Comrade Kelk, if I owned any internets, you'd have won at least one of them for posting this picture.

Yeah ... the attitudes of those long-ago days are so ingrained in me that I won't set a DVD down atop a television — and I'm almost certain there'd be no danger. Almost.
By the way, the picture marked "Journey to the Center of the Earth" — I suppose that's the artist's title, but really it looks more like Pellucidar, given the drill-machine.

I remember my first encounter with a flat panel iMac that included a little remote control... that clipped to the side of the computer by magnet. And that the same series of machine, until recently, included a LINE of magnets along the face (holding on the glass), strong enough to hold a metal ruler to it without sliding.
There may have been some blubbering for a day or so.

It took me a moment to realise what I was seeing with that floppy, but yeah. System restore disk has been erased and/or damaged by the method of storing the system restore disk. And I'll be honest, I started using computers in the waning days of the floppy, at a time where they were certainly known and used but everyone was already switching over to CDs. Modern kids have no idea how good they've got it with data storage that allows the storage of gigabytes of data onto a single disk. I mean, these days you don't exactly see 'put in the next disk to continue playing' notices anymore, now do you?

NOT! Gothic Metal
01-30-2017, 03:40 AM
I'll agree with the gothic assessment of all the black cats save for the last one.
IT IS NOT GOTHIC METAL!
That one from my own all to close personal experience on at least two occasions is most definately GOTHIC HUNGRY!

And yes I think any mention of those two close encounters most definitely need to be talked about in all caps.

I don't think it was supposed to be 'gothic' metal, just metal in general. It's people who wear all black, not just types of goth. 8)
So you could describe your experiences as 'Death Metal' 8P

"Death Metal"
I'll go with that, one of the times the panther picture caused me to flash back to I did immediately obtain a DEATH GRIP on a a 8 foot metal fence post and a tiny little flash light and I kept that grip as I slowly spun my way back to the house as the panther did a series of widdershins around me roughly 8 feet out of reach of the fence post.
Over the past 35 years I've had more than a few encounters with large cats and 2 or 3 bears and the advice to never EVER run or turn your back on a big cat and never EVER challenge or surprise a bear is very true.
I'd also add when you feel that cold chill run down your spine and/or your hair suddenly tries to stand on end PAY ATTENTION and while you may never know what caused that reaction there is ALWAYS a very good reason for your body sending that message.

... what am I missing about the uniformed group shot?
(And answer, please, in the Seventh Images thread, as I'm about to lock this one for just about hitting 300.)
