Monday Lunch Break Picture Thread

[LostinVA]

I took a bunch of photos this weekend with a digital SLR camera -- quite a nifty little gadget.

This is one I call "Virginia Chainsaw Massacre." The fiancee was NOT pleased when I suggested foie gras, oxtail soup, and veal marsala for the wedding reception menu. I barely escaped with my life!

[commander bunnypants]

1. wonder what area you live in

looks close to me

CB

Can I borrow the chain saw?

[LostinVA]

3. Yes -- but it's a little one

Where's your photo???

[commander bunnypants]

9. Dont have one. to lazy to learn how to upload.

Keira only lets me sleep at 4 hour intervals right now1.

Henrico

[LostinVA]

13. Babies will do that

She keeps you on your toes though, eh?

Pretty close to you -- near Goochland.

[commander bunnypants]

14. right down the road

10 minutes on 64 probably

[LostinVA]

16. Yup

The chainsaw is only for small tress and landscape timber, although it does a GREAT job with the latter.

[swimboy]

38. You are effing kidding me, right?

If you're that close, when am I coming to visit?

[LostinVA]

44. You can come visit whenever you want, Pookie

I'll even let you use my chainsaw.

[swimboy]

64. !

:woohoo:

[LostinVA]

71. I knew you would like that

Men and phallic power tools...

[swimboy]

85. Hah!

Yeah, Retro and I were born just two days apart, but we share many traits.

[LostinVA]

98. Hmmm... that explains alot

[Karenca]

2. She looks toooooooo cute in that picture!

Tell her Karen says 'Hi!" :hi:

[LostinVA]

5. It's a REALLY nifty camera

We took about 40 photos -- I believe the neighbors thought we were insane.

[Callalily]

4. Yes, she appears

to be a force not to be reckoned with. :rofl: Good luck on the wedding plans.

[LostinVA]

6. I'm pissed about the veal

Damn.

We may have to have LeftyMom's Lentil *gag* Loaf.

[Karenca]

7. I'm pissed about the foie gras. nt

[LostinVA]

15. We'll actually probably have

A meat and/or seafood dish, along with a vegan one -- we have a decent amount of vegetarian nd vegan friends and relatives.

There's actually a pervyish chainsaw photo, but I thought it prudent NOT to post that one!


(We made up the first draft guest list Saturday night.)

[belladonna]

27. Seriously cool pic!!

First draft guest list, eh? Am I on it?? Huh, am I? :bounce:

[LostinVA]

31. It is, isn't it?

Let me see... are you on the list or not? Hmmm.......

[belladonna]

33. Such a tease!!

:cry:

[LostinVA]

34. That's what the girls all say

And Starbucks Anarchist.

[belladonna]

35. Fine

Ever heard of a wedding crasher? :D

[LostinVA]

36. I love that movie

[belladonna]

40. So do I

I'll be the Vince Vaughn character and my SO can be Owen Wilson. I hope he doesn't mind when I start hitting on CBoy4 :D

[LostinVA]

42. CBoy4 might start hitting on Owen Wilson!

[belladonna]

43. Well yeah, that might happen

But I have to try. He's too hot for me to resist :evilgrin:

[LostinVA]

48. I can sell photos online if it does

[belladonna]

53. Only if I get a cut!

I'm sure I'll be rejected totally, but hitting on him would still be tons of fun :D

[LostinVA]

55. You got it!

[cboy4]

67. Awwww

:loveya:

[belladonna]

77. I'll give you a cut of my cut!!

But only if you make out with me :evilgrin:

[cboy4]

79. I've alerted on your post.

:rofl:

But it's a deal!

[belladonna]

89. Alerted on me, eh?

C'mon, what's a little blackmail between friends?? :D

[Zywiec]

84. I really like this picture. Is this someone you know?

[JackBeck]

86. It's Damien from "The Omen". n/t

[Zywiec]

90. Boy am I dumb. It just looked like a powerful picture.

I though maybe it was from Arlington or somewhere.

My bad!

[JackBeck]

91. Hey, no problem.

:hi:

[cboy4]

92. Is it? It's look like me in 5th grade.

666

[JackBeck]

93. We HAVE to be related.

The kids on the playground used to look for the 666 on the back of my head when I was younger. Really helped with the self-esteem.

[cboy4]

95. All of the kids on the playground were always told to keep

away from me. I remember telling my nanny.

[LostinVA]

99. Hehehehhehehhe

[NMMNG]

10. Mmmmm, Lentil Loaf

:9

[LostinVA]

12. It makes a wonderful door stop

[NMMNG]

21. We're not talking fruit cake here

Geesh. :eyes:

[LostinVA]

25. I know -- but it's fun to tease you non-meat freaks -- errrr -- people

[NMMNG]

73. Bite me

:P

[LostinVA]

100. The other half may kick my ass if I do that

[taterguy]

8. Hopes he's not invited to your little foie gras fest

[LostinVA]

11. Uh oh -- that's Carolina foie gras

[sniffa]

17. awww, adorabLe

:loveya:

nice face too. :rofl:

[LostinVA]

19. I want to see a photo of your feet, boyo

[sniffa]

24. are you gonna trade?

haruka doesn't have runners' feet, right?

[LostinVA]

26. Good point

I'll see what I can do.

[sniffa]

45. weLL then, here ya go

[LostinVA]

49. That top one is NOT your back/hip

POSEUR!!!

[sniffa]

54. um, yeah it is

jeaLous of my curves?

[LostinVA]

56. STFU

:cry:

[bicentennial_baby]

75. i'll vouch for him

:thumbsup:

[idgiehkt]

18. That is a gorgeous picture

Her hair is getting so long! Too cute. :hi:

[LostinVA]

20. We were saying this weekend how long it's getting

She's cutting it shortish for the summer. If I swam as much as she does, I would too.

[taterguy]

22. Will help clean up after the reception

[LostinVA]

29. Hehehehehehe -- dogs are way better than vacuums

How much do they cost to rent?

[taterguy]

41. Honey, can we loan the dogs to strangers that play with chainsaws?

I'm sure you're both fine-upstanding people but I dunno about that.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

23. That is such an adorable picture.

:hide: :hi:

Here's me again:

[LostinVA]

28. You really are a nice looking lad

You're positively YUMMO.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

30. Oh, now...

:blush:

[LostinVA]

32. I meant that in a platonic way, of course

I don't want either Rachael OR Haruka to beat me up.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

37. Sure, "platonic."

;) :rofl:

[LostinVA]

46. "Platonic" actually means "Using huge amounts of EVOO"

[Starbucks Anarchist]

57. Then I'd like to get "platonic" with a whole bunch of people.

:evilgrin: :rofl:

[LostinVA]

65. I figured that!!!

[Guava Jelly]

39. She is a cutie!

I like her with longer hair.
The chainsaw gives me the creeps :7

[LostinVA]

47. It's a little chainsaw -- it probably couldn't kill anyone

Just maim and disfigure them.

She is a cutie. I like her hair a little longer, too. Although, I'd still like the minx even if she was bald (although, let's all hope she doesn't do that, okay??? :scrared:).

[cboy4]

70. Probably couldn't kill anyone? I disagree

:scared:

[LostinVA]

72. We can always take a STAB at it, sweetums

[cboy4]

76. I guess so. If it all BOILS down to that.

:shrug:

[NMMNG]

81. Maybe not kill anyone

Definitely remove some beloved appendages though.

[LostinVA]

101. Yup, maim and disfigure

[Guava Jelly]

114. She does like her weapons.

I think the first picture i saw of her she was holding a sword and making a snarly face.
I just bet underneath the Warrior is a really sweet and loving person...I'd put money on it.

[LostinVA]

121. Guess what?

You'd be right.

Except if you say bad stuff about the NYC Giants.

:scared:

[Cathyclysmic]

50. In keeping with the spirit of the OP's pic thread,

three people I've grown to know and love over the last couple years.

[LostinVA]

51. Very nice photo!

Except I do miss the addition of possibly deadly power tools.

I love black and white photography.

[Shell Beau]

111. How are they?

[RetroLounge]

52. A lesbian with a Chainsaw held in a Phallic position?

:loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:



:hi:

RL

[LostinVA]

58. And that's the PG-rated version

Those look like IKEA Billy bookcases in the background. I love them -- $25 bookcases. You need cheap ones when you have as many books as I (and you) do.

[RetroLounge]

61. They are the $40 Office Depot ones.

I have 100 of them...

(They came with the books) :D

RL

[LostinVA]

63. Hmmm.... nicer than mine, but I love IKEA

I'd probably buy bags of dirt there if they were called a cool name like Flugenhornlogenar.

[RetroLounge]

74. Flugenhornlogenar?

That's my maiden name!

:silly:

:hi:

RL

[NMMNG]

97. And while I'm on the subject of books...

The one I ordered from you came in. :thumbsup:

[RetroLounge]

116. Sweet!

:thumbsup:

RL

[LostinVA]

102. I knew it -- is that Swedish or Danish?

[RetroLounge]

115. Swedish

of course...

RL

[LostinVA]

122. I thought so because of the "Flugen" part

[NMMNG]

80. I have four short bookcases

I'm trying to figure out how to fit 8 boxes of books into them. :shrug:

[RetroLounge]

120. Confuscious Say:

Better to have too many books than too many bookshelves...

:9

RL

[NMMNG]

123. I'm very well off then

I just got three new books in the mail today.

[RetroLounge]

124. Yay! New Books!!!

I bought a new book of poetry last night.

Refusing heaven by Jack Gilbert. Great stuff!

:hi:

RL

[NMMNG]

127. I got "Medieval Europe"

"Neanderthal"

and

"Vaccine"


I've got some interesting reading ahead.

[SKKY]

117. I'm so glad you had the nerve to say what WE ALL were thinking!!!

[LostinVA]

131. I knew the straight guys on DU wouldn't let me down

What a bunch of pervs!

[SKKY]

135. Would you have us any other way????

[LostinVA]

137. Of course not -- I would be disappointed if you proved me wrong!

[Rambis]

59. Yum yum

[LostinVA]

66. ?????

Seriously, I don't get the popcorn image. I mean that. This isn't flamebait.

Geez.

[Rambis]

83. I don't either

All I know is it is yummy and it doesn't come with the pictures int he work machine.

[gmoney]

78. Anyone else seen these abominations?

Saw these in a store the other day...



Microwave pork rinds in one of those little pop-up bags like popcorn. Can't wait for the dopes in my building to start overcooking THESE babies. Yecchhh!

[LostinVA]

103. I love pork rinds, but these SUCK

[Shakespeare]

60. I love that picture!!

Could also be captioned "Don't fucking call me 'cute'!"

:rofl:

I take it you two had a fantabulous weekend?

re-run of my weekend pic thread pic:

[LostinVA]

68. Hehehhe -- that's a good caption, too

We did -- we played with the camera (no, not X-rated shots) and watched TLC shows.

[Shakespeare]

82. So where's one of you?

C'mon. Post up.

[LostinVA]

104. I promise to take some next weekend

[Gormy Cuss]

62. Nice picture of the fiancee.

Say hi to her for me.

When you move to NJ, can I have the chainsaw?

[LostinVA]

69. You live on the West Coast

If you were in VA, maybe.

I would love a more powerful one, but I promised my Dad I wouldn't get one -- he's afraid I might bled to death in a tree-sawing accident.

[swimboy]

87. I had an accident on a tree-swing once.

Actually, the accident part occurred OFF the tree-swing.

Oh, wait. That's not what you said.

[Gormy Cuss]

118. So that means no?

:shrug:

My SO is terrified of the day I take out the chainsaw. He knows how coordinated I am at times -- I cut through an extension cord with a hedge trimmer. Did you know all those 3-prong, circuit breaker tripping thingies really do work? :rofl:

[LostinVA]

119. That sounds like something I would do!

[ScreamingMeemie]

88. Chainsaw aside, that is a beautiful picture.

:loveya:

[flvegan]

94. Have mercy.

Good looks, tats AND a chainsaw?

But, I digress. I have to start behaving, lest she carry a grudge.

[WhollyHeretic]

96. That's a great pic

Here's me and my girlfriend's niece



My son and our puppy

[LostinVA]

105. What cute kids

[JackBeck]

106. A lesbian with a power tool.

How cliche! LOL.

She's a cutie, as always.

[LeftyMom]

107. Clean that thing up real good and put a ribbon on it, and the cake will be cut in record time.

:bounce:

[LostinVA]

108. OOOOOO -- that's a tres good idea

And soooo lesbian!

[LeftyMom]

109. Dude, I wonder about me sometimes.

:D

[LostinVA]

110. Hmmm -- I think you may be a little lesbian

Flvegan will like that!

[LeftyMom]

112. Would he ever.

Alas, sadly for him, I'm not. I can't help it, I was born this way.

[LostinVA]

113. I know, it's okay -- but, you can always try to change

There are some fine "Ex Straight" programs around. They show you photos of men's furry backs while zapping you with medium-level voltage.

[mentalsolstice]

125. Oh so cute!

Let her know that both of you are in our hearts and minds right now! I can't wait to see what you're planning for the marriage!

[LostinVA]

132. Trust me, we are planning away -- BRIDEZILLAS

She was finding articles, etc., on theknot.com last night and posting them in "our notebook" on there. Jeebus. WE HAVE AN ACCOUNT ON THE KNOT.

[Drum]

126. That's a hundred different kinds of hawwwwt!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Norwood]

128. Oh that is hot!

I wanna get in on this picture thread! Heres me looking like I need a nap

[LeftyMom]

129. Here she is again:

[sniffa]

130. ....

:rofl:

[bicentennial_baby]

133. Is that Bridezilla or...

Mechabridezilla? :rofl:

[LostinVA]

134. I may have to make that my avatar

[BarenakedLady]

136. Awwwww

Disturbing and yet endearing. LoL.

Looks like you had a great weekend.

:thumbsup:
