Photo Forum / Film Photography / 35 mm / August 2007Congrats to William Graham!
Thanks largely to my Gary Fong thread, William has now become this newgroup's All-Time Leader in number of posts! Over 9300 and counting, 13 of which were actually about photography and not religion or Iraq. The experts are stumped trying to explain his formidable numbers this late in his career, but some skeptics suggest his increase in output could be be aided by performance-enhancing drugs like caffeine or maybe a few six-packs of "Red Bull" or "Jolt" late at night.

I got it straight from the silver fox myself, through replies on the newsgroup, that the elusive William Graham does not need such stimulants to stay feisty. Apparantly he has been keeping in shape over the past 50+ years climbing out of women's bedroom windows! During his heydays http://images.jupiterimages.com/common/detail/77/37/23393777.jpg Recently caught in the act: http://washcycle.typepad.com/home/images/crazy_old_man.jpg Here he is again in disguise http://www.shweir.com/Images%201/M_Legs_out_window.JPG CONGRATS BILL!! I don't agree with your religious stand, but I agree to disagree with you. You're one of the good ones here!

Let's see, you posted a couple of times about your Minolta scanner and I remember a few posts showing some of your old war photos. Yep, 13 sounds about right. >> > All Hail the new King! >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > I remember a few posts showing some of your old war photos. > Yep, 13 sounds about right. Nope.....I keep a copy of every post I make in my "sent" file......I have thousands about photography, and thousands about trumpet playing/music, too. I back up my sent file onto CD's every now and then, so I've got access to them all......I could send you a copy, but I'm afraid I'd bore you to death..... >>> > All Hail the new King! >>> [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > access to them all......I could send you a copy, but I'm afraid I'd bore > you to death..... I know I'm going to regret this, but why would you keep "every" post you've ever sent? And why would you archive them to CD? And how often do you find need to access the sent posts on those CD's? >>>> > All Hail the new King! >>>> [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > you've ever sent? And why would you archive them to CD? And how often do > you find need to access the sent posts on those CD's? Easy to answer this one.....I consider writing an art, just like photography.....My posts are sacrosanct in that they represent my own personal application of the art of writing English.....Some of them (if I do say so myself) are classic! I definitely want my children and grandchildren to have them to read someday....If I just deleted my "sent" files, then they would be lost forever. Perhaps no one will ever read them, but like anyone who creates works of art, be they photographs, or painted canvasses, I want to keep them in my attic, so I can dream that someday, someone, will take pleasure in reading them. > Perhaps no one will ever read them, but like anyone who creates works of > art, be they photographs, or painted canvasses, I want to keep them in my > attic, so I can dream that someday, someone, will take pleasure in reading > them I can dig it. When I posted on the AOL boards years ago I often wished that those posts were archived. One day AOL decided to delete all their old message boards and that was that. Google has a nice archive of posts, but there is no guarantee they may be all gone tomorrow, as well. So it makes sense to save some of your favs or some posts with info that you may have to refer to in the future (like your bogus Saddam Hussein claims, for example). I've never felt the need to save all my posts (over 31,000 of them), but sometimes I get real bored and I'll go back 8-9 years and read some of my old stuff in the golf newsgroup. I was funny as sh.t back then. Here's a link to a post I did manage to save from the old AOL boards. It was written in 1997, just days before Tiger Woods won his first Masters. It's a long post, but might interest some of you golf fans: =============== http://groups.google.com/group/rec.sport.golf/msg/d136d71dbe84b182?&q=anni%27s+m asters+diary or http://tinyurl.com/2qadb8 > > Perhaps no one will ever read them, but like anyone who creates works of > > art, be they photographs, or painted canvasses, I want to keep them in my [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > http://tinyurl.com/2qadb8 If you don't archive this post, you will have me to deal with! What an absolute thrill you had that day! Your knowledge of the players, and what's more impressive is their knowledge of you, is what kept me reading your post. A couple of years ago, I met James Woods, the actor, in downtown Toronto. We talked for at least half an hour. I walked away on cloud 9. This pales in comparison to your day. Congrats! Helen > If you don't archive this post, you will have me to deal with! How is the Estrogen treatment going, Bret? You still sound pretty damned MALE to me! mike > I was funny as sh.t back then. Don't be so modest. Most of this newsgroup thinks you're as funny as sh.t NOW. They've also learned not to step in you too often. mike >> Perhaps no one will ever read them, but like anyone who creates works >> of [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > > http://tinyurl.com/2qadb8 Yes....Good post....I kind of think of all my sent emails as a diary of sorts. At least, they constitute the closest thing to a diary that I'll ever keep. I can usually remember about what I was doing and thinking around the time that I wrote each one. As I get older, I wish more and more that I had chronicled my life experiences in both words and pictures better than I did. Those sent emails are just about all I've got...... (snip) > It's a long post, but might interest some of you golf fans: > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > http://tinyurl.com/2qadb8 Thanks for the story. I remember when you posted a film of the images you took along with music. Very slick and very well done. I also remember that you had a grand time there. Hope you have the chance to do it many more times in the comming years. Draco Getting even isn't good enough. Doing better does. >I consider writing an art, just like > photography.....My posts are sacrosanct in that they represent my own > personal application of the art of writing English.....Some of them (if I do > say so myself) are classic! What I like about the Google archives is the ability to go back a few years and see what I wrote back then. What I hate about the Google archives is everyone else's ability to go back a few years and see what I wrote back then. Let's say I ever decided to run for public office. I am SO SCREWED! >>I consider writing an art, just like >> photography.....My posts are sacrosanct in that they represent my own [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Let's say I ever decided to run for public office. I am SO SCREWED! A long time ago I realized that one can either run for public office, or be honest. - I decided to be honest........

You've certainly been practicing acting like a woman via your 'Helen' persona long enough now. It's not working..your new identity completely lacks the delicate mannerisms found in the fairer sex. When will you keep your promise to stop posting in the photo groups? Is this decision somehow based on your Estrogen intake level? mike > Annika 19 (not just an IQ anymore) wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > mike When I read your header "the soon to be new Annika", I thought you were talking about Bret and my unborn son.

The real bitch is commuting back and forth from Toronto to Tennessee between each post. > When will you keep your promise to stop posting in the photo groups? When you show me where I ever promised that. Somebody needs a lesson in reading comprehension. And since you worship me so much, Buttslurp, I'll let you be the first in line when it comes time to lick my crack. |
