First!
And ewwww, puss caterpillar. It looks like a cross between a very hairy tarantula and who knows what else.
Okay, off to explore the United Federation of Planets!
I for one welcome our new Hairy Catepillar overlords…
I want one of those supersized so i can walk it around on a leash, and play fetch.
Okay, off to play with GeoCommons!
Well that didn’t work out too well! This is what I meant to show:
I wonder how many people it took to hold that kite? I imagine a big gust of wind coming along and lifting them up in a jackass movie sort of way.
Bento challenge?!? I accept. Mmmm, nippon-licious….
And for my first comment, something completely expected:
Martian Leisures?
Cool! Hope it\’s not a black hole or else we\’ll all be sucked innnnnnnnnnnnn……..helppppppppp.
STAY AWAY FROM THE SAND TRAP!
Martha2: \”Hey Martha3, the hole can speak!\”
Martha3: \”Yeah, well tell it to shuddup or I\’ll stuff it with cheese!\”
Martha4: \”With what, er, Swiss cheese, the extra holey kind? HA-ha-ha-ha-he-he, Ho-ho, hole, hole,… GULP!\”
Martha2: \”Hey! What happened to Martha4?\”
“I really can’t tell you very much, officer. He was wearing a baseball cap and shades and up-market sneakers and he looked a little wasted….”
Hey Kam, why no linky to your Kampics™ ?
Also, can you see these new planets from your place?
It seems you\’re closer as this report was posted in HonoLULU!

\”Why no officer, haven\’t seen anyone who fits that description\”

I once saw this standup comedian who did his routine with paper bags on his head. Don\’t remember his name, but he was hilarious and kept removing bags while telling jokes revealing yet another paper bag. He looked like your pictorial. I guess he\’s still WANTED.
Was it “The Unknown Comic”?
That\’s him! I hadn\’t laughed so hard in a long time. Is he still around? This was quite a while back.
He lives forever in YouTubia. Probably in Wikipedia too.
Classic! did you notice a yong Steve Martin as a panelist?
Yes, Steve Martin Yong related to Jimmy Martin Wong!
Just kidding Kam, playing on your TYPO, since I’m aka Typo-Man!
(Joanne anointed me, which is way cooler than been anointed by the Queen…)
That guy looks like a CIA assassin!
You sure it wasn’t The Bong Show?

OK, the Google pix are cool as hell. I was able to “walk” right past the block I grew up on, and to note that the little post-mounted mailbox I remember so vividly from childhood has been replaced by your standard boring blue mail receptable. Pretty amazing.
But seriously, and without trying to be snarky, what is this good for besides making people like me go “wow”? I can’t think of a real-world application that even begins to approach the utility of, say, being able to call up street-level maps of the entire country, and even look at the sat photos to spot landmarks.
It must cost a fortune to send the camera vehicles chugging down all those streets. Any real purpose to it?
And: via reddit, here’s a guy who probably thinks Google should just mind its own damn business:
“I swear I was at the library!”
Drew, why do everyone\’s links open inside the comments window whereas my links open up an entirely new window? Did I miss something in this month\’s issue of \”How to Post Comments on Rocketboom?\”
Auto-link adds target=\”_blank\” to the <a ..> tag. So you just type the tag yourself and leave it out. Duh!
wanna see what i was thinking of ….
enjoy it :
il se fait tard mais celle ci je n’ai pas pu m’en empecher.
Mille excuses Joanne
hope you’ll catch it … (the joke of course…)
Here’s an example of why the world doesn’t care about toxic dump sites in Africa. They’re just too damn busy!!!

I don’t think I can top arenas image of Joanne as a Playboy bunny but if anyone is interested, you can see more of my Rocketboom chalk art here just scroll down to the bottom of the page.
Thanks Drew, for showing them.
My friends tell me I have entirely too much time on my hands. Idiots!
later people
Amazing detail work, especially the animals.
I bet you could make one heck of a stone pipe… if, um, er, you ever felt like making one. For tobacco, I mean. Yeah, that’s it.
Now I feel pressured to send in snapshots of me cutting the grass or something.
Thanks Kam. Those are so nice.
Great work in so many mediums…!!!
KamArt™
Kam, that is incredible work.
I love it.
For B-man!

Origin of hole on the moon:
One cow didn\’t make it as he tried to jump over the moon.
He imploded, the rest is history… the bees\’ sensitive
radar honed in on this newly created home and figured,
it\’s now or never. \”We\’ve been slaves to the Queen bees
for millennia, let\’s make a break for it.\” And so they joined
forces and flew to the moon. Bee mystery solved.
Moral: Beeware of missing cows.

No mention of my theory.

Now (as Han said in Star Wars) wait a parsec here, what\’s all this about \”recent light years?\”
Oh well, there you are. Enjoy! :)
It\’s one-eyed Jack!
The unusual hole pictured above was found on the slopes of the giant Martian volcano Arsia Mons.
but where is it ? special thanks to http://www.google.com/mars/
Mr. Kam, sir, I hope that you won’t mind: I could not resist stealing some of your original art work (from the link that you posted above) to make yet another “hole” montage-like ‘creation’…
I am flattered, honored & a little embarrassed but you can cut & paste all you want!
Apparently you have more time on your hands than I do. ;^) & please, it’s just Kam to my friends, friend.
Nab, you’re fired, Mike is my new hero!
I AM JOANNE!!!AND THIS IS ROCKETBOOM…HOW CUTE YOU ARE!

Hey all, wanted to let you know Casual Friday will arrive this eve. We are also working on a major new sponsorship program that releases Monday. This weekend, I’ll give yall a heads up as to what to expect so we can discuss it here.
Knowing that we’re more sensitive than most of you on this issue, I’m pretty sure yall will agree its a pretty unique & awesome solution.
Thanks to all of you who helped us figure this out over the last several months!
Thanks for the heads up. Of course a delay skips on in on the second day of me watching. The first one\’s always free, right?
How about some Janis while we’re waiting…

Joanne, this site is for you!
http://ecoviz.org/
thanks.
just to let you know that apparently <i> and </i> are working in preview but not when comment is posted
Can someone explain to me how to post a picture within a comment?
well that is simple
First : get the web adress of your image, something like \’http://nameofmysite.something/mypicture.jpg\’
if you don\’t have a site see http://www.flickr.com they provide you free space to upload your pictures
and retrieve you the web adress of your picture (several sizes available)
Then : in your comment just write
<img src=\’http://nameofmysite.something/mypicture.jpg\’>
check with the preview option and that\’s it.
Thanks!
I really don\’t know!!!
Really!!!
Glad to see I didn\’t miss the show today but it does look like I missed a rather fun \’commenting\’ day - sniff, I feel so lonely now …
This is a TEST….
You passed!
FINALLY!!!!!
I think I’m going to cry, I’m so excited. Joanne I dedicate this Lion to you.
You have been a true lioness since you took over the reigns
and made RB 2.0 + RB 3.0 superb, smart, & surprisingly witty.
Thanks Jo!
Thanks Drew!
Thanks Arena….I finally got it!
I’m doing the jig…can you see me…lol

if you want to go further in the wonders of the <img> html tag you can have a look at
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_img.asp
and for adjusting the size of an image go there :
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_image_adjust
It\’s the circle.
The circle of life.
Now B, we gotta talk about how to size an image before you post it….
Gimme a break…. I finally posted a pic…give me 24 hours to enjoy it!
lol…beside Joanne deserves a BIG LIONESS KUDO!
(My brain can only take so much….hi tech stuff….buzzzzz)
Loved that photoshop pic! THANKS Kam!
Show off! but you can\’t win me back that easy.
Only 4 days left to party!
And I so wanted to post my exclusive Prison Pics on RB….

AMAZING!
You photoshoppers are making me jealous!
(Hitting the wine bottle, can\’t stop RBeing!)
MARS ATTACKS backwards is SKCATTA SRAM.
Coincedence? I think not.
F—ing fantastic!
Is anyone else seeing all this new stuff!
All I can do is B-link…
While creating this mashup above, I came across some interesting history about the Mars Attacks cards that led to Tim Burton\’s movie. You can find it at http://www.marsattacksfan.com/homepage.htm
From the site: \”The cards, which sold for 5 cents a pack in 1962, were quickly denounced by parents who were shocked by the bloody, gory, graphic (cool!) pictures, and were pulled off the market after a very short time.\” Now a complete set is worth more than $2000.
Hey, they paid me a whole lot more than that to play the prez…hehe!
Thanks for the background info, kid!
I had no idea. That is really interesting.
Do you suppose that in 40 years a Mars Attacks DVD will be worth that much?
Last one, really.

friend of yours?
Na, Googled him under \”pool table shots\” that kid wouldn\’t stand a chance against me!
Sorry re caterpillar, but shouldn\’t that be puss as in boots as opposed to pus as in bus.
