IDS: Where can I find a falconing course?

in response to Wildlife Control Part II

Sherlock77: Hi there ksedge... I'll post here as often as I remember to, was so busy over the weekend I forgot to check back here... Did get a bunch of photos from Expo Latino, keep an eye out... There is also my photostream over at Flickr... http://www.flickr.com/photos/sherlock77/

in response to Calgary in Winter

Sherlock77: Thanks Susannah... I forgot to add that there are more photos here at this link... http://www.flickr.com/photos/sherlock77/sets/72157594241817476/ The Banana... The guy on the left (shiny helmet) is playing a robot, the guy on the right is playing a scientist, who is trying to make it hard for the robot to get...

in response to Cultural Calgary... Fringe Festival

Nairi: sticker size

in response to Come In, We\'re Cunts

Chris Erb: Are they the size of regular signs or regular sticker size?

in response to Come In, We\'re Cunts

jeeff: if you like that you should hear how cattle ranchers describe their animals: "BIO tested on Sept. 26, 2003 the rib eye of 15.8, only 3 mm of backfat and A marbling. He stands on a frame 6.3, pushed the tape to 36.5 cm for his testicles at 12 months...

in response to Pit Bull for Sell

ksedge: wow, i'm in shock. i can't believe this is actually true. they could at least build a little structure around it. or, i've heard in some places in europe they have public bathrooms with two way mirrors for walls so no one can see you but you can watch everyone...

in response to Public Urinals: Amsterdam

Teddy: Dear Mr Tyson (Director), I, as a physist student thing their wrong on Pluto. It has an atmosphere and as moon, Charon. I'm disappointed on the decision. After the questions on this, all these years, why now. All books, college film, will have to be changed. Idiots

in response to The Hayden Planetarium

anon (82-38-64-62.cable.ubr06.brad.blueyonder.co.uk): Bloody hell Gus you've brought back a few memories there. Graham Smith

in response to Barnoldswick

Cosmo: Oh god I'm laughing! Sounds like he's selling race cars or athletic equipment. =-D

in response to Pit Bull for Sell

EvilGentleman: That is a very good and very plausible scenario, Cosmo. anon - Not so sure I am always thinking, but I definitely type a lot.

in response to I Assume You\'re Not Blind

steven: its so freakin awesome

in response to Oklahoma City

steven: its so freakin awesome

in response to Oklahoma City

anon (R66a9.r.strato-dslnet.de): The church of the Open Doors' doors don't look very open, though... more an impression of a jail house.

in response to The Churches of Crown Heights

groovehouse: I dig Mr. Adickes' work! Thanks for the images.

in response to Presidential Heads

groovehouse: 15,000 while not life changing, is a very cool accomplishment! Congrats benji and congrats CITYNOISE!

in response to Small Dogs and a Tall Man

Cosmo: EG, I just realized one possible motivation for the signs on the wall: perhaps the drug store has had trouble with kids parking their bikes on the sidewalk, blocking the way for the disabled drivers. They might just be making it clear that the sidewalk there is also...

in response to I Assume You\'re Not Blind

Cosmo: Not sure how it works in Europe, but I am certain that over here in Detroit punks would urinate all over the thing, not just into the hole, thus rending the entire surface sticky and disgusting, and I would not want to get near it. Instead, I have these...

in response to Public Urinals: Amsterdam

jeeff: both prezzes appear to have had chin tucks.

in response to Presidential Heads

anon (host135.wissllp.com): You're always thinking Mr. Evil!!

in response to I Assume You\'re Not Blind

Cosmo: Yes, that was definitely an ugly moment when she posed on that gun. She earned a long-lasting reputation with that stunt.

in response to Hanoi Jane

Cosmo: Hello, aer suzuki! Yes, the design of the Bob-Lo boats is interesting. The Columbia was built in 1902 and the Ste. Claire in 1910, so I presume the design parameters are quite different from what would have guided designers of newer boats. I agree, they look like...

in response to Detroit River Transport

joey: what's with those old gas pumps in the window?

in response to Parking

joey: thanks. very nice lens flare you got in that picture

in response to In the Middle of Monument Au Fantome

joey: how did they do that? make the sparkles look like stars. very dreamy

in response to Soul Pilot

Luke: Good one, good one!

in response to How to Become a Tramp

jack: jane fonda, i remember when she went to hanoi and took pics with the vietnamese. she sat on an anti-aircraft gun pointed to the sky to shoot down american planes. she thought she was doing something to end the bloodshed but only made the vietnamese feel they were...

in response to Hanoi Jane

RobertR: for some university is like jail....

in response to University View

zoe: I just trap them and remove them...release them. Just make sure you catch the mother or it starts again next year...removed about 10 already

in response to Raccoons, Cute or Dangerous?

cybertoad: I have one somewhere - I will look for it and try to upload it tonight...

in response to In the Middle of Monument Au Fantome

chiamattt: Thanks, aer suzuki.

in response to Busan, Part One

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: I remember singing it at primary school in the late 70's.

in response to Ticky Tacky...

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: Perhaps it would have been easier to post signs of what you can do.

in response to attention warning achtung

Cardy: I knew this song! My son heard while watching Weeds" and thought it was written for the TV show. I told him it was an existing song - now I'm curious about the artist and the date. Anybody know??

in response to Ticky Tacky...

aer suzuki: cool shots, i've seen alot of ships like the one in the first photo but the other two boats are new to me...our ferries look sorta (and i mean only sort of) like 'em, but those have a weird design. they look like they'd have a hard time keeping an...

in response to Detroit River Transport

aer suzuki: beautiful pictures.

in response to Busan, Part One

aer suzuki: ...forgot to mention that fuzzytank also took a bunch of seattle photos : www.citynoise.org/author/fuzzytank

in response to Japanese Garden

aer suzuki: for the time of year it depends on what kind of weather you like. if you like having a huge grey smear hanging above your head for a sky (which i do, mostly, perversely) and you like having a constant thin drizzle pelting your face i'd say come anytime between...

in response to Japanese Garden

EvilGentleman: Hmmmm... Maybe the blind need help to operate the screen, except for the PIN, which should always remain confidential. They could still operate the ATM from the rear driver's side window. What worries me is that you Americans don't have braille on your money yet, do you? But anyways, I...

in response to I Assume You\'re Not Blind

Susannah: Either him or.....THE LORD OF THE DANCE!!!!!

in response to Heidelberg Doll House

Susannah: I'm not even getting into the fact that all of the options/responses are touch screen - no braille there,if you can't see you can enter your pin and hit enter, but not much else. Kind of random - sort of like the overkill on the handicap parking signs;}

in response to I Assume You\'re Not Blind

Susannah : The atm I'm referring to has a sign that says "for drive thru use only".

in response to I Assume You\'re Not Blind

joey: we could use a larger picture of the scene to see more of the sculpture

in response to In the Middle of Monument Au Fantome

joey: deja vu

in response to Presidential Heads

Cosmo: EG, I actually was reacting to the fact that they saw fit to put copies of the signs on the wall. Three signs on poles, three more right behind them, seemed overkill to me. But yes you are absolutely right, those bricks make my eyes hurt if I...

in response to I Assume You\'re Not Blind

EvilGentleman: Oh wait, were you referring to the drive-thru ATM's braille not being funny? My bank here in Montreal has it too. Quite handy for the blind, and remember, a drive-thru ATM can also be used as a walk-thru ATM. You don't need a vehicle to reach the buttons. In fact,...

in response to I Assume You\'re Not Blind

EvilGentleman: Um, Susannah - I think Cosmo is using the title to refer to the fact that this particular pattern of bricks is very hard on the eyes.

in response to I Assume You\'re Not Blind

jeeff: why, did you buy pants there too?

in response to Up 8th Ave

cybertoad: No, the colors phase from blue to white to blue... :)

in response to Walking the Blue Bayou

Cosmo: Spidey seems to be looking to the skies, as do some of the others...maybe it's a bird. A plane? Superman!

in response to Heidelberg Doll House

Cosmo: Thank you jethro! Now I know I'm not crazy... ;-)

in response to In the Middle of Monument Au Fantome

Susannah : I gather Spidey's senses are calling him elsewhere.

in response to Heidelberg Doll House

Susannah : Aer - I appreciate the blog spot. I don't have a place to go to like this, I wish I did. I love where I live but its a pretty densely populated, suburban town with sort of a new england feel to it (very sort of). Fall is pretty...

in response to Japanese Garden

Susannah : Not even funny - the other day I saw key pads in brail at the drive thru atm-

in response to I Assume You\'re Not Blind

joey: that explains the pilings. and the lighting is different colors throughout the month based on the phase of the moon?

in response to Walking the Blue Bayou

jethro: yes. it's called 'Monument à la Bête Debout'- Randolph Street at Clark Street in the Loop Area

in response to In the Middle of Monument Au Fantome

cybertoad: Joey - yes, it is under the freeways - I believe this is 45... the trail is alongside the Wortham Theayer, across the bayou. The blue lights are on according to the phases of the moon.

in response to Walking the Blue Bayou

EvilGentleman: I know the program sucks, that was the whole point.

in response to Busan, Part Three

WTF: You shouldn't have used the translating program! it sucks!! but it's kinda funny though... 당신은 번역기를 사용하지 말았어야 했다. 그것은 핥는다!! 그러나 그것은 재미있음에도 불구하다...

in response to Busan, Part Three

slinkybender: I feel like someone is stalking me.

in response to Up 8th Ave

Cosmo: Yeah, Flint was dealt a terrible blow by the forces Moore relates in his movie. As with most towns around here, the only cure is to break free of the automotive addiction. Michigan is trying to join the modern age, but unfortunately if new technology and knowledge isn't...
