Eric: Man this is some asome SHIT as a writer myself these guys got STYLE!!!!!

in response to graffiti alley / style in progress \'05

GGP: this doesn't even look real, it's so real.

in response to Can\'t Miss Roadside Stop

GGP: this reminds me of Cherry Grove, Fire Island. lots of stuff like this in the front yards there. creepy and fun.

in response to Fairytale Frontryard

GGP: they're both pretty robotic, come to think of it. "come to mommy-robo and daddy-robo," they're saying to the little robo-pump in the lower R corner. but the little robo is scared to cross the street alone, however drab it may be be.

in response to Drab

GGP: we HATE yummy taco!!

in response to Building Slice

EvilGentleman: jeeff, Peter... Those are my favourite tacos of all. ;-)

in response to A Little Something for Ya - SPRING!

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: Certainly is. But it is rare that it get's to 100F (38c) and 95% humidity.

in response to A Little Something for Ya - SPRING!

elaine: that's drab. even the robotbuilding looks depressed

in response to Drab

a'la: The U.K. is also an island that sticks out into the Atlantic.

in response to A Little Something for Ya - SPRING!

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: I'm with you Elicar. I hate a humid summer. And living on an island that sticks out into the Atlantic makes for damp-as-a-sponge summer. (Manhattan Island and Long Island)

in response to A Little Something for Ya - SPRING!

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: I'm trying to be 50's. I like the dresses. And typefaces.

in response to Can\'t Miss Roadside Stop

Elicar: I will be complaining jeeff! I try not to complain in the winter. At least you can dress up! You can only dress down so much in the summer before you get arrested. If we will have the same summer as we did last year, I am going going to...

in response to A Little Something for Ya - SPRING!

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: Ha! Jack, you got it in one.

in response to NADIAN Beer Ad

Peter: i, for one, will not be complaining about the heat... i recently bought a giant air-conditioner, super-cheap, from a downstairs neighbor who was moving out and took a $300 loss so he didnt have to carry the thing out of his apartment, heh. that and good deals are to be...

in response to A Little Something for Ya - SPRING!

jeeff: my above comment is dedicated to everyone who's going to complain about it being too hot this summer. people, think of what you're saying!

in response to NADIAN Beer Ad

jeeff: what was the project?

in response to Perception

jeeff: i could say something about prefering a certain kind of tacos here, but i won't.

in response to Building Slice

jeeff: aw man, i thought the heart was my tag. now i have to think of a new one.

in response to Love Graf Tree (Zelkova Carpinifolia)

jack: actually i know that tree. originally 267 years ago there were four trees all clustered together and a terrible storm was brewing (much like this story in my head) and the trees started to worry saying, "oh my, will we be blown away from our roots, what can we...

in response to Love Graf Tree (Zelkova Carpinifolia)

Elicar: Remind me of this...I visited San Antonio in 1991 and took the riverboat ride. hotx.com/rb/rbtour-j/cs05snix.html

in response to Building Slice

jack: italian taco - take an un-cooked pizza pie in the round and place browned chopped meat (pure angus) with fried onions, peppers, and mushrooms with olive oil (extra virgin) some scrambled egg and pinoli nuts, roll up the ingrediants into the pie and bake in oven, 350 for 20 mins,...

in response to Building Slice

Elicar: I'd like to see the whole tree! It must be majestic!

in response to Love Graf Tree (Zelkova Carpinifolia)

elaine: sneak! this tree would be easier to check, being, as it is, in the middle of viccy park. location is everything, evilgengleman. i saw it from a distance with a bit of sunlight kissing it. the sunlight was gone by the time i gained the tree, but i took a LOT...

in response to Love Graf Tree (Zelkova Carpinifolia)

EvilGentleman: I wonder if my carving on the tree at the bottom of the 60-foot waterfalls in Shenandoah NP is still visible...

in response to Love Graf Tree (Zelkova Carpinifolia)

EvilGentleman: I much prefer Arab tacos

in response to Building Slice

buckwild: Thats some funny shit

in response to Ninjas Killed My Family - Need Money for Kung-Fu Lessons

Peter: yay graf trees!

EvilGentleman: Like, all that I know eh, is that you there Britishers sure seem to have yerselves a funny way of spicken' at each other, eh? Not 'tall like us 'nucks here who is spicken' de bestest type of English. We all knows it's da bestest, in'tit?

in response to Falling in Love Across The West Midlands

Peter: lol jamie! check the comments on this entry. blech! yummy taco is one of zillions of "ghetto-chinese" places that are a phenomenon in brooklyn, that though they serve cheap, fast (and often low-quality) chinese take-away, do most of their business in serving chicken wings, french fries and the like. a...

in response to Building Slice

Jamie: hoisin tacos!

in response to Building Slice

Peter: i dont recall that film well enough to remember, but i did just google this... from: nielsenhayden.com/makinglight/archives/006170.html A pup (spore?) of the Flatiron on this coast: "The Europe Hotel Corner of Powell and Alexander Street Built in 1908-09 by Angelo Calori.

elaine: in the never ending story do they use the flatiron building or a looky likey?

in response to Building Slice

Peter: omg, i am cracking up...

in response to Humboldt Park

Peter: yup, exactly like the flatiron. and, based on the shape of the plot its built on, you can see why:

in response to Building Slice

Peter:

in response to robot building

elaine: like the flat iron building?

in response to Building Slice

elaine: i WANT one

in response to Class War Sunset

elaine: look what my stalker sent me!

in response to Looking Down, Columbia Road

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: They are damn good chairs. In fact, even a 10 year old Aeron retains 70% of it's retail value.

in response to Class War Sunset

Micah: I can't get on the internet at work so I somewhat surreptitiously do things like this during my language lab instead (where I am right now). That way it's not a #complete# waste of an hour...

in response to Class War Sunset

Peter: ...or three ;)

in response to Class War Sunset

elaine: my feeling is that if you mailed ME your aeron chair you would get bought another, newer one which you could then steal for yourself. expecially if you ordered two by mistake.

in response to Class War Sunset

elaine: yeah, they got mojo.

in response to Perception

elaine: thankyouverymuch ::bows:: vaguely thought about *just* posting the first one, and then again leaving out the white, but i think i made a good decision in the end. in fact i took photos the other day but they were not as well focused as i would have liked, and ithe light...

in response to Dirty Red

EvilGentleman: Wonderful pictures. The colours in the first one help make the shot, and the reflections in the second one are quite nice as well. If only I actually knew what I was talking about...

in response to Perception

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: I was going with Jack's notion that if all people were gay, the race would die out in 100 years. Obviously, today (and in reality) people chose to have children by many means and have many different relationships. As I said, all the homosexual couples I know want kids, either...

in response to NADIAN Beer Ad

Peter: *sigh*

in response to Fuck England

WELSHY: Well as a Celtic reader to this US V'S UK debate I have to say put down the guns a second and consider. Yes America did enter the war late 1941 dec after pearl harbour however the US were providing the Uk with help in the form of lend lease,...

in response to Fuck England

Micah: Lots of his gum paintings remind me of Hundertwasser, with all the colours and swirls and things (though no spirals); also in his intent to beautify things which might not be inherently beautiful. Fun! And such dedication!

in response to Ben\'s Chewing Gum Art

Jamie: first one is the moneyshot. would make a lovely desktop wallpaper imo

in response to Dirty Red

Biff: Actually that's not true, there are lots of Gay parents. Some out and some not.

in response to NADIAN Beer Ad

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: wow! eye-popping color!

in response to So Fresh and So Spring, Spring

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: Of course we'll still be here in 100 years (ignoring the probability that we'll extinct ourselves in other ways). There will still be men and women, even if they prefer their own sex for relationships, the desire to have familes will still be strong. Gay couples often want children. All...

in response to NADIAN Beer Ad

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: I actually bring pens to work. But I am working on a master plan to steal my Aeron chair. I'm thinking of taking it apart and mailing it to myself. Or waiting until Halloween, throwing a sheet over it and pretending it's a fat kid trick or treating. My favorite...

in response to Class War Sunset

Peter: i also like that first one of the met's glass curtain-wall. i didnt see you take that one yesterday... infallibly, every summer, while their wives peruse the art, dirty old european tourists gather on the other side of that mirrored glass and spy on the bikini-clad sunbathers on the adjacent grassy...

in response to Dirty Red

jack: think about it, if we were all gay there would be no one here in 100 years.

in response to NADIAN Beer Ad

jack: the zoo, the boathouse, the water fountain, the arches where tyrone power kissed kim novak, the beautiful kim novak. and yes, she is the greatest actress of all times.

in response to Central Park, Early Spring

jack: chinese lanterns, way back when my kids were kids i had lanterns like that hanging in the patio area near the pool. nowadays everytime we have a bbq they ask for those lanterns. "hey dad, why don't you put up those lanterns?"

in response to Perception

jack: entrance in rear. opposites. to go in the front you have to enter into the rear. smart, i'll put the front of my house in the back of it and i wont have people visit and annoy me. thereby creating a restful day. also elaine...

in response to So Fresh and So Spring, Spring

Chantek: As a knitter, your stuff really strikes a cord with me. Making functional garments is great, but you've taken the 'function' out of the pieces which is part of the shock. A stop sign doesn't need to be warm...as cheesy as it sounds, seeing how you warmed the streets...

in response to Wholesome Urban Graffiti

EvilGentleman: Must have sucked. As far as chances go, that was the big one, but I guess you blew it.
