When this is finished downloading, I'll post it. Ya know, someone should put this in Photoshop and check out what they're using for tiles...

I was at my local Starbucks the other day, and I was looking at a very busy graphic montage on the wall across from me... Nothing better to do. Suddenly, I noticed near the top, among all the visual noise, was written "Starbucks = Life" and "Life = Starbucks." How's that for corporate marketing? Made me want to throw my no-foam-triple-frapa-crapa-whatever at the clerk - or at least one of the three cameras they placed in the store to watch the employees.

It's called Japanese "cosplay" or costume-play. Apparently really big over there right now. Girls and some boys dress up like their favorite anime characters or just try to see how outrageous they can get. Everything from Little Bo Peep to death-rock goddess. They hang out in parks dressed like this and see if they can get attention.

There are lots of different Japanese fashion cults. Some time ago I read a hilarious picture story about it. If I can find a link in my travels I'll post it.

Works for me Rick , but it would be beter by link or private message. Trust me on this , I've seen a few people get Adminated for , shall we say , risque posts. Not havin' a go , just passing on experience. (I'm setting my stop watch). May be cool , I dunno , just a deja vu thing.Don't sweat it - they will just pull it if it's noticed and thought OTT.

Thanks Kris,

I was debating if I should post it or not. Never dawned on me to put it in a private message. Ah well...We see a lot "worse" things on TV and in the streets everyday....Not everything is bad in the times we live in....

Looks like the sort of everyday clothing no-one could possibly complain about! Although, to make a better judgment, I'd have to see the item from all directions.

I think even an optical mouse needs something reasonably smooth ,like a hat , to work on.

You know you're off-topic, right here.

Anyway, an optical mouse needs only a surface to work with. Any surface other than a mirror would do.

he he.

Did you know that Sinclair was totally serious when he built the C5. He thought the roads would be full of them. Strange how great people can really loose the bigger picture. I think some C5's were bought up by a holiday camp or something. My mate had one of these . cornering on 2 wheels was impressive. On the subject of rides , did you see this one - I love the way the guy was so calm after , saying the only thing he really noticed was loosing some soda. Wow.

I bet he got real close to that light at the end of the tunnel that people talk about and came back. Might have just been the oncoming headlights though.

Are you on about this wheelchair fella?

When I saw the link, I first though the man stirred the truck with his chair's joystick, telling by the non-caring expression on his mug.

Then I got to read he was caught and pushed.

err..

Well today's off to a good start. vermin sent me off to Japanese fashion world , and on top of that I walked clear through a wall to do this nonsense. My next experiment may involve different colours. The mini pics used seemed to be a bit naughty. On top of my picture library being raided , the Taliban are probably talking through my innocent image.
