Shoot the Breeze With the Cooler Crew - Peoplesforum Edition

Isn't that how everyone comes in?

I'm with the rest of them and have a favorites link to the WCCCRC folder.  I just use my Check Messages link after seeing how many new posts there have been in the various sub-threads.  I can't remember the last time I actually navigated in here.  I'm like George Jetson sometimes where I feel over worked if I need to push one extra button if there's a way around it.

I use the Check Messages feature as well.  I get lost when I see all the threads in the main folder!

Well, I know nothing, and don't know about links, so I'll just keep doing what I do. 

Well I just tried to put my web page up it didn't work:( Now how did I get an A in that class if I can't even make it work?

I use the members folder too, to get here... I mainly do that, cause I like to read/post in other folders/threads too... and your right... I have noticed that number go up, in the past.

To those who care:  the  B-Dalton bookstore in Maplewood Mall (Its the one on the bottom floor) is having a huge sale.. everything is on sale, because their going to be closing the store, most likely because of the Barnes & Noble thats moving in.  I have no idea how much longer their going to be there, but they still seem to have a lot of good stuff.

I just picked up this small little book "The Sonnets of William Shakespeare".

OK,  lots of thoughts and prayers going out on the board.  I need to check in more often:)  If anyone needs anything dont be afraid to ask us!!

Ok I got my web banner to work what do you think.

Very cool ESD.  But why the blank spot at the end of the loop?  It seems to create a flash effect for some reason. Did they make you use an interval to show beginning and end?  Otherwise it's pretty cooler.

what's the deal with george lucas and the number 1138? just watching star wars and that's where the prisoner transfer is occurring on the death star when han and luke rescue princess leia.

nice job esd....

the only thing I noticed is I can't crank up my vol. enough...

OMG!!!! GREAT JOB ESD!!!

I can't wait to get home so I can listen to it.  No powered speakers here at work.  Very impressive guy.  You've come a long way baby. (ooops, made a pun and didn't even know it)

Is that going to be the host site?  I want to link to it for my link of the week next Monday. Are you able to add an auto return or option link after it's done?

Thanks CM
I am not sure what an auto return or option link is, I think I need to read the book some more.

Now that I figured out how to get them up and running I will try the web page that has the return buttons.

ESD!!!  Those are way cooler!!!!!!!!  Great job!!!!!!!!!

Thanks TV I am still triing to figure out this web design stuff.

hmm didn't work for me...

Sorry I was messing with it now I can't get it to work any more, for some reason my computer at home will not let me fix it. guess I will have to try and fix it at work tomorrow.

Sunshine came softly through my window today...

He references THX or 1138 in every one of his movies.

any idea where the references are in the indiana jones movies?

way cooler, esd!!!

In the scene where Indy is fighting the big bald guy. While the plane is spinning around. If you look at the wing number of the plane. You will see that the number is THX-1138. Also the pilot was a of the producers of the movie.

(in lost ark)...

 

also

Lucas has managed to slip in the word "THX-1138" or just the number "1138" into his films. For example in American Graffiti "THX-1138" is a license plate, in Star Wars, A New Hope "1138" is the number of a cellblock and the list goes on. And "THX-1138" has of course also given name to Lucas' sound system, THX. Hope this clearifies some stuff...might be some errors though

Harrison Ford wasn’t the only Star Wars connection in Raiders Of The Lost Ark. The plane seen in the opening sequence has the registration OB-CPO, while hidden among hieroglyphics in the Well Of Souls are engravings of druids R2-D2 and C-3PO. The scene where Indiana Jones threatens to destroy the Ark Of The Covenant with a bazooka was filmed in the same Tunisian canyon as the scene from Star Wars where Obi-Wan Kenobi is first introduced. In Temple Of Doom, the opening nightclub sequence is set in “Club Obi-Wan”. During the sequence set in the Nazi submarine base, the tannoy calls out the words: "eins, eins, drei, acht”, or “One, one, three, eight” – a reference to Lucas’s first movie, THX 1138.

In The Empire Strikes Back, General Rieekan says, "Send Rogues ten and eleven to station three-eight."

Love it!  I didn't know that one.  Cool.

He's a regular Hitchcock isn't he?

Quick everybody, buy Twinkies!

no offense.

Damn skinny people!

Was that really necessary?

Nope, some people are just very immature (but the twinkies are okay).

Call me an old fogey, or a spoil sport, or uptight....whatever you want.....but I complained to Lance.

lol oh for that I'll just call ya a hero ;) Good job!

Thanks KC.  I wasn't sure what reaction I'd get for that.

Old fogey JOE!

Wow!  I thought you were being sarcastic towards my post OT. Until I went back and read the ones before mine.  Where'd that come from?

It'd get a good reaction. Shoot most people look at these forums at work (myself included) and havin somethin like that pop up on the screen could potentially be very bad. I think that includes THX, he's just not on the forums right now.

BTW you missed your JOE!

lol yeah CM, where do you get off posting a picture of Twinkie the Kid anyway? j/k

I can't see the pix at work but after looking at the properties, I don't think I'd care to anyway.

Went back and claimed my Joe.  ;)  Thanks for the heads up!

You thought I complained about your Twinkies picture??  lol  Don't you read the scintillating conversations in here?

Don't you read the scintillating conversations in here?

He must have posted as I was posting my Twinkie dude.  I missed it the first time around.

some people just don't have any class at all.

Hi guys.

Just talked to the folks, they are putting the Hurricane shutters up AGAIN!!!  They have been extremly lucky so far.  Hope they can make it through another one.   Gettin kinda worried!

 

I just had a surreal experience.  My brother was sent an old newspaper article that showcased my Grandpa's old Minneapolis restaurant.  I looked up the address and thought for sure it had been torn down since it was pretty much part of downtown.  But I decided to go check it out anyway.  Damn!  What a weird feeling.  It wasn't exactly dajavu' but more of a reality check regarding time. It felt like the last 35 years didn't even happen.  The place was a hole. And that's a compliment. The outside looks nice enough, but I wouldn't even eat my own food inside that place. Creepy and disgusting.  I guess I was just surprised that the building was still there being part of the downtown area.  Maybe it's protected or something. Either way, here's a scan from the article in 1969? and a shot I just took 5 minutes ago.  Memories are freaky. -That's my Gramps Caddy in front but I can't tell what year it is - boy would he be proud of me having my own Caddie now ;-)

Joe

Cool, CM!  So what's it called now?  Is it a Vietnamese place now?  And 1815 what street?
