+ Quote of the Moment +
"He looks at the world through jaded brown eyes, but deep down inside he's a lost soul just trying to find his way home."

"The Albatross", Charles Baudelaire: (our comments)

Often, to amuse themselves, the men of a crew
Catch albatrosses, those vast sea birds
That indolently follow a ship
As it glides over the deep, briny sea.

Scarcely have they placed them on the deck
Than these kings of the sky, clumsy, ashamed,
Pathetically let their great white wings
Drag beside them like oars.

That winged voyager, how weak and gauche he is,
So beautiful before, now comic and ugly!
One man worries his beak with a stubby clay pipe;
Another limps, mimics the cripple who once flew!

The poet resembles this prince of cloud and sky
Who frequents the tempest and laughs at the bowman;
When exiled on the earth, the butt of hoots and jeers,
His giant wings prevent him from walking.

Thanks for starting.

Much easier this time, lol.

emesoohci · 04-26-2009, 08:37 PM

TFTNT. That must have felt rather painless compared to the last one.

**Majora's Mask** · 04-26-2009, 08:41 PM

I love this OP

So nice and easy!

emesoohci · 04-26-2009, 08:47 PM

Ah, simplicity. It can be a wonderful thing.

**playgroundDiaries** · 04-26-2009, 08:52 PM

Hey, Dylan would actually agree with that statement.

**Majora's Mask** · 04-26-2009, 08:53 PM

Good call.

Edit/ Me no speak good English

Oh, he absolutely would. He's a no-frills kind of guy. Porsches not withstanding.

**playgroundDiaries** · 04-26-2009, 09:20 PM

I had caught that, Court, LOL. Then decided ...

Yeah, there he goes contradicting himself again. Only the minimal essentials in life required. ... + My $100K car. (or is it? I have no idea what any car goes for)

I thought it might be another of those weird Aussie statements.

Uh, brand new, try 200k plus.

And living in a posh BH hotel wasn't exactly frugal of him.

But I think he could have lived just fine without those things, too.

so Dylan... haha! I wonder what they did with that car when they were done with it on the show? It is still my dream car for if I ever get rich one day....altho I will be torn between the black one and the silver one he gets car-jacked in

I liked that one! and it feels a bit more my style

emesoohci · 04-26-2009, 09:55 PM

One like his black one would be considered even more of a classic now than it was then. Ex.pen.sive.

The kind of Porsche I would really want is closer to 400k. I need to buy a lottery ticket.

**playgroundDiaries** · 04-26-2009, 09:57 PM

Silver one FTW!

I didn't know you had a dream car. I'm sure the production staff only temporarily leased both, the latter only for a few days of shooting. They have 'actual' owners now.

January174 · 04-26-2009, 09:59 PM

you should buy one Jac!

Altho I tell you, if I was driving a porsche at night, and stopped at a red light, I would have an awful feeling some kid was gonna point a gun in my face and say "Get outta the car Suckaaaaa"

I laugh but seriously I would be scared all the time, maybe it's a bad idea

emesoohci · 04-26-2009, 10:00 PM

I'd rather drive the Silver one, too.

But I never picture Dylan in it. He belongs in the Speedster.

Oh, yeah, I'll get right on that. I'll park it in front of my mansion.

Buy your own gun. That's what Dylan would say!
