Now we get to see how many of our members are <i>truly</i> blessed with humility.

[GnomeWizardd]

I am very immature sometimes and I apologize for being crude. Perhaps I should not try to scare members of this great site away just because they happen to be female. I am obviously in need of some etiquette training! :D

[Clutch]

I also am a rude youngster who can't handle himself on a public forum that contains both males AND females! Imagine that! :) :)

[entropy]

I have nothing to say! You guys are right!

Freemymelody, thank you for attempting to bring happiness through fellowship to this site. I, for one, am going to enjoy finding a picture of MYSELF to put on this thread :)

merry christmas, everybody!

Well, I'm not in it, but the the best part of me is in it, so it'll have to do. When I get some more, I'll post them up.

This is my wife (the hostess), Perry (Freshyp) and Kyle (too young to have a forum account) getting the tree ready.

Snow... that's so cool! No pun intended. I come from the south, so to see snow in person is one hell of a moment. The only times I have ever seen a good amount of snow was when my family went snow skiing in Colorado when I was 5 years old. But it did snow ONCE where I lived in Texas, but it was gone by the afternoon, and the small snow man we made lasted till the evening. After that thee only times I ever saw snow again was in small patches in Colorado when I went on retreats there during spring every other year, and it sometimes snows in Dallas, but it melts as soon as it hits the ground.

I WANNA SEE SNOW AGAIN!!! :bawling:

[Freemymelody]

OMG Bothered, that's too funny! ;D

;D LMAO.... ;D

[primesuspect]

Come to michigan in january, you can stay at my house and I'll take you to see REAL snow. We'll go to the snowbelt in northern michigan, where weird lake effects from all these major bodies of water combined with air direct from the arctic combine to create feet upon feet of thick billowing white snow, almost for the entire winter.

[Thrax]

Prime's right; Michigan's snow belt is craziness. :D

And bothered, WTF dude? ;D

/me will post pics when he gets home on Thursday

[leishi85]

i'm glad i didn't go to Michigan Tech, probably snow half of the year.

[Freemymelody]

Here are some pics of how it looked like last year when it was winter or Christams in Ottawa! I remember when I was very young, I stuck my head in one of the little peep holes in the Redeau Canal and I couldn't get my head out. Other then that I did had fun! :thumbsup:

[GnomeWizardd]

for some reason Freemymelody your pics are not coming up

[primesuspect]

Lei: My cousins went to Michigan Tech. Sometimes they got 6 feet of snow :D

[leishi85]

w00t for A^2
barely any snow here on the ground, a lot better than G Rapids.

[primesuspect]

I wonder why your pics aren't showing up, freemymelody. I'm working on it.

[Freemymelody]

for some reason Freemymelody your pics are not coming up

Ya I've notice! I fixed it... :cool:

[GnomeWizardd]

Wow gorgeous FMM I wish i could see snow just once. Being 21 nad never seen snow sucks

[Thrax]

Wow, those are some stupendous images, FMM. Very pretty.

[primesuspect]

Gnome, come up to michigan this january. I will give you a whitewash :D

[Thrax]

Yeah, whitewashes are fun. If you come to Michigan, you have to try one, Gnome.

[GnomeWizardd]

pfft id love to but now that i have my own house money is tight

[primesuspect]

Now that I have my own money, my house is tight. What a coincidence ;D

[bothered]

We hardly ever get snow anymore. When I was young it snowed every year. I remember playing on the local golf course with sledges etc. My 11 year old has seen snow twice, and very thin, temporary snow at that. :mad:

[RWB]

WHat is a white wash? Sounds.... wierd.

[Nomad]

It is where it snows a lot in a short period of time or when a man uses his... You know what nevermind.

[Freemymelody]

:D lots of snow here....can't wait to go snow boarding, skiing and skating...maybe play some hockey! yeah :thumbsup:

[Nomad]

Hockey, how I miss you :(

[Black Hawk]

If I see snow here in PR, you know something's screwed up. ;D Last time I saw snow was the year I moved from Virginia. Loved the thing. Snowball fights, playing in it, watching the dogs play in it. On the downside. Blizzards are no fun. I believe there was one in '93. A crapload of snow that later turned to ice.

[GnomeWizardd]

OMG snowboarding and hockey! your cool!

[primesuspect]

Gnome. Dude......

I just have nothing to say.

No, not that... Just ... "your cool!" I mean... I'm sure there are a hundred people on this site who snowboard and play hockey..... But you don't hear people going "wow you like snowboarding and hockey omg your cool" for those other 99 people.... :wtf:

I got that...I just figured I'd make another joke at his expense. :)


btw:

I'm am one of the "cool" people here...I play hockey and ski :p. woot.

[profdlp]

I'd suggest that we get back on topic, but the last time that happened... :wtf:

My eyes! My eyes! Bothered - how could you! :eek3: ;D ;D

[leishi85]

I love this tshirt that says this following message

[SimGuy]

Want to see the results of lake effect on a winter storm? :)

This is what it looked like on Saturday afternoon here right on the north shore of Lake Ontario. Most of it was ice from the windy conditions blowing water up onto the cement pier (it's underneath that heap of ice/snow), where it froze in -15*C conditions.

20 KM's west of us.... all they got was freezing drizzle.

By Monday night, it was all gone (considering it was above freezing yesterday). Screwed up I tell ya, but makes for lots of snow-days :)

[TBonZ]

Very nice pictures. That shot of the canal with the Parliament buildings is incredible. :thumbsup:

[TheGr81]

w00t! New digital camera! Early Christmas gift for vacation to Orlando tomorrow!! WOOHOO I'M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!

Ahem...

If I can find my santa hat and figure out how to work this SWEET CAMERA! I'll probably post a few pics but I doubt that'll happen until we get back.

[TheGr81]

A quick pic of the front yard... It's a little past 8 now so it's pretty dark.

It's a Canon PowerShot A400. Probably not the best in it's class but perfect for a newbie like me! :D

[entropy]

Haha. Wow. I bet it's like, what, 80*F out, too, huh? :bawling: That's awkward. Seeing all those lights and no snow... ever :(.

Man. We don't have any lights, since we JUST moved, and they're packed away somewhere, so I won't take a pic of our yard at night, lol. But look :( :

[TheGr81]

What are you talking about it's definitely close to 50. Damn cold for me. :-/ I don't go outside without my sweater this time of the year. :)

holy **** i just realized its below freezing here. i think thats the first time this year

[mmonnin]

Hey Gnome, you can have our damn snow. I am sure most of the people here dont want it most of the time. I guess it can snow for Christmas and on the ski resorts but it sucks sometimes.

[Freemymelody]

OHHH! Bothered I couldn't sleep well lastnight...it those pictures...
those pictures are well glued to my head...what were you thinking?

I'm still LMAO ;D :eek3:

[profdlp]

Sorry prof, bathe your eyes on these beauties.
Much better. Your other pics were hilarious, but I think the concept may have lost something when undertaken by someone who, shall we say, lacks a certain endearing pixielike quality... :D

You could have at least put a shirt on. :wtf:

We're travelling for Christmas this year and so did our gift opening this morning (guess how early? ;D ). I got the Nirvana box set, which I asked for, a Fender t-shirt, some really nice leather gloves, this and that and, oh yes, a hat :thumbsup: Kids got it, likely over strong objections from mrs keto - I've wanted one for years but she hates em. It likely won't come off for a while ;D

I just threw this together in about 20 mins. (Probably slow but I suck at paint)

Just make it an artistic statement...most people get lost in the overbearing commerciality of christmas (symbolized by the bright christmas tree), while you feel that people should be focusing on what is closest to them, family (symbolized by the carpet, which keeps us comfortable).

Who the hell needs a tree for Christmas anyway! :aol:

Hehe... By the time we got back down here from Orlando there was really no point in looking (most places we closed or out of nice trees by then) for a nice tree and then decorating it. Besides, most of us got our presents early, so there was nothing to put under the tree by that time. So that's why I never posted a pic of our tree... We don't have one. :hiding:

need some translation.

Pfft. And you claim to love children, Leishi. Shame on you. I can't stand the little buggers and even I can read that. It says "To Santa, these are for you".
