Hey Garbo, on DSLRs: Canon tends to have the edge in picture clarity, Nikon is awesome because you can use pre-DSLR lenses on your DSLR. They're both pretty solid. Also, these interchangeable lens compact digital cameras that don't have the bulky SLR element are worth considering:

I'd also recommend looking at lenses with a 1.4 aperture or larger for low light performance and dramatic bokeh, the latter which is surprisingly hard to achieve in the digital format.

Forgot how long the Litany of Saints was.

Will not recite again with sore throat.

Thanks! I just passed that along to her. :)

I AM BACK. AND. I HAVE PILLZ HERE.

In regard to your voicemail, my Good Reverend, I did indeed see those maps, and fully concur with your postulated theorem.
I already greeted you, but OH HAI PHOXXY!

Yeah, so I spent a year worried about Dr James Semaj, after his disappearance.

Then it turns out he's been avoiding us in favor of Facebook.

Yay.

TGRR,
Isn't worried anymore.  Fuck that guy.

Oh. Well. Glad he's ok at any rate. Why'd he bounce though?

Because he just disappeared without warning.

Yeah, turns out that he was 17, and when he asked to be on the demented mailing list, he failed to mention his exact age, or the fact that his parents apparently read all of his mail before they give it to him.

So he was banned (by his folks) from posting here until he turned 18.

Well, he turned 18 a few months later, and then didn't bother coming back.  Then he visited not long ago, PM'd me about what happened, ignored my friend request, refused to post, and settled in at Cram's FB board (you know, the ones that aren't allowed to post here or whatnot because it might be disloyalty to Cram).

So I've been worried about him all this time for nothing.  So has Phox, IIRC.

So screw him and everyone else that decided that they're too good for us.
