HOMERCIDAL Camera FUND

[cheezydemon3]

Someone please buy Homercidal a digital camera. How someone can become a moderator with NO pictorial evidence that he makes even milk wetted cereal, much less beer, chicken, or a rack of ribs, is, in my humble opinion......FRIGHTENING.....

 

[boydster]

Milk wetted cereal? That is genius. Did he post his recipe? I found this recipe for ice cubes that I'd be willing to trade. Is there a pic somewhere of the cereal he.... Oh wait, that's right.

Sorry Homer.

Here's a picture of Eeyore. He's sad you don't have a camera.

 

[ChefRex]

Cheezy, you're a tool.





Love ya,

 

[Zuljin]

Maybe he could make ASCII pictures of his junk. Er, stuff. Or things. Or Whutever.

"They also serve, who only sit and moderate"

Or something like that...

Cheers!

I'd like Canon DSLR please, with a 300X zoom lens and remote fired flashes (2 please). Probably should have a couple of tungsten lights for creating a natural glow in case I ever have the chance to photograph live nude models.

I'll chip in a quarter, if you tell me where to Paypal.

 

[Homercidal]

You could save money by getting florescent lights for snapping pics of nude DEAD models...

I'm sure I have an old Polaroid around here somewhere... No film though. But if you have Polaroid film, and a digital scanner, I can donate my old-and-possibly-even-still-functional camera so you can post pics to HBT.

 

[cheezydemon3]

In ALL seriousness, WHO NEEDS A DIGITAL CAMERA WHEN THEY HAVE A SMARTPHONE??????

I KNOW that there are digital cameras languising in closets all around the HBT world.

Even if they snap a better photo, it is a PITA to post them to HBT.

I know we can muster up one and make Homercidal go through that PITA...........

PLEASE have a heart.....and an extra camera........otherwise.........homercidal is eventually going to smush his roasted chicken (or his milk wetted cereal) onto his scanner and the he will no longer even have a scanner.

Your donation link points to this thread. I was going to donate $500, but I can't tolerate incompetence.

 

[cheezydemon3]

The thing is, we don't need to buy a camera. ONE EXISTS......

In fact 80 million USELESS cameras exist.

We need to find the person who has a smartphone AND a digital camera..........

And we shall call this person........

You're giving me a headache.

 

[cheezydemon3]

There is the door.



Help me find THE SPECIAL.

I'd rather use my digital camera. It's 5 megapixel & my phone's camera is only 2. Just take the SD memory card out with pics on it & insert into computer or printer slot for them. Upload to your pics file, then to photobucket, then here. Simple. I need a new camera to do my videos again. If I get one of those HD camcorders, he can have my old digicam...

 

[Homercidal]

Hold on guys, I think I found a digital camera at work we aren't using anymore....

Yep, it's a SONY too! Now I just have to find a USB floppy drive to put in my computer so I can transfer files from the camera to my computer...

 

[LandoLincoln]

A USB floppy drive?

I feel like I've taken crazy pills.

 

[Homercidal]

Here it is. Yep, there is no cable connection to the camera, so I need to find a floppy drive.

 

[Homercidal]

My new computer doesn't have a floppy interface header on the motherboard, so I will have to find an external floppy drive to plug in using USB. Just went through this with my stepmom's new computer. They don't make a PCI card that supports floppy header either.

I think the USB floppy drives are about $25, so once I get one of those I'll be all set!

I think that's where the film comes out, shake them and they'll develop faster

 

[LandoLincoln]

Oh, lordy. Those things take about 5 seconds to write to disk for each 640x480 picture. YOU'S LIVIN' THE HIGH LIFE NOW!

That's what she said!

640x480?? That sounds huge. I'm not sure my floppy will be big enough to handle it...

 

[Homercidal]

It's got a 2X write speed! And it does MPEG video.

I could capture my grain mill in action and upload it!

Oh, just noticed that I can take a picture and add a little bit of SOUND to it as well!

According to the reviews, you can take a "high resolution" (640x480) video for about 15 seconds before the disk fills up. On "standard resolution" (160x112) you can record for a full 60 seconds. THAT"S A WHOLE MINUTE OF VIDEO! WOO!

It takes MPEG video? Man. My Polaroid can't do that. Even with film. I'd have to take a lot of pictures really fast.

I have a couple 3.5" floppies I can donate. Or maybe that takes the old 5.25" disks... Hard to tell from the picture. Must have been taken with the camera on the Low-Res setting.

 

[Homercidal]

It's the 3.5" floppy. I have a big box of them. I have to keep a few on hand for some of the CNC machines we have here. I need to have a few DD floppies as well as the usual HD floppies.

Laugh it up, some of the earliest pictures I have of my dog are from my floppy disk Mavica.

The CDRW Mavica was slick.

I had one of those and it took GREAT pics! No camera I've owned after that has come close to the quality in general, and it was really easy to use.

I should get back into KAP. Cameras are so small and light now. I bet you could find a 5MP pen camera and float it with a very small box kite.

I picked up a keychain camera to put on ESTES rockets. I don't have a recording yet, but it's basically this.
