I'm having fun browsing Misc's photo galleries and would like to reproduce the image below for the delectation of the forum. I suggest you have a look and re-post an old favourite, too.
hopefully this will work...
...eventually

The second picture looks like he was trying to have his hair in the style of Darth Vader's helmet.

Is that picture taken near the British Museum, Thorn?
Even though it's obviously not, until now I always assumed it was taken in Harlem.

Naw, it's in Fitzrovia - that road runs just parallel to Oxford street. If Thorn fans want to recreate the shot, that pub in the background is Ben Crouch's Tavern. From there you should be able to locate the famous post I'm stnding next to.
Posted by Dr. Benway (Member # 20) on :
If I was going to visit Harlem, I would definitely dress up like a blaxploitation pimp. They love that kind of thing. It's like going to a gig wearing a t-shirt of the band you're going to see.
Posted by H1ppychick (Member # 529) on :
we could have a baby pics competition - guess the poster and the winner gets, erm, nothing. we'd upload the pics then misc could change names to protect the innocent.
sorry, that's shit. i'll get me coat.
Posted by jonesy999 (Member # 5) on :
Excellent idea. Let's go to Harlem Benway. I'll pop into Waterstones on the way to the airport and pick up a Jive-English dictionary, you drop in at Thorn's and borrow his trousers.

I have no idea who any of you are in the pictures, unless captioned, so I'm going to nominate two pics which caught my eye on a browse.
Number one - nice shot whoever took that. Number two - don't know if it's a nicked shot or someone dressed up for a party, but the red stands out.
Number Two Posted by Dr. Benway (Member # 20) on :
is number two Helena Bonham Carter?

It's a picture of some star wars nut from a 'fan' trailer. It was the picture in the first post in a thread in which Kovacs invited people to identify 'tmo lookalikes' they'd seen recently. He said that pic lookde like "TMo's scarlett temptress, London". Someone else mentioned they'd seen Disco in an open university video. The the thread died.

BENWAY: Here we are in Harlem, Jonesy. This place is a [CHECKS DICTIONARY] 'hummer'.
JONESY: Damn right, my negro amigo. Solid.
BENWAY: You've been practicing.
JONESY: You fell asleep on the plane, after your Viagra.
BENWAY: Sweet dreams.
JONESY: Damn blip!
BENWAY: [CHECKS DICTIONARY] Let's find somewhere for some guzzlin’ foam. I'm damn thirsty, bro.
JONESY: Groovy.
BENWAY: [CHECKS DICTIONARY] Got gravy?
JONESY: Fews and twos.
BENWAY: Fly. Skin me.
JONESY: I don't have any rolling papers.
BENWAY [CHECKS DICTIONARY]: No, jive turkey, stroke my palm with yours. It's a gesture – "Skin me".
JONESY: [SULKING] I didn't get as far as 'S'.
BENWAY: [CHECKING DICTIONARY] Ain't no thing, my brother. It's cool in the gang.
JONESY: Can I have the book now?
BENWAY: You had it all the way over.
JONESY: You were asleep!
BENWAY: Whatever. Let's find a bar.
JONESY: It's a "gin mill", actually.
BENWAY: Whatever. [SPOTS A LOCAL. CHECKS DICTIONARY] Hey there, soul groover. Me and my bro here got fews and twos on da hip. Lookin' for a dicty gin mill. You dig?
LOCAL: Say what?
JONESY: Give me the book.
BENWAY: Shut up! [CHECKS BOOK. TO LOCAL] I'll skin you a dime note, dude. Just point my ground-grippers the way of a bar.
LOCAL: [TAKING OUT A GUN] You one dead Colonel Sanders dish, brother.
BENWAY: Chill, my brother. Me and my bro here just want some guzzlin' foam, some fly tunes – hide beater, gabriels, dog house, that kind of thing – and maybe a taste of honey. [WINKS]
LOCAL COCKS HIS GUN.
LOCAL: You got about a heartbeat, street, for I splash your honkey inside upside your damn fool head.
JONESY: Come on Benway. Let's go.
BENWAY: Wait a minute. [TO LOCAL] We're from London, you know?
LOCAL: Three, two...
JONESY PULLS BENWAY TO ONE SIDE. THEY RUN. THEY STOP IN AN ALLEYWAY, PANTING.
BENWAY: Man, why he blow his wings?
JONESY: You're not doing it right. Give me the book.
BENWAY: Easy, negro.
JONESY: Give it to me!
A GUN CLICK IS HEARD. A VOICE WHISPERS FROM THE DARK.
VOICE: Give him the book, bree. And then give me your wallets, your watch and those fancy gold teeth.
JONESY: I told you I should do the talking.
BENWAY: Shut up ghee!

Ah, it did remind me a little of pics Uber Trick has posted of herself. Haven't seen a pic of London I don't think, but they're sisters aren't they? (I was paying attention at the back, honest).
In a related digression I saw a picture of myself and a friend in a recruitment brochure for my University once. We were scowling seriously at the camera protesting about something in the SU newspaper (I remember what, it's just too boring to tell) and yet we end up as an illustrative positive shot of student life. Probably due to the fact we both had long blonde hair at the time.
Anyway, does anyone remember who took the lone house pic. I liked that too....

either this is a reference to Rapper's Delight, and you're saying that I'm not as tall as the rest of the gang, but I can rap to the beat, just the same, OR, I've no idea what this means.
