Yes there are more pictures I want to post that are christmasy I'm hoping to make it to the live Navity and maybe get some pictures there on friday we shall see if that happens. I also want to write a post about how Wal-Mart is good. Yes they get a lot of bad press but there is some good things about them to. This last picture is of a picture I wish I thought to take. When checking out at Wal-mart this was pointed out to me, I should have got one of each 3 flavors. They Where Mountain Dew, Pepsi, and Dr. Pepper Flavored lip balm, I wish I took a picture of all 3.

If I was thinking I would have bought extras so I could try them or maybe even send them out to people. That reminds me if anyone is going to a mall don't be shy and if you see a nice charity like Toys For Tots give something. I'm not saying you have to buy $100 toy or anything and I'm not saying you have extra money. But if you have some money that will be more usefull to someone else spend it on helping someone else if you can. Oh yeah and to all of those that give up your time and Volunter thank you.

Stuffed Animals for e:PMT & e:tinypliny
Category: photos
So some time back in Nov. (e:Paul) posted this picture of a stuffed tiger that he wanted . I went on to explain that there are something that once you get one you wind up getting more of them, stuffed animals are and example of that. I guessed that was one of the reasons he wasn't allowed to get one. So I decided my next photo project would be to take stuffed animal pictures.

I will admit I'm not sure how my collection started. I know it started one of two ways. There was this credit card that if you filled it out you got a free bear with a Bomber Jacket and Bomber Glasses I have 23 and they are awesome, think I got them at the Fair. But I think my Panda Bears predate them. Those where free from using Fuji film.

I have also along the way got Stuffed animals with like Hard Rock Cafe stuff. The bear or dog with the Crazy Ears is from work. When we used to distribute Fishermen's Friend I got a couple of those. I Have a WWF bear from when I went to Wrestlemania. The Garfield I won with Candy at work. Then there is some Wrestling ones Like the Undertaker and Triple H and Sting. Then I have the Green Monkey from wicked, a Blue Christmas Stitch (Stitch is pretty good in that movie) and I think a couple version of white tigers. There is a part of me that says I shouldn't post these but here it goes anyways.

On a Side Note I do remember that I have one bear that is hidden behind stuff that has a Halloween mask of Frankenstein. I also don't have any of the sex bears like any one in chains or with dicks or anything like that.
metalpeter - 12/08/09 19:42
(e:tinypliny) I mistyped that says 23 but that is wrong it should have said 2. I'm thinking I that I was thiking that I had 2 or 3 and it is two.

(e:Jbeaty) I was only given one of the stuffed animals but, it isn't like people know I like so they give them to me. Some where free as in like a work give away where everyone gets one and some I bought.

(e:Theecarey) I wish I Had some of the Sex bears but I don't have any, I'm also not sure where they sell them, hope you enjoy them.
theecarey - 12/07/09 22:38
That is quite a collection! I have two largish (& flat) ones that I use as pillows & then the rest of the small collection sit on a shelf (they're mostly from childhood, (e:theecarey,35965)) You mentioned the sex themed animals which reminds me of one a friend gave me. It is a small stuffed bear wearing leather, holding a leash, and a few other sexual themed items. One of my nicknames is "Carebear", and all of the animated Carebear characters have a theme, so my friend thought it would be real funny to give me a "bondage bear".

tinypliny - 12/07/09 21:19
I thought for a minute that I had clicked on (e:Mike)'s journal...


"There was this credit card that if you filled it out you got a free bear with a Bomber Jacket and Bomber Glasses I have 23 "

WHA?!! Do you really have 23 credit cards? And 23 free bears with 23 bomber jackets and 23 bomber glasses??? REALLY?

jbeatty - 12/07/09 21:08
Do people give you stuffed animals just because they know you collect them? I have known some people who receive disturbing amounts of winnie the pooh shit and hippos just because people know they collect it. I should start telling people I collect rare wines.

Holiday Pot Luck
Category: photos
First of all thanks to (e:pmt) for hosting. Second of all it was a great time. Third of all the toast to Tony's Birthday was nice as well. I heard I missed great conversation about she males, that would have been interesting. Everyone that I know of lived. Yes (e:tinypliny) was a blast as she all ways is with that huge knife and talking about things she has tasted that was so funny it really was, it was a great time. Well in no real order here are the pictures from that night hope you enjoy them. They are all candids so some faces might have odd expressions as people make a face or are talking or what ever.

Just wanted to add the food was all pretty good even the veggies, often I don't like them. Hopefully I won't work anther close to 12 hour day and on Wendsday I can post my pictures from the Christmas lights some mall stuff and Famous Dave's. I have started work on my train tag photo project and want to post those this week also. Hoping to get some more photos on wends but we shall see what happens with work.
tinypliny - 12/17/09 20:49
Oh and when everyone burnt their tongues eating it so fast. :-)
metalpeter - 12/17/09 20:14
I wish I was good enough to have gotton a picture where you can see all the steam coming of the dip that was pretty cool to look at.
heidi - 12/16/09 21:51
Thanks for taking pix, (e:metalpeter)! Such strange things I notice in the pictures that I didn't notice while there...

Such good food - Mac & evil from (e:theecarey), bean dip from (e:libertad), cake from (e:james), and of course (e:tinypliny)'s amazing veggies (yeah, everyday!) I really liked gathering in the dining room with all the chairs and the couch - very comfy!

Thank you, (e:peeps)!
metalpeter - 12/16/09 20:30
Thanks again to everyone it was a good time.
tinypliny - 12/16/09 18:26
Hehe @(e:libertad)'s comment. I totally missed that picture scrolling down. Now that I look at it, seems like I am dancing with Tony's ghost.
theecarey - 12/16/09 18:12
It was a really good group of people. Thanks for taking pics, Peter!
paul - 12/16/09 17:33
Thanks (e:metalpeter). At first I was nervous about the party because I wasn't sure if anyone would show up but it turned out great.
matthew - 12/16/09 15:53
Thanks Peter! We can always count on you to take pictures.

The guy with the curly is our friend Jeremey.
jenks - 12/16/09 14:33
Who's the dude with sideshow bob hair in some of the pix with tony?
libertad - 12/16/09 13:53
Nice pics peter. I like the one of (e:enknot) copping a feel from (e:tinypliny)!

Winter of 2009 1st snow.
Category: photos
1st Day of Snow, of this winter (Not of the year that would have been in January I'm guessing). I can admit I'm a bit late on this but late is better then never I guess. I woke up on December 1st to find out it had snowed. I wish I had a car and a great camera there could have been a lot of amazing pictures. The snow looked great there where trees with half covered in snow. The tricky thing is that when it is snowing when you use a flash the flash hits the snow and reflects so everything else is dark but then if it is dark out then the picture is dark. I'm not good enough to find the balance. Well here are the pictures I took that day of the first snowfall. I did try to take some on the bus. The problem with that is there was to much light on the bus so through the glass you get reflections of the bus. If the overhead lights where off then maybe they would have came out. Well here they are:

KFC is gone Good and Bad
Category: elmwood
So as I'm sure a lot of you know the KFC on Elmwood has been closed for some time. I will admit I didn't eat there very often. There are a few reasons for that.
1. KFC has been known to abuse there chickens in the process somehow
2. I eat a lot of bad food but KFC sometimes you eat it and you can feel your heart working overtime that stuff is really bad for you
3. KFC smells so good that when you walk past it, you or atleast I, Can taste it in my mouth, since I can taste it why buy it
4. I Called it KFC before the brand used that name, I use the name becuase saying Kentucky Fried Chicken is to long, they changed to KFC so people would froget it is fried, that pissed me off. Just be Honest about it.

I heard they closed for two reasons one was some kind of sewage problem that wasn't really their fault. I think they also had a rodent problem but that was after that.

This not I'm here to bash KFC and the bad ellement it brought to that corner, that once it closed was no longer around. I am a fan of the KFC/Taco Bell/Pizza Hut brand they used to be Partners with Pepsi who owns Sobe and Fritolay but not sure if they are. In fact when they had the big Star Wars Episode promotions I got some cups at that KFC. In Fact I was Hoping that KFC would get Turned into a Taco Bell but it didn't. I forget what it will become but here are a few pictures that I took on my way to see Ninja Assasin (Very good think it is based on the Animee of the same name).

Those Pictures are from friday not sure how it looks currently
metalpeter - 11/30/09 19:36
just wanted to ad that some timeago I did hear of a plan to build something new there, it might be housing I can't remember
libertad - 11/30/09 13:58
I celebrate the destruction of that ugly building with grease stained windows!
jbeatty - 11/29/09 21:24
I saw them tearing it down last week. I am glad to see it go. Not that I lived in town when it was open. But its an eyesore on that corner. I would rather stare at a vacant lot.
