I don' know what kind of romanization you are using, but I haven't learned the slope speak this way



I'm pretty much making it up as I go along. I don't know shit about the language.

das but said:I used to live in their community back in mid 2000's in Orlando. Worked at a popular slope business that specialized in certain needs for local yellow folk business entrepreneurs. One time I ran into a white guy at work...he was maybe 70 something years old, shopping...I'll always remember when he said :

"Oh yeah, I know all about that china food stuff. I married me one of them kinda folk."

:gramps:



We have a place called "Oceans" up here that specializes in Asian cuisine. They do have the freshest damned seafood you can get, period. And its worth it to take her shopping, because I'm your typical polite Canadian, waiting my turn, which means the help staff ignore me. She goes after them and yips away in Mandarin and gets things done pronto!

das but said:Lychee is pretty gross. Is that Yucca in the 1st pic you posted?



Lychee is great fresh - of course, I have the advantage of a chinese girlfriend who knows how to pick the best ones\

Another great delicacy is dragonfruit.

But, the sweetest of all are the peaches and rasberries that come from my backyard. The peaches are done, but, the rasberries are about to give me a surprise.

I'm not used to lamb....is it usually like that?



You have to cook it low and slow - my chops are going on the grill at the lowest setting.

Lamb is one of the ultra meats, when it is prepared right.

Not bad. I'm making lamb chops myself.

They're marinating in a white wine, cumin, garlic and pepper mix right now. :thumbup:

Zathrus2 said:A brief eddy created a low pressure pocket of perfectly still air, causing mist to gather. Perhaps the cool air made the mist unusually reflective. A trick of reflection caused light to illuminate the mist

Seems simple to me.



The reflection is easy - I was using a flash. Just a wide area fill flash. I'm not worried about the light source.

What you say is possible, indeed. However, it would still be on the extremely rare scale of events. Either way, that is still an awfully rare photograph, and worth more study.

The rest of us drink with friends and family for days and days.



No, I just love to see my chinese gf dress up as an anime character, have a fun night on the town, and then bang the shit out of her.

I'd hold costume parties every weekend if I could.

It is distinct from the background, so it has coherence.

No, although I do have a medeival monks costume. Halloween is a bit of a big deal amongst my friends, so I own a closet full of costumes.

Santa brings you coal, which I suppose was useful if you were an 18th century upper middle class englishman.

We were talking theory - but, its okay, if it makes you feel better to imagine me dressed in some sort of druid outfit harvesting oak leaves with my sickle at midnight, feel free to do so.

I believe only demons can possess - although there are cases of cryptomnesia which are attributed to reincarnation - although it is possible a discarnate spirit might be responsible for that.

I've often thought that there are those who depart into the light, and others who hang around just watching.

The bible spoke of "watchers" and maybe thats what it meant, rather than a choir of angels.

Mel Gibson said:If there were ghosts why the fuck would they hang out in graveyards?



There are legends of a guardian spirit in graveyards - kind of the protector of the bodies there.

I'm not saying its a good explanation, i'm just saying it is an esplanation.

Thats how the ghost hunters do it. Besides, film wasn't expensive, and developing it was like $5 a roll with duplicate prints. We could afford to take a few chances back then.

:wtf:



If you had been reading, we were "ghost hunting" as part of a school project. our intention was to prove that nothing would be moving around - we had been to several graveyards, and taken wholly unremarkable photos.

From this particular graveyard, we got 2 very spooky looking shots.
