Is today officially Herr Braun Day? One picture 8 (or 10) words, depending on how you look at it, but nonetheless, it speaks for itself - no?

As Werner's name appears in 150 thread titles, he probably doesn't need to see more 'recognition' or receive more Jolly Good Fellow fellatio.
UN-officially, carry the hell on, pilgrim. And take Sgt. Rock along, as he don't take sh#t either, like WBraun.
He still packs a whallop with his dukes.
Maybe the Pythagorean birds could do a Fly-By?
As far as recognition for SAR folks goes, the oldest recorded recognition of such took place on the Steve Allen Show sometime in the late fifties.

Yes.

Black and white on Sunday's fine.
At the beach in wintertime.
Won't you be my valentine?
Pictures make a rhyme sublime.
Once upon a time out in the WestA town grew slowly into the best
Place for students to take a test.
At UCM, they do their best!
These images are out of the new Historical Society calendar.

I must say here and now, that the quality of ST's reproduction of our photos sucks. If anything I have noticed in the last year plus I've been posting here, that's the one which has continuously bugged the crap out of me.
You got that right buddy!! Why do you think i post all mine from Flickr!
Here's why.
Merry Christmas good sir, from Sandra and I!

Say there say mouse, is that your Corvette?
Nice camera work there Big Mike. Can't help but observe that you squeezed a tower into the shot.
Anyway.
Dang! That sure looks like the Merced Tower up thread yonder.
Time passes slowly up there in the tower. Just ask Charlie Whitman.
EDIT: Just a side note, but if I hear one more TV person utter the phrase "went missing", I'm gonna dig Herr Whitman up and revive him and give him unlimted access to my VISA card to charge ammo to take these folks' transmission towers out.

And yes, that is my Green '58 Bonneville center stage. I think we went missing on a Seoncal run, but don't hold me to it or shoot me.

Ah, neebee, the koalas are all down under the ground, not one survived.
The owners were so despondent over the situation they began drinking heavily and the koalas all escaped one night
and were slaughtered by Basque shepherds who made the best sausage you ever had.
Actually, the whole Koala Ranch thing is a big fib. I made that up. I needed a good caption. I must control that impulse. I'm sorry to have misled you.
What happens when the place is infested with fleas? Eucalyptus leaves; and soon, the fleas flee, too.
My grand-kids make me proud, and they make me laugh. Jake and Noah and the kids from their church. If you go on Youtube, there are a zillion just like this from last night alone!
On the first day of Christmas my pastor said to me, "We'll be Happy birthday, Jesus, number three-three-three-three-three."

Why don't you take a picture? It lasts longer.
Famous words. Lasting. They get the point across like a photograph.
Concision. A normal-sized word of merit. Big words and lots of them are bunk.
The Big Picture. A black and white series of 1950s vintage dealing with the fight against Commies. I looked forward to the BIG picture each Saturday morning before cartoons, even.
Now I look back and the picture is so much larger.
Time has gone by like the wind past the wings in the Skytrain that Boomer flew.
The Porky Pig cartoons, the Rough Rider, Crusader Rabbit, howdy and goodbye, and thanks again, Uncle Walt, especially.
If streams were conscious they might not like the things that we put in them.
My streaming costs nothing. It is constant in my mind. I would that I could share it more readily.
But the fact is that you stream your stream. We all stream what we stream.
I want some egg cream. The whimsical connection is Lou Reed. This IS the secret underground Velvet Underground thread, is it knot?

hey there say, mouse...
here is the twelve days of christmas gifts, to you from us 12-13 folks!
very sorry, dear group, about the lost box...
NEVER had this EVER happen:
here is the FIRST GIFT--poem at bottom:
For the FIRST day towards Christmas, came a gift that was so sweet...
from a gal, who was to ol' Doug, the BEST and oh-so-neat..
and THIS was tucked in to the box, as it was so perfect to go with:
as you can see now, feralfae, IS THE NUMBER ONE:
-DONE TO: THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS:
ENTITLED NOW-- THE FIRST-DAYS to Christmas,
HERE WE GO—on the first days of Christmas, my 'to do' friends gave to me...
a group-gift-box, of many things, as I shall NOW see...
For the FIRST day towards Christmas, came a gift that was so sweet...
from a gal, who was to ol' Doug, the BEST and oh-so-neat...
On the second day towards Christmas, came a bit of nutrition to snatch...
it was something soft and something crisp, that together, do match...
On the third day towards Christmas, came a gift to keep him busy...
yet, in a mindful way, YET—one might make him dizzy...
On the forth day towards Christmas, came something about a place he loves...
where the stars shine bright, from the moon, and all the aboves...
On the fifth day towards Christmas, came something to keep him warm
and cozy...
as about more gifts, he NOW gets NOSY!...
AND on the sixth day towards Christmas, speaking of nosy and warm and cozy, most likely he needs a gift for OUTSIDE...
one that will work on trips to town, YET, still function, for when at home, he does ABIDE...
On the seventh day of Christmas, as momento-leads to momento, came a darling little treat...
something from a mystery-solving gal, and her babe, that he happily did meet...
On eighth day of Christmas, came many intriguing bits of fun...
from someone that knows what inspires a mouse, when the day is done...
On the ninth day of Christmas, came a gift to inspire him to dream...
as the days of Christmas, run by like rivers, or a stream...
On the tenth day of Christmas, came a shocking surprise, like non-other...
something of warm memories, that rhymes with: another...
On the eleventh day of Christmas, anticipating the eve, and up late...
turns out, there came a gift that from head-to-toes,that just wouldn’t wait...
On the twelfth day of Christmas, the ol' mouse was by friendship, caught...
as he opened his last box, and on all of these gifts, took thought...
Yep--he was a mighty happy mouse, in deed...
from this Christmas, that to him, did speed....
Why, it included a ‘baker’s dozen’ gift, to JOIN with it all…
yep-- another giver, included--one that for him, years-ago, his heart did fall…
*Neebee tucked it in, to be from that gal, as a special thought, you’all…
HAPPY SWEET CHRISTMAS TO YOU MOUSE FROM MERCED!
WE WERE PICKED OFF, FROM YOUR “FLAMES” THREAD,
AND—were able to respond…
TOMORROW, YOU CAN see gift number two!
and so you won't 'just see what you missed'
and be left out, :(
i AM going to replace these, as,
we really enjoyed to know that this would be fun for you...
and really DO want you to have that fun!!!
feralfae and i love how you made lemonaid from the lemon-box, ;)
happy sweet christmas!!
ps:
you can go BACK to the riddle, too, that i posted somewhere, on flames or on chossmas?? and see how the riddle lined up to the gifts, as well,
THAT might be mouse-fun... AS WE know you like riddles, and word tricks, too...

hey there say, mouse...
now--on the second day towards christmas, your next
'to do' friend-- thocking.... sent to you...
well, HE PICKED THE CHEESE and crackers!
On the second day towards Christmas, came a bit of nutrition to snatch...
it was something soft and something crisp, that together, do match...
HERE IT IS... only on a thrift-store silver tray,
with a box of crackers and a little spreading knife...
ahh, now... read the poem, or the rhymes and wonder what
the next is/was... :)
the adventure is on!

hey there, say, tad and mo... yeah, me too, it was so odd...
one item, fletcher put an extra 'heart and soul' into...
as well... plus the postage, :(
and you all, you all did fantastic! you all jumped right in, tad!
and you each just had a SPECIAL instinct, on WHAT GIFT TO PICK...
it was interesting to see it fall into place...
hee hee, and we even got hold of illusive-at-work skully,
and email-hard-situation zbrown, though:
they had to kind of take the LAST of the list pick,
but it still turned out nice for what they DID get as their
picked-gift... :))
and lastly, of ALL THINGS!!! THE FRUITCAKE WAS LEFT, AND
FERALFAE 'fell in love' with that idea, it was
'tailor' made, just FOR HER TO DO...
mouse:
she had GREAT FUN doing that for you...
so this is your IMAGINATION YEAR!
:)

:)
