Ducati Monster Forum

so....there's a bit of backstory here, i'll do my best to explain without being confusing.  earlier today i bought a new digital camera, so that i would have a camera for the HC trip next week.  why did i have to buy a new camera you ask?  did i not already have a digital camera, the same model as George you're wondering?  you are correct!  i do have that camera.  but where is it you ask?  well, you see, i dated a very cute, but equally pregnant dogy spiteful girl a while back, and had taken the camera (at her request) with me one day to see a BUTTERFLY exhibit with her; she did not have a camera with which to take pictures.  so i did comply.  and then we did very much break up shortly thereafter....but the said camera was still located in her apartment, with pretty pictures of butterflies still on it.  pictures she wasn't even able to retain for herself, because she a) has no computer to read the memory card, and b) has no cable to transfer the pics from the camera.  fast forward about three months, and she is now just getting to the point where she is going to send it to me....but she will more than likely wait until mid next week, because then i would not receive it in time, and happiness would be hers.  so, i bought another camera.  screw her.  (i will pass up the opportunity for gutter humor

so anyway, that brings me to the description of this camera.  it is a canon powershot SD630, 6 megapixel.  for those of you that have hung out much around george have no doubt seen the same camera, as that is what he uses also.  the camera is in great shape, though does have some normal wear/tear (it's about a year old i think)...but no complaints from me.  i still have the box for it somewhere i think, and the cables for it, charger, etc., and i think i have a 1GB memory card (or maybe it's 2GB) (SD) in it right now that you can have.  you can also have any naked pics of the girl that might still be on it!!   [thumbsup]  bonus.  i'm not wanting too much for it; i mostly figure someone out there could use a camera that's good for throwing in a pocket for a trip on the bike or to the bar, or both.  so...just let me know if you're interested.

here's a link to a very detailed review of the camera from Steve's digicams:  http://www.steves-digicams.com/2006_reviews/sd630.html

[thumbsup] Yea, it's really thin and can fit just about anywhere. I keep mine in my pocket with no problem. The thing has a bunch of effects goodies to boot along with video capability.

It's a great camera, love mine.

...SCREEEEEECCHHHHHH.  Hold on a sec! ummm... a butterfly exhibit? I'm all for the beauty of nature, but it would be remiss of me not to point out the Sweet Teardrop Gayness of this scenario. Did you paint each others toenails too?  [laugh]  ;D

But, was she hot?

I sure hope that's not what the naked pic's are all about.... :P


[laugh]

Oh, I forgot to mention that it has a killer macro setting for a point-and-shoot:

No butterflies on this elephant hunt. ;)

Butterflies? 

Riiiii-ght  [evil]

"Did ya' hear that?  We're usin' code names..."





Unfortunately, we've already got a digital camera, but I'll check around and see if anyone we know needs one.

i am not allowed to use ours. so i am a no. the little string on the end got me at the autoroma. i spinning it around my finger and it just broke and i brought home a pocket full of pieces. lucky it didn't hit nothing but the floor. WOW! was my wife p'd

WHOA.

whoa.

whoa.

whoa.

whoa.

okay...i tell you what.  i will personally load a pic of her on the card for whomever buys it!  how's that for butterflies and STG?  that's what i thought.

oh, btw will, can i bum a ride to ron's place next thursday around 12noon?  kthx.

Rich, you didn't tell me she was kin to my ex-wife. :P

i'm still finding those elephants on my bike...i've thought about getting a couple classy Cagiva decals...but i think you need to order in bulk from tapeworks to make it worth your while....

oh, did i mention she has big boobs?  just checking.

ummm... I'd personally feel a lot better about you riding cupcake if I had evidence of past heterosexual-ness. Namely pictures of this so-called hottie.  [laugh]

I'll give you a ride, but only if you put a butterfly sticker on your helmet.  ;D

MACRO SETTING?  ...of naked "butterflies"... did I miss something here?

Wish I had a cool macro setting on my digital camera.

i thought so.  but then i don't go for the "dallas girl" look.....

This model has the Clothing Eject button.  It's a must have

Jeez Rich, I thought her knees were boobs at first! Once I picked myself up off the floor and took a closer look I realized those were knees in blue jeans sticking out and not the other. Either way, she's a very pretty woman. Sorry she "kept" your camera. :P

 [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

no doubt.

She looks very decent, I must say... and, hell, there's worse things than butterflies. Maybe you should have been nicer to her?!?  ;D

She can't be all that bad, she's wearing an Austin T-shirt [thum

she's super cute, and she had her good points for sure, but there were plenty of other things to make up for those.  this is why i've sworn of "relationships" for the foreseeable future.  so, like it or not, i look at this group as my collective "girlfriend".   [thumbsup]

 :o :o :o

she broke one of the two requirements.  :o
does she get on your nerves and is the performance in the bedroom good. i guess i'm just a little simple.

The bike or the GF?!?  [laugh] [cheeky]

very much to your first question.  and the other wasn't too shabby...there was a lot of potential for sure.

OK, Rich, so after this you may be sleeping with the wildlife on the HC trip....  [laugh]

i seem to remember someone wanting some certain pieces from a wrecked monster...  that's what i thought.

Well, deal's a deal--just so you know, I hate spooning.  :P

well...it seems that there are forces at work here much larger than i.  the two memory cards i ordered to go along with the new camera (i like to hedge my bets) are both looking to be here today or tomorrow, yet the camera i ordered like a week ago won't even ship until some time in june.  fabulous; thanks Dell.  and no word from the ex as to where my camera is that she still has.  looks like she wins again.  guess i'll just be saving other people's photos into my flickr stream.   :-\

I like that pic.  Don't know where you got it, but I'll be using it for pics of my "girlfriends" going forward also.  I'll try to do it at least on a different thread, but I can't promise a different board...

Here's hoping you grip your new camera tighter ;)

P.S.  CJ loves spooning, he's just talking smack
