Plan B Forum

I took a photo of myself with my iPhone. It's pretty scary. You can tell by the lines on my forehead that I'm in deep thought, as usual. I have no idea why I'm posting this. It might have some odd connection to Lord Jim's passing.

Yannow Joe - - You're not the only one here mourning the loss of our dear friend.

I think many posters here feel his loss and addition to all the other shyt that's been going on - -I think many here are on edge.

This includes me.

I think we can best honor Lord Jim's memory by remembering all he stood for,

I'm going to dig out my black velvet image of Ronald Reagan and display it proudly in my living room.

That’s the spirit, Dale! It’s funny but for years I’ve not been able to think of Reagan without being reminded of Jim. I’m sure I’m not the only one who does that. And you’re right about people here being on edge. These are strange days indeed.

Not a bit like I pictured you Joe, but there again, neither was Jim...

I miss him too but I wouldn't go that far.

Yo Joe, is this really you, or just more eye candy for Scooter?

Surely, it's Only Wan Cannoli?

Ditto.

Seeing some of the folks here who I’ve only seen in my mind’s eye is revelatory - had the same experience friending folks on Facebook.

Knowing what some look like in real life versus the image that they attempt to project here is also revelatory - and sometimes a great source of amusement. (You know who you are.)

Well this is the first time i’ve Seen a picture of Joe that didn’t look like he was desperately trying to not look like Richard Dreyfus.

Monkey See, Monkey Do...

Hey, who knows when I'll be making a stop at Willoughby?

Edited: I've been telling people I ain't going out silently. Yep, here I am. Behind all of this, and in front of all of this, this is my story. Warts and all.

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."

No, it looks as if he's in the closet.

Now let's not be too hasty, nor unkind. Joe might very well be standing in his great room, or bathroom.

Joe looks similar to what I envisioned (if he didn't have the beard), Ray a bit different.

But we can now just load pictures as an attachment, instead of the cumbersome posting on a public site and linking?

Hey, what do you mean by that?

I was in my garage and I don't look like Richard Dreyfus. I'm not surprised by RayThom's face. It's kinda how I pictured him.

Not sure what you are getting at, LR. I'll post a random image below - actually it's my father's landing craft LCT2302 on Utah beach, June 1944.

What do you see - or rather what don't you see? Do you have to click on something? When I do 'Preview' I just see an image and some text: nothing more, nothing less. When Photobucket went pay only, I moved to Imgur. I'm sure I pay for it with clicks in some way but it appears to be free.

I think he just means that you're not as ugly as you look, Ray.

Yes. You can now use the "Attachments" tab below but the tab only shows when you're in "Full Editor & Preview" mode.

That make me all warm inside. That's what my parents used to tell me all the time.

You look a lot like a guy I worked with in the 70s. His name was Don Tracy and he was from Ireland. Who'da thunk you'd look Irish?
