The same teeth. If ever either of you wants to fake your own death, kidnap the other and burn his corpse. The dental records will do the work for you.

So my ship is crossing the equator and making way to Capetown, South Africa. Though I'm not on it right now because I'm gonna on the second half of the transit to take the ship to Vietnam/Singapore. They had some big ceremony for crossing the equator and one of the mates I work with took some pictures.

This is the captain, captain Scott. He's cool as fuck, dressed up as king neptune. That man knows his shit but hardly has to show it because he gets paid six figures to just chill all day.

From left to right: Brandon, one of the safety techs he's supposed to make sure we all work safe. Ray, he's the mate taking the other pics. trying to get his captains license right now, I hear its pretty hard. He's a real smart guy and knows his shit and he failed it once already. The big red black dude is Roscoe, he's an Able Bodied Seamen like me and we work together most of the time. He's a cool old dude I think he's like fifty eight we're both trying to get our mates license.

I guess that's kind of understandable. Prog. rock, good prog. rock, at that, is supposed to be kind of grating, and it really isn't for everyone.

I don't care if you like rush but don't go around making comments like this. "rush? you must not be capable of appreciating their music, for there is no other rational reason anyone could ever dislike such a magnificent band"
sorry if this is ornery I'm sick.
-
grammatically incorrect t-shirts are the bread and butter of indie wrestling promotions
-
I'll watch the video another time.- and it's currently the style to wear your dress shirt untucked if you're wearing it with jeans, as opposed to slacks where you tuck it in.

i don't think invoking trend works in this situation as it is a shitty trend. makes you look like you listen to pixies

to your credit, terror, that is a well-fitted shirt.

I just bought the beginnings of a new wardrobe, maybe I will post some photos here soon. I was hating the feeling of hesitation when going to a nice restaurant or bar without the "appropriate" attire.

It's a very recent development. Maybe it means I'm becoming an old man or gay, but I've started to become very clothes conscious, like at 23 I should at least attempt to grow out of wearing T-shirts and hoodies everyday.

So we had a meet last weekend in Helsinki. I don't have a lot of pictures, but here's from left to right your saltw dudes ds/guana/ramirez/ramci/dada, plus ruben taking the picture. Look at us we're having so much fun

You look like a bunch of nihilistic homeboys.
Where are you going on that train?
-
I just love Ramci's subtle smile. That dude's a charmer. Also I hadn't washed my hair in a while since I had been on a trip which is why I look like a cat toy.

aawwww well that's just precious -- the twinsies have matching hats~

we also have matching boxers
also im hiding ha ha......

Dada looks like a male clothing model.

Dada looks like a male clothing model.
I think it's the glasses.
-
o hai
-
I'm dissapointed, I've always imagined Dada to be really to quite tall. Or maybe it's Ramci dwarfing everybody in the picture.
-
I think Dada just looks like he's from the wrong century like not to sound gay but he looks like a RENAISSANCE PAINTING or something (https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/wedemandhtml.com/tmp/dadaknight.jpg)(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/www.brianmicklethwait.com/culture/mdavid.gif)
it might just be FLOWING LOCKS but I dunno he also has naturally occuring SFUMATO in that picture
also Terrorantula is Daniel Tammet
-
I'm ADHD, not autistic. Also I'm not very good with numbers. :P But I never heard of him before, or sfumato, until now. Also, geodude, did you mean the band or the fey?
-
Jesus christ that renaissance comparison is scary.
My idea of Dada being tall is clearly based on him being a well-spoken authority figure on the forums.
-
Even if he's not tall he is handsome . . . <3
-
yum
-
Wait, are you saying Dada is cute or that you just ate Sredni Vashtar?
-
I'm ADHD, not autistic.
are you sure you mean this? attention deficit means you have difficulty paying attention, not that you don't recieve enough
-
I wanna agree with Terrorantula but then I get the feeling that who do I think I am, I'm not even gay, who am I to comment on men's looks.
Damn it's difficult to be a man.
-
Who are you? You're a human being with an aesthetic sense. Don't confuse admiration of beauty with sexual attraction. Admiring Michelangelo's David doesn't make you gay, nor does a woman's enthusiasm over the Mona Lisa make her a lesbian. Recognizing and admiring beauty is inherent in humanity, whether it be in art or human beings. . . So relax.
And FS, trust me, I've been diagnosed.
-
haha I didn't even mean it that way you guys I meant more Dada looks not real or something. If a woman looked even vaguely like the Mona Lisa I would freak out too because it would be uncanny. Entertaining the idea that David would just be hanging out somewhere on a bus etc. But yeah I.. kind of meant for it to sound gay too
-
do the simularities include regularly wearing just fig leaves? i am probably okay with that
-
nor does a woman's enthusiasm over the Mona Lisa make her a lesbian.
WHEW
(except she's not very attractive so it really just means she has bad taste)
-
Admiring Michelangelo's David doesn't make you gay
It does if you stare at the penis for an excessive length of time.

not a strong argument when you can't select a classic female beauty...

Does The Callipygean Venus count? :P :P OR Botticelli's work?
What I really hear is that he's afraid to give another guy a complement for fear of "sounding gay." There're a hell of a lot worse things to be mistaken for.
If you get too concerned about what others think of you, you'll never get anywhere. Use tact but don't be afraid to speak your mind.
-
What I really hear is that he's afraid to give another guy a complement for fear of "sounding gay." What, pray tell, is so horrific about that?
No no, it was about the idea that only gays can have an eye for that, which is ridiculous and not true, but is a kind of a norm or stereotype and goes to show how men seem to always think about beauty/handsomeness in a sexual way. Or something like that. I'm pretty sure I had a coherent idea about this back then but I can't catch it now. It wasn't about "sounding gay" though.

OR rather- as I'd originally read it-that only gays are supposed to have an eye for that.
This can even lead to the fallacy of affirming the consequent.
"If a guy is gay, he finds other men attractive ." (If P, then Q)
"I find other men attractive. (Q)
"Therefore I must be gay." ( Therefore P)
Which is hogwash.
Hmm. . .
-

Most ancient statues originally had penises, then the victorians chopped them off, can we do that instead?
-
whoever said whatever was probably making a joke
Does The Callipygean Venus count? :P :P OR Botticelli's work?
that's more on the mark but really I think you'd have trouble finding anything to compare to the greek/roman/renaissance sculptures of males, since the greeks were obsessed with men/boys and everyone else was copying them. no one was really that good at sculpting or painting females
-
OR rather- as I'd originally read it-that only gays are supposed to have an eye for that
Dude, as much as I appreciate your like FIGHTING APPARENT HOMOPHOBIC COMMENTS, saying 'gays' is just as bad. It's no different than saying 'blacks' to describe a group of people.
It's gay people/gay guy etc, not gays. Gay isn't a noun, it's an adjective. You can't be A GAY and the multiple certainly isn't 'gays'.
-
Faust you are the first person I've seen say anything about "gays". Maybe it depends on how you say it (THE GAYS) but I have never seen anyone complain about it before, and that includes THE GAYS.
-

I don't know what's a joke anymore, but this is scary strange.
-
I felt kind of funny about the words being used that way until I saw the phrase "gays and lesbians" appear in places like the Washington Blade, by which point i shrugged it off.
-
I don't think there's anything wrong with saying gays as long as you aren't doing it like in an INTENTIONALLY bad way. It's just a convenient plural.
-
Too much talking not enough pic's.

Maybe that's because most people don't complain about shit for fear of being a TROUBLEMAKER or whatever, or PUSHING THEIR LUCK in society.
I find 'gays' incredibly offensive really, even though the majority of the time it's said is in a well-meaning way.
Many sitcoms I've seen reference the idea that referring to gay people as 'a gay' or 'gays' is ridiculous, even back in the 90s with like LARRY SANDERS and shit - (Hank Kingsley: "He's a gay!" Larry Sanders: "What are you, Italian or something? 'he'sa gay!'"). It's not a new idea that referring to a group of people by an adjective alone is shitty. Hey look at all the fats, all the blacks, all the shorts, all the disabled (another phrase people use that, if you attend sensitivity training, you're told that it's offensive).
I totally understand that it MIGHT seem like nitpicking to someone outside of the specific group the term is applied to, or indeed many gay people who probably don't give a shit either way, but using the word in that way is not only offensive on a personal level, but also grammatically unsound. Hey, look at that big. I have to get me one of those tasty.
I've had a few conversations about this recently, a lot of the time about using the adjective 'gay' to describe things in place of the word 'shitty' or 'rubbish'. I'm less harsh on that merely because it's mostly children who do this and it'd be fighting an unwinnable war against the immature psyche and world of humour. However, I do still find this less offensive (gay as in another word for shitty) than the term 'gays' or 'a gay', mostly due to the fact that it removes the noun from the sentence, thereby removing the PERSON/PEOPLE the comment itself is about.
I'm gay, I'm not A gay. I'm short, I'm not A short. I'm white, I'm not A white. I'm British, I'm not A British. I'm pretty damn sexy, I'm not A sexy. I'm a British citizen, a short man, a sexy mother fucker, and Paolo has just told me I'm a douchebag, but those all end in nouns because they're actual things rather than qualities of a thing.
I felt kind of funny about the words being used that way until I saw the phrase "gays and lesbians" appear in places like the Washington Blade, by which point i shrugged it off.
I see it misused constantly, often by gay people themselves. Louis Spence, a motherfucking, Uncle Tom, seventies throwback wished Sky TV viewers a 'Merry Christmas to all you men, women, and gays!' It still doesn't make it any less ignorant, and pricks like that do a fuckload to play up to the gay stereotypes that really hurt people like me. Mother fucker.
Lesbian IS a noun however, and always has been. A gay woman is a lesbian. They aren't a gay though, as no one is a gay. Unless they're so gay that their very act of being has annihilated all other aspects of themselves, including their corporeal existence as a physical object, replacing it just with the concept of homosexuality itself. In that case they ARE probably 'a gay'.
I don't think there's anything wrong with saying gays as long as you aren't doing it like in an INTENTIONALLY bad way. It's just a convenient plural.
Well no, but you don't have a vested interest either way. Most people I grew up with don't have a problem with referring to lesbians as dykes either, or ALL asian people as 'pakis'. I'm making a comparison here for effect - I understand that those latter two terms used by people are used INTENTIONALLY to be offensive. But saying 'gays' and 'a gay' is equally offensive to someone who IS gay: I don't speak for all gay people by any means, but I DO speak as a gay guy.
It also creates this idea that you can refer to and sum up the entirety of an individual in a single adjective, specifically one that doesn't automatically impact upon their personality.
I'm a person first. Gay comes a long way down the list after that.
-
I do still find this less offensive (gay as in another word for shitty) than the term 'gays' or 'a gay', mostly due to the fact that it removes the noun from the sentence, thereby removing the PERSON/PEOPLE the comment itself is about.
I don't think "a gay" is the same thing as "gays" and yeah A GAY is never said in a nice way. Also you really are less offended by using gay to mean terrible than this? Idk this just seems really overly sensitive to me and I don't think it's the same as blacks or w/e. Difference perspective I guess!
I mean I guess where you compare it to saying blacks I compare it to saying Asians, it's just specifying a group but not in an offensive/hateful way.

Yeah, I'm less offended due to the context of the use - by ignorant children who aren't expected to know better.
Most people would say that it isn't equal to blacks, and this is something that bothers me a lot. I wonder why? Both are used in EXACTLY the same way - to refer to a group or individual by an adjective that sums them up.
In terms of being over-sensitive, I'm not like CRYING or LOSING SLEEP over this, or even challenging people on it when I hear it at school or in the street. But on the internet, where it's much easier to discuss this kind of thing, it's hard not to explain when you disagree with something, especially if it is directly applicable to yourself.
-
I didn't see that you posted again but I added somethin to my post about the blacks thing so REREAD I guess!
-
YES I DID DO NOT WORRY!!!
I mean I guess where you compare it to saying blacks I compare it to saying Asians, it's just specifying a group but not in an offensive/hateful way.
I get what you mean on this, but Asians IS actually a noun. Asian is a noun as well as an adjective. Black isn't. Just like an American. But not a Chinese, or a Dutch.
EDIT: I said 'he's an asian' a few times and it didn't sound quite right to me so MAYBE I AM WRONG about azns.

Faust, i am very active in the LGBTQ community, and i've never heard anyone complain about the term "gays". also i don't think it's fair to include "gays" and "a gay" in the same category of offensiveness. "gays" and "blacks" are not generally used offensively-- they are used very often by people who are personally part of those demographics. like Velf said, they are convenient plurals. i would say the shift towards an accepting use of the terms is due to the constantly-changing nature of language. as collective mindsets change, the language of a culture changes also. words only have the power that you give them. that's why the gay community has worked over the years to change the term "queer" into not being offensive.
i am pansexual (gender-blind), having been in relationships with guys and girls and in-betweens. i have been called a dyke/lesbo/queer weirdo/greedy bisexual/deviant and all those other offensive and inaccurate things. i understand your concern about offensive language. i have a vested interest in such things-- however, i don't think it's fair to say someone DOESN'T have a vested interest just because they are not personally gay/lesbian/whatever. it's pretty apparent that SW here is largely liberal and that most of us do not ever intend to offend others with politically incorrect terms.
but yeah. i am way more offended by people saying "that's so gay" (using "gay" as a substitute for "stupid" or "bad") than i am by people saying "we must promote equal rights for all gays and lesbians". and it's definitely not just children who use "gay" in the negative sense; i most often see it used by college students and beyond. but yeah... i like Terrorantula's views on all this stuff.

i think the difference might be that train photo is the first one i've seen of him not taken by an awful webcam lit solely by the glow of the monitor

What if it was the other way around and the recent pictures just happened to be taken under favorable conditions?

I got a cool pic of me workin' on a boat, mounted on a big boat, thats being pulled by another boat. Can't upload it till I get back home though :(
-
instead of pictures we should just describe how we look.
i'm very pale and underweight and I look like I am probably going to die. also I look like I might be balding but that is the way I have always looked. i have a really shitty hairline and everyone on my dad's side of the family has it. i also grow out my facial hair randomly. mustaches look really gross on me but sometimes I grow them out anyways because i am lazy fuck.
-
i am skinny but with a slight breastial existence, and a pot belly though i am still skinny and don't understand. I am white and 6'1, with an elongated torso/arms. I have fluffy cloud-like hair and glasses. Sometimes i shave, sometimes stubble, sometimes a lazy beard. I tend to wear jeans and shirts and badly roughed up shoes which usually have paint on them. I also have a variety of jackets such as Soviet Army, black leather, brown leather, brown suit jacket (with ripped sleeve and paint on it), two black suit jackets and a cool RAF greatcoat like Captain Jack, which is a major hassel when clubbing!
Essentially I am the biggest stereotipical arty guy there is, which doubled with my pretentious taste in music... means I am a cunt.
-
Kaworu, while I don't mind the use of the term "gays and lesbians' to refer to groups of individuals, I do mind when someone is called "a gay." Please don't.

Old bean, I know I'm not exactly Ramci as far as looks are concerned, but horribly ugly is sort of pushing it!
-
You look ok dude, think he's talking about the facial scars maybe? I had some too from when I was going through that puberty shit but they're all goin away now too and I look boyish like Justin Beiber except blonde and an asshole. Which is why I grow my beard out but it gets itchy and I shave it and look fuckin' twelve again...
GB just doesn't have any regard for your feelings with what he's saying or doesn't know how to put it without sounding like a dickhead?

he's talking about the monitor glow/mac cam combo which is known for making anyone look like salem
I was going to link to a really good gburton video here but she took all her videos down!! :(((((

pay day is bad ass. :)
-
Yeah pay day is the shit. We played for a year a couple times (you play payday by choosing some number of "months" if you havent played it). Playing for a year is pretty boring though, the shorter you play the harder it gets. After a certain amount of time it just comes down to how lucky you were with your deals. I got a pic of my bro and I actually playing it but, it's a pretty terrible pic.
and yeah my mom is awesome as heck.

dress them up in really really slutty lingerae (I think I spelled that wrong), stage them all around your house to make them look as lifelike as possible and then invite your gf or girl you're talking to over and act like you don't notice it at all like its not out of the ordinary.

Its called a shellback ceremony. we had it when we crossed the equator and people used shit they had onboard to dress up for it. Something about amusing king Neptune as an offering to cross the equator. The chief engineer dressed up as king neptune and played king neptune for the shellback ceremony. It was pretty cool to watch but you couldn't get fucked up to do it because you can't have drugs or booze on the ship so I just took pictures because it seemed like the kind of thing you don't do when you're sober and can't use being blitzed as an excuse.

i theorise that to hide from computers, paint yourself blue using paint that shows the least possible illumination differences. use patterns to hide the shapes of your eyes and mouth, especially the corners. pad other areas of your face to protrude like your nose. as you can see, i have taken all possible precautions in the above image.
