15. Hey, how many good graphic designers stay in Lithuania rather than...
go somewhere more lucrative?

curling lip will stay at least 4 inches below your eyebrows..... :)

4. Backdrops make it hard for the Jackal to aim. They confuse his
sense of distance, etc. Same reason minnows travel in schools.

5. I like yelling out directions too...
Ok guys, this is an important point... zoom in... steady steady... slowly... ok, tight head shot... ok, he's smirking now... zoom out... slowly... slowly... now, cut to the audience perspective!

13. Holey-moley, dude!
I just looked at your profile. You're in Somerville! Isn't that where the dreaded traffic circle is???

I lived in Morristown for a while, while my wife was working in Princeton. I nearly lost my life at the Somerville traffic circle several times!

Nightmares!

;)

17. Yup - same place.
I don't know how long you've been away from the area but there's now an overpass for those traveling past Somerville - they can just stay on 202 and go over the circle but if you have to go through the circle it's still a mess. My father used to call it the Idiot's Anonymous Meeting Hall and as far as I can tell they still have meetings every day.

BTW, Chimptude - too good to go without a pic:

18. Idiots Anonymous . . .
. . . I like that.

We only lived there in 89-90. Had a lot of fun in Jersey, traffic-circles notwithstanding . . .

Glad to hear that they made an overpass. I worked with a guy in Morristown who used to grouse, "They oughta blow the damned thing up and start over!" I heartily agreed. He also told me that the diner there on the east side of the circle was very good back in the sixties, but it got too dangerous to even go there.


:hi:
