Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

Well, I also have the sense to avoid the really bad spots in town (there are areas around here I wouldn't drive through, let alone walk).

Pics of the shoot? Not really much to it, they blocked off the block, and the alleys around it, so all you could see were the kleighlights shining into the building they were shooting at. I just got pics of some of the Myers Motors cars and RQR XR-3, and some of the prop cars in the alleys.

Strangely enough, I was watching RED today, and recognized areas of New Orleans, Mobile, and Pensacola, and don't remember the local paper ever mentioning filming at Santa Rosa Sound for that movie. Would have been nice to check it out...

New Orleans unsafe? Psh. I just spend almost a week there, wandering the streets at midnight, no problems.

Then again, I am over 6' tall, size 16 feet and hands to match, and I can project dangerous when needed.

N.O. was fun, they were filming a Bruce Willis film called Looper right around the corner, but I never actually saw him. Got some nice pics of the "futuristic" cars parked off-set, though (not so futuristic when I own plans for one of them).

And got my email for earbuds. Whoopee. I'll add them to the Ziploc of about 20 unused pairs I have. Sure would like the cash for the truck or Harley, though...

The length of a person's foot is approximately 15 percent of his or her height.

Use this proporation for your calculations: 15/100 = Length of Foot/x (person's height)

yeah I'd like to see some pics also

Scorpion,
I sent you 2 PMs. Ignore both. They are about memory but the Crucial was Dram, not Sodimm.

I give up. I just think there aren't any real good deals out there right now.

Proportions don't always work out...I also said I was over 6', but not by how much ;-) I will say I was shorter than one of the Bad Guys in the shoot, but he says he is 5'19"...

I don't have basketballer feet and hands, but they're big enough. My pinky is a size 10 ring size. And my feet keep "growing" - most likely mostly arch collapse, but I was only size 13 in high school, and just kept going. I can fit some size 15s, but most shoes, I have to go to 16 to avoid toe cramp. I also have moved to 2E width in the last few years. It makes finding shoes very difficult.

Gary - I'll try to upload the pics soon. I still haven't gone through them, I was just playing with my OWTW camera. I took about 20min of HD video of a MG parade last Sat, but I had to stop here and there to fit it on what was left of the card that came with the cam, and change batteries once. I was left with about 2min of vid or 107 pics in space on the 4Gig SD. I'm going to pull the video to my MBP and hook it to the TV to watch the parade soon to see how it turned out.
