wanna help a girl out? :)

hey guys... long time no see, again!!!

umm anyways.... I know this is lame but I've submitted this tee design to Threadless... and if they like it they'll print it and sell it and stuff.... and that would be mega cool.... so I was just wondering, if anyone feels like voting for it? You gotta register, it's a little bit of a pain but if you don't mind I'd be ever so grateful.

If you wanna, go here: http://www.threadless.com/submission/23 ... ne_to_Push

thanks

Speaking of octopus, check out this 19' squid that was found in the gulf of Mexico

That's a really nice design celandine. Nice to see you around again. You should really hang out with us cool folk here more. We miss ya.

I gave it a 4.

aww, c'mon joebert it'd look great on you! If I had PS handy, I'd prove it.

heheheeheh thanks guys

I'm definitely planning to come back and hang with you cool people - my php course is progressing wonderfully, and I'm gonna need so much help it's not even funny!!

jesus that squid!!!! can you imagine seeing that thing in the water?!?!?!

I can, I can ride my bike to the Gulf of Mexico. Needless to say with all the sharks and now giant squid I don't think I'll be doing much swimming anymore.

I'd love to see a shark in the wild. My biggest dream ever is to go diving with manta rays..... but squid and octopi are just my favorite things for some reason, although divers that tried diving deep with humboldt squids didn't have too great a time of it. any one of those things can pull the mask off your face in a heartbeat.

also they have three hearts. how cool is that?!?!

I'd recommend both. I'm no adventurer, just open water certified. I've happened on a couple of sharks, one being a 6ft. nurse and then schools of rays twice. Cool stuff.

lucky man I saw rays in the water, but only teeny wickle ones. And no sharks of any size

someday!!!

I actually wanted to study marine biology, but I was cursed by being born in a country with no sea, so the endeavor would have been a costly one. *le sigh*

Me too pre-geek days. Didn't want to leave my family and I was rather land-locked myself in TN, US.

hahahah funny where one finds similarities with people

And swimming with sea turtles is cool too. We did that in Hanauma Bay on Oahu in 1998. The secret to it is to get there bright and early in the morning...there's less tourists which means less crowds and all the good aquatic wildlife hasn't been scared away for the day yet.

That one I've yet to do. I've had a few chances to photograph them on the shores, but all were protected areas so I couldn't get in. I would love that experience. I have gotten to swim with manatees, though. Thus far the only 'encounter' I've intentionally scheduled and paid for. They're like big pets - LOVE fin and belly scratches.

Wow.

Here in Florida the sea turtle nests are common enough that the wildlife people just put a small red tape perimeter around the nests (maybe 10x10 feet) and everyone just inherently knows to stay away from them while on the beach.

It's kinda cool to be out on a small boat fishing where you can't see land and all of a sudden you look beside you and there's a freaking turtle that's about a quarter the size of your boat swimming next to you. That whole not seeing land thing kinda messes with your head when you catch a shark though.
