Exciting New peradventures of James Paul McCartney...
-
Still thinkin' of helpin' to promote Paul's new album. Okay, looks like the Cow idea didn't work out. Just too hard to find one with the right pattern. Doesn't sound like anyone had much luck either. I did find something else that was neat the other day. A new idea! Well, early last century there was this guy Arthur Mole (1889-1983) who together with John Thomas used their 11 x 14-inch view camera to create so-called "living photographs". They are pretty neat, here are some examples from the Library of Congress... http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/p?pp/app,grabill,lomax,pan,wtc,ils,vv,gottscho,detr,bbcards,prok,nclc,fsa:@FILREJ(@FIELD(CALL+@od1(LOT%205357))+@FIELD(COLLID+coll))::SortBy=DOCID (Sorry - Looks like you have to copy and paste the whole link above into your browser if you want to view them) No reason why the same thing couldn't be done today. I am sure the population is larger now than in those times. May be hard to find a big enough field though. Just get a couple thousand fans together from this forum, hoist me up tied to a balloon with my digital camera...and viola!...another Podgie Masterpiece! Like this... Another Podgie Masterpiece - Click Here Be sure to click so that it is full size. And everyone was saying the new album cover is too simple, too plain! It is brilliant, man! Paul is a genius!

I really like the picture, Podgie. Suppose we're some of the people?

Just playing around with something called the Druse Effect. Pretty neat. It is like an infinite spiraling effect.
Hey, what can I say!

Good job! The first picture already has that infinite picture loop potential, so it's cool that you took advantage of that.

Ahhhh, I love the idea of a never ending Paul

I love the That Was Me poster, Podgie.

Totally cool, Podgie.

Cool picture Podgie
Did you get to ride on the big ferris wheel when you were in England? I wanted to when we were there but didn't have time.

I've been on it. It is the worlds biggest ferris wheel at the moment. It only goes around one revolution for your admission, very slow. Maybe when they rename it for Paul they will revamp it...maybe put it on its side and speed it up...wouldn't that be neat, turn it into a "Roundup"?! I use to like that ride at the carnivals. I don't think it is the first time the name changed, I thought when it was first built it was called the "Millenium Wheel"? Now it is the "London Eye". It looks neat in the London skyline, and has a terrific view of Parlament and the Clock Tower, and you can see Buckingham Palace in the distance. It is a fun thing to go on. Podgie (it is also very expensive) Monkey

Yes you are right, it was called the Millinium Wheel when we were there in 2000. We were on a Beatle tour then and didn't have time to go on it and I think they said you had to have a reservation a month in advance or something like that. Of course it was new at that time too. Anyway I thought you probably went on it. That's cool that you got to
If ever, and that's a big if, we ever go back to England that is one thing I would like to do.

Man, only a few weeks left of summer! Alot of people take their vacations in August though. Nice beach weather. Give me an idea for another movie parody....hmmmm... Things aren't going so good on Calamity Island...people are disappearing. The indications are...it is a large shark! Dum Dum Dum Dum Dum dum dum dum....da da da! Our hero, the sheriff of Calamity Island tries to make the local politicians listen, but "Nooooo!" They don't want to listen...they want the tourists, for the local economy.
Our hero, knows the disappearances are shark related, so he watches down at the beach.
Wait, he thinks he sees a fin!!!! He moves into action..."Everyone out of the water!!!"
What a fool he makes of himself. It was a false alarm!
Eventually, when enough people disappear, and without the people the economy suffers. The politicians give in and have a meeting on how to get rid of the shark. A guy shows up who claims he can get rid of the shark. He illustrates on a chalkboard. Actually, if it was made today it would be a marker board, I guess. Chalkboards are history now....but for this story, it is still a chalkboard.
Him along with a marine life specialist type nerdy guy, and our hero get together to fight the shark. Cool cast, huh?! Whenever I think of three people doing something...I always think of the Stooges. Substitute the "Dum Dum Dum Dum Dum..." sound for "Three Blind Mice" (or "Listen to the Mockingbird").
What an allstar cast! Off they go! "We're Gonna need a bigger boat!"
Did I mention the boats name was "The Orca"? "We're Gonna need a Bigger Boat!!!"
After the boat is demolished. The shark...for some reason I remember the shark being named "Bruce" (but I think that was the mechanical shark, wasn't it?). Anyway, our hero is left to deal with the shark! The boat is just about to go under when the shark, Bruce, appears...and says... get this... I stole this from Pixar... the shark says.. yeah, you're on the edge of your seats aren't ya?! Well... He says... "Don't worry...I'm a vegetarian!"
