"Talkin outta turn....That's a paddlin'. Starin' at my sandals....That's a paddlin'. Paddlin' the school canoe....You better believe that's a paddlin'!" --Jasper
HEY! I'm back. Not that I was really gone, but haven't been able to post. Every time I was about to the past 2 (or maybe 3) days the phone rang and it was a friend with an emergency. First, my best friend gets into a HUGE fight with another friend. Took hours to even find out wtf happened and then try to deal with everyone. It's still going on... not sure they'll ever get along again. Then my other best friend calls, her mom got out of surgery and she wanted me to come over... The world conspired against me, keeping me crazy busy all week with work and friend and EVERYONE'S having a birthday like this week. I'm so broke. (BTW, I'm a little hyper.)
So I just saw PIRATES 2!!!!!!!!!! OMG, amazing! Not gonna spoil it but for ppl who liked the first it's a definite go see! It's even better than the first, imo anyways.
S'anyways, I have got to go to bed before this turns into a long post of nothingness. Goodnight all!
Ok, now that the shock has settled in a bit, the details. I was riding in the bike lane on Broadway, westbound. A truck (not a pickup, a larger commercial truck about 5m long) was in the rightmost vehicle lane, which was directly to my left. We were approaching an intersection, and our direction had the green light. I continued my forward direction, whilst he made a right hand turn. As soon as I noticed that he was doing this, I hit my brakes as hard as I could (thank god I keep my bike in good condition) but it was not enough nor soon enough. I made contact with the back 20% of the truck, which in its turn thankfully continued forward so that shortly I was free of the collision and instead falling directly onto the pavement below.
The truck continued onward.
I drug myself out of the street and onto the corner. From there, I used my cell phone to... wait, no I didn't. The battery was dead. Dammit!
That's ok though, because here comes some stranger in another truck, telling me that he pulled over the guy and told him that he hit me. He then offers to let me use his cellphone to call the police, which I gratiously accept. While I'm on the phone with the police, the truck driver shows up. Police say they'll be there in a few minutes.
Twenty minutes later, a pair of police cars arrive on the scene, and start taking our information. They ask if I want medical attention, and I figure that it probably wouldn't be the worst thing. I'm feeling weak and dizzy, and though I don't feel much pain, adrenaline could easily be masking the effects of any injuries I may have incurred.
Five minutes later, the paramedics arrive. Of course, they come in the form of an ambulance and firetruck, which is way more than I need. Inefficient beurasctracy for you though. They checked me out, ask me questions, and make sure I'm not about to die. Truthfully, it was the most piss poor medical attention I have ever received. They checked that I was responsive, that my blood pressure was ok, and that I didn't black out at any point. Then they left.
Over the next hour, the police officer filled out forms, and I chatted with the guy who hit me. Once that was done, he offered me and my bike a ride back to my apartment, which I accepted with many a thanks.
It wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been, but I did not come out of it unscatched. In addtion to som scrapes and scratches on my arms, hands, and legs (still baffles me how one's leg can be cut while one's jeans remain intact,) I am suffering some knee injuries. My left knee is a little sore as I move it, and I am unable to bend my right knee beyond aobut 30 degrees without a great deal of pain. Hopefully these are just temporary ailments, and I'll be better soon. Only time will tell on that though.

Ouch! Sounds like you may have some bruising tomorrow, maybe a torn knee ligament at worst. Still that sucks. You wear a helmet, yes?
As for the medical attention, that sounds pretty standard for any roadside "fall". Make sure there was no loss of consciousness, no overt bleeding or broken bones, no severe pain, normal vital signs. You probably could have insisted on seeing a doctor or something, but from what I understand of your medical system, that would have cost you. Also, keep in mind that assessment doesn't always mean "things the patient notices". They were doing more than what you saw them doing, if they were half decently trained.
I think it's good the police came. Did you get a report number or something? You may need it, if your injuries turn out to be more than just scratches and such.

This thread just isn't moving like it should. Dave, get excited about Magic, damnit! You didn't answer my thread about the 3/2 for WW, either...
Rap lyrics suck. TNT advertises this WOW 23 or whatever that has that 'Ridin' Dirty' song. No idea whatsoever what it's supposed to mean, but, it makes me think of not changing your underwear enough.
Mike, it's probably the veggie burgers that are making you sick. They're obviously disgusting and probably not healthy. Also, like most Vegetarians, it seems that your 'diet' lacks Protein. You know, the kind of Protein that is generally found in..meat.
Also, Mike, that oral joke would have been exactly at Daron's level, I'd say.
Glad that you're not more seriously injured from that bike accident, I remember awhile back(like 8 years) when an ASU student on a bike fell off of his bike into the road(or something like that, obviously that's not the important detail of the story) and a bus ran over his head(the important detail of the story). Anyway, did you get some money out of him at least? You'll probably have to buy a new bike, and there could be injurious effects that don't manifest themselves immediately. Considering the 'screening process' for becoming an EMT here, Daron, Mike probably knows more about their job than most of them do. Of course, Mike knows more about most things than most people. Except for healthy eating, apparently.
Pretty sure that we're going to see Pirates 2 tomorrow, after Serenity's birthday party. We'll let the girls see it, if they want(they like the first one alot), if not, yay for that play area at the theater.
I remember when 'my 2 friends are fighting' constituted an emergency...then at some point it becomes 'my 2 kids are trying to kill each other'.
So recently(not really, I just thought of it for some reason), I caught the end of that Anthony Hopkins movie, Titus, which is apparently based off of the Shakespearean play, Titus Andronicus(or something like that). Near the end of the movie, these 2 lordlings rape Titus' daughter. He finds out, and captures them, and..turns them into some kind of meat pie, which he then feeds to his dinner party, which includes their mother. Before anyone realizes what they're eating, they all marvel at how delicious it is. Which brings me to two points..A)I think that moral irreconciliation is probably the only reason that we don't eat dogs/cats/each other along with everything else and B)for all of his genius, Shakespeare could certainly be deranged when he wanted to.
I"m slowly getting back into paper magic, I have about 1/2 of the cards for the deck that I want to build. If anyone has any of the following for trade/sale(I'll send first, heheh), please contact me:
2 Demonfire
1 Pyroclasm(Ice Age Only)
2 Tidings(Strong preference towards something black bordered)
2 Breeding Pool
2 Shivan Reef
4 Steam Vents
3 Textless Mana Leak
1 Textless Hinder
4 Pithing Needle
4 Imaginary Pet(Strongly prefer black bordered, which is Urza's Saga, if possible)
4 Annex(ONS Only)
Damn man, I am glad you are okay. And glad the truck driver was stopped and came back, etc. Sounds like it could have been worse in SO many ways. You should keep an eye on those injuries. Customers often tell me it takes a few days before their neck starts hurting, etc. I hope it is just bruising though. Someone was watching over you ....just maybe not good enough.
I AM DRIVING AGAIN!! That's right TN: Lock up your daughters b/c the sexual T-Rex is on the loose!! Last night I bent a rim though. I had to walk home (a few miles). This is not the neighborhood you want to walk around in, so I carried some mace and had my keys in my fist, keys sticking out like Freddy Kruger. No one messed with me. Luckily I was able to hammer on the rim and get the tire bead to seal. So, it’s all good. Damn 18'' rims and low profile tires are unforgiving if you hit a curb or anything really. I am getting sick of it.
I'm sorry I am burnt-out atm. I dunno why. I know this is a great time in MTG; in Standard and Extended. But for some reason I just feel "bla" whenever I see a card. I don't know what it is but I doubt it'll last forever.
Daron - I never saw your thread, sorry. I haven't been in the CS&C area in sometime. I think a 3/2 vanilla for WW is fine though, obviously Uncommon. How many weenies can white have?
Have a great Friday Called!
PS - you know, Zig could be dead and we'd never know..

Netdecking is piloting Magic.
Homebrew is creating Magic.
Are you a pilot or a creator??
Since when did magic have anything to do with this clan? I mean I haven't thought about magic since the last prerelease and didn't even see a card during the 2005 year.
Dang Mike, that sounds horrible. I sure hate getting hit by a car. Course aparently I was at fault during my accident. Aperently it is legal to run someone over when they are riding their bike on the wrong side of the road, despite being off the road and in the dirt lot to the side of it. My fault for not crossing the buisy road for two blocks befor having to cross back. Cost me $1500 or so...ambulance convinced me to go get an X-ray and that the vehicle would pay for it.

I know I have some of that stuff on my site... I also have the Pyroclasm not listed. Those Tidings will have to be foil, right? When it first appeared (Starter) it was white bordered, just like in 9th. So... either Russian or foil.

It wasn't a thread in CS&C.... it was in a post in the Called thread, here! Have you been skipping posts! Ach! Don't do it, man! Gotta keep it real, yo. Anyway, can there really be a 3/2 for :symw:? I guess you're right... it's kind of a Watchwolf cept it dies to shock. I guess white gets Silver Knight so why not a vanilla 3/2. It could be a Lion, that'd be good flavour.
I used to be a member of this clan, "back in the day" as it were, back on mtgnews. I talked to Daron on AIM yesterday to see if The Called still exists and he pointed me here. There are only a few that I recognize from my clan days, but I figured I may as well stop in and say hello. My acronym here is just my mtgnews screenname abbreviated, so figuring out who I am shouldn't be difficult.
So anyway, I stopped in to say hello to faces old and new (Hello!) and I've done that, so that seems like the end of this post. I'm going to go wander through the rest of these message boards, and I may be back here slightly later to apply for re-entry into this most excellent of clans.
So....anyone notice Daron acting stranger and stranger? I mean I know he's out there...but...well heres a bit of our conversation....
RancoredElf: Gavin just got asked to go play outside with an older woman
RancoredElf: she's 6
SFB SPEEDY: wow....they get old quickly don't they.
RancoredElf: he's 4, and hasn't spent much time playing outside without a parent right there
RancoredElf: so I'm sitting in my office with the window cracked so I can listen for cars
RancoredElf: and the blinds open so I can see him
SFB SPEEDY: well thats good. gotta be an observant father.
RancoredElf: I can't go out there, cuz Everett's down for his nap, and my wife's still asleep after working a night shift
RancoredElf: obv he doesn't take after his old man.....
RancoredElf: otherwise he'd be after the 2 year olds
...
SFB SPEEDY: Really?
...
RancoredElf: so how're your parts today
...
SFB SPEEDY: .... O_o
It was a nice try at a change in topic....well no it wasn't. Sometimes Daron Just worries me.
*racks brain* LMG...LMG....um....where have I heard that before...LMG. Loki Monkey God? But wait was he in the Called? Damn, how old school are you? I mean before my time would be back six years ago. O_O

Greetings, my friends. I am pleased to inform you that I have returned. I was living with some friends... with no internet. Now, I've got free internet and cable. So, I should be around about the same as I was months before. I'll post an update on what kind of crazy things I've been doing the last month or so later... Ta ta for now.

Loki! Who could forget
?
You are most welcome to post, I am sure. Wait a bit to re-apply - slot #12 is open right now, if you're patient you can get #13, baby.
We came back from camping to find 'relia had been ID'thefted
Police called us not long after we'd walked through the door, to say they'd arrested someone with reya's bank details on a scrap of paper! Have to wait 'til moonday to talk to the bank about recovering the money. Anyway. We did some decent nature-show hosting, I'll link it later.
How ya feelin' BD?
eds - btw r_e, thanks for posting on 'relia's picture, she really appreciates the feedback
also; anybody see this the first time around? I <3 NP Don't test me when I'm crazy, off that airplane glue.
Put my foot down your throat 'til your s**t's in my shoe.
@Daron: Blah, if they're also white bordered in Portal or whenever they were initially printed, I'll probably just have to take WB ones for now. Man I despise WB cards heh. And yeah, I was looking through your site and saw that you have some of the stuff I need, I'll take a closer look later. Let me know how much for the Pyroclasm, also
@LMG: Hello. I've heard of you.
@Rian: Man..that's a *****. Hope everything works out alright.
Bah, ID theft seems to be getting more and more comon. Saw a show on CNN the other day where someone had their ID stollen and went to the apropriate athorities with her SSN, Birth Certificate, and passorport and the person still asked how that proved who they are.
Then there are idiots like me that rarely ever change my password and tend to have the same one for everything. Well not as much anymore, but there was a time where if you got ahold of one password and you got access to everything of mine from forums to...well you get the idea. Seems that in the states its harder than hell to fix the problem.
I know LMG, I just don't recall him being in the Called...at the same time as me? Now no offense or anything, my brain tends to be fuzzy like that. I don't even remember much past 5 years ago...if that. Might be a problem.
Hey, did I ever show you all this picture? It's out of foccus but its the best picture I got of a bat in action. Took forever to get too.

rianalann, did you have a different SN on mtgnews? I don't recognize this one. . .
Daggertooth, if I remember correctly, I left around the same time you and Cyan joined in the fall (October-ish) of '04. Before that, I had been a member of The Called since the summer of '01. Also in response to Daggertooth, awesome picture. I've seen bats fly, and I imagine catching one on film is about as frustrating as trying to take pictures of lightning.
Slot #13? *Steeples hands and splays fingers* Ex-cellent. Now all I have to do is wait for some poor sucker to take slot #12. Did I say sucker? I meant. . .um. . .upstanding citizen. Yeah, that's it.

It's always good to see an old friend find their way back! Have a seat, drink some beer, urinate on the rug. But do throw a towel over it before you pass out, eh? Good man.

No problem! I usually feel a bit weird because I don't know much about art, but I try and appreciate it from my perspective, and usually end up saying something which makes no sense and isn't even funny or interesting. She probably just deletes my comments and goes for tea. Hey how did the ID theft thing resolve?

I'm sure if you got a decent amount of stuff, I'd just toss it in. Otherwise, they're going for between $1 and $3 on eBay, so $1 would be fine.

You could be waiting a while. We don't get a lot of those, here.
Hey guys, I'm going to the cabin this weekend, you're all invited. For the first time ever on a "guy trip" up there, we're allowing Magic. So bring a deck, and a lot of beer. Fishing licence optional.
Fall of 2004? Not quite that late. I became a member back in december 2003. Though my participation was fairly low. I was typicaly on one hiatus or another and unable to post frequently. Every summer I was gone three months at a time. This was after my membership in the DM's and my attempts at top 20 on news back in 2001 and 2002 (which I made #20 at 450 posts or so). Your reputation is large and we did overlap in clan time...but I think my infrequent posting muddles my brain. I recall every other day Blod bugging me about posting in the clan thread. Now I'm returning him the favor. :-p
The bat was very difficult and not nearly as big as it seems. The bats liked to fly by the balcony lights to eat the bugs. They would fly at your head and dodge at the last second. So I got out my camera with a big flash and tried to time it just right. I got bits and pieces of bats perfectly in focus...but the one I posted was the best of an entire bat. Not nearly that great. Tons of pictures were taken, mostly of blank sky. :-p I did worry that a bright light blinding a bat barreling towards me at incredible speeds might not have been the smartest thing to do. But none lost control in their momentary blindness to crash into me. :-D

While riding my bike.
Ok, now that the shock has settled in a bit, the details. I was riding in the bike lane on Broadway, westbound. A truck (not a pickup, a larger commercial truck about 5m long) was in the rightmost vehicle lane, which was directly to my left. We were approaching an intersection, and our direction had the green light. I continued my forward direction, whilst he made a right hand turn. As soon as I noticed that he was doing this, I hit my brakes as hard as I could (thank god I keep my bike in good condition) but it was not enough nor soon enough. I made contact with the back 20% of the truck, which in its turn thankfully continued forward so that shortly I was free of the collision and instead falling directly onto the pavement below.
The truck continued onward.
I drug myself out of the street and onto the corner. From there, I used my cell phone to... wait, no I didn't. The battery was dead. Dammit!
That's ok though, because here comes some stranger in another truck, telling me that he pulled over the guy and told him that he hit me. He then offers to let me use his cellphone to call the police, which I gratiously accept. While I'm on the phone with the police, the truck driver shows up.

Five minutes later, the paramedics arrive. Of course, they come in the form of an ambulance and firetruck, which is way more than I need. Inefficient beurasctracy for you though. They checked me out, ask me questions, and make sure I'm not about to die. Truthfully, it was the most piss poor medical attention I have ever received. They checked that I was responsive, that my blood pressure was ok, and that I didn't black out at any point. Then they left.
Over the next hour, the police officer filled out forms, and I chatted with the guy who hit me. Once that was done, he offered me and my bike a ride back to my apartment, which I accepted with many a thanks.
It wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been, but I did not come out of it unscatched. In addtion to som scrapes and scratches on my arms, hands, and legs (still baffles me how one's leg can be cut while one's jeans remain intact,) I am suffering some knee injuries. My left knee is a little sore as I move it, and I am unable to bend my right knee beyond aobut 30 degrees without a great deal of pain. Hopefully these are just temporary ailments, and I'll be better soon. Only time will tell on that though.

As for the medical attention, that sounds pretty standard for any roadside "fall". Make sure there was no loss of consciousness, no overt bleeding or broken bones, no severe pain, normal vital signs. You probably could have insisted on seeing a doctor or something, but from what I understand of your medical system, that would have cost you. Also, keep in mind that assessment doesn't always mean "things the patient notices". They were doing more than what you saw them doing, if they were half decently trained.
I think it's good the police came. Did you get a report number or something? You may need it, if your injuries turn out to be more than just scratches and such.

I remember when 'my 2 friends are fighting' constituted an emergency...then at some point it becomes 'my 2 kids are trying to kill each other'.
So recently(not really, I just thought of it for some reason), I caught the end of that Anthony Hopkins movie, Titus, which is apparently based off of the Shakespearean play, Titus Andronicus(or something like that). Near the end of the movie, these 2 lordlings rape Titus' daughter. He finds out, and captures them, and..turns them into some kind of meat pie, which he then feeds to his dinner party, which includes their mother. Before anyone realizes what they're eating, they all marvel at how delicious it is. Which brings me to two points..A)I think that moral irreconciliation is probably the only reason that we don't eat dogs/cats/each other along with everything else and B)for all of his genius, Shakespeare could certainly be deranged when he wanted to.
I"m slowly getting back into paper magic, I have about 1/2 of the cards for the deck that I want to build. If anyone has any of the following for trade/sale(I'll send first, heheh), please contact me:
2 Demonfire
1 Pyroclasm(Ice Age Only)
2 Tidings(Strong preference towards something black bordered)
2 Breeding Pool
2 Shivan Reef
4 Steam Vents
3 Textless Mana Leak
1 Textless Hinder
4 Pithing Needle
4 Imaginary Pet(Strongly prefer black bordered, which is Urza's Saga, if possible)
4 Annex(ONS Only)
I AM DRIVING AGAIN!! That's right TN: Lock up your daughters b/c the sexual T-Rex is on the loose!! Last night I bent a rim though. I had to walk home (a few miles). This is not the neighborhood you want to walk around in, so I carried some mace and had my keys in my fist, keys sticking out like Freddy Kruger. No one messed with me. Luckily I was able to hammer on the rim and get the tire bead to seal. So, it’s all good. Damn 18'' rims and low profile tires are unforgiving if you hit a curb or anything really. I am getting sick of it.
I'm sorry I am burnt-out atm. I dunno why. I know this is a great time in MTG; in Standard and Extended. But for some reason I just feel "bla" whenever I see a card. I don't know what it is but I doubt it'll last forever.
Daron - I never saw your thread, sorry. I haven't been in the CS&C area in sometime. I think a 3/2 vanilla for WW is fine though, obviously Uncommon. How many weenies can white have?
Have a great Friday Called!
PS - you know, Zig could be dead and we'd never know..

Dang Mike, that sounds horrible. I sure hate getting hit by a car. Course aparently I was at fault during my accident. Aperently it is legal to run someone over when they are riding their bike on the wrong side of the road, despite being off the road and in the dirt lot to the side of it. My fault for not crossing the buisy road for two blocks befor having to cross back. Cost me $1500 or so...ambulance convinced me to go get an X-ray and that the vehicle would pay for it.

Look....I'll bring home some fudge and sand and sun for eveyone....then I'll eat it and let you guys know how delicious it is!!:p
I WANT THIS DAMN THREAD TO BE ON PAGE 7 or 8 BY THE TIME I GET BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post people......
I'll try to get on at the coffee shop on the island but I can't gay-ron-tee nuthin!
Peace out peeps!

I know I have some of that stuff on my site... I also have the Pyroclasm not listed. Those Tidings will have to be foil, right? When it first appeared (Starter) it was white bordered, just like in 9th. So... either Russian or foil.
It wasn't a thread in CS&C.... it was in a post in the Called thread, here! Have you been skipping posts! Ach! Don't do it, man! Gotta keep it real, yo. Anyway, can there really be a 3/2 for :symw:? I guess you're right... it's kind of a Watchwolf cept it dies to shock. I guess white gets Silver Knight so why not a vanilla 3/2. It could be a Lion, that'd be good flavour.

I used to be a member of this clan, "back in the day" as it were, back on mtgnews. I talked to Daron on AIM yesterday to see if The Called still exists and he pointed me here. There are only a few that I recognize from my clan days, but I figured I may as well stop in and say hello. My acronym here is just my mtgnews screenname abbreviated, so figuring out who I am shouldn't be difficult.
So anyway, I stopped in to say hello to faces old and new (Hello!) and I've done that, so that seems like the end of this post. I'm going to go wander through the rest of these message boards, and I may be back here slightly later to apply for re-entry into this most excellent of clans.
It was a nice try at a change in topic....well no it wasn't. Sometimes Daron Just worries me.
*racks brain* LMG...LMG....um....where have I heard that before...LMG. Loki Monkey God? But wait was he in the Called? Damn, how old school are you? I mean before my time would be back six years ago. O_O

I was living with some friends... with no internet. Now, I've got free internet and cable. So, I should be around about the same as I was months before.
I'll post an update on what kind of crazy things I've been doing the last month or so later...
Ta ta for now.
?
You are most welcome to post, I am sure. Wait a bit to re-apply - slot #12 is open right now, if you're patient you can get #13, baby.
We came back from camping to find 'relia had been ID'thefted
Police called us not long after we'd walked through the door, to say they'd arrested someone with reya's bank details on a scrap of paper! Have to wait 'til moonday to talk to the bank about recovering the money. Anyway. We did some decent nature-show hosting, I'll link it later.
How ya feelin' BD?
eds - btw r_e, thanks for posting on 'relia's picture, she really appreciates the feedback
also; anybody see this the first time around? I <3 NP
Don't test me when I'm crazy, off that airplane glue.
Put my foot down your throat 'til your s**t's in my shoe.
@LMG: Hello. I've heard of you.
@Rian: Man..that's a *****. Hope everything works out alright.
@Zig: Nice to see you back.
Then there are idiots like me that rarely ever change my password and tend to have the same one for everything. Well not as much anymore, but there was a time where if you got ahold of one password and you got access to everything of mine from forums to...well you get the idea. Seems that in the states its harder than hell to fix the problem.
I know LMG, I just don't recall him being in the Called...at the same time as me? Now no offense or anything, my brain tends to be fuzzy like that. I don't even remember much past 5 years ago...if that. Might be a problem.
Hey, did I ever show you all this picture? It's out of foccus but its the best picture I got of a bat in action. Took forever to get too.

Daggertooth, if I remember correctly, I left around the same time you and Cyan joined in the fall (October-ish) of '04. Before that, I had been a member of The Called since the summer of '01. Also in response to Daggertooth, awesome picture. I've seen bats fly, and I imagine catching one on film is about as frustrating as trying to take pictures of lightning.
Slot #13? *Steeples hands and splays fingers* Ex-cellent. Now all I have to do is wait for some poor sucker to take slot #12. Did I say sucker? I meant. . .um. . .upstanding citizen. Yeah, that's it.
Bwahahaha.
It's always good to see an old friend find their way back! Have a seat, drink some beer, urinate on the rug. But do throw a towel over it before you pass out, eh? Good man.
Oh come on, surely that's not REALLY what I said... was it?
Do we know you?
No problem! I usually feel a bit weird because I don't know much about art, but I try and appreciate it from my perspective, and usually end up saying something which makes no sense and isn't even funny or interesting. She probably just deletes my comments and goes for tea. Hey how did the ID theft thing resolve?
I'm sure if you got a decent amount of stuff, I'd just toss it in. Otherwise, they're going for between $1 and $3 on eBay, so $1 would be fine.
Whatever, Frank. Get out of our clan, you thief! And give Chris back his passwords!
Nice bat pic though, Frank.
You could be waiting a while. We don't get a lot of those, here.
Hey guys, I'm going to the cabin this weekend, you're all invited. For the first time ever on a "guy trip" up there, we're allowing Magic. So bring a deck, and a lot of beer. Fishing licence optional.

Naap. One + the same. I savagely lurked the Called (+ News, for that matter) until after you were on the way out.
Now put my avatar up in the members section
@re: We are negotiating the return of our missing funds ;_; should be all good, eventually. . . we are going to a ninja movie to console ourselves ~_^
The bat was very difficult and not nearly as big as it seems. The bats liked to fly by the balcony lights to eat the bugs. They would fly at your head and dodge at the last second. So I got out my camera with a big flash and tried to time it just right. I got bits and pieces of bats perfectly in focus...but the one I posted was the best of an entire bat. Not nearly that great. Tons of pictures were taken, mostly of blank sky. :-p I did worry that a bright light blinding a bat barreling towards me at incredible speeds might not have been the smartest thing to do. But none lost control in their momentary blindness to crash into me. :-D

Wow, I completely didn't realize that not everone has a 100 Mbit/s connection to the server and may not want to download a 750kb image. I've fixed the problem, and now the file is about 5% its original size. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
Note, if it doesn't appear to be fixed, that's because your computer is caching the old image. Hit ctrl+F5 while on my member page or this very thread page to force your computer to download the new image.
