that middle one is the largest invert i've ever come across! i'm gonna try to get some more pics on friday or saturday when i have a trip |
||||
| llamamama |
Sweet! How often do you hire out your boat? | ||||
| llamamama |
Redundant, 'cuz most of you have seen it, but it explains the name.
I still want to know why Edgar didn't post his pic, since this was his idea. And we all know what great pics he takes. 
Thanks, John, for the new avatar photo. Here's another one someone just sent me. 
|
||||
| EdgarOrtega |
Well, I'm pretty sure everyone knows what I look like, but I'll play along.

Not wanting to be left behind here's a few of me...
Proudly showing off my new spider ring 
I vaguely remember insulting a tattoo artist just before passing out a few years ago... 
Shopping for T's at the Reptist's table during the '08 ATS conference 
By the way, this was an extremely fun, educational experience and I hope more Bats members can go this year. |
||||
| EdgarOrtega |
LOL That first photo frightens me.  Nice John shots.
|
||||
| BayLee |
Ok Ok, you asked for it! Here is one picture of me in my earlier years.
|
||||
| EdgarOrtega |
Oh, look. She was cute back then, too.
Mr. Green is my favorite.
|
||||
| Synn |
I'll play! :D I'm always taking pics with my animals, so bear with me, I' m a camera whore! Haha!
Me and my one reptile, Cornelius, an yearling amel cornsnake: 
Me and my Hissers, Fred and Wilma. They're my only bugs right now, hopefully that'll change soon!
I don't have any good ones of me with my rats... I'll work on that, since they're like my little favorites. And what kind of 19 year old girl would I be if I didn't have a couple myspace poses on my computer? Haha! 
|
||||
| EdgarOrtega |
Synn, we need a shot of some roaches on your face. Watch out though...they're pokie.
|
||||
| llamamama |
Madison, be careful or Edgar will turn you into an invert poster girl! LOL
And where are the pics with the chickens, hmmmm?
|
||||
| Synn |
Omg I actually tried that right after I got them! But their clawed feet gripping my face HURT soooo bad! Let me see if I even have any of those pics still on my comp, they were funny. You could tell i was in pain and still trying to smile hahaha |
||||
| EdgarOrtega |
I tried that too..it didn't work out so great. :shock:
Here watch!

| EdgarOrtega |
Oh, I already have my poster girl, and she has a German accent.
|
||||
| Synn |
Hahaha I'd be all over being the invert poster girl! xD I should probably lose like 30 pounds first though, lol! OMG CHICKEN PICS! duh! Let me see what I got... Here I am with one of my bantam barred rock cockerels, Fabio 2.0! 
And here I am about a year ago with Phoenix, a really shitty golden laced bantam polish pullet, RIP. 
|
||||
| Synn |
OMFG I DIED LAUGHING! AHAHAHAHAHAHA! That was genius |
||||
| EdgarOrtega |
What the heckers? That first chicken is the victim of some villain with a sharpie and lots of patience. Either that or its a fake chicken. You're some kind of chicken painter or chicken faker. You and your crazy fake chicken. | ||||
| llamamama |
No way! Madison has very nice birds, I should know.
:D |
||||
| Synn |
Lol! Nope that's his breed! And his barring could be a lot better (it's a bit light). Check out more pics of them here: www.freewebs.com/goldengatepoultry |

||||
| EdgarOrtega |
That's a great guitar...
You should write a really loud SFBATS song. You can play it at the meeting while we all stand there with our jaws on the floor, eyes wide open, and our hair blown back. Others, will will be on hands and knees crawling on the floor, vainly searching for their contact lenses only to discover that the music had vaporized them completely. My glasses will be shattered and in some odd cocked position on my face, and my hair will have turned white from how hard we'd been rocked on that fateful day. Women will cover themselves with table cloths because their clothes were blown away. Men will be laying on the floor with shocked expressions, barely able to move like survivors in the aftermath of a nuclear explosion. Tumble weeds roll by as we struggle to rise, grimaces on our faces. The winds of fallout will blow as Gorecki's lamenting Symphony No. 3 plays. A weeping child searches for his mother.... Anyway, yeah that's a neato guitar.

Hey wburke17! Is that waterfall picture taken on the Archer Taylor Preserve in outer Napa County by any chance? | ||||
| llamamama |
I was wondering, too, where the waterfall picture was taken. 'Fess up and tell us, Warren! :D | ||||
| EdgarOrtega |
What do you do? Looks like you're in a cockpit of some sort. | ||||
| wburke17 |
Actually it down here in the So.Cal area in the hills of Monrovia, it an extension off the Lower Clambshell trail. it goes back about 2 miles up an un maintained sometimes 9" wide trail, but well worth it once you get there. Heres my oldest that went with me on this one, 
|

Here is a science field trip picture taken in Tijuana, Mex at our friends orphanage. One day I took 19 of the kids out to find and talk about tarantulas. They loved it. |

| sntcruzan |
More PicturesMe holding the Tarantula that we found in Tijuana,Mex.
A local taqueria in Tijuana..Very good tacos..Yum Yum 
|

| EdgarOrtega |
Those are really cool pics, Fred. I like the Spider Taco stand :D | ||||
| sntcruzan |
One more from south of the border. Me holding a crying babytrying to calm her down.
|
||||
| northswan04 |
Fred those are amazing photos, not just the quality but what you're doing down there. What is your career? | ||||
| sntcruzan |
I am a self - employed gardener. But, I also do work for the Lord,too. We try to get down to help at least once a year with projects that need doing. The name of their orphanage is called Grace Childrens Home. Our friends names are George and Stacey Palau | ||||
| UglyKid2 |
Very commendable work you do! Great pics and I'm sure those kids really enjoyed having you there. La Arana cracked me up, where else would an SF Bats member eat? Best tacos I ever had were south of the border in Rosarito Beach and Ensenada. | ||||
| EdgarOrtega |
Thought you guys would get a kick out of this one.
Younger Edgar "Grey Owl" in Cherokee ribbon shirt holding a fishing spear I'd made. Anybody do here rendezvous? I remember they called me Elvis at the time... I'm not sure why. 
|
||||
| northswan04 |
Hey Edgar, are you indian? | ||||
| Ricky Ortiz84 |
 thats a nice blouse you got on there lol!!!! and I can see the elvis in there
|
||||
| EdgarOrtega |
What's the matter? You don't like my ruffles? hehe
No, I'm not enough Native to claim to be so. I worked at an Indian Camp for four summers. I got to set up and live in tipis, and I got to teach children archery as well as tomahawk & knife throwing. Fun fun. We did black powder demos and had pow wows, rendezvous, and it was just too much fun. |
||||
| BayLee |
Ha ha Elvis. You do have that Elvis hair, you know! |
||||
| mouse |
my kids a few months back. can you believe my daughter is part indian...? her dad's grandma or great grandma was fullblooded cherokee. she had black hair when little and dark eyes. guess she wasn't wasn't water proof and faded during washing... :shock:
|
||||
| BayLee |
Gorgeous children Mouse!. I really need to come by and visit you. |
||||
| mouse |

Hey, Lony has a crystal ball, too. You two should hang out.
|
||||
| llamamama |
But does Lony have a cloak with a hood? I do! Come to think of it, I have more than one! lol
|

| DeeCasey |
OOOO Everyone better be nice to Lony, she might cast a spell on us!
Very nice picture Lony! |

| BayLee |
Yes I did at our meeting today. You are next Dee. Just wait till next weekend....muahahahah. | ||||
| llamamama |
She's gonna cast a spell on Dee so that Dee will feed us all at every meeting! LOL
So Lony's got the crystal ball, but no cloak. I've got the cloaks but no crystal ball at the moment. Neither one of us has got nice bikes like Anthonaus. Hmmmm, we need Marlene and the Ducati! But hey...we've got the T's!
|
||||
| BayLee |
Oh I have a good idea...
Laurie how about you bing your cloaks, I bring my crystal ball and Anthonaus brings his HD and we take pictures together. Oh and Dee provided some yummy food for the next meeting |
