... actually had conversations like that except ... it wasn't "about the nail" ...

 

[SouthSoundTree]

Its never about the nail.


I just got advised yesterday on how to 'fix' an internal company issue somehow from someone who has ZERO business experience, not supported or listened to.

Its not just males that try to fix problems.

Great pix! But, turn the sound *OFF* the music S U X !!!

edit: I'd like to do *some* of those things ...

 

[MasterBlaster]

I'd like to do several of those things, cool.

I love the "Tree camping in Germany" picture.
Not only does Germany not have a coastline like that, it doesn't have monterey cypresses either.
Try again!

That tree camping pic was taken by Louie Phisihous for the Smithsonian Mag, 20 miles down the coast from me. In fact I'm in the front porta-ledge with a gal there from Elk.

It was all set up in advance and touted in the magazine article like we do that all the time. That's one way how the media gets fads started, I guess

Well that's set the bar high for tree vids, cool production - Tony Knight

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Nice film and some good shots with Giorgio

 

[gf beranek]

The new arb vids just keep getting better and better don't they?

It seems the fellows that made the vid were actually touting the cine-slider gizmo more than any arb gear. While an appreciation for SRT they promoted the camera transport more.

I can dig it. I like camera gear. They did a damn good job in both aspects!!

Had the pleaure of meeting him and his wife in Tennessee and checking his srt gizmo out, great folks! The camera set up and focus on this production is superb. I really love the start with the change in focal matter!

Super human skills. I can only guess that time must have slowed down for him. The world moves in slow motion to him.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Never ceases to amaze me, his talent.

 

[woodworkingboy]

His talent was a little bit of a curse too. Apparently he had to beat up guys all over Hong Kong just to go out and get a bite to eat.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I think that nunchuck ping pong was faked, I'm not sure. I think I read that somewhere.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Yep - fake.

Can't put nothin' over on the Boss.

Read the interview ... nice production, though ...

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Oh man... I really wanted to believe that

Next thing you know.. you will be dissin the Easter Bunny and Santa

 

[MasterBlaster]

When in doubt, check Snopes.

 

[woodworkingboy]

That doesn't mean that he couldn't have done it if he had lived longer.

 

[stig]

Jay, apart from all the fake stories about him, what exactly did he do that was so amazing?
His famous one inch push isn't much to admire.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I can't believe you don't have anything but the utmost respect for Bruce Lee.

 

[stig]

I don't have any respect for him, never had.
He had a remarkable physique, but his biggest merit as a martial artist was being the first to take it public through movies.
And dying young so they could turn him into a legend, of course.
