    Certain Sounds, perhaps?

    Take, for example, this Mission Impossible theme used to soundtrack a Krypton Factor-esque obstacle course for a squirrel:

  • Hard News: Belief Media, in reply to Simon Grigg,

    The way the early church aggressively wrote, re-wrote, edited, deleted and manipulated the mythology, evidence and stories that have since become the various versions of the lore of the faithful has always fascinated me.

    The Nag Hammadi Gnostic texts seem to indicate they stripped out all the feminine aspects...

    Moon wins every time

    and somewhere a Koala croaks incoherently*....

    Foyer pleasure...

    I found myself getting a kind of reversed vertigo looking up.

    well they look like vestibules, so some vestibulocochlear nerve reaction is likely...
    :- )

    Lights II.

    very scifi - could be from Solaris, Dune, 2001 or somesuch...
    '60s somehow, more than now - tanks for this...

    Love the assemblage, collage, art too...

  • Capture: Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day, in reply to Jos,

    Shucks...

    Insect husks, 30 second exposure for this

    It almosts looks a sequential time lapse...
    but no it is just Mark Seymour territory again:
    "Shed your skin and let's get started..."

    I always wanted to be able to that,
    imagine all these people husks
    on city walls and under bridges...

    I was just looking at trees in Hagley Park
    the other day to see if there were any
    current husks about...

    turn, turn, turn...

    an O(b)S-tackle course...

    ...the Great Wall of Jobs

    Check some... results in some odious images
    more flagrant than fragrant....


    the theme meme...
    one of my yoof-ful favourites...

    I still have the soundtrack record, and once had the woolworths pyjamas
    (which came with a glow-in-the-dark triangular U.N.C.L.E. badge - which I lost one drunken night in Auckland many years ago - one of life's regrets!)

    <Hark! a Whap! outside,
    7.37am - The Press has arrived,
    the day begins...>

    Hey Zeus...

    Coupled with the fact that even if we knew that he actually was – which is at best about 50/50 – we have absolutely no idea what he really said, did, thought or anything else.

    perhaps they had excellent name suppression laws back then, too?
    and if only he'd had access to Twitter© ...

    Flight club...

    Contractors still drive the wrong way on our horrid oneway streets.

    Yeah, I noticed that the other day, too - what's that about?

    re the one way streets - I don't mind them and think they should wait till we have a centre city again - and see what size it is - before they spend $91 million changing them back to two way thoroughfares. I also don't understand the letters to the paper that describe them as speedways or racetracks thru town, they are gazetted at 50 km the same as all the other streets in town and the suburbs round the malls (I think the square was 30km, but only because they'd created such a narrow dangerous road to negotiate that it would be insane to drive faster) - if one is prepared to think, and plan, ahead the one way system is an excellent arterial system...
    <IMHO>
