Title: What do we really look like?
Post by: gertsy on July 18, 2011, 01:30:41 PM
Before Amiga Org folds who want's to know what Amiga Org's members really look like?

Does Darrin really look like Kate Bush?
Is Kesa really a Rabbit?
Are those really Piru's eys peering through those glasses?

Post a recent photo so we all know how ugly / or pretty Amiga Org really is.

That's me in the green.  Not my favorite top; way too billowy...  I play the low brow sword fighter and I never thought I came across as such in that top...

The other red head is "Dannie" and the Lad with the pipes is "Lenny".  The second incarnation of, "Plaid in Full" my now defunct comedy group.

Lady in the apron is my real wife.  The gun is fake but the Spoon, ug, was NOT!  Her part of the sketch was hitting me every time I didn't give a proper Scottish curse.  In all the practices she wouldn't hit me hard because she was afraid she was going to hurt me.  During the show, she almost broke the dang thing with every swat.

HAHA! Cammy do you wear the Cammy outfit from street fighter in real life too? Or do you just wear normal clothes? :)


Depends how cold it is, but it's quite comfortable to wear around. Old ladies at the mall aren't too impressed, but I seem to get approval from cars full of guys driving past when I'm walking along the footpath in it. :lol:

Regularly I wear long socks, tights, a skirt, top and shoes, and cover up nearly everything but my face. I'm quite modest when I'm not wearing a costume. I do like to try and wear clothes that remind me of Amiga things, like my rainbow socks and t-shirt that remind me of the rainbow checkmark logo, and my red & white checkered socks and top hat that remind me of the boing ball. I keep hoping some (former) Amiga user might recognise the colours and say something so I can get them back onboard once I show them my awesome Amiga setup.

This setup has Kitchen syncs on both units and the future PAR will have TBC 5 and TBC 1 for video input. At that time I want to start stop motion recording and use the second A2000 with the Super Gen as input it over lays graphic that I can control. The graphic programs are Dpaint 3 and Dvideo Fantavision.:roflmao:

I do like to try and wear clothes that remind me of Amiga things, like my rainbow socks and t-shirt that remind me of the rainbow checkmark logo.

Last year I had some nice T-shirts made, in indigo/purple-ish colour, kinda like the background on the insert floppy screen of OS2.0+, with a nice big original rainbow checkmark on the chest. It has been recognized for what it is perhaps a handfull of times. But it was quite busy to wear it when going out in Amsterdam, I've never had so many guys hit on me, ever! The sad faces when I explained what it really was. :lol:

I'm not sure if you're referring to the paint on my legs or the softened image I use for my avatar. I used a soften filter on it to bring down the detail so I could save the avatar within Amiga.org's filesize limits, but keeping the quality high enough not to go blotty. As for the stripes on my legs, I ended up painting them onto some stockings so I can easily throw those on under the leotard without having to get my hands green every time I dress up.

Here's the original image from my avatar, unaltered apart from being scaled down from its original size, it was taken last year I think but I still look the same:

The soften filter - at first I thought it was sunshine glare. Reducing the colours to 16 or 32 might also help the file size and look good on an Amiga (not that I use one for the web). I'll take your word for it for the legs
as it's like a pack of horny lads on a night out around here...! :)

I also think it's really cool to see that there are others here who like to wear costumes (for hobbies or events).


I do wear costumes alas my picture was rather taken in private circumstances.  Tuxedo is what I mean, my favorite costume.  I wear it for fun however I know people that treat it seriously.  Waiters for example, I am served weigh better while in tuxedo than when in casual clothes.  I am sometimes ignored by the service if not in "proper" clothes.

Hence I use it for fun.  To be serviced better or be listened more conscientiously.

Anyhow I think this is bullcrap that the world we live in causes such a inadequate response.

Pan camera to left please... :)

Oh and btw, I LOVED reading the comics dealing with the Death of Superman.

To bad the recent animated version of that tale cut out and changed so much. :/

The whole saga around the Death of Superman, Funeral For a Friend, Reign of the Supermen and The Return of Superman was one of the most memorable times in my comic reading life, and that issue where he battles Doomsday is iconic, every panel taking a full page until the big three page pullout where Clark slips away was perfectly laid out. I was a bit disappointed in the animated film cutting so much out, but I guess they had to dumb it down for the broader audience. The recent Young Justice series (which stars Superboy who I was dressed as in my pic) isn't too bad, although it's even more removed from the comic source.

Cammy is real, her name is Moya and I know her in real life and she's definitely a real Amiga user. She's standing beside me in that photo from the time when we both went to the comic convention, and we have worked together on several Amiga projects. She's a very nice person and a good friend, and I don't think she would like you throwing accusations like that around.

A knee in the groin is never fun ... And if one thinks so, everybody tells you, you're a pervert :-D


But the black belt doenst frighten me - Martial Art's are fun to watch, but if the one you fight against is way stronger than you, and the one you fight against doenst play by the rules of "that martial art", all the black belts in the world doenst help you - You'll just get you're as kicked then ;-)

If someone was going to pay a girl cash to dress up and model with Amigas, I think they'd find someone a lot better looking and less weird than me (and preferably not deaf so she could speak in videos). I don't know why someone would make something like that up anyway, but if you want more proof I have a Flickr gallery (http://www.flickr.com/photos/24340362@N08/) with photos of myself, my Amigas and other stuff I like and do, and a YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/AmigaCammy) with a few videos where I demonstrate some stuff on my Amiga and show the birds who visit me.

Or you can just come on IRC and chat to me and my friends who have known me for years, I hang out in all the main Amiga channels.

I have to second: I also did not notice the hearing aid at all :) Just in case that actually is somehow important to you. Funny, since I have an eye for details - btw, nice Stargate collection in the background ;) Oh, and you are indeed every Computergeeks dream.

Oh, oh, Pic of me... hm hm hm I never show my face, but I got a picture of me from a funny perspective when I was playing some MMO and the wifey got bored. She started to decorate me.. and my headset... even buying her Puzzle Quest 2 (see other screen) did not end the torture!

@TheMud:
While it is true that some martial arts are of almost no worth in real conflict situations, I must point out that - as you stated - being the bigger/chunkier/stronger one is also not a autowin situation. Me and my wife do MMA. She weights about 60% of me and is 30cm shorter. And she kicked my ass so hard last time that I'am still not done picking up the pieces :P So much for underestimating someone..

Still, I agree that if someone is trying Wing Tsun in a real fight, they are in for a beating :P

Martialarts works in selfdefense, trust me. But Ju-Jitsu/grapping art, would be the art of choice rather than a striking system. Since ju-jitsu have various technics to pasifie the attacker rather than destroy him.

btw my ex wife and I used to do martial arts together, and size and strength does not always win, you got to account for the sucker punch or the lucky shot.

As for being deaf, anyone who holds that against you is an ******* (I'm proud to to say that both my daughters can sign, they can hear perfectly well but it's just something they decided to do).
All in all you seem to have a lot going for you so don't ever put yourself down. I'll give you a stern telling off if you do, trust me on this, looks, brains and personality all together is a rare combination. BTW, That's a cute cat you got.

We had one guy he use to Power Bomb guys after I saw him do that I
 said no more of that please,also he did this to you on pavement but
 2 weeks later he did it again to a customer who was like 160lbs

Bouncers here in Scotland fall into 3 categories...

A) The big guys who have the IQ of an amoeba and aren't even suited to being a Brickies labourer... :)

B) The Guys who "think" they're hard and only have the mentality to cause fights and are so "brave" that they choose to be a bouncer so they are protected by the law when they beat up a wee guy half their size & weight... :rolleyes:

C) The so called  "Hard Men" (who are basically just neds) working for so called "Legitimate" Security Firms who are really just run by gangsters and make a fortune out of the lucrative drugs trade, all under the gaze of the law that is even more corrupt than them and turns a blind eye to it... :furious:

I know many bouncers personally many of whom are old friends from school days, they all fit into the above categories and all have one thing in common, they are all as thick as s*!te... :)

I'm about 6'3 and weigh about 100kg and pretty fit so i'm a fair size and i have always had people tell me they wish they were as big as me so no guy would ever pick a fight with them. But i have noticed being big doesn't keep you out of trouble - it gets you into trouble. There's always some guy who wants to test you and maybe show off in front of his mates so they go after the big guy first. It's annoying as i'm not really the type to get into fights (not that i am against it or anything). I've even had cars pull over when i'm walking so one smart arse can try me out (with his mates watching in the car). But i don't care, i just smash'em. Sometimes i wish i could be some scrawny chap so people would stop picking fights with me. Ah'well. **** happens :rolleyes:

Bouncers here in Scotland fall into 3 categories...

A) The big guys who have the IQ of an amoeba and aren't even suited to being a Brickies labourer... :)

B) The Guys who "think" they're hard and only have the mentality to cause fights and are so "brave" that they choose to be a bouncer so they are protected by the law when they beat up a wee guy half their size & weight... :rolleyes:

C) The so called  "Hard Men" (who are basically just neds) working for so called "Legitimate" Security Firms who are really just run by gangsters and make a fortune out of the lucrative drugs trade, all under the gaze of the law that is even more corrupt than them and turns a blind eye to it... :furious:

I know many bouncers personally many of whom are old friends from school days, they all fit into the above categories and all have one thing in common, they are all as thick as s*!te... :)

A'ha! Franko who never backs down and never walks away from a fight. So which one are you Franko? A,B or C?  :roflmao:

Answer = None of the above... ;)

I've never been more than 10 stone in my life, people always say they've seen more meat on a butchers pencil, but I'd reckon I've only ever came off second best in a fight less than 3 times in my life... :)

Never been one for fighting or violence (don't see the point in it) but I learned a long, long time ago there's no point in me risking getting hurt (or worse) in a fight, so I use "other methods" to make sure if I ever get into a fight that I'm the one who walks away unscathed... :)

If you guys must know i am in Australia! :)

Hmmmmm.... 100kg and less than 7% bodyfat? Are you sure about that? What are you Hercules? It seems awfully low for someone that big. Especially when you take into account that fat is stored in muscle. Are sure you are 7%?  ;)

You dont know much about the body I can hear... Most BIG bodybuilders go as low as 3-4 %

Am I sure ? YES

All our family are doctors and therapists

Oh ... And computernerds :-D

Sure bodybuilders can go that low but you are not a bodybuilder :)

I'm not going to say you are not 7% body fat it's just that it's a very difficult level to get to and usually when people claim to be that low it is because they didn't use the calipers properly :)

Hey guys, this conversation about Fighting, Body Building, Martial Arts, Bouncers, etc. is a really cool topic and I've thoroughly enjoyed reading it as it has progressed.

One problem.

This has nothing to do with the thread.

What would normally happen is that a Mod. would grab the off topic posts and throw them into the sock drawer and say, "tich, tich".

I'd like to try a different approach.  These posts will still be moved into their own thread ("A.ORG Fight Club" sound good to me :D) But I would like you all who are contributing to the thread to post where it should go.

It is now 3AM-ish according the A.ORG clock.  At 9AM I'll move it to which ever forum that is requested the most, guarding that it is appropriate (NOT going to put it in Coffee House/ Politics ;) ).

If this works and reduces the jarring  "HEY!  Where'd my posts go?!?!?" feeling users get, I'll use it in the future.  If not and I get a bunch of guff or no one takes it seriously, into the Sock Drawer it goes!

The Night Janitor,
J-Golden

Hmmmmm... I think i can see the problem. I can understand how someone like you can be threatened by this thread. Especially with your 25% body fat and your complete lack of martial arts per se  ;)

Remember Jared slapping someone across the face with a wet fish is NOT martial arts. So i can understand why you would want to move this as soon as possible otherwise you might start to look bad...  :D

I'm also open to the name of the new thread.  I went with the "A.ORG Fight Club" just because of the movie...
 
The first rule of A.ORG Fight Club: no pocket squirrels...

The second rule of A.ORG Fight Club: no Ninja Coy Dogs... (10 points to the person who knows this reference!)

Im not ? ... Too bad then I spend 7 days a week in the gym :-D What a waste of time :-)

And the 7% is not that hard too reach. Just dont sit on your ass all day and excersise my friend ;-)

And for those who think I hate Martial Arts ... Im into Taekwondo, but see it more as a real good streching program. ( only orange belt )

This thread is brilliant - Never spend so much time on this site.

You'd need to create a new forum entiltled "Nancy Boys In Mental Patients Pyjamas Doing Ballet Dancing"... :)

Think that would be an appropriate title for it... :D

Hi,

Naw!!!

It's only my 60th birthday, getting ready for my favorite team to play "The famous, great, marvelous, fantastic, better than the Amiga "The 5 time super bowl champions" The Pittsburgh Steelers",

Yes people I am a Pittsburgh Steeler Fanboy",  Where real rough and tough men play football and the petite men like "Drew Brees, Tom (pretty boy) Brady, Peyton (did you see that hit ref) Manning & Eli Manning and that big baby of them all Green Bays Aron Rodgers all cry to the NFL Commissioner "The Steelers especially that Harrison hits to hard" can you tone them down some and then the NFL Commissioner wanting to protect the "Golden Boys"  changes the rules about hitting in football, why don't they just put flags on the ball carrier.

To all you Green Bay Fans, if you didn't have Rottenburger on your side the Steelers would have won. He handed you a 2 TD start.

Actually it might. Ballet teaches bodybuilders how to pose better. Arnie and Franco (Columbu) both done it  :)

I agree with you, back in high school when I went out with my mates, the  6'2- built-like-a-brick-****house guy in our group was always the one that drunks would pick a fight with, the rest of us were small in comparison but it was always him that the heroes would go for first :confused:
