The Camera Conundrum by Ward Rubrecht, Ink Tea
June 7th, 2006 7:25 PMWe began with some kind of adolescent humor.
Ward, who was manning the disposable camera, took a shot of his leg accidentally, which we also duplicated for posterity's sake.
We have a bit of a "strange signs" theme- this one that reads "Star Kisses - Any Combination", this one that reads "Please use the door 82 inches to your RIGHT! Thanks!"
And then we have an Inky's feet theme that began here:
There was the creepy mannequin, missing a wrist:
And this sign, which we thought complimented our "Parking in the Rear" theme:
and a blank yellow wall, with a white cloud of some sort.
We were discussing wanting a garden gnome, ala Amelie, or some sort of other interesting lawn ornamenture, when we discovered these.
We agreed that our sphynx could kick Amelie's gnome's ass.
There was an inexplicable plastic glove, which we found disturbing and worth documenting.
And then we stopped off at Izzy's for some ice cream and these shots.
And then to the library, where we decided to take a photograph of a page from a smutty novel. Ink Tea's ingenuity suggested that Ward's desired Very Smutty passage would be found by figuring out where the spine had been broken. We were not let down.
Ink was delighted by this elephant.
And then we climbed a tallish fire escape for these shots.
Then more biking, where we decided our environment was making some good suggestions.
And then we got some animal pictures. Ward chose the moose. Ink chose the penguin.
To add to the perplexing nature of the group, we stopped at a phone.
One more of Ink's feet.
Ward wanted this Star of David.
And we rounded it out with this one, to refer back to our rear-parking signs.
The camera went into a ziplock bag, with a photograph which said "DEVELOP ME! sf0.org" on the back.
What did we learn? 27 is a lot of photographs, when you don't know what you're going to do with them.

I rather enjoyed the erotic passage. Saucy!
Although I was befuddled by the bit about her nipples "begging for more." What were they deprived of? Nourishment? Spare change? Education? Tenderness??
I'm just worried is all.
Conor: The nipple desired more syrup. It prefers its pancakes moist and sweet.
Imagine my suprise on clicking "Updates" and seeing the nipple-syrup exchange, devoid of any context....
Sad times are these when helpless nipples must go without proper syrup rations, pancakes all dry and bland.
Sad times are these also when I am involved in "the nipple-syrup exchange" without even realizing it.
Maple? Chocolate? Raspberry? What's the Nasdaq index on marmalade these days?
Okay, I looked into the NASDAQ index on marmalade thing. Turns out they don't even index marmalade! As an aside, I think this may be the start of a potentially profitable business venture. Anyhoo, I did a web search for the words 'nasdaq' 'index' and 'marmalade' and found a document containing this quote:
"The ensuing debate among these entities will make past attempts by the European Union to set
standards for what constitutes “marmalade,” “mayonnaise,” or a “cucumber” seem like a
pleasant tea party in comparison."
I'm not sure exactly what they're talking about, but I certainly like the idea of the act of defining marmalade seeming like a "pleasant tea party."
All this talk of marmalade made me hungry.
Not quite a tea party, but tea with jam and bread was nice.
That photo very nearly inspired me to open my jar of marmalade. It looks simply scrumptious! I'll have the tea part now at least. Marmalade tomorrow.
look what you've made me do!

That's strange- I almost bought a moustache today, thinking of you.
First: Yes, yes! Buy that moustache. Give it a name and a good home and feed it figs.
Second: I think the idea of an index on marmalade may have application in SF0. http://sf0.org/taskDetail/?taskID=560
Third: I couldn't find a more appropriate venue for this so here goes
Ink, your name change really caught my eye. I have been wondering about its origin or influence every time I see it now. But I didn't know why. I think the trigger was the fact that it is a superset of your old name. So, naturally, I began to make anagrams of "Ipek Taner" and quickly, I realized that there are a very very large number of these. So, over a period of days I made several (usually this was something that distracted me from doing math) and I will present my favorites here:
Ipek Taner ->
pre ink tea
pink eater
a pink tree
ink repeat
ink tee par (for the golfing)
ink pee tar (or ink pee rat or ink pee art or even at pee rink)
train keep
< and my favorite >
pie tanker!!
Which is funny because I was thinking about developing some sort of pie derivative for the above-mentioned task. Perhaps we can work something out...
Do you want me to tell you where İpek Taner comes from, or would you rather I stay shrouded in mystery? I've been changing my name for almost the entire duration of my time here at sf0.
Did you want to exchange marmalades? I don't exactly understand the task.
Please remain shrouded in mystery. Mystery is good. It makes me do things like create anagrams. Of course if there is a good story behind the name, then give up the goods! Otherwise, mystery.
I'm not sure if we should exchange marmalade or not. I don't totally understand the task yet. Once I figure it out, though, I'll contact you.
Shrouded in mystery I'll remain. I do have a tendency of hiding or coding things into art/mischief that I do.
I really like the composition of some of these photos, too. Someone in Nordeast (our erstwhile deconstructor, perhaps?) has vandalized the Stop Yelling billboard up on Central Ave and crossed out the Stop Yelling and stopfamilyviolence.com portion of the sign. I wonder what it means? anti-stop-yelling? continue yelling? It gives a person a headache. Makes me want ice cream. And look, you got some! Yay Izzy's!!
