Silly Question.....

Tim Kirkwood · January 12, 2005

But I am kinda poor well I wont say poor just strapped right now. I really want to be "An official Member here" and I need some online storage. Was wondering if there is a way to "earn" a membership to smugmug?

I know its only $30 but hey......lol

If I am crazy then just ignore this thread

Andy · January 13, 2005

tim, you can be an official member at dgrin without having a smugmug account

as to smugmug, remember, with a referral, it's only $25 per year. think of it this way... it's $2 and change a month... less than a dime a day, about 8.3cents a day. surely you can afford 8.3 cents a day ...

finally, if you compete in the challenges and win, you can earn a $40 gift certificate, in lieu of that, we would gladly provide you a subscription.

but, since i'm feeling really generous today, i tell you what:

if you can get humungus to carry wxwax for 1/4 mile on his humungus-oid shoulders for 15 minutes at yosemite this may, i'll sponsor your subscription.

my advice: start figuring out how many of them little dragon critters you could send baldy's way. maybe a case of that vegimite smear, too. oh and the skin of a dozen dead animals (all different species).

stay tuned.

Vegemite smear ???

Fella you cant call the worlds greatest spread a smear. I really think you should try a little. It will put hair on the soles of your feet my friend. A spoonfull of vegemite & i can lift the front of a car off the ground.

The dead animals i have but they are in the fridge.....skinned.

gubbs · January 13, 2005

Humungus, if camera prices in Oz are anything like they are in the UK you could pay for your airfair with the savings you'll make on the gear. Especially if you take something back to ebay....and a present for the missus of course

Come on! yer know yer wanna!!

Im really really wary of ebay mate. There is some prize rock dwellers in there these days. I am leaning the way of buying local & getting a warranty thats 5 mins drive down the road...not in hong kong.

The camera is easy...either 2 contenders will do a great job but the glass is going to take some time to choose.

Humungus, I think what he meant about Ebay was you buy somethign in the states and then sell it on the Aussie ebay site for a profit.

I dont really think I need hair on the soles of my feet. Would it put hair BACK on my head? That might be worth the import duties.

But i would love to meet you in Yosemite.

Is the use of drugs and alcohol prohibited?

Gus...from one sparky to another.....(see above)

I wont be in yosemite, its my turn to feed the mouse that spins the generator wheels here in cincinnati that weekend.

I do teach a 3 hour digital class at a adult education center for 30/hr. But my last 3 classes were canc. for weather problems.

But I need to sign up for real. Runnin outta hard drive space here.:D

Tim, come down to Davidson, North Carolina, get yourself 30 minutes of training, and work at the parties here this weekend. Some of the eating houses (we can't have sorrorities because of some law about whore houses) are paying $100 for 3 hours of making sure nobody dies.

Training? What how to keep your eyes open?

Eating houses?

my 30/hr for teaching basic photography skills and basic PS is pretty easy. And I am in the state teachers retirement fund....if that means anything:D

And not being really sure what your calling an eating house, how do you die from it?

Eating house is the version of a sorority that my college has. Apparently there is some NC law saying that if a certain number of girls live in one place it is automatically a whore house, so we can't have sororities. How do you die from it? Well, at college parties (much to my chagrin) certain fluids are consumed in excess. The training basically is they tell you how to keep your eyes open and then you take a quiz asking how to keep your eyes open. Not literally, but it's that easy. It's the easiest way to make money, except driving a minibus type thing for $14/hour might be easier, which is what I do, since I don't like dealing with drunks).

Not trying to be a butthead, or anything, but didn't you just post that you upgraded to PS CS? I guess we all have priorities.

yes we do lol why store a picture I cant edit lol

This was really just meant to be a stupid thread. I know its only 30 bucks and I plan to sign up soon. I just got a new external hard drive for Christmas so I have a bit of room yet. And my high speed internet comes with a small amount of web space that I use for posting.

Just talkin to hear myself talk I guess.

No...they really oughta start giving the so called risk managers a uniform though. There are guaranteed to be plain clothes cops at a party though, and it's always fun to see what happens when a drunk shoves/yells at one not knowing he's a cop.

Silly Question.....
