Many phones are sold in a "with camera" and "without camera" configuration -- precisely because corporations don't want cameras on their site. Not point in making it *easier* for employees or visitors to snap a quick photo of some delicate, company sensitive info.

So they quite probably gave him that phone on purpose.

Nah... Blackberries just don't have cameras. I don't know about the new models, though.

Right. Here's an early draft of the promised avatar for Marc....

Quote:
Still to be added: a squirrel twitching from the mouth, and (somewhere) a monkey mask.
"In the worlds before the monkey mask, primal chaos reigned..."

Quote:
We've got six hands to work with. What do you want them to be doing?
Well...

Quote:
(And let's remember, please, that this is a family-friendly forum--
...damn!

(and I choose to think of the word "retractable" in regards to some understandably absent bits of anatomy, or otherwise may have to go ask T how he has come to terms with the absence)

Quote:
though not a kidney-friendly one. )
How about Rúyì Jīngū Bàng in one...hand (or just tucked behind the ear).

I love you, Neko-chan.

Cheers,
Marc (Irrepressible!)

Oh, and if you want additional props-- e.g. an electric guitar-- they can probably be arranged.
Oh, yeah, good idea, but if so make mine the retronymic "acoustic" (or, better, a mandolin or banjo!).

Cheers,
Marc

Rúyì Jīngū Bàng - check.

Hm. Not sure I have a mandolin. I have a nice Japanese biwa, though. It would go well with the monkey mask. And the Rúyì Jīngū Bàng, for that matter.

Yes, I think there's some retractable anatomy involved. If you'd like a loincloth or something (or maybe a tshirt, "I heart OZ"?) that can also be arranged.

Only 3 fingers... kind of hard to do the Vulcan sign. Hm....

dress him in a toga, like me !! (then he could have *several* retractable parts, in different places)

Why would you want to ban Joes? I've known several Joes and they're fine folks -- you know just your average Joes .... oh, wait, banjos! Nevermind: yes, let's not have any of those, this is a family forum, after all. Which also means that accordions are right out.

I've been in a few bands, some have included banjo players. One of my favorite jokes at their expense:

Q. Why don't you see any banjoes on Star Trek?
A. It's set in the future.

Nothing, personally, but I used to have a sticker on my dulcimer case that said "Play the accordion, go to jail, it's the law." But that sticker was from California, so ....

But they're so darned tolerant ... as long as you're just like them. Prowly why I never seemed comfortable out there, now that I think about it.
