Soak that in. Just back from the framer. I found the poster at the Rose Bowl Flea Market and nearly plotzed. It’s so beautiful. I actually owned an Ami6 once that I pulled out of the desert.

It hadn’t been started in 20 years and fired right up with a carb cleaning and some fuel. It also looked like a family of goats had used the hood as a trampoline, but it was rust free. Unfortunately, the frame was cracked and I had other projects and not much room, so I didn’t keep it too long. But, I rescued it, and I’ll find another some day. And, the poster is pretty much life sized.

What a strange poster. Would this be something that would have been in a dealership?

Jonee > Berang 01/28/2016 at 21:25

0

I’m not sure, actually. It’s not like other dealership posters I’ve seen, but that could just be because it’s French. It appears to be part of a series.

Very interesting! How many in the set?

Lovely! This is the kind of thing I want to see adorning my living room when I get my own place! French and Italian rides, especially! :)

I’ve always loved the Ami...I imagine getting the frame repaired on the one you rescued would’ve been quite the affair though... :(

Jonee > RallyWrench 01/29/2016 at 00:46

GIS brings up two, this one and the overhead view one. And, it looks like they did something similar for the Ami 8.

Jonee > RallyDarkstrike - Fan of 2-cyl FIATs, Eastern Bloc & Kei cars 01/29/2016 at 00:51

That one’s in my bedroom. Love French cars.

The guy I sold the car to did fix it and he said it wasn’t all that bad. I don’t quite have the skills for that type of thing, so I’m glad it went to someone who does.

Jobjoris > Jonee 01/29/2016 at 04:47

Life sized? How big is it? Looks great. It’s from Robert Delpire’s advertising agency, Delpire Publicité. Delpire had clients that included Citroën. He produced sales brochures and posters for Citroën, using the work of famous photographers like Helmut Newton and Sarah Moon. Not sure who shot this one.

So it probably was meant to be in a dealership. But these go for great bucks over here (way over 100 euros), what did you pay?

Glad to hear it! I’ve always thought the mi was underated by a lot of people. Yes, essentially a 2CV underneath, but fairly stylish for the time, and that just made them more reliable! :)

Jonee > Jobjoris 01/29/2016 at 14:55

This one does have a Helmut Newton vibe with the black and white and simple boldness of it. No gorgeous naked people, though. Sarah Moon’s work was much dreamier. But, also sometimes had naked folks although her models didn’t look like they could kill you. It does say Delpire Publicité, but I didn’t know much about them. Very interesting. I’ll have to do a little research. Citroën marketing from that era is the best. I wasn’t sure if it was dealership or just for advertising, but a dealership poster makes the most sense. It’s just not the normal size I see those. I was just joking about the life-sized thing. It’s about the size of a movie poster. 29"x42" roundabouts. They were asking $100 for it, but I talked them down to 75, so I guess I got a deal.

Jobjoris > Jonee 01/29/2016 at 15:16

1

Newton was the first I was thinking about. Can’t remember if these were in the Berlin Helmut Newton Museum. Probably not because I would not have forgotten that ;-)

$75 is a great deal, check these auction results on the one viewed from above. But... You did buy this to enjoy yourself so why would we care. It’s awesome!

Jonee > Jobjoris 01/31/2016 at 04:55

1

When I was in college, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston had a big Helmut Newton retrospective, but there were no Citroëns there, either. Lots of nudes, though. It was like Dutch cinema in there.

I saw there was one of these on Ebay recently for $175, so I guess the guy I got it from didn’t know what he had. Or, he figured Americans wouldn’t be as interested. It looks great on the wall. I have it above my couch and I see it as I walk in the door. Really sharp. Maybe I’ll come across its companion one day for over the t.v. But, I’m not paying 200 bucks.

Jobjoris > Jonee 01/31/2016 at 16:53

1

That’s why I’m a bit in doubt about the Citroën’s poster is from Helmut. No nudity. Classy or otherwise. The man is a true artist, my favorite photographer probably. Maybe I should try an LaLD-post in Newton’s style. I need more Barbies.

My living room will never have such a great thing above the couch or TV. Maybe a picture of our beloved Queen and King...

Jonee > Jobjoris 02/02/2016 at 03:32

1

Haha. A Helmut Newton LaLD post would be epic. Josje isn’t into Barbies, yet? I’ve always been a big admirer of his as well. And Sarah Moon, actually. She’s not as well known here, though. If I had to pick a favorite photographer it might be Robert Frank, who is probably the biggest American name outside of Ansel Adams. He invented street photography. Good stuff.

How about a picture of them in the DAF Kini? That should satisfy everyone.

Jobjoris > Jonee 02/02/2016 at 05:00

1

Well he did some shoots for the Pirelli Calendar, maybe I can get some input from there. It could be a Teutonic Tuesday with whatever car is on display with the Helmut Newton angle. Just don’t think a lot of LaLD-readers will actually know him ;-)

Robert Frank, the poet amongst photographers. And then Ansel Adams: Is it coincidence these all mainly shot in B/W? Well, for Frank and Adams probably not due to their period of birth...

I’m not sure if these are there with our current king/queen. It probably would B&W as well:

Jonee > Jobjoris 02/03/2016 at 02:37

1

I bet some folks know who he is, or at least would recognize his work. It’s a more eclectic group around here than they get credit for.

For a long time, I guess, color wasn’t considered artistic enough. It was for snapshots. It wasn’t until the 70's really, with guys like William Eggleston that color got respect as fine art.

Why isn’t every generation of the royal family photographed in that car? It should be required. Come to think of it, they should also be required to drive it as a point of Dutch pride.

Jobjoris > Jonee 02/03/2016 at 06:07

1

On Oppo maybe, LaLD I’m not that sure of.

I should really do a B&W shoot anyway.

That’s a good point. As the B&W picture above is of our former queen and husband (then still princess) it can still be done. Would be an excellent promotional stunt for the museum!

Jonee > Jobjoris 02/04/2016 at 03:38

1

A b&w shoot is a good idea. I haven’t seen a noir post. You’d have to pick the right car.

Get on the horn and tell someone over there. They can recreate one of these shots. It would be great. For some reason I just noticed the little roof canopy. It’s adorable. I was so focused on the gorgeous bodywork.

Jobjoris > Jonee 02/04/2016 at 05:14

1

Some shots this week’s French Friday have somewhat less colour to give it a somewhat authentic feel. You’ll totally love the subject. It’s odd.

I contacted Rob Kieft, conservator at the museum. Added it’s the 60th birthday of the Kini this year and it could be a nice publicity-stunt for the museum. Let’s see if they can gather all parties necessary. I can imagine our king having a full schedule.

Jonee > Jobjoris 02/05/2016 at 02:20

1

Oh, great. Kings are probably pretty busy, but it shouldn’t take long and they’ve got the whole year to do it. It’s for Dutch pride, man. I imagine there’s a diecast out there. You should do your own tribute. Or, have you already done a Kini post? Still, it is the 60th anniversary and that car can’t get enough love.

Jobjoris > Jonee 02/05/2016 at 06:01

1

If there’s one company that makes it it’s probably Matrix (that made that Troutman & Barnes 911 of mine, that Dutch company I want to visit). Just checked it: Nope. They do a nice Daf Kalmar though:

No: no Kini post yet. First I’ll have to find one in 1/43.

Jonee > Jobjoris 02/07/2016 at 17:18

1

It looks like some guy makes a resin model of it? It’s on this page. This was the only scale model I could find myself.

http://www.dafinminiatuur.nl/159399357

That’s a very nice Kalmar, actually. It doesn’t look like a postal one, either. I forgot about those. It’s right up Torch’s alley. Expect him to do a post on it in 3... 2... 1...

Jobjoris > Jonee 02/08/2016 at 03:23

1

Chris de Koning, de guy creating these resin (massive, so you have to do stuff yourself, cut out the windows, paint, etc!) models stopped doing it as it was too hard a labor. Stephan (from dafminiatuur.nl) talks to the guy frequently and will ask if he has a Kini and a Siluro.

Hahahaha, better count backwards, Torch did a piece on it way back. Maybe he’s sharing it again.

Jonee > Jobjoris 02/09/2016 at 02:45

1

That’s interesting. Was he well known for his resin models? There’s also what he calls an expensive kit of the Siluro on that page that looks nice.

Oh, I think I remember that now. I wouldn’t be surprised if he finds a way to remind everyone about it.

Jobjoris > Jonee 02/09/2016 at 04:49

1

No, just locally. Only had stands on exhibitions, no site whatsoever. The Siluro kit is from DRA, De Roos Autominiaturen. They have a site but when you look at that you’re thrown back 20 years, give or take. I don’t understand why Matrix didn’t make one yet.

Jonee > Jobjoris 02/11/2016 at 02:09

1

Whoa. Is that the first website ever? I can’t even figure out what’s going on. How do they sell any product? I’m definitely surprised there’s no Siluro anywhere. It’s so good looking, it would make a really cool diecast model. And it would be a great Daf-turday post.

Jobjoris > Jonee 02/11/2016 at 04:02

1

I think it’s just from the period everyone just “had to be on the internet”. You still have to just go to their store. Physically. Anyway.

Daf-turday. I get the urge now to get me some Matrix’s...

Jonee > Jobjoris 02/12/2016 at 02:57

1

Do it. LaLD has been Daf-less for too long.

Or, should I say, “Daf-icient.”

Jobjoris > Jonee 02/12/2016 at 07:23

1

It will proof to be Dafficult having no cast yet...

Jonee > Jobjoris 02/15/2016 at 23:17

1

Go to the store one Dafternoon.

Jobjoris > Jonee 02/16/2016 at 03:24

1

Not sure if that will be any Dafferent.

Jonee > Jobjoris 02/17/2016 at 02:52

1

Daf’s what she said.

Jobjoris > Jonee 02/17/2016 at 05:50

1

All she said to me this morning was “Why didn’t you Dafrost my windows properly?”

Jonee > Jobjoris 02/18/2016 at 22:51

1

Dafuck did you screw up dafrosting the windows?

Jobjoris > Jonee 02/19/2016 at 06:50

1

Well it’s freezing like hell over here. And while I was cleaning those damn windows all I could hear were some DAF punk songs. And some Daf Jam productions.

Jonee > Jobjoris 02/22/2016 at 01:05

1

No Sly & DAFamily Stone? Well, try not to be daftracted next time you’re dafrosting.

Jobjoris > Jonee 02/22/2016 at 04:52

1

Nope. Next time I’m heading back inside and check out Platoon again. Great admirer of Willem DAFoe.

Jonee > Jobjoris 02/23/2016 at 02:42

1

I was just watching the comedy classic Spaceballs starring American actress DAFne Zuniga.

Jobjoris > Jonee 02/23/2016 at 12:55

1

Ah, lovely Jo from Melrose Place ! I’m a more classical guy though, checking out Who’s DAFraid of Virginia Woolf? as we speak!

Jonee > Jobjoris 02/24/2016 at 03:34

1

You loved your nighttime soaps, didn’t you? There was just a documentary on about that movie’s director, Mike Nichols. He also made The DAFduate with Daftin Hoffman.

Jobjoris > Jonee 02/24/2016 at 04:42

1

Nope, I can’t stand soap. Spaceballs was way better than MP . Especially when Lord Helmet put the Hyper Drive into RiDAFulous Speed!

Jonee > Jobjoris 02/25/2016 at 02:18

1

What about your love of Dynasty ? That was a soap.

And, of course, DAFne played Princess Vespa. Mel Brooks wants to make Spaceballs 2 . Maybe she could have a daughter named Ape.

Jobjoris > Jonee 02/25/2016 at 14:15

1

Not Dynasty for it self, that was just my obsession for DAFerine Oxenberg!

Hahaha. Ape would be cool. What about Piaggio ? Or Ciao !

Jonee > Jobjoris 02/26/2016 at 01:04

1

Oh, I see. Your other Princess. We should use her and DAFper Van Dien for our Wanke r l campaign. We could call them the Royal Family of Rotaries, or something.

Sprint . Giesse . Lot of good names.

Jobjoris > Jonee 02/26/2016 at 04:12

1

DAFper van Dien, of course! The Royal Rotaries. I smell a hugely successful sitcom spin-off coming along! The King of DAFs !

Rally . Best one will be PX125 EFL though.

Jonee > Jobjoris 02/28/2016 at 23:42

1

They could be the fictional heads of the Wanke r l Automobile Corp. And, they have all sorts of wacky hijinks juggling family, etc. But, really, every episode would be a commercial for the car. We’d never have to pay for advertising once it became a hit.

Jobjoris > Jonee 02/29/2016 at 04:45

1

Haha, has that been pulled off before? Wait a minute: Knight Rider!!!!

Jonee > Jobjoris 03/01/2016 at 03:16

1

Totally Knight Rider . And then they did a remake where it was a Mustang which made no sense. Also, Rockford Files was a big showcase for the Firebird.

Jobjoris > Jonee 03/01/2016 at 08:53

1

That remake really was nonsense. Rockford Files , sounds like fun. Good score on IMDB.

Jonee > Jobjoris 03/02/2016 at 02:49

1

The remake was utter garbage. It’s kind of hard to do a show about a talking car these days, I think. It was perfectly 80's.

Besides Columbo , The Rockford Files was the best 70's detective show. Killer theme music. And James Garner was great.

Jobjoris > Jonee 03/02/2016 at 07:35

1

After the talking Renault 25 V6 incident I was fed up with taling cars anyway...

Great to hear, I’ll certainly check the Rockford Files out. That golden Firebird is awesome. It’s such a shame these have the rep for having a pathetic roadholding (compared to European standards) as I really adore those lines.

Jonee > Jobjoris 03/03/2016 at 03:11

1

Haha. My mother had a talking Nissan Maxima. I always liked how it said “thank you” when you fastened your seat belt.

Americans didn’t really know what good handling was at that time. Flopping all over the place was what they expected. It is a pretty car. James Garner, the star, did most of his own driving, and he really knew how to get a lot out of that thing. Some great car chases on that show.

Jobjoris > Jonee 03/03/2016 at 04:22

1

As if you were doing the Maxima a favor. Wait a minute, are you trying to make this thread about our lovely Argentinian Queen as well?

I’m afraid I’ll have to see RF on Youtube, no downloads. Too old for NetFlix. Now I want to see James hoonin’ that VuurVogel!

Jonee > Jobjoris 03/03/2016 at 15:00

1

If you waited to fasten your belt, it would still remember and thank you no matter how long after she asked you to wear it it was. What do you mean? Was she the voice of Nissan, too?

That’s too bad. It’s on U.S. Netflix. When I need a good dose of 70's nostalgia, I put one on. I guess they figure you Dutchies have never heard of Jim Rockford. Here’s a good compilation of Firebird action. That J-turn where he reverses and spins the car around is also called a Rockford Turn. His signature move.

Jobjoris > Jonee 03/04/2016 at 04:29

1

No. Our Queen’s name is... Máxima Zorreguieta!

There should be a spectacular move done by a Le Car named the Eisen as well. I’m off skiing in a few weeks in Mayrhofen. They have an Eisen Bar over there IIRC!

Our Netflix doesn’t have all those classic series. Just remakes of them (Fuller House).

Jonee > Jobjoris 03/07/2016 at 03:10

1

Oh, right. Máxima. She can tell me to fasten my seatbelt any time.

I know what move is. It’s me pushing it. An Eisen Bar? That’s where the Eisens are from, so maybe they’re distant relatives. You’ll have to go check it out. There’s one in Bremen, too, apparently.

Jobjoris > Jonee 03/07/2016 at 10:51

1

Well, actually it’s called the IceBar but from now on we’re referencing to it by the Eisen Bar . It’s getting warmer next week so we’ll have to see if we can actually go. But hey... Else I’m of to see my friend Arie in Riga. No Eisen Bar there, just Karaoke!

Jonee > Jobjoris 03/08/2016 at 00:51

1

Well, just make sure you don’t find yourself behind some eisen bars. That’s a pretty fun backup plan. Is ski season winding down already? We usually can go to the first week of April here.

Jobjoris > Jonee 03/08/2016 at 04:06

1

It is getting warmer and we can solve a lot with those T40 snowcanons nowadays but it certainly won’t be pretty. We could go to France alternatively (higher altitude) but I refuse to go there for wintersports. Let’s just wait and see. Riga is awesome. Need to see his new house and newborn kid anyway.

Jonee > Jobjoris 03/09/2016 at 04:49

1

I’ve never liked when they make snow. It’s not like the real stuff. Maybe they do it better now. I’ve always been biased since they make a lot of snow in the northeast, but Colorado never used to do it. They do now a bit, though.

Riga is another one of those places that looks magical in pictures. They could film Game of Thrones there. I’d like to see it myself some day.

Jobjoris > Jonee 03/09/2016 at 08:15

1

You still can tell the difference. But then again: It still is better than skiing on grass.

Latvia is magical. And Riga is a gem. Outside Riga there’s still old Moskwitsch and VAZ’s. In Riga you see Bentleys on every streetcorner. In some areas.

Best part are the beaches of Jrmala. Everybody sunning on the sand: no one in the water. While it is 25+ degrees Celsius outside. That water still is freezing cold though.

Jonee > Jobjoris 03/09/2016 at 21:28

1

I thought you guys over there would love skiing on grass. ;-) Actually, grass skiing looks like more fun than that hard shit that comes out of the cannons.

The old Commie cars would excite me more than the scenery. I imagine that water is always freezing up there. But, the Baltic babes are probably nice.

Jobjoris > Jonee 03/10/2016 at 03:45

1

We like to fly on our grass...

Well, you’d really have to go rural for Kommi-cars. Most cars you see are 2nd hand exported Audis, Opels and Volkswagens in Riga for example. Baltic babes can really have nice physics, their faces are somewhat too “squared” not sure how I’d translate that.

Jonee > Jobjoris 03/11/2016 at 01:57

1

No Ladas? I kind of know what you mean about the women. They can have very square jaws. But, I’m met some beautiful Latvian ladies. Like Russians, they’re very pretty when they’re young because they have to be since they grow old into battle axes. You likely don’t have that expression, but you probably get my drift.

Jobjoris > Jonee 03/11/2016 at 13:31

1

That’s exactly what I meant, those square jaws. Arie’s wife has that as well. And two artificial “units” ;-) Battle axes haha, we also name these vis-wijf. Fishwife . You use that one don’t you?

Jonee > Jobjoris 03/12/2016 at 03:54

1

Fish wife is an old expression. Even older than battle axe. It something my mother would say. She’s the queen of ancient sayings. And she’ll pull out these phrases no one’s used in 75 years as if they’re still common and I’m always like, are you from another planet?

Jobjoris > Jonee 03/12/2016 at 08:12

1

Our “viswijf” comes from women selling fish at markets. Trying to over-shout each other. But that’s probably there as well. We still have weekly outside markets, really old school.

Jonee > Jobjoris 03/14/2016 at 03:14

1

Yeah, that’s how I think of a fish wife. Loud and strong. Not necessarily bad looking. A battle axe is a little older and homely, but also brawny. We still have fish markets. There’s a famous old one in New York that I think is dying now. Also in Seattle there’s one where they throw the fish around and tourists go to watch.

Jobjoris > Jonee 03/14/2016 at 06:22

1

There’s not much I appreciate more than getting local products on markets like that when I’m in France or Italy. Utter joy. But the shouting seems to be more Northern European come to think of it.

Jonee > Jobjoris 03/15/2016 at 02:38

1

When I lived in Boston I used to go to this old seafood restaurant that was right above their fish market so everything was as fresh as could be. The clams were outstanding. I really miss those clams come to think of it. The Italians don’t shout at their markets?

Jobjoris > Jonee 03/15/2016 at 07:07

1

Sounds good. Most fresh I ever experiences was a Red Snapper in Bangkok. It was killed in front of me: The guy took it out of an aquarium, put it on the floor and hit it with some sort of a club. Awful site. Great taste.

Nope, just all kind of cozy people. Mostly old.

Jonee > Jobjoris 03/16/2016 at 03:46

1

Wow, that is pretty crazy. But, it doesn’t get much fresher. They have live fish in tanks in many seafood restaurants, but they don’t bludgeon it to death while you witness at least in my experience. If they did that with cows or pigs, a lot of people might become vegetarian. Not everyone, of course, but a bunch.

My usual image of a large gathering of Italians is a lot of yelling, but maybe that’s more common among the ones that live in New Jersey.

Jobjoris > Jonee 03/16/2016 at 05:27

1

And that time I went on a trawler to experience real fishing. That was Fresh as hell as well. Out of the net, cutting it’s throat and into the smoking chamber. Eating in about an hour after getting those nets in. Awesome experience. Fish don’t have fur. No harm done here ;-)

Hahaha, often it is, especially on the road. And in New Jersey. Just not when it comes to food. Well, maybe if there’s need to be paid.

Jonee > Jobjoris 03/17/2016 at 16:18

1

Where were you on that trawler? That does sound wonderful. My late brother was a big fisherman, as I probably mentioned. I went deep sea fishing with him a couple times and we would take the fish off the hook and cook it almost immediately. Well, he caught most of the fish, but it sure was delicious. I did catch a blue marlin once, but you don’t eat those.

In New Jersey, if there’s a need to be paid, they skip the yelling and just start breaking kneecaps.

Jobjoris > Jonee 03/18/2016 at 08:55

1

On the North sea near the Wadden Islands. Or do you mean my position on that trawler physically? At the captain’s table of course ;-)

A MARLIN? That must have been wicked. Such brute force in an animal. Epic.

The Italians in NJ do or just everyone?

Jonee > Jobjoris 03/22/2016 at 02:56

1

Ha. Of course. The whole time you spent at the captain’s table? How’d he compare to Stubing? The North Sea sounds pretty thrilling. What brought you there?

Yeah, it was exhausting reeling in that marlin. I think it took an hour or an hour and a half. I did it all myself, too. When it was over I literally couldn’t lift my arm. The fish weighed more than I did.

Just the Italians, really, but there are a lot of Italians. Some of the Jews can be pretty tough, too, but not like the Italians. Did I ever tell you about how my parents had an accountant that was connected to the Mafia?

Jobjoris > Jonee 03/22/2016 at 16:18

1

Well, Herr Rotgans would not leave my side, wanted to hear all the awesome sailing stories I had to tell. Usually he ended up with a bunch of dentists and accountants he had to tell what to do, now he had someone who told him what the weather would be like and what heading was needed to be put in the nav. It was some incentive a bunch of physiotherapists got, a friend of mine (physiotherapist, the guy I went to Thailand with) asked me to join. Of course I did.

FOOTAGE!!! THERE HAS TO BE FOOTAGE OF THAT EPIC REELING IN!

We have some Israely people in the hotel over here. I asked them if they knew you. They didn’t.

Jonee > Jobjoris 03/23/2016 at 23:45

1

That’s awesome. Had he never had any Dutchies on board before? What else did you guys do? Did you help pull the nets in, or something? Or were you just along for the ride?

No, no footage. This was years ago when I was a teenager and we took a big family vacation to Hawaii. My brother, father, and I went deep sea fishing. That was the only hit we got all day much to my brother’s disappointment. He was a big fishing fan. There are some pictures of my triumph at my parents’ house. And I got a fiberglass reproduction of my marlin.

I haven’t been to Israel in a long time, but I’m surprised the Eisen name didn’t hold some kind of sway with them. Maybe they were playing coy. Or Goy.

Jobjoris > Jonee 03/24/2016 at 16:18

1

Nope, I’m sure we were not his first Dutch “crew”. We helped with all kinds of stuff, even removing the heads before smoking the fish. True masculine day!

A FIBERGLASS REPRODUCTION? Where’s that one, at your parent’s as well?

I have never been to Israël. Not sure if I ever will. I do love the Israëli women!

Jonee > Jobjoris 03/28/2016 at 00:08

1

Yeah, that is very macho. Did you get to eat the smoked fish? My people love smoked fish.

It is at my parents’ house. But, it needs restoration because my old cat chewed the tail off when we had it stored in the basement. I guess he thought it was a real fish.

Some amazing women over there. I was too young to appreciate them when I was there, but they get around. We have a little Israeli community here in L.A. and I meet up with some of them occasionally to ogle the women.

Yes, of course! I speared the fish and hang ‘m in the smoking chamber myself. Best fish ever.

Restoration? Can’t help you on parts for that one! It must look real...

They’re kinda dangerous, right? With the years of military service they need to attend.

You don’t have a source for replacement replica Pacific blue marlin tails? I’m disappointed. You’ve always come through for me before.

If they’re not serious about being a soldier, that military service can be like summer camp. It doesn’t always toughen them up that much. They kind of put you where you’ll do best. One of my friends made movies and another learned how to cook.

I’m a wildlife man. Only true nature counts. I can get you a stuffed Marlin!

Haha, made movies??? Any of those online?

I need one the same size as my marlin. With fish, they don’t really “stuff” them. They make them out of fiberglass and they’ll just use parts of the head and jaw. I think they used the actual spear part on mine.

I bet something is online. They were anything from propaganda stuff to how to take apart your Uzi.

And there are actually companies making these in prefab fiberglass? Awesome!

Then just share his youtube-channel!

They’re supposed to take the measurements of the fish you caught and make a pretty accurate reproduction. I bet they do have a bunch of different sizes pre-made.

I’ll ask her if she has a Youtube channel. Maybe there’s an Israeli Army channel. She made an interesting short film starring Malcolm McDowell for her thesis when we were in grad school together.

Ach so. The stuff you can earn a living with...

Not sure if I’m “allowed” to watch that as all security agencies are probably monitoring on full alert right now. It could hurt the feelings of our Islam community.

And there he is again: Malcolm McD! Should have played the part of Ed Straker.

Oh, great. More people monitoring our communiqués.

You’re obsessed with Ed Straker now, aren’t you? Malcolm would have been great on that show. As an alien, or Earthling. I’ve actually been on a Mission: Impossible binge lately. I love that Peter Graves.

Obsessed isn’t the right word for the feelings I’ve got regarding Ed Straker. That privilege is solely for my beloved princess Oxenberg.

Mission: Impossible . Awesome. On Netflix as well I suppose? We only have the 3rd movie.

Well, you sure seemed impressed by Ed. You keep bringing him up. I think he’s your new princess.

The old t.v. show, actually. A friend loaned me some dvd’s. It’s so entertaining. But, I do love the movies. The last one was fantastic. I feel like they’ve come up before. They’re better Bond movies than the Bond movies these days.

Impressed: certainly. Who wouldn’t be by someone driving such a car and wearing those shirts / jackets with these awesome collars. He’s no prince though, that part is just for Casper. Thanks to mrs. Oxenberg.

Yes, I was afraid that would be it. That’s been a while, always loved that series. And agreed on the Bond argument. Totally.
