Those sketches are beautiful, eth. I've lost one or two people actually. Anyone know an Andria originally from Oklahoma? Or maybe a Karen with two beautiful boys?

i have some mpgs of the real santa claus who was just over, having a drink.
i need to find space to host it.

I've actually lost several cyber friends from BeliefNet. Literally. The most recent, DMsteph, passed away December 5.

It's very strange and sad and bittersweet to read old posts by someone who has passed.

btw, it's easier and faster than lugging expensive equipment around, bound paper and burned matchsticks

Those are beautiful sketches. I'm still to young to have lost too many people. But if anyone knows a lady named Stephanie Hope in California who left her three children, let me know. Also, I'll host those Santa vids. I actually have a few myself. He really is quite jolly.

posted by ethylene 10 December | 22:37

I've been looking for a tall skinny elf-like hippy dude named "Rafe Williams", last seen driving a white VW microbus camper with a distinctive "conning tower" style center-only poptop. He's a photographer. There's a few others I'm missing as well.

Those sketches are gorgeous, ethylene, as usual. Are you sketching those from memory?

posted by loquacious 10 December | 22:40

I'll look for either/or.

posted by panoptican 10 December | 22:43

no, they were there or sleeping
they're very old
it's the kind of stuff hitler liked
that's what sketchbooks are for

i'm very tempted to find crap to fix and edit the mpgs first, it's on it's side and not just the bit at the end i want
should i post it anyway?
(later i ask him what he wants for christmas)
i've never edited mpgs before
can i brighten it? i don't think you can see the christmas frog.

posted by ethylene 10 December | 22:55

what the hell
it is the real santa
fix it if you can
i'm gonna make him a holly wreath and dress as ~~satan~~krumpus. all we need is a crap guitar or a portable stereo.
i wanna carry the red bucket

posted by ethylene 10 December | 23:10

It didn't work for me. Well the audio did, my there was no visualization of the audio. Anyone else having the same problem?

posted by panoptican 10 December | 23:14

i wonder what that steve knudsen guy is doing now. good thing i have people sign their pics if i don't know them

posted by ethylene 10 December | 23:17

if that's your real email, i'll send it directly.
it's from an old sony camera and runs in real player for me.

posted by ethylene 10 December | 23:18

Actually, I just got it to work. For some reason Media Player Classic doesn't like it. But Windows Media Player did a fine job. Is Santa smoking a cigarette?

Here's a permanent link for the videoin case YSI craps out.

posted by panoptican 10 December | 23:25

yes, santa smokes.
santa smokes a lot.

posted by ethylene 10 December | 23:32
