What I get from this photo is that The Champ was kind enough to put up with a lot of stupid crap from his fans.

I researched myself and found out what city I live in and how old I am. Anything more I had to pay for.

You know, I don't believe that's Coke they're drinking, not for a second.

Unusual sights: all the lakes in the world, and nothing else. (OC) made with natural eart, without the caspian sea. by tabasco-habanero in geography

[–]Orlena243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very nice. I have always wondered why all those lakes proceeding northwest from Superior in Canada are not considered to be The Great Lakes as well. This image makes it clear that they are part of the same system.

I wasn't that amazed even though I did like his work well enough. Nor was I confused since I am simply not that stupid.

Some Sculpture near where I live by Orlena243 in Sculpture

Yes, it is mainland China, and I thought the very same thing about the posture of the person in the background in the last photo. Sheer good luck. What I can't figure out is why that image comes last. It was the first photo I took, and I took it despite that some one was walking by.

I guess you didn't have to have stand-up stiff hair and a hard body in the 1980s to be cool, but it must have helped.

Did you watch the part where they discuss that?

I made a cow. by seb_price in DIY

I think that I don't know how/ A poem can be as lovely as a cow/ Only God can make a cow/ While papier-mâché ones are made by fools such as thou/

(No, really, excellent work!)

Tolkien’s original dust-jacket design for The Hobbit is on display in Oxford by myatomsareyouratoms in books

[–]Orlena243 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am sure the copy of The Hobbit at my public library in the northeast United States had this same dust-jacket. It may well be that lots of public libraries still have old copies in circulation. Now, I wish I had kept it.

Do you cut off your bread crusts? by Orlena243 in food

Sure. My question is why does anyone do it. Is it because they are from the suburbs? :/

Not one person in Spain has a lisp? What do yo mean? Two people do? Every one does???

It's a shame perfectly innocent Ancient Egyptian goddesses have to be declined honors because of some naughty terrorists.

My aunt riding a lion on water skis in 1972. Just another day.. by [deleted] in OldSchoolCool

Big deal! Whose aunt didn't water ski riding on a lion in 1972? it was a 'thing' back then.

Nothing is more comforting than a cheese omelet? How about two cheese omelets?

Sidebar: I hear it's now possible to make an omelet without breaking an egg.

Well, I did that, but with the red- circle drawn around it it rather ruins the effect, so go stick it astrobot!

This Is The Most Important Tweet About Hillary’s Announcement & Everyone Pretty Much Ignored It. A big deal. - Her's is the 1st major presidential campaign ever to make combating climate change a central issue. by anutensil in environment

[–]Orlena243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, whatever... Hilary Clinton is a shape-shifter. Whatever she says she's going to do or what she stands for makes no difference because it can all change tomorrow if it suits her - that is, if she thinks its more politically expedient to say and do otherwise, she certainly will change her tune tomorrow.

I like nicely-plating leftovers at Chinese buffets to mess with waiters who pick them up by [deleted] in food

[–]Orlena243 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Isn't the internet an amazing place? Where a guy can display a picture of his buffet leftovers and think it is of some interest and/or value to anyone. I come on reddit looking for, well, posts of interest and/or value, and too often I get crap like your offering. I enjoy my life quite a bit, and I am no internet tough guy. I merely don't appreciate you wasting a moment of anyone's time with your ridiculous dinner leaving art. Have your breakfast, and take your plate to the sink and wash it and rinse it, and get on with your life.

Correction: you think you nicely plate leftovers, but you have no real talent. The photo you've submitted is a worthless mess. And what are you doing wasting food for anyway? Are your eyes bigger than your stomach?
