ZBB member photos, part 5. (Something for the weekend, sir?)

looks like you're standing at the site of the Patterson-Gimlin film

[Izambri]

It's behind that tree. I see it, I see it!

[pharazon]

Pharazon: When I saw your pic, I immediately thought "Cathbad" (which is either a good or a bad thing). 'Tis a nice picture, though... where was it taken?

Around here

[Torco]

What's will all those trees ?

[Astraios]

It's called a forest.

[Torco]

I mean the ded wanz

[pharazon]

They got cocky.

[Radius Solis]

It's driftwood. Full-tree driftwood. This is typical of Pacific Northwest beaches in their natural condition. The trunks take centuries to rot away, so at any one time, there's at least half a millennium's worth of trees blown over by storms laying around on the beach.

[Torco]

thanks, Radius, I always noticed those in movies about canada and trees and fishing.

[Kereb]

Yeah, logs are part of every single beach in the PNW. I suspect that some municipalities even add logs to public beaches where they don't naturally wash up, just because people are so used to them as beach furniture.

EDIT: but now that I think about it, I don't imagine we even have any beaches where logs don't wash up. I spent this past weekend with some friends out on one of the gulf islands and sure enough all the beaches had logs all over the place.

[Torco]

what's with your trees, dudes, here you very rarely see a tree on a beach.
do you add like potassium benzoate to them ?

[Kereb]

those ones in phar's pic are probably just dead trees doing their dead tree thing
but on beaches on major rivers and at river deltas like the Fraser you get logs washing up that are lost from log booms / timber rafts and they are indeed treated lumber

[Torco]

oh, so its a testament to the efficiency of the wood industry
how cool xD

[Risla]

why hair why

[Nesescosac]

Whoa, I just saw that on r/2X.

[dhok]

Five years here and I haven't put up a single picture of myself. Very well. Here is a picture of me in The World's Bitchingest Six-Euro Overcoat. I found it today at a thrift store in Helsinki for, as you'd expect, six euros. Kudos to Nae for telling me where to find the store. It is also a shot of my hair acting up, as it usually does. I'm told it looks good curly but I'm not sure...

[Tropylium]

…since when are you in Helsinki?

(and are any of you attending Dead Uralic Languages Memorial Day on Thursday?)

You look like a spy from the sixties.

[Qwynegold]

Huh, Dhokarena looks kinda similar to me.

[Risla]

Whoa, I just saw that on r/2X.

Guess who posted that. :p

[Radius Solis]

Risla. That picture. You... with hair like that and an expression like that, all you need is a blood-dripping knife and some stigmata and you could star in another terrible Blair Witch Project sequel.

(This is intended as a compliment.)

[Lithray]

Trying to get into your pants Gulliver

That will most certainly do.

[Bristel]

Ok, just noticed how terrible the quality of these photos at this size... :-/
