Picture this! The all new picture thread!

[Ruaidhri]

So, I climbed the CN Tower stairs on Thursday, and finished with a time of 21:19, well under my goal of 25 minutes.

I've never done the climb (and I probably never will, considering that I've had to visit a cardiologist twice in the last couple of months), but I've seen people wearing their t-shirts and I think your time is the lowest I've ever seen. Congratulations!

Do you know offhand what the record is?

My understanding is that the record is 7 minutes and 52 seconds. Jesus Christ.

ETA: Oops, posted that before realizing someone else provided the answer. Four people from my company beat my time, Trekker, but I was still really happy.

Awesome air show pictures!

Look at the beauty form:

Watch out Tiger, I'm coming for your game and your wife.

Palm Springs?

Three Corsairs and two Mustangs?! Wow.

Not Corsairs, they are F8F Bearcats. It was the second aircraft to be flown by the Blue Angels. I was hoping there would be atleast one F4U Corsair there, maybe next time.

I still have more pictures to crop and edit that I might post later.

I wasn't completely off. I was thinking Hellcats at first glance.

I may not always comment, but I enjoy seeing all of the aircraft shots.

As promised, I have gotten a haircut. And it looks like this. Don't mind how stupid I look, I make odd expressions when it's as freaking hot as it is today.

Yeah, that seems like a much more reasonable length.

Although if you told a complete stranger you just got a haircut, they'd probably give you funny looks.

Haircut looks good, Goji.

Totally badass outfit in the final photo, Ria.

Badass, you say? You're encouraging me...

 

[Australis]

Wow, ria, lookin' good! You look like you're going to audition for a 21st Century version of 'Modesty Blaise'.

You got it, that's the Citrus course in La Quinta. Good eye!

I've always wanted to go to a wrestling event... when I was in highschool. Oh man, those were the glory days; when Kane FIRST came on the scene. They don't write the scripts like they used to...

I took a few pics of some of the pieces in my collection. These are a fraction of what I have. If you guys are interested, I'll post some more. These are all in 1:6 scale (about 12 inches)

Maxwell Smart, Leon Kennedy, T-800, and Indiana Jones

James Bond through the ages

Two Jokers and two Batmans from The Dark Knight. These are my favorite pieces in my collection

Iron Man Mark III from the film.

 

[Ethros]

^ The last two (Batman & Iron Man) ones look great, but the ones in first two pics just look kinda creepy IMO.
The clothes just don't look right, bit too big. I prefer regular figures to the doll variety

Nice pics... and good seats! I hate WWE sometimes though, all they do is rip off our production values.

The bad thing is with WWE, sometimes they do... recycled to death writing

In your area (well, state) I'd always suggest somewhere like All Pro Wrestling. Small crappy venue, but you'll be guaranteed to have a good night and see some stars before they're famous.

I'm hoping to go check out the US Indies at some stage in the near future.

On a vaguely similar note, after raiding the merch...

...I am not a hat person. After checking my phone after Friday night...

...I am not allowed to smile in photos. And right now...

...I do not have a fun evening ahead

And I am seemingly more likely to talk in pictures today, not words.

If anyone watched it last night and noticed how badly Cena was getting booed - that was me, I started that.

Especially the "BOO!"/"HOORAY!"/"BOO!"/"HOORAY!" part when he was trading punches with Jericho.

The only problem was that I queued up for 20 minutes to buy a Randy Orton T-shirt (which was on display!!!) only to leave with a William Regal one because they'd sold out.

*looks up IMDb*
Sexy sixties spy played by Monica Vitti, with Terrence Stamp as sidekick and Dirk Bogarde as target jewel thief? Cool.

I love Regal. In that company he's like a walking flag.

I've never actually been to a WWE show despite being offered tickets. The biggest had to be WWA but my ex was in charge of the camera so all pics were dreadful.

But... I do have this one from 2002... Audrey wasn't handling the camera, so it came out ok And this from the Raven seminar I attended a few years back.

There's a reason for that. The ones in the last two pics are made by a different (and much much better) company that the ones in the first two pics (except for Leon, which is also made by the second company). Also, trust me when I say the "creepiness" doesn't exist in person. The first company though has evolved a great deal in the years since they made those figures. Indy is one of their recent ones, and far for indicative of their recent quality.

Regal got probably the second best reaction of the night, second only to when Edge did his run in. (Cena - Unpopular, Guy about to smack him in the head with two chairs - Popular)

Nice sausage fest.
