Foamy T. Squirrel

I am gonna be so fucked now. Somewhere between the NSA, the IRS, and now Google, there's no place for a squirrel to hide anymore. :-[ Maybe I should skip the pecans and start collecting the buds from the neighbor's growing operation...

Actually kids, despite the fact that he's usually annoying, Snaky is partially right. Some members of CC are RLC spies. The rest of us work as NSA, FSB, or as privateers. I work for the squirrels. I'm safe. You can talk to me. Privateer squirrels only want acorns, pecans, that sort of thing. And little squirrels get a bit tired of reminding people that they should be a bit more tactful when deriding others, because little squirrel is now a mod and he receives complaints about asshole posters all the fucking time. And he receives reports from asshole reporters all the time. We need to encourage civilized members here. Now, back on topic: Does Jenny look like a fun addition or what?

In the US, we have what is called "The Fair Use Doctrine," in which you can cite short snippets of works from others to help express an idea or concept. It's necessary to ensure freedom of speech, especially that of a political nature. We have this ability in the US (not granted by a government -- it's that exceptionalist thing educated people understand and that everyone thinks is evil), and it's necessary. However, it doesn't necessarily apply to borrowing large works of others engaged in personal or commercial work (it's that legal thing that makes lawyers make a living.) However, RLC is a public entity, worthy of comment, so I think they allow some "Fair Use" to rule: as long as it's controlled and people are not just ripping them off. CC does work as advertising and the fact that publication of pictures on CC lasts is because we have a paying membership base and it excludes the massive rip-off sites from stealing the pictures that we have "borrowed" from RLC to illustrate our comments. That's just a fricking guess, of course.

A very close and dear friend.

Thank you for going to the trouble to prove your own point. Saves us time. ;D

Yes, that's true. And yes, tbg is correct to say we need to exercise a very wide latitude and have tolerance for the jack-ass opinions of fuck-wits. But the quality level of posters seems to be getting tedious, deplorable, and boring, lacking all humor, wit, and fun. They belong on 4chan/b, not here. It behooves us to subtly defend our little island of CC freedom. We can start by adopting step 1: DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS. They hate being ignored. Ignore them. Step 2:Treat others with some modicum of respect. Especially then tenants. Hell, Suzan & Hector just moved in and everybody's bitching about them already. There's no RLC show without them. If you don't like a couple, move on to an apartment you appreciate. Step 3: If another CC member gives you shit, laugh at him and just move on. Otherwise, he wins. Playing nicely in the sand box is easy. Bring your little green army men, your dinosaurs, your Tonka trucks, your shovels, dolls and pie pans. Share them. But don't shit in our sand box. Everybody here should be old enough to have been potty trained. Thank you.

According to me the guys on the other site Reallifecamfan.com are full of shit. Actually, it appears that the dudes on Reallifecamfan are no more full of shit that we are.

Albacore: Thanks for the sensible approach to the subject of this apartment. There is no reason why every RLC apartment needs to operate the same way. It certainly adds a variety to the mix.

Geeze, guys, I had that post up for less than a minute before removing it! Even I can't get off on that fetish. I'm surprised you even noticed it. Whelp, this should make amends while satisfying everyone's interest in the subject for once and for all:

Gee, am I old school or what? I've been struggling away with my Kriegsmarine Enigma Emulator too long. No wonder it takes Leora, Nora, and Maya so long to respond to my love letters... :D

RLC's techniques for matching captures of their feeds to their end users are well known. We all know about the visible codes (easily cropped out of a picture) and the blinking braille dots (which also use the same tracking number tagged to the user's account name). There very well may be more subtle encoding going on, simply my manipulating pixels on the screen. It was once theorized that you could transmit instructions for making a nuclear bomb within a series of jpg's and no one would notice. (Newbies: The history of CC posts and RLC's DMCA actions is here. Though the visible code can be edited easily, the blinking dots have made posting of videos difficult and laborious at best. Things have gone downhill since then, but so far they haven't slapped CC with a take-down order. Perhaps because CC is cheap advertising, or, more likely, because they fear the wrath of our mighty Admin. http://camcaps.net/random-discussion/rlc-is-getting-serious-about-violating-their-terms-conditions/ )

This is now an educational thread:

I might suggest that people who find N&K worthy of eternal bashing consider clicking on Veronica & Lucas instead. They might be happier and more fulfilled over there. You might want to avoid sitting on the couch, however. (Just an inside I&M joke there, kids! ;D)

The apartment is essentially a bed and breakfast for traveling models who are on working vacations. They can make contacts, they can see the sights: they aren't living day-to-day, they're on "holiday" as the Brits say. I don't know about you, but if I could visit Barcelona for several weeks, I sure as hell wouldn't hang out in my motel room all day. There's lots to see there. Check out Barcelona travel promotional films on the Internet. (There's at least one out there that CC members who do their research would find extremely interesting, incidentally. 8) )

Nice bit of research, old boy... I was especially fond of the jigsaw puzzle...;D :-X

Generally, men tend to prefer women who look healthy enough with which to mate and who can breed children. Generally, women prefer men who are powerful enough to protect them and their off-spring. It's been that way for millions of years. The precise criteria, however, change with time and environment. Excess fat is no longer a sign of health for women (it once was); and battle axes are no longer a sign of power for the men. It's all "slender and fit" for the women and "smart and money" for the guys.

The thread, Bluto, has nothing to do with Paul & Scooter, though I thought your comment to be amusing and insightful. Probably the best so far. So back on topic: will Leora's baby have a solid brown tail or a black and white-stripped tail? ;D Inquiring woodland creatures want to know! ;D

If you don't like Kiko, fine. Just don't pay attention to the man behind the curtain.

Obviously, everyone seems to have an opinion about Nora & Kiko, but few understand the history of RLC, or Nora & Kiko, but with a focused effort on research, I believe some members could refine their conception regarding the place N&K hold, and why certain CC members defend them.

I think the idea of this apartment is to hold your interest like a fantasy quick affair or a fantasy one-night stand would had done back in your "don't wanna get hooked up yet" days.

Soy nuts?! What the fuck are soy nuts?! People think real nuts are vegetables? No fucking way. Nuts grow on TREES, dammit. Flax seed??? WTF? You think I'm going waste my time gathering flax seeds? What are they for? People who can't shit, or what???!!! So this is how Kooloos makes his money! Through subterfuge! I'm picky! I demand pecans! Or at least more of the three girls cuz that apartment is finally starting to rock now...

Actually, there is a dj on CC, but it's not me. I'm just an old squirrel who remembers a time when people would line up at records stores to buy the new releases of Beatles and Stone's albums, and when people played the Beatles for Christmas (especially the White Album) and the Stones (all of their albums) for New Years. And nobody really gave them any competition until Led Zeppelin showed up. And dammit, I missed everything too. In fact, the only things I can catch happening on RLC are Maya's cats. Maybe Rita will adopt a kitten -- or better yet -- a squirrel. (But it will probably be a snake, because they're such a damn phallic symbol of damnation and sin ;D )

Actually, Nora is the one running the show. She's hiring some very nice employees. A good boss delegates responsibilities properly. From Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band: obviously Rita's already established a fan club with all the lonely hearts at CC:

Will everybody quit their pussy ass flame wars and incessant bitching? Or maybe take it over to Old Dudes to fight it out there? Christ on a crutch! This aint's fucking /b, dammit. Squirrel is interested in learning something about Suzan and Hector. Is that too much to ask from CamCaps???
