At least we know it isn’t limited to producing silent movies.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
That’s inconceivable.
My name is Astrognash. That is not.a.camera. Prepare to die.
Please take a picture of my dear sweet Farm Boy. The music always plays when he obeys my wishes.
Well, that, or they are being too precise.

Anybody want a peanut?
Maybe it only plays Kodachrome by: Paul Simon…
Or the Rush album Moving Pictures.
Or anything by Images in Vogue or Aztec Camera.
Poor Ringo. Still can’t get any respect.
Oh, that’s Ringo Dangerfield…

And Angel, thank you for the good wishes the other day. The new manager wants me to be present for all the “moving parts” of my section, which means a 16 hour day followed by a 17 hour day the next. By the time I can get here, I’m usually too BBQed to do more than lurk. Luckily, just time cards today.
I’m feeling emo – can it be Pictures of You by The Cure?
‘Smile’ by Charlie Chaplin
edit: So much for not nesting correctly.. so, smile!
I don’t know what the problem is. The camera works well! Those shots of the record player are amazing quality.
And I dub him: Thod.
Welcome, Thod.
I like that name. I like it a lot. It’s bursting with full-bodied derp. I’m going to steal that for a story.
Coming soon to a short story near you – It’s Thod the Ferretless One!
I Thod I taw a putty tat!
And his cartilaginous sidekick Norbert the Bucktoothed Shark.
That is just freaky, ESP.
That’s an Alabammer shark, that is.
And it is time to take a new group picture….
This would be the perfect camera for that lion safari in India I’ve always wanted to go on! I bet it would capture every stripe perfectly.
Only if you hold it sideways, otherwise the needle just zips right to the end.
Ah, this must be one of those really old experimental cameras from back in the early 1900s that stored your images on vinyl as acoustic representations of what the shutter was looking at. The idea was that playing them back on a Victrola with your eyes closed was supposed to evoke the same imagery in your head, but most people found it only worked well if you wedged your head right in the bell and let the sound conduct through your skull. This tended to cause no few headaches and oftentimes — due presumably to differences in density, shape and cavitation acoustics between one person’s skull and another — caused people to see their own deaths, see everything in Cerulean blue for weeks, or think they were Blind Willie Johnson.
I understand The Mars Volta used one of these to compose all of their music by taking acoustic pictures of each other naked.
“I understand The Mars Volta used one of these to compose all of their music by taking acoustic pictures of each other naked.”
That explains some of the ugly dudes who play Scandinavian death metal.

ESP, is Nipper your great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great granddoggie?
He’s a very distant relative, yeah. As I understand it, he went a little funny in the head after bone conducting How Much Is That Doggie In the Window? one too many times. They say he chased his tail until he finally caught and ate it. After that he was fitted with a cone to prevent him from harming himself. He ended up breaking his neck trying to twist his head around and shove it back in.

Hey, wait a damn minute! What kind of crappy camera is he selling here? It doesn’t even look like it plays MP3s! Rip Off!
I know, I tried to play my 35mm film and it only had a setting for 33 1/3 and 45.
Yeah, this isn’t the better model that had the 78 setting. It could use the faster film and take better action shots — all to the tune of Yakkety Sax.
See, that bottom area is where the little imp lives, and when you ring the Bell and Howell, the imp looks out of the special aperture and quickly paints what he sees. Then you open the top part and take out the picture. It’s magic!
I thought Twoflower’s camera would be a little smaller than that.
This must be the home entertainment version.
I’m not so sure about that. I don’t think my house would find it all the fun.
The shelves are for the extra pink paint, should he ever find himself in Ankh-Morpork again.
It’s a solar-powered tea kettle built by Bloody Stupid Johnson.
(Have I mentioned how happy I am that I’ve started reading the Discworld books?)
SJ, uh, I mean, GC, I think it came up in the conversation. 8) Oh, the places you’ll go!
I actually got sad when I finished the ones I ordered because I didn’t have anymore to read. I’m going to the library tomorrow to see if I can find some to tide me over until I can afford to buy some more books.
Dang! Wish we lived closer, would loan you the whole set! One at a time, of course. And not Going Postal for a few more weeks. 8)
Is he related to the quartz dinosaurs in my TV?
That was supposed to go under Windy’s post. I see this is going to be an interesting day.
Welcome to YSaC, Chimi! 8) The imp was imported from the Disc World, which is even more appropriate in this setting.
I’m very quickly running out of mexican themed dishes.

Wonder if it plays videodiscs?
CJ, enjoy your solo day in the box. Sorry the whole comment wouldn’t fit in there. Also, Mindfield wanted to leave you a little present. You’ll find it in there somewhere.
Assuming it doesn’t run away. Those furry little flibbertigibbets don’t do “sit” very well.
I hope Mindfield’s ‘present’ isn’t anything like what my dogs leave for me.
I’m with you Laurel; I hate it when my Dogs give me ugly Christmas ties too.
Mindfield’s minefield?
I believe we call that “Bombdude”.
Bazinga
Hmmm, can’t figure out if I’m supposed to be insulted “Bombdude=doggie droppings” or feel heroic “Oh no, a minefield!! Call Bombdude!”
I’ll have to give this some more comtempl… “Oh look!! something shiny!!”
It’s the big green suit, it confuses them.
I don’t know, it was that squirrel suit that always confused me.
*picks up a VERY unhappy Winston*
For me??? Mini-tanks!!
Busy day, running around like a mad woman (fitting)…have a great weekend!
You can’t take Winston without Pickles.
That’s certainly not what one lady thought. Now she’s a guinea pig, too. (Who may be making an unexpected return in a future episode.)
I thought she turned into a hamster?
Er … hamster. Yes. Yes, she did. Hamster.
“guinea pig” was a typo.
Hamster is my hipster cousin…
Figures I can’t remember where I parked my car half the time but I can remember a trivial fact from a story I read however long ago it was.
I thought they were “Genie pigs”. Or was I dyslexic for that part of the story?
They are, but in part 2 the feckless woman who takes Pickles home and doesn’t quite know exactly what he is unwittingly makes a proper wish on him which results in her being turned into what she thinks he is — a hamster.
[OT] Introduced my work friends to Cake Wrecks… hilarity has ensued. [/OT]
I made a cake wreck once. A triple-layer B-52 cheesecake (with real Bailey’s, Grand Marnier and Kahlua) smothered in home-made cream cheese icing. It probably wouldn’t have been so bad if I had 3 of the same sized springform pans, but I had 3 different sizes, two of which were the cheap aluminum types and one was a more expensive one with a glass bottom, which tended to heat a little differently.
Don’t get me wrong, it was sphincter-tighteningly delish, it just looked like a lopsided tiered wedding cake or something.
Sphincter Clench is IF’s new… uhh…
Gotta go.
Sphincter Clench for today’s band album?
***cough***
Butthole Surfers cover band
***cough***
And there I go again. At some point I will actually learn.
My dad made a cake wreck once. He tried to bake a banana cake from a recipe my great grandma (we called her Gramma Nana) had. The cake turned out more like crusty brownies.
Sphincter Clench is IF’s “Fists of Fury” movie reenactment (a la Rocky Horror) ensemble. 8)
I thought it was IF’s new Butthole Surfers’ cover band.
Sorry, I’m not looking for a camera. If only you had a classic record player, then I’d be interested. Bummer.
pssssst
I’d take that camera up there for a cool $60. I think you might be able to swap out some parts and make it work for you.
😉
My camera goes all the way up to eleven!!
SpaceBug, that comment didn’t get the respect it deserves! I’m cranking up the adores to eleven. I mean, you’re jamming around at ten and you need that extra push, where do you go? Eleven. That’s right. Ha!
BTW, I dropped that at rehearsal last night and only one guy got it. Just another wisp of brilliance dissipating into the ether. Ho hum.
I adore your adoration, Corey.
Messrs Bell ‘n’ Howell had been working on a contraption to fly a person ‘some distance’ when they discovered that the Wright brothers had done so three years earlier. Not to be outdone, they began work on another idea of theirs, the ‘pea-type nut’ encapsulator. On finding that Mother Nature had previously perfected the process, they realized that they were on the wrong track and although they knew that poltergeists make up the principal type of spontaneous material manifestation, they hired P.T. Bridgeport as an idea man (or bear, as the case may be) to keep from being embarrassed again.
Bell became inspired, “I know” he shouted, “let’s fly a man’s voice ‘some distance'”.
“Been done,” retorted Bridgeport. “Years back if’n I recollects proper”. “I’ve four of those out back if’n you’d like to buy one”.
“Well then, how’s about we fly a man’s picture ‘some distance'” piped in Howell.
“Waaaaait a minnit” drawled Bridgeport. “Not a man’s pitchure, ladies’ pitchures, and nekkid at that”.
Thus, the internet was conceived.
Followed quickly by the discovery of Rule 34.
[half serious wistful pondering]
Y’know, that would make an interesting cabinet to put a USB turntable into. Then put the wireless hub and GoFlex drive underneath, and have room for the bodsged cassette deck too.
Add some discrete castors underneath, and it would be a cool item to wheel to people’s houses to convert their out-of-date media into digital files . . .
That, or do the “Trash to Treasure” thing, and have a dummy turntable concealing the all-digital wireless media center within. Rig it to have the lid open and some lights go on when activated by the remote, too . . .
[/friday musings]
My first thought was that a steampunker would probably buy this and turn it into an iPod dock, but I like your idea better.
Hoo! Steampunk would make a cool them, too.
Would want to be a careful balance of art deco elegance with that edwardian-tech touch.
See, I know of a wood-paneled office this would be a good “fit” for, if refinished and repurposed. Hmm…
[completely OT]
I’ll be needing to free-cycle/rehome some items by way of CL here soon.
I’m somewhat worried that I will not be able to properly list the items though.
So, I may need y’all’s help in sparkying up the ads.
Something about wanting to find other homes for maybe-working dryers and maybe-working printers (and a couple of “parts only’ printers) being a narrow-enough niche market to have to appeal to the Spark’s out there.

[OT] Our intern brought us all Big Hunk candy bars today after lunch. The ‘that’s what she said’ jokes have been flying. [/OT]

CJ, CJ, do you have the helmet and the Kevlar vest? All right, then! Punchity Punch Punch!
G’Night, Wheeling!
A man from the city was driving by an orchard and saw the farmer. He pulled over and said, “You farmers don’t have as much education as city folk. I have a degree in agriculture. I can tell you how to get 30% more apples out of your trees.”
The farmer said, “Well, that would be some trick, seems how those are tigers.”
That’s a freaking huge leather case.
(If anyone already said that, I’m just reading comments and trying to catch up to the current ad, I mean no disrespect.)
