Part X, the pudding. You ate the meat, and now you can have the pudding. Here are the pictures and videos. Apologies for any video qualities, I think the cameraman was drunk. Here are a few of my faves from the lot that I posted online. Cute stuff: Baby elephant, still Baby hippo, still Baby elephant, video: Baby elephant nursing, video Baby Baboon, video Cool Stuff: Cheetah hunt, video: Leopard walking by us, video: Elephant knocking down a tree, video One of my favorite pictures Would you like to buy a monkey? My wife took most of the pictures. We used a Panasonic FZ8. I shot the video using a Canon ZR200 camcorder. The 20x* zoom on the camcorder was really good to have in the bush. The camera had a 12x zoom, but more is better. I think a 20x zoom would be optimal for stills. Using a plain old point and shoot camera with an 8x optical zoom is pure folly. I think we got a lot of good pictures and video. We need more practice with the cameras though, as some of the shots/video could have been really awesome but we messed it up a little bit. I wish the video of the cheetah was better, but such is life. * I’ll let the photo nerds figure out what that is in MM. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

Terrible. Needs more filter lenses and...um...depth of field? Something like that. Lady, people aren't chocolates. But you know what they are, mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.

Cheesy, Well done! I really enjoyed reading your russian novel of a travel blog. |
|
Okay. Now write it again, this time with you and your wife as Hunter S. Thompson and his lawyer. |

Ha ha, I didn't read any of your blog posts but I still looked at the videos and pictures. All pudding, no meat. "Games are not novels, and the ways in which they harbor novelistic aspirations are invariably the least interesting thing about them." - Steven Johnson

We had a little over an hour to wait for the flight and spent part of that time in the small duty free shop getting a couple of last minute souvenir books for the kids. Say what, motherfucker? |

Well done! I really enjoyed reading your russian novel of a travel blog. Glad that you enjoyed it. I think only you, jj, and G-man read it. We had a little over an hour to wait for the flight and spent part of that time in the small duty free shop getting a couple of last minute souvenir books for the kids. Say what, motherfucker? Haha, that's the nephews, not us. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

I tried to read it, but there's just so much chaff in there. Maybe if someone presents just the wheat for me, I'll read the whole thing. Lady, people aren't chocolates. But you know what they are, mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.

Paging Dumdeedum. Dumdeedum to the Blog thread. |

I skimmed it them, reading paragraphs that stood out. The Mama thing was odd, the cheetah experience was cool and whole not wanting to eat good food thing is funny. My intelligence, then, is not absolute but is a function of the society I live in

Yeah, I read every word. And actually, I plan on cutting and pasting the whole thing plus your original itinerary posts to show the girlfriend re: potential vacation plans. |

Word tells me that my blog posts add up to 29,944 words, not including the picture and video post which I don't feel the need to save. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

Man, that's a lot. GG Cheesy. |
|
I read them all Cheesy, every word. Good stuff. Zep-- Save the cheerleader ... Save the world.

Hell yeah I read it. Chances are slim I'll ever get to Africa, this firsthand account was amazing. And the videos with baby elephants are adorable. It's so cute how they follow along touching the mom with their trunk every few steps like they're making sure she's still there. Great posts, great photos and great video. So how did you remember all of this in such detail, where you keeping a journal along the way or something? |
|
Paging Dumdeedum. Dumdeedum to the Blog thread. I only read the first two or three, then I missed one and never caught up. However, if someone links them all in order then I might go back and read it all... and assuming I finish reading before the sun dies then I might do a gisting for everyone.

It's always been easy for me to remember loads of details regarding vacations, particularly vacations abroad. The whole excitement of being in a foreign place, different languages, food and so forth kind of etches the experience into your brain. You never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religions. Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the price he has to pay for being intelligent but not, as yet, intelligent enough. --Aldous Huxley

Someone link them all together in one post please. PLEASE. "Why would I wanna read the book? All I'm saying is, I see a game every day. I watch baseball every day. I have a better understanding about why things happen than the computer, because the computer only tells you what you put in it. I could make that computer say what I wanted it to say, if I put the right things in there. ... The computer is only as good as what you put in it. How do you think we got Enron?"

Aw. I was gonna be a smartass and link the entire thread as one page, but it seems morn never fixed the issue with that. "Games are not novels, and the ways in which they harbor novelistic aspirations are invariably the least interesting thing about them." - Steven Johnson

I'm not going to post the whole thing as a single mega-post as that would be insane and would probably irreversibly break PC. The whole thing is over 50 pages single-spaced in Word. So here are permalinks to each individual post. Itinerary Part I Part II Part III Part IV Part V Part VI Part VII Part VII Part IX Part X And here is the whole thing in Word. |

You're so helpful. Where's the thanksgman.com domain? "Games are not novels, and the ways in which they harbor novelistic aspirations are invariably the least interesting thing about them." - Steven Johnson

I think you'll have to settle for this. |

Boobs in the fourth image. Well done. "Games are not novels, and the ways in which they harbor novelistic aspirations are invariably the least interesting thing about them." - Steven Johnson

Truly, the phrase "TITS OR GTFO" was never more appropriate. |

I read them all Cheesy, every word. Good stuff. Thanks. Great posts, great photos and great video. Thanks. So how did you remember all of this in such detail, where you keeping a journal along the way or something? I remembered a lot of it, but mostly forgot the time lines of the little stuff. Thankfully we had over 700 pictures and 3 hours of video to help me remember the order in which things happened. I had hoped to keep a journal, but I never did. Our safari company did send us a safari book with pages for a journal so the opportunity was there. The book did have a check list for animals, reptiles, trees and birds that was helpful. I didn't start checking the birds off until after a couple of days. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.
