package of M&Ms Star Wars promo. Either way, still chocolate..yum!! ian: How is this relevant to this site? jeeff: ok let me make this as clear as possible.
I AM SAYING THAT THE PHOTOS ARE A HOAX. this is a a proven fact. read the comments. elaine: it may be time to break out the tinfoil hats Elicar: Be careful...be vvvvverrry careful! elaine: careful, now. Catherine Penfold-Waxman:
question answered. an impossible child: hehehe i like that :P elaine: fear? mass hysteria? moral panic? anyone? anyone??? help! help! Catherine Penfold-Waxman: 5 green babies? Catherine Penfold-Waxman: Strewth! What the feck is happening? How ignorant do you have to be to condemn someone for their choice of very mainstream music? These days, London Calling or The Immigrant song is hardly revolutionary (and I LOVE the Clash, btw). Jello Biaffra was right. Last scream of the missing neighbors. elaine: yup - feel the fear! Tyfoid Kid: That taxi driver must have really good ears. Most of Immigrant Song is pretty hard to understand unless you know the words. He probably didn't like his tip so he thought "I'll show this guy." Myke: lol@ fire up the ovens. Deary me. Rankin: I agree with you vato, i too hate them muthafuckin' crabs. The other day they put a gun to my uncle asking for money i saw how they ran and i had my ak 47 with me ready to blow'em niggas. I swear if see a muthafuckin' puto get near... Jamie: it's implied terrorism Micheal - Australia: I was a teenager during the hunger strikes and took the side of the hand I was delt. I have had time to reflect and investigate with an open mind and no matter how you look at it you cannot deny the bravery and determination and not withstanding the selfless... seximami4u9@hotmail.com: i really like the first painting....keep it up
amor seximami4u9@hotmail.com: i think that the grafitti should stay it kind of adds flavor to the place, i mean some people just go out thee to look at the art work
ADR
360
amor seximami4u9@hotmail.com: i like the grafitti , i feel in a way that every single photo in itself is telling story. i feel that it's saying something to the person looking at it, not one specific thing but whatever you make it out to be.
amor b......: actually i think that it's better without so much writing because then it let's you come up with your own ideas and come to your own conclusions...
elaine: and
GGP: Beyond inanane.
I miss the Clash!
GGP: nonspecific warnings of nonspecific threats--welcome to our world! GGP: that one flake (lower left) was acquiring wings, it seems.
snow's all gone now. you'd never know it happened. a family secret. ????: funny your able to admite it attracts such wankers as u seem to be one yourself love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EvilGentleman: I want a car like that. It would make finding a parking spot downtown a lot easier. Do they come with remote-controlled retractable rope ladders? And pigeon-protective paint? Wow, and my mechanic could do his work out of a 20th floor office window, so long as he does not drop... EvilGentleman: It just goes to show how much racial profiling has become the norm, although it is not supposed to be this way. I am assuming that since Mr Mann's given name was Harraj, that he was of "non-European, non-Christian extract", and thus liable to be a suspect.
When will this... vz: duly noted. elaine: looks like it could be... but with more salt erosion elaine: not boring. fab. i don't remember seeing these before. elaine: cheer up, punkin, with technology as it it, we can all have soft green muppet fur. i'd like that better than a trout mouth and silicon tits. elaine: arrested for having good taste in music! yikes! Jamie: isn't it just. i'm glad i don't look "a bit foreign" Jamie:
it looks like a dirty ceiling tile Jamie: girlfight! Jamie: last night i dreamt i was in new york and someone stole my scooter Oscar: "Never, ever, ever get close to bear cubs." You see it written everywhere, on NP maps, on tourist guides, on TV shows... yet some people actually went under the tree, as you say to take pictures. It's too bad the mother wasn't around to teach them a good lesson...
Shenandoah... joey: did i see mary poppins? groovehouse: I prefer the original colors. GGP: this is your brain (and spinal cord) on weather. GGP: intrusive chocolate images--yay! Cassandra: I would just like to say, you may be trying to prove something about it not existing but in fact. It did exist, why? Because it just so happened to have torn up my uncle's farm, the skys were litterally black and green. This is no hoax, it was real.... joey: pillow fights Pat: it does remind me of some other "little" world somewhere way back in time. Thanks for the great feedback! Pat: I'm new here...what is the "adorn robot"? Pat: great light...I like the alarm box shadow, too. Pat: thanks for all the great feedback! I will be uploading more pics later this week...now I have to watch "Lost"! Pat: Wow a comparison to Andrew Wyeth! How nice thanks...
that would need to be one big sweater! Hi Maxcine...you can see what I've been doing the past few months! I will come by and knit again... Elicar: I guess we are not in the same wavelength Tamara. Note that both letters in the "IS" are in caps. I did not say that Toronto IS IN Canada.
I shall say no mre.....
chiamattt: I woke up one night during my final year of highschool because I heard someone running up and down the side of my house. I went upstairs and looked out my window to see a guy walking around my backyard. When he opened the shed I ran downstairs grabbed my... Cameo: And a balloon angioplasty for your heart! Cameo: Mmmmm chocolate! drea: The first picture is GREAT! Previous Day :: Next Day |
