Vacuity

[RSL]

How about getting rid of Street Showcase, which few LuLa visitors grasp, and substitute a segment called Vacuity Showcase? We could include threads with everybody's "ride," everybody's pets, and the Photo Chain Challenge. Nobody would be allowed to post a serious photograph in Vacuity Showcase, and we could have almost as good arguments about what's "serious" as we had about politics.

Yes, let’s delete the street showcase, the sub forum where the utterly street-vacuity is applauded and the better work ignored.

Let’s start a Jurassic showcase. Full of images approved by Lula’s dinosaurs.

First, I think we need a lengthy and heated discussion on the proper definitions of Vacuity, and a list of the top twenty practitioners of the Art of Vacuity.
That should slow down the posting of photos a bit.

Now, this is really funny.  I think we "may" all have too much time on our hands.  LOL

Exactly, Eric! Slowing down the posting of vacuous photographs would be a great service to mankind, and especially a service to LuLa visitors.

Sounds like a plan.

Apart from the so called vacuity topics, I have the impression Lula is close to death. A bit animation doesn’t hurt?

Can someone suggest a text book for me to buy?  As for "serious" photos, I don't have any.  I take photos for fun.

I'd be proud to put myself forward.

I'm sorry; I can't accept that your images are capable of fitting this pìgeon hole at all.

I move that you be banned immediately for false representations made with the definite and heinous objective of insinuating yourself into a position of power, predicated upon the consumption of too many megapixels than are good for you.

I think Doctor Ivo would be a good and very safe pair of rubber gloves within which to place our faith; his visions of atrophy and untimely death should not be taken lightly. As Winston said: I love a good puff in the mornings; one at noon and several before bed.

There's nothing else left to add.

And I mean this in all humility, all seriousness, and in absolutely all moods, circumstances and surroundings.

I, myself, refuse to accept nomination until it is unanimous. But never, ever, will I partake of said smoke again.

+1. Nothing more to be said.

I don't remember mentioning anything about my images.

You see what I mean? Too much political nous. (This is not intended to throw francophones off the scent.)

Inflamed from Norwich, or perhaps even Budleigh Salterton.

(That should throw even the Americans off the scent!)

:-)

[Eric Myrvaagnes]

I love it!

This thread already has more meaningful content than all the old, banned political discussions!

As George Costanza's father would shout, "SERENITY NOW!!!"

Like all good vacuums, takes all comers

Really?

Is this the pout section of Lula?

Well, you could add ‘music’ topics to your vacuity list as well.

At least, in the ‘ride’ and ‘chain’ topics, photography is involved and functional. This is called: photography with a purpose.

Vacuity?

Not everyone is sucked into Florida vacuity.

No, no no!

Florida is there as a national protection: consult an Ordnace and Survey map of the grand old US of A and see where the lines place that state: front line, baby, front line sacrificial - just like my part of Mallorca! The beauty is, it confirms my sense of purpose. No longer do I feel I was just here to eat the lotus flowers of middle-age (mine), but to look after the Golden Calf and, one day, hopefully soon, sell it on to another, younger guardian in time for my own safe exodus whilst the exiting is good.

But you never know: Paris has banned the diesel car - how long before the rest of the country does, turning my planned grand tour back to the land of drizzle and claymores into illegality?

;-(

Exactly why I changed back to Gasoline with a dash of electric and for the fun gliding around with a decent bike.

Explain more about Florida, please. Do I understand it correctly, is it like the Indian reservation for retired not natives who finds satisfaction in wandering around on the internet instead of finding satisfaction in liquor?

You had to ditch the car anyway. The car needs to be a classic romantic, or a romantic classic. Sell the d*mn apartment and buy the ugly black mustang. No need for a new paintjob just yet considering it is better left till *after* Paris.

And btw guys (and galls): don't you recognise reverse psychology?

Russ simply is counting on us doing the exact opposite again of what he intended...
