Title: Steamed meat popsicle

Post by maurvir »

I never saw one in person, but even then I thought it was a bit ridiculous. Of course, by then I was already spoiled to using really good 17"+ CRTs, so the tiny little display on the TAM looked absurd. Of course, I never imagined I was in the market for one anyway. :shrug:

(At that price point, it would have been the computer equivalent of looking at a luxury yacht)

I've seen enough Indiana Jones and played enough Tomb Raider to know that you must put something on their hands before entering the tunnel.

I was thinking something else, but cash would probably be safer.

Vagina.

This is Victoria Park, Ireland. It is devoted to the Goddess Jaggadatri (aka Chandi/Kali), as well as her son Ganesha and other Hindu mythological figures and it is also devoted to Celtic mythological figures such as the Green Man. It is private land, but is opened to the public every summer. Definitely someplace I'd like to see. You are allowed to walk through the tunnel, BTW.
Remember, people, to forgive is divine. In other words, it ain't human.
