Topic: Musings from a cameraphone

While I hate commuting to Manhattan, the long rides to and from work allow me to see a rich panoply of things. Ever since I got a camera phone back in December, I've taken pictures of the stranger things I've seen, plus other random occurances. I'll link them, rather than post them as images, since some of them are quite large.

The Empire State Building at night.

Another shot of the Empire State Building around X-mas time. I get a great view of it every night as I walk up Broadway to catch my train.

Our seats at the Evil Dead the Musical show. Yes, those plastic covers were more than necessary.

Random graffiti. I like the amount of effort that went into this.

The only thing funny about the movie Norbitt.

A jellyfish! One wonders the motivations behind drawing such a creature.

This one's so stupid, it's funny.

Saw this whilst waiting for a haircut. MY BABY IS GAY!

Buddy almost passed out in the back seat of my car.

Another buddy passed out. Yes, that's a teardrop on his cheek and a penis with wings on his forehead.

And finally....

Someone decided to take a shit up against the wall of the train station. As of this morning, the deuce is still there.

I'd let this thread die, but I saw something that I had to share.

And this is why I love commuting to Manhattan, and yet I hate commuting to Manhattan.

Do you get strange looks as you stop to take pictures of human shit?

Funny you should say that, because there was a third deuce on the wall today! I'm not taking a picture of it, though, because now it's starting to get played out.

Cool pictures!

I still haven't figured out how to get the images on my phone onto my PC. It only works the other way round.

Does your phone have a memory card slot? I bought a microSD transflash card with a regular SD card adapter, so I just use my normal card reader to get the pictures.

No, unfortunately not. Just its onboard (onphone?) memory.

Check with the phone's vendor; they might have a USB adapter/software kit. Failing that, you could always email the pictures to your gmail or something from the phone.

No USB or direct PC connection possible, the only way is bluetooth, I'm afraid.

This actually works fine as long as I move stuff from the PC to the phone, but if I try the other direction, I get a device not found error, or something like that. Perhaps my new Vista PC will solve that problem, but even if not, I doubt that my four years old phone takes good pictures anyway, so I can live without them.

It all comes down to who makes the bigger deuce.

Oh, it's a monster, too. It looks like whoever did this stood about four feet away and just sprayed chocolate pudding and corn kernels everywhere. It was just a little disgusting.

At this rate, I totally could. I'm afraid that this guy or girl is going to start deucing elsewhere, as they are rapidly running out of clean wall.

We've all been there though; Gone into a public restroom, one stall is totally trashed, so we go to the next one.

If it's a totally empty place and you're, like, the only person there at 2am or something then use the ladies. The ladies is always bloody spotless.

Just remember to run out and use the sinks in the gents.

I worked in a grocery store for a while when I was younger and my experience was always the opposite. While the men's room would have isolated instances of disgustingness - I.E. somebody creating art on the walls with shit as a medium - the women's room was more consistently gross. Cleaning up after Mount Crapatoa is one thing, but the deranged game of Minesweeper in which you had to guess which little toilet paper wad left on the floor of the women's room contained a soggy feminine hygeine product is an entirely different experience.

Yeah, the women's rooms are a million times more disgusting than the men's rooms.

Yeah, at my work the men's would always smell like urine no matter what, but it was really the women's bathroom that was actually dirty most of the time.

There were constantly little torn up strips of toilet paper everywhere. Not wrapping up the products, like Artty had problems with, but just the torn up shreds. It was like they were nesting in there or something.
