Not much to get too worked up about: I just decided to head out on
Sunday morning and take in the Disinfection Park as I went. Only one
photo on site. It's quite a pleasant place though: actually the
central building depicted in photo turns out to be the municipal
laboratory, and the surrounding gardens were designed by a local(?)
architect called Coll i Bacardi, or Bacardi and Coke to his friends.
And no-one else seems to go there. I suspect my initial impression
that it had something to do with a Sewage Treatment Plant was a case
of mistaken identity.

"Mr Moose" BTW was a devious Fawlty Towers Reference. I don't like to
think of Mr Event having to cover ASL's entire Obscure Quote Quota all
on his tod.

Yikes...I still have not gone...I always check posts before email, a sort
of habit, where I can only read posts online but can at the limit ansdwer
emails offline....Therefore the posts first before the online time dies.
But lately I ahve not got to email....(other account).

Will send this oen there too, to follow as I go check it out ..

It really is a lovely little building looking like a fairy tale house:)
With it beign a lab, I better can imagine why it woudl be called the
desinfection park:)

In fatc they rppobably create big bad viri in there and mask it with an
ascepticized name;-)

Maybe not.....It actually woudl amke sense with the "lab" and park name.

Huh?

Sorry, can;t even relate to what this ever coudl be about.

BTW, I went last night to check the site and had a few laiughs rememebrign
old days of ugly feet competition, before you surrenderd and admitted that
yours were after all way prettier feet than mine:):).

There must be so many massacred XMas carrols missing in there though....
It occired to em that I always wrote "ugly" woth two "g"s, saying my feet
were uggggly enough to have more than oen G to express that fact.
Maybe a google search on uGGly woudl then lead to onefo the main threads
with the massacred XMas carrols.
I'd like to reread them, and why not, it coudl be a fun XMas site to make
for those who are bored each year, and might want to conbtribute with
their own version of it all:)

As for the piccie of your supposed ugly feet, I see you are gettign more
reasonable and admittign that they are not ugly at all after all, if covering
their beauty with black socks (and a gasping cat due to odor, which does
NOT count as ugly, just as smelly:)), to still try and cheat and win this
ugly feet competition:).

ine right now are wrinkled with swelling. Toes are purple. I mean the nail
polish on them is burgandy, the toes themself purple:):).Looks very
ugggggly as those two colors do not complement each other one bit.
I wear balck sandals with a straw sole, to make it stick out more:). Tis
way the world will already be convinced no one has uglier feet before they
even reach your webpage, nah ner:)

Ya gotta get up early to have uggglier feet than me!:)

Wow!!!! All those on that wire are parakeets????
Sheesh!!!!
And with all those around, you still coudl not find me an egg?????????

Rrrhahrh!

I wndered if there was text or something on the site that I missed...If I
moved the mouse towards the snails images, text would soemtiems flash adn
disapear.....

Erm...What did I do wrong...?

In one of the episodes ("The Germans"?) there was a Moose's Head that was
supposed to go up onto a wall. "Mr Moose is up, up, up..." <CRASH>

That picture was taken some time ago, after the infection or whatever it was
that prevented me from wearing shoes except tied to the soles of my feet.
They have actually got quite a lot worse since then. Expect new picture this
weekend. I think the trophy will be mine this year.

They make their nests in the tops of palm trees, of which there are several
in e.g. the Parc Sant Jordi, about five minutes from here. However, I am not
as good at tree climbing as I was when I was nine.

The idea I originally had was to make it so that when you moved the mouse
over the word "parakeet", the snails would do a smooth somersault. However,
I couldn't find anything resembling a timer object in Javascript to time the
intervals between switching the pictures, so in the end I just made it so
that the snails would move round to the next position each time the mouse
moved over a different letter of the title. It's not very good. I'll
probably get rid of that.

There was more text but most of it was obsolete and/or silly and/or
embarrassing so I made it invisible.

I remember that I used to name those threads smethign like song massacres.
But I mad searches for those years of way back and never coudl find a
thread of them. specially the forst year where we did that, where some
were just completely wacko:). I;d love to reread them but can;t ever find
the entire thread, just the lost post...

I will have to try and see if I can find the camera and a film. Wish I had
digital. Well, there you go: I want a digital cam for my bday, nah:).
(and I want it to come in a nice brand new, dependable, warantee,
replacement car when serviced, car, towing a trailer in which will be a
clothes washer and dryer, and a dishwasher. I will happily send you
digital pix of my face when I see it all arrive:)

Hm..I worked hard on my toes to try and make them less ugly the last
years. I keep scultping toe shapes in masses of dead toe flesh, and with
time, I get to really make them look more like toes and less like rotten
celery...The tweo Eat Eat borke recently FEEL blue, but are not any
different in blue than the others (yet?). But Eat Eat keeps trying!!:)

Any favorite socks I should wear for the piccie?:)

Is post-proof proof that comes after the fact is known to everyone?
But sure. As soon as I can get my hands or feet on a digital, I will email
you a pic and you can post it.

Incidentally, recently, I decided that from each penpal visiting will be
asked a print of their feet. I will make them step in water color and walk
on a blank canvas, and decorate the house with that:).
I am thinking feet and side of closed fist, all on one same sheet.
Thought it could make for a fun collection.
I hope they visit Liz first so she collects the nail clippings, then sends
them here to be "printed" without their scratching my door down:)

They actually DID the sommersault for me!! Honest!
I wondered what I had touched to make it happen, but they did do the
sommersault:).

However, as I tried to slide the mouse here or there to try and see how I
ahd got them to do it, I coudl see *sometimes* the snails vanishing a
millisecond and a column of text apearing a flash fo a second in that space...
I then thought there must be a trick to get to the text that I did not
catch...
