The yogurt was great, but the vodka sucked. Yes fans I am back and
please say that you are glad that the king is alive and well. I have
been going through the stacks of mail that have been awaiting my
return. The best piece yet was the signed photo of GW and Laura
thanking me for my contributions to the Republican National Committee.
We certainly must make it clear that we want no part of Hillary in the
oval office.
Now I have been keeping up with things on the group here, and I must
say that it has been boring. Only Annika is still here, and his photos
have improved, I hope his golf game has also !!!
My assignments have changed, I do things on a leasure pace these days,
mainly due to a little surgery on the ole ticker. No more Vodka, no
more fine cigars, but my photography is better than ever. I just wanted
all my ole fans to know that I am alive and kicking. You all will be
hearing a lot from me in the future. There is a Granny memorial parade
coming up soon, we are having another Gene Garber autographed baseball
placed at her headstone. See all of you fans soon. EOS1VFAN

Back in the day...you and the "Fan" were equally annoying and equally full
of crap.
Since then, you've risen above his brand of stupidity (you've now got your
own! Ha ha), so I think it's time to let the Fan fade into the little corner
of obscurity he's always merited.

You're both pretty goofy...but he has nothing to show for his big mouth.
At least your big mouth comes with pics...
Heck...even YOU have your "dignity..."
Don't stoop too low...
:)

I've seen some of the FAN's pics ... he mailed me some 8x12's.
It is what got me lusting for a fast telephoto like the 400 f/2.8L.
Someday .....

Do you realize the total awesomeness that would result if I ever got my
hands on one of those daddy lenses like the 400 f/2.8L IS or the 500
f/4L IS?  It would be scary.

That's the lens I've wanted for many a moon...
-Tough to convince the wife that, "I've had this lens for a long time"
though...
-Kinda sticks out like a sore...um...leg.

There's a credit card company out there that wants you to spend to the
limit.

I'd be afraid that I'd drop it on my foot.....My medical bills are high
enough already........

I'm pretty sure Bret's cards have been "full" for some time...

They went from very full to all empty and back to very full again, if
you know what I mean.

I think they are working on a new version of Internet just to cover
that very specific possibility!

Fondly remembering those "Fabulous" days,

Wrong, as usual. Many of us are still here, and we all remember that you're
all talk and no pix. Post some from Tibet, if you dare.

For sure, I would love to see some pictures from Tibet.

You might.  Tibet is probably the name of some cathouse in Orlando.
EOS1VFAN always has the best stories.  Too bad they aren't illustrated.

Havent been following RPE35mm regularly for a few years now, but I
thought *you* were EOS1VFan.... what gives?  The extra personality
found a new host body?

And if you are not Eos1VFan, whatever happened to the Fabulous
You-know-what?

Inquiring minds want to know, as do I.

As I've said many times, I was never EOS1VFAN as some have claimed.
His name is Bob Youngblood and he lives in FLA and is friends with Al
Jacobson, who also used to post here.  I live in Tennessee and am
friends with no one, except maybe Spike.
Two different people, got it?

As for the Fabulous EOS-1V, I still have it and only shoot with it
every once in a blue moon.
http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/64283192

I usually just shoot slide film with the Fabulous EOS-1V, although
recently I've tried a few rolls of B/W. The Fabulous EOS-1V is still
the best 35mm film body you can buy, even though film is dead.  It's
kinda like being the best antique car at the car show.
If I had the EOS-1DsMKII, I'd throw the Fabulous EOS-1V off a cliff,
perhaps one of these:

Sorry, didnt mean to impugne your goo..^H^H^H name.

I must have missed your posts saying that you werent EOS1VFan - I
reckon you wouldnt bullshit about something like that.   I was just
confused by the presence of 2 such... passionate, shall we say...
lovers of the Fabulous 1V.

I'm hoping for the Superlative 1DMk3 to come out soon, and more
importantly, at a price tag that doesnt make me feel like a prison
playmate.  

Enlightened in the East,

I've heard that it has a built-in cell phone, an MP3 player and five
separate games which you can play on the display...

No, it doesn't and not only that, but the games Chris mentioned are
only available after a firmware upgrade.  I understand it's a tricky
deal .... if you happen to be listening to rap music on the MP3 player
during the upgrade, you could fry the whole system and lock up
everything. But that's corrected in the ver 1.2 firmware upgrade.
Kinon O'cann - 19 Oct 2006 00:32 GMT
Fan is full of sh.t, as always. All talk, no pix, andno proof. total waste
of bandwidth.
