Vasquez, do you impact the knee or are the knees you study impacted at different strengths prior to your examination? (please tell me the owners of the said knee are already dead)

What a lovely bunch of madmen and missfits we are.

Well usually we work on cadavers, (so they are dead zhann) but we do also in vivo studies during surgeries, but don't worry we do not take to much time to the surgery and we preserve everything we just digitize the surfaces and hte contact points and let the surgeons make some stress test (into phisiological ranges of course). Ehi... we work to preserve human stuff not to crash it! ,-)

I'm measuring in feet mind you. Not 100 meters. lol.

Bazze, I don't think the images are funny either and don't mean to offend, but they are a great set of pictures explaining what some of us do (or did). I think people have great difficulty understanding conflict unless you've been in it, sometimes pictures like this help break through this idea that modern warfare is 'impersonal'. I'd love to see a few politicians spend a while in conflict zone bfore they can make decisions to join a conflict coz it ain't pretty or nice or heroic it's exciting, but mainly frightening at the same time, you learn who your true buds are and who really are out for themselves. I'd want really good evidence of necessity before joining a conflict, obviously tactical asignments and decisions are a different thing, but the general decision to join is one not to be taken lightly. Sorry to get heavy, normal service will be resumed shortly.

Thats my ugly mug (when i had shorter hair, its much much longer now) and my loving wife.

ah..late to the party, as usual. Shot a rogue watermelon once with a .30-06, tried the G3, Uzi, and Thompson (heavy, but surprisingly stable, little recoil) at the local range..;) I can put a 30' grouping in at about 20 yards..in case of war, they send me to the enemy's army..;) (actually, out of 50 rounds ($60, dang store ammo), I missed the body 3 times..;)

I couldn't find any pictures of Matt Groening (I must admit I didn't look that hard) so I will have to take your word for it that he is as handsome (grin). I believe he is also about 7 1/2 years older.

LOL stayin outta this thread now....goes on about her business humming quietly, trying not to blush too deep figuring out which pair exactly is called pins

Wow what a thread! I have no recent pics due to the hundred or so pounds I gained before finding I had hypothyroidism. It is now under control, I have lost 8 pounds in the last 3 months. If anyone is successful at getting me in front of the camera I promise to post a pick at that time...:P

Diversity, you want a definition, just look here. WOW! Everthing from soup to nuts. Mostly nuts, I would say. Some hot women, cool guys and all around REAL people. Seems we say it like it is and that's what counts. I had an idea reading through this today. Don't know it anyone else had the thought or if it's been tried or done before, but, what about a Bryce "conference" so to speak. OK, OK..a party. We all get together at some centralized location for a weekend of..of...well, whatever. Just an idea. What do yuz all think? Yeah or Nay?

We're pretty spread out, Boomer. What would you consider a "centralized" location?

Somewhere in the mid-Atlantic would be "centralized", lol. It just wouldn't be quite the same without the non-U.S. members of the Forum. We're spread out all over this planet.(Oh,didn't mean to exclude you non-human members ,sorry). Now if the guys at the ultra top-secret "Black Project" labs in Montauk would just commercialize their teleportation devices, we could meet anywhere on planet Earth. Seriously though, it does sound like fun Boomer, but the logistics involved would be a killer!

JC, Rod Stewart said it best. She gotttt LEGS!!!

Wow! Meeting up is gonna be way tricky. No such thing as a central location in the global village. How about West Kent in the UK. Nice and central for me. For a few months, anyway, then Indy will be more central. How about setting a time when we can all crash into the chat room. That's almost like a meeting and more of us can probably make it. Might have to be late GMT in order for our American cousins to be able to get home from work etc. We should have put our locations along with the pictures. I was gonna say age as well, but lets be serious. Phil (DrawbridgeP) Tunbridge Wells, Kent, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Yeah, I know it's kind of far fetched, but it's an idea for anyone willing to. Alternative - Those of us in the US can meet in an agreed upon 'centralized' location and those in the UK and other European countries can set up a place to meet. Yeah, I know we are spread thinly over the whole planet, but it would be a blast. Pictures taken out the wazoo and posted on the net for all of us to make fun at. Like we don't already. I don't know. Sounded like a good idea. If anyone is up for it or has an idea, spit it out. The chat room sounds like a good idea. Most likely it will be late at night for some and early as hell for others.

Well if I could ever win the millions!!! in Lottery, I would foot the bill for 50 or so Brycers to meet for a week in the Carribean, but its got to be millions. Let you guys know the minute I have a winning ticket! :-D Of course if I ever go to Atlantic City again maybe some of us live close enough to meet there.

Rochr, that's too funny. Great artist and a wicked sense of humor. Is there anything you're bad at?

Rochr, you're not suppose to duck!! LOL , Good likeness.

What's the matter Rochr, can't get your transformer body through the door? Or is that your hair? LOL! Ang, I'm in NYC (the other New York), Atlantic City is a mere 2 1/2 to 3 hour drive away for me. Use to hang there during hard unemployed times years ago making a small living playing Blackjack.

Actually, i accidently stumbled on one of my te...my leg!

Oh, just come out and say it .... tentacles!! Me: Age 51 San Diego, California USA Female (despite the name)

@BOOMER and ZHANN : When I need to open up a lost mine, or buried treasure you are gonna be the ones that get the call. LOL

LOL, not a prob, GG. I'm there. I'm in North Jersey, so if any of you guys are making it to the NYC metro area, give me a heads up. It's only 15 minutes away.

I am 48 and live in Apache Junction, Arizona.

Hey K-star how does it feel hanging out online with the grandparents??LOLOL

@GG, hey you're close to me, I'm on the western slope, Colorado.... Lost mine, way cool, I'm there, I have some background in archeology, so I'll be able to translate those nasty curses too...;]

ROFL @ Rochr! I knew it, I just knew it! Oh, and that's a great self-portrait darkpoodle!

Nice pic Zhann,......and nice rug on the floor.

Ok so my wife has offered to take my picture this weekend if any wants to see my mug!

Oh, OK, Indiana Jan. Where's the sidearm and the whip? Nevermind. I don't want to know about the whip, but hey, you're a hottie. (btw, I like your other pic, too) Oh yeah, you up for blasting some mines? Rochr, it's about time you showed up. I was starting to think that Vazquez had one of your ten..legs on the block. Glad you're still in one piece, even if youa re going in 8 directions at one time. Poodle, what happened, man? Fell asleep at the keyboard and imbeded your glasses in your skull? Nice image. Vile...we put up. Now it's your turn big guy.

Ok this weekend just no shooting Boomer.

Well, since I had no prior experience here (and no expectations as a result), you all look just like you're supposed to ... tentacles, bone saws and all.

Rod Duchaineau (age 43) Jewett City, Connecticut (Eastern Connecticut, 20 minutes from Rhode Island) Nice Pic Jan, very Carmen Sandiago or Catherine Hepburn. Never imagined you to be sport'n a LadySmith or a Brick of C4. ;)

Oh and as to my pic.....here's one I took earlier...much earlier.......

Zhann: www.pyrohobby.com or www.tannerite.com; I used to be on a bomb squad. Gotta love the boom!

Boomer: Any excuse for a party (or to get out of Jersey!)

Vile: That's what it's called? "Rumpspringa"? And of course there is always a catch, "atonement".

Ornlu: Good numbers all the way around. Boomer's talking about the opcipitalocular cavity (spelling?)

Vasquez: Anything you could pass on for those of us with bum knees?

Gog: 40mm's of pure fun!!

Humorix: Good to see you again! Looking forward to those amazing creations of yours.

Darkpoodle; Just too funny!

HEYY Bryster is left handed! me too!!

@ DrawbridgeP, Tunbridge Wells I used to live there, just on the border with Southborough
