I am already as hot as I can be (internally) with chili relishes incorporated into almost every meal. Pick someone who is amusing, clever, and creative. My main talents include gardening and cooking, and this board has no real concentration on that stuff - it's just a side-line.

I would not object to a "quirky, odd, but gives a sh1t award" Ain't happening, though. A couple of collaborators and I have a paper under review regarding M-51 type galaxy associations and though the catalog should be accepted with no problems, the next paper (statistical analysis of the redshift differentials in the catalog) will be met with resistance, denials, and circular reasoning.

You'd probably give the volcano heartburn.

Since gardening and cooking are two of my top interests, they are major categories in GD, along with kittens and cute baby animals. :!)

See, you guys, this is serious business.

Can't be real. The throwers must be a conga-line of scantily -clad natives in ceremonial dress, and here we have a single white woman in a pant-suit. The image is SO convincing otherwise, but these cues lead me to believe that this is a fake!

Plus the fact that I found pictures of Penguino's demise. If you can make it through this blog (in spite of the ever obnoxious Chet), it's clear what happened. Poor Penguino was lured by a density of bird feeders and met his demise on Jan 6 (you have to scroll down quite a ways).

Poor Penguino.:frown:

P.S. - I think he might have wound up as the secret ingredient in that concoction the evil red-headed girl is cooking.

To paraphrase W, you misunderestimate Evo. If she ever had any fireproof plating, it was probably constructed of thermite. Not that there's anything wrong with that... :rolleyes:

Oh. I just remembered what thermite was :biggrin::rolleyes:. Who can man a fire-extinguisher? I have received word that Evo still isn't done moving.

If this is done right, Evo will only kill a few of us.

Holy Crap I've been nominated!:eek:

My fire resistant long johns are at the cleaners! Oh my gosh! I'll have to beat off the flaming volcano with my penguin!

:rolleyes:

(I think I need to reword that somehow.)

If the volcano gets too close, I'll have to grab my penguin and beat it off.

:rolleyes:

not much better.

Actually, I'm so far behind I don't even need to beat off the flaming leaf pile. :approve:

Heck, I'm so far behind I don't have to beat off anything.

:rolleyes:

Well I don't have to.

Evo doesn't kill people. Volcanoes kill people.

Yup. It's Evo's one-eyed-flaming-leaf-pile-mole-hill-volcano-beating-off-penguin.

(Actually the kids just call it Whack-A-Penguin, I think.)

I'm on the nominations list. I only have two votes, so its a little early to worry about fireproofing my penguin, but it's always great just to be nominated. :cool:

Errr, um, those nominations are from last year. You'll certainly get nominated this year - 2007. Stick around.

Gosh, you're right. I just went back and looked at the date. :redface: Now you see why I don't come around much: I can't read! :smile:



So does this mean that Evo won't grab my flame resistant penguin and beat off flames?

Is there any rule saying that we can't throw the winner into more than one volcano. I have a list - an extensive list. :biggrin:

Here is a short list of recent activity.

14-20 November 2007
New Activity/Unrest: | Krakatau, Indonesia
Ongoing Activity:
| Arenal, Costa Rica
| Bezymianny, Russia
| Chikurachki, Russia
| Fuego, Guatemala
| Galeras, Colombia
| Karymsky, Russia
| Kilauea, USA
| Pacaya, Guatemala
| Santa María, Guatemala
| Shiveluch, Russia
| Soufrière Hills, Montserrat
| St. Helens, USA
| Tungurahua, Ecuador
| Turrialba, Costa Rica
| Ubinas, Perú
| Villarrica, Chile


This would be a cool place! :cool: I would hate to see this opportunity wasted o:)

KRAKATAU Indonesia 6.10°S, 105.43°E; summit elev. 813 m
http://www.volcano.si.edu/world/volcano.cfm?vnum=0602-00=

According to a news article, lava flows and incandescent rocks from Anak Krakatau traveled down the flanks during 13-14 November. Incandescent material and "smoke" were propelled hundreds of meters from the summit on 14 November. Visitors and tourists were advised not to go within a 3-km radius of the summit. The Alert Level remained at 3 (on a scale of 1-4).


Here's a nice place too! - http://erebus.nmt.edu/


Oh yeah, I almost forgot - I nominate Artman for funniest PF member.

And if I may, I nominate turbo-1 too!

They are much tastier and more deserving than me!

I just remembered, turbo has a flaming orange suit that would look so cool against a dark black lava field.

I'm really not that funny - more quirky, perhaps. I am probably one of the hottest members, though not in the teen-magazine sense, but in the sense that I eat salsas/chili relishes that you can never buy in a store. I have gotten ahead of my organic-gardening neighbor who gave us nice German and Russian garlic last year and I keep asking him if he's got enough hot sauces to keep him happy, and he keeps telling me "I'm the only one that eats this stuff!", so I guess he's OK for now. The neighbor on the far side of him and I hunt part of most every day, but unless we can live on "track stew" we are bound to go without venison.

Uh huh, planning on tying an multi-stranded carbon filament ceramic center rope around my waist so you can drag my flaming butt out of the volcano's hot mouth... :rolleyes: That doesn't sound right, does it?

Uhh, sorry about all those silly comments about beating off flaming penguins. :!) You know that I love you :!) (in a platonic way that my wife would in no way have any problem) :!) right?
