Okay, Mauser. That one is worthy of a touch up as well!
Nice wheels! (Not just the car.)

Angling the camera in ways that exaggerate depth.


This one is hard to overcome since realtors use camera lenses that are intended to capture as much of the room as possible in a single shot. It inevitably results in misrepresentation of the size of a room in the photos since the depth is exaggerated by the camera. Easiest way to spot this and account for it is to look for floor tile and see how rectangular they appear versus how square they ought to appear. That can give you at least a little idea of the actual size of the room in the photo.

This was one of the things that pissed me off the most when the wife and I were searching for homes a couple years ago. What you found when you went to actually see a property was significantly smaller and more cramped than what was seemingly represented in the photos.

This is pre-cell phones. How do you know all the other clocks weren't slow?


Because it didn't match the sundial in the courtyard. :lol:

No. Actually because it didn't match the clock at the Memorial Tower and I noticed that I was showing up to class earlier and earlier each passing day, which was something I had never been prone to doing at that age.

It's not that they don't see the irony. The truth of the matter is that they don't want you to be able to return fire when they start s**t.

I’m only 34 and had that exact alarm clock on my nightstand the entire time I was at LSU


I had that alarm clock at LSU as well ('86 - '91). For some reason, it always ran fast and gained a couple minutes every day in the South Stadium and Pentagon dorms. I always wondered if the electricity on campus ran a tad higher than 60 hz. That's the only thing I can think of that would account for the fast clocks.

Edit for clarification: It ran perfectly fine at home and everywhere else it went with me. It only ran fast on campus. Had to be something with the power to the dorms at LSU during those years.
Could you please bring to our attention any coherent thought presented in this meme you posted? It kinda has that appearance to it that it was put together by someone who found an ancient stash of Quaaludes and decided to try them before trying to make a meme.

Do NOT underestimate them or count them out. They have a base of unhinged lunatics who foam at the mouth and will do ANYTHING to regain and wield despotic authority as quickly as they can. They may even tone down the rhetoric and hide behind a false face of being "reasonable" in order to regain the seats they have lost, but they should never be counted out. Vigilance is the name of the game to protect the nation from their depravity.
Does anyone really believe that Trump's disapproval rating in in the 60% range as we're being told of late?

The swamp creatures are afraid and doing everything they can to avoid being decapitated and left to the vultures.

Swamp goblin....hmmm... Possibly.

I always thought he was the illegitimate offspring of a Rougarou and a naked mole rat.
The video is typical leftist drivel, begging for money to "help stop Trump!" (The TDS id real with this one.) Just click to thoroughly enjoy the comment section that poor ole Pocahontas forgot to disable.

Excellent memes today. Looks like you've picked up a serial downvoter, though. (You're obviously doing something right somewhere.)

I'm not big on piped in music either, but let's be honest here... putting TGBFTL on the ice to perform pregame seems a tad reckless.
Sounds like it's gonna be paid work. Any time you work for pay you have to provide two forms of ID (unless one of them is a passport) and a SS card. Momdani is a fuque'tard, but there isn't anything out of the norm with the requirements.
Do any of y'all remember the larger version that looked kinda like a Saturn V rocket? The one shown here was supposed to reach about 100 feet while the larger one said on the box that it should reach 300 feet. (Yeah, I was spoiled. I had both of 'em.)
I have no problem with the federal gov't cleaning up the Potomac after this disaster. One thing though - it needs to be returned to complete federal control. It is the capital city of the United States. It is not part of any state, nor is it a state itself. It is federal property and it should be run entirely by the federal government.

The home rule liberties that they have been allowed have turned it into a complete cesspool both figuratively, and now literally.
Okay - This one was worthy and deserving of a little color restoration.




Didn't take much, but the lighting looks a tad better now.
Keep posting more like these please! The 60s thru the 80s were wonderful times for a lot of us.
1998

Living in Orlando, FL and building stuff at Disney and MGM. Biggest project was Wilderness Lodge Timeshares/Resort. Did a bunch of work installing the FastPass lines, converting one attraction to another (like Eastern Airlines ride to Buzz Lightyear).

I was single, enjoyed the heck outta my free time with scuba and surfing, played a few gigs with a band, and generally enjoyed myself as a full fledged hedonist.

Four years later, I married the girl I had been smitten by waaaaay back in high school. Moved to the metro Atlanta area and became somewhat respectable.

Yeah, 1998-2001 were some great times in Orlando for a bunch of us who had graduated LSU and wound up in the same area at the same time. We had known each other in school and formed one hell of a close knit group while we were all there.

Well, now... I never expected to see the place where I was raised mentioned on TD! Let me just say that it's a great place to be from. (I think you'll get my meaning if you've ever spent much time there.)

Thanks, Mauser! This took me right back to 1973 when I got one of these for my 5th birthday. Good times and a soaking wet shirt!
