I was taking pictures with my phone and captured this one of my daughter. No idea what she was doing.

Now I actually have an avatar, I can report this was the first album I ever bought and it's still the best one I've heard five years later.

You've obviously never heard this one:



 ;D

I came upon this album late in life (around 2002) but it's the best I've heard in almost forty years.

This one comes from another user on another board.  He said he got it from tshirthell.com



Seeing as how I'm a poker nut and an atheist, I felt this one was quite nice.

I'd like to hear my options, so I could weigh them, what do you say?
Five pounds?  Six pounds? Seven pounds?

currently filtering through old stuff- but if I don't find a pic I like soon I'll be forced to go photoshop on something.

A shabby penguin.  Over at my favorite poker 'cast, we have a group called AUCS (Ante Up Cheap Stakes) where we play in tournaments online with no fees, money added, under a dollar entries, or preferably all 3.  Since a Great Auk is a penguin, that's our mascot.  This was bdoomed's first crack at it.  He's working on a more Cafe Press friendly version now.  Oh, and the penguin's name will be Penny.

Umm, actually… it isn't
Quote from: wikipedia
The Great Auk, Pinguinus impennis, formerly of the genus Alca, is a bird that became extinct in the mid-19th century. It was the only species in the genus Pinguinus, a group which included several flightless giant auks from the Atlantic, to survive until modern times. It was also known as garefowl (from the Old Norse geirfugl, meaning "spear-bird", a reference to the shape of its beak), or penguin (before the birds known by that name today were so called)

Quote from: wikipedia
Penguins (order Sphenisciformes, family Spheniscidae) are a group of aquatic, flightless birds living almost exclusively in the Southern Hemisphere.

If I did i wouldn't take delight in subjecting ohters to the horrors I've seen such as Goatse, Tubgirl, and http://meatspin.com/(for the love of god don't click that if you value your sanity.  You can't unsee it).
