First word was supposed to be “now” but it ended up “not” and I didn’t see that it had changed.

Thoughts that for the most part, only people of the same line would understand...
A drunk doctor is annoying everyone in a party until someone made him go home by saying:
"Shut-up or I'll give you a spinal tap through your eyes!"
Several men were asked what do they do to make a living?:
Electrician- " I empower people"
Doctor - "Keep practicing"
Fireman - "Climb the ladder of distress"
Soldier - "Nothing"
Driver - "Stop"
Policemen -"Join the line"
Graphic designer - "Smile & refrain from killing clients"

Researching for a new project; Russian Christmas...
It is weird how culture and circumstance can change even religions dogma.
For one, their Xmas celebration happens in January.
We call them reds, but their Sandy Claws are blue and comes with a fair maiden instead of the old lady Missus Claws and a bunch of green gremlins.
They call him Dead Morose (or something similar) but I think I like him more than Sandy Claws.
Because he rides a Tonka and although that thing still slays, it is pulled by normal horses not flying creatures with many horns.
Also, even though he lives to the west in place called "Oh blast" and is a former Slave, he does not secretly watch you deeds and covertly visit in the middle of the night, appearing out of a furnace.
There is no need to make offerings of cookies and milk either.
He still brings gifts and more than that, he fights the bad guys with a really long magic wand.
I think I like theirs better. Think of it, who thinks it is a great idea to put candies inside a stinky socks?

IMHO, the best all around SLR is the Nikon D5300.
It is not really best at anything, but it balance out everything nicely.
Image quality is excellent, adequate lowlight performance & megapixels are just right too.
Some may argue about mirrorless being better and i agree on some areas they will edge it out. But you cant make a mirrorless a telescope specially when the battery is dead but a 200mm on a D5300 will.
One thing i also like about it is that it pretty much hits the best requirements of a selfie camera, both alone or in a group setting with its fully articulated screen and celphone view, focus & shoot remote via wi-fi. Because it not not that heavy, stick it on a tripod and you can even use it as a selfie stick camera.
Images can even be geo tagged as it has a built in GPS.
There are new versions of this line but i consider the D5300 still the king of their series and possibly the best all around SLR to date.

I was walking down the street when I was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless man who asked me for a couple of dollars for dinner.
I took out my wallet, extracted ten dollars and asked,"If I give you this money, will you buy some beer with it instead of dinner?"
"No, I had to stop drinking years ago," the homeless man replied.
"Will you use it to go fishing instead of buying food?" I asked.
"No, I don't waste time fishing," the homeless man said.."I need to spend all my time trying to stay alive."
"Will you spend this on hunting equipment?" I asked.
"Are you NUTS!" replied the homeless man. "I haven't gone hunting in 20 years!"
"Well," I said, "I'm not going to give you money. Instead, I'm going to take you home for a shower and a terrific dinner cooked by my wife."
The homeless man was astounded. "Won't your wife be furious with you for doing that?
I replied, "Don't worry about that. It's important for her to see what a man looks like after he has given up drinking, fishing and hunting."

It's difficult to believe that the thread is still ongoing. Each post is so "heart-warming" (Sarcasm)! I also can't understand the usage of the word "A-hole" which is seemingly a colloquialism for a nasty, unlikeable, unpleasant, unamicable person, Why relate a useful part of the human anatomy that is vital for our health and comfort to a bad person. Just ask anyone with a colostomy who would give anythg for a functional a-home!
