Reminds me of my vacation in Turkey. I adore white buildings. This one looks especially beautiful.

Flickerdart — November 29, 2008 @ 10:49 pm

Reminds me of Dali. If only it were an ugly-ass shade of light green.

SumoSnipe — November 30, 2008 @ 12:03 am

I really like those porch columns.

Carcassonne is a beautiful, incredibly impressive place. Go!

First settled around 3000BC. That is some old-ass shit right there.

token2k6 — November 27, 2008 @ 9:20 am

also, not to be confused w/ the free Xbox Live game we all got for some reason or another as an apology from Microsoft…

@token2k6: What? Really? I had to buy it!

sylvanish — November 27, 2008 @ 11:50 am

pah, Sparta didn’t need no dang walls!

Deluxe — November 27, 2008 @ 12:55 pm

The castle of Carcassonne has some good legends about sieges taking place there.

And when you visit the castle, it reveals traps made for make the life of attackers harder.
Quite interesting to visit.

Oops, awful english. Sorry.

dieAntagonista — October 31, 2008 @ 5:04 pm

Why yes, so where can I get one of these.

WaltherKid — October 31, 2008 @ 5:06 pm

I’d add a glass bottom for high tide.

Wasn’t that in Lemony Snicket?

I consider this to be an excellent image.

This was the house in Nights in Rodanthe right?

Flappycunt — October 31, 2008 @ 5:39 pm

YES-excellent image. reminds me of “the chateau de’relaxo” in laguna beach- a friends old pad. If your near laguna beach- Its the ONLY house left in Cali ON the beach. literally. El-nino got him red-tagged.

WaltherKid — October 31, 2008 @ 5:48 pm

@Flappy - really? I’ll have to check that out. I’m about 15 minutes from Laguna beach.

Flappycunt — October 31, 2008 @ 5:53 pm

@WaltherKid: south of public beaches- on the “private” beaches- which is stupid- no body can own a beach! but anyways, south laguna. good luck finding a staircase open to public…it does have some really good tide pools near it.

WaltherKid — October 31, 2008 @ 5:55 pm

If I get a chance, I’ll hunt it down and snap an image. Maybe I can get it up here on [MCS].

Flappycunt — October 31, 2008 @ 5:55 pm

They’re just going to get the boobs drunk and have rough sex with them. I’ve seen Russian porn.

Paul_Is_Drunk — October 24, 2008 @ 10:45 pm

From http://www.geekologie.com, I presume?

It’s much funnier with the original article.

____________________________________________
Apparently suspended ceilings are popular in Russia because upstairs neighbors have a penchant for getting drunk and leaving the bathtub running all night.

In Russia suspended ceiling is not only a stylish element of the flat interior, it can simply save your dwelling from flood made by the careless neighbors living above. Like in this case the practice shows that it is able to gather and hold all the water. Now the question is how to pour it off safely. But just imagine you wake up one morning and your ceilings look like this!

If I woke up one morning and my ceiling looked like that I’d think, “damn, I got a sexy fuckin’ ceiling.” And then, if nobody was around, I might do some light to moderate fondling. Just kidding, I don’t care who sees.

dieAntagonista — October 24, 2008 @ 10:51 pm

gor — October 21, 2008 @ 8:33 pm

It is a nice place, the hard part is trying not to get shot if you walk there from Camden Yards

Over 20 of our 176 murders (so far) just between those two points for this year and it’s been a mild year. Here’s an excellent website about our murders http://www.burgersub.org (many of them near and around John Hopkins).

nyokki — October 21, 2008 @ 10:10 pm

I went to Baltimore a few weeks ago and spent the day in Fell’s Point, including the ghost tour. I’ve been to Baltimore dozens of times (when the Yankees are in town) and had never heard of Fell’s Point. That’s a nice little secret you’ve been keeping.

gor — October 21, 2008 @ 11:26 pm

Yeah, Fell’s Point cool, its been in a lot of movies and tv shows. Much of Homicide: Life on the Streets was filmed there.

purple banana — October 22, 2008 @ 12:10 am

@gor: I’m a long-time Balitmoron, born and raised in the city. Although you bring up a good point, the vast, VAST majority of the shootings in Baltimore are black-on-black gang-related shootings; as long as you don’t walk through Hopkins, Druid Hill, Rosedale, or North Ave. with a Coach purse, high heels, short skirt unaccompanied, and drunk at night, your chances of even getting shot at are pretty low. Even then, if a girl’s doing all that, she’s more likely to get mugged, raped, or stabbed than to get shot.

purple banana — October 22, 2008 @ 12:15 am

@nyokki: Fells Point is like the bar haven of Bmore. It’s a nice area (for Baltimore, at least). Try looking up some info online next time you choose to swing by The City That Charm Forgot…

Federal Hill has some okay places, too. I like Zeeba Hookah Lounge.

As a side note, I’ve worked for Hopkins as a histology tech, phlebotomist, and a nursing tech on the neuro unit, as well as being a patient there through several procedures… I’ll just say I prefer UMD’s hospital by a large margin…

nyokki — October 22, 2008 @ 12:24 am

@gor: @purple banana: We were doing the tour and I kept wondering how had I not known this little gem was there. Cool bars, nice eateries and excellent shopping. We went through on a gorgeous Saturday night listening to all the ghost stories (which were a bit silly, but the history that came w/ them were really interesting), then hit a bar that I can’t remember the name of (It was supposed to be haunted w/ dead headless chickens in the cellar).

gor — October 22, 2008 @ 1:05 am

@pbanana, I agree with what you are saying and even though my family is multi-racial, if I was to say what you said I would have morons like Caio call me a racist redneck (though I would guess I’m the only redneck whose last few symphonies I went to performed the works of Mozart and Vivaldi, Caio is such an idiot).

Anyways, I do like Baltimore, the history is really interesting (Egar Allen Poe anyone?), I take my boy to see the Orions play a few times a year, my wife likes going to the Inner Harbor and the museums are really great (I really like the Museum of Techology and the B&O Museum), but the shootings are horrible (even if most are criminals shooting criminals). The bad part is when a bright intelligent person like Christopher Clark gets shot down because he was caught in the cross-fire between two criminals trying to kill eachother. It’s pretty bad when it’s safer to be a combat soldier serving in Iraq and Afghanistan than to be a living in Baltimore.

englishelectriclightning — October 13, 2008 @ 6:55 pm

I have a photo of two UK Royal Air Force F-4 Phantoms flying past this building in the early 70`s.I always wondered when an image of this place would crop up again.It`s so spectacular that it`s a wonder you don`t see it more often.

General X — October 14, 2008 @ 2:23 am

Back in the 90′ties when I visited this part of the world with my choir (don’t ask) I was given a private tour of this marvelous castle. Among other things we saw the early 3d image that changes as you move, the golden tree, the “fantasy” room that is essentially a cave they made inside complete with hidden doors. As a final touch they took us to the tower at the very top.
All in all it was a great tour and a great building. Oh, another tidbit Ludvig drowned in the local lake before the castle was completed and he never got to see his beautiful work.

FlappyCunt — October 10, 2008 @ 7:05 pm

FlyingMantisShrimp — October 10, 2008 @ 7:59 pm

Gunface’s mother and I visited this on our first date. It was simply amazing.

thelotuseater725 — October 10, 2008 @ 8:40 pm

Dude i wold so have burning torches and black metal music constantly playing if i lived there. Also some horribly deformed hulk of a man who wears a skull shaped mask made out of iron scraps patrolling the grounds with a nail spiked pike. And Ronnie James Dio would be sitting on the top of the tower constantly singing rainbow in the dark while dragons being ridden by jagged armor knights are locked in an eternal battle of evil versus pure evil in a black and blue thunder lit sky made OF FIRE.

Flickerdart — October 10, 2008 @ 8:56 pm

This looks a lot like a police academy near Novorossiysk, which is on the shore of the same sea. Why, you ask?
The land was offered free for construction that wouldn’t make the shore uglier. The solution was, of course, castle. Then it was repossessed in the Revolution and put to good use. Maybe the people who train there then go to fight the dragons that the above poster was talking about, but more likely they just get drunk a lot.

Caio — October 9, 2008 @ 9:23 pm

I dunno. I think it’d be nice to live in a place like this. There’s kind of a symmetrical beauty to it all and also you probably wouldn’t have to get to know your landlord very well. I hate smalltalking with landlords.

I was going to say that some of these reminded me of Hong Kong.

I don’t think I could handle living in that situation… if anything, because I don’t see how they could possibly control any pest infestations. I live in a house turned into an apartment building and even with monthly treatments, the issues are never ending because some of my neighbors are fucking pigs.

Elepski — October 10, 2008 @ 3:06 am

At least they have housing…

dieAntagonista — October 10, 2008 @ 3:33 am

Ah I love China oh yes. How can you not fall in love with such extremes. Oh yea talk about feeling mediocre.
In a society like that, you will only get noticed if you’re really successful or pretty damn amazing. That’s the main reason I would wanna live there
for a while.
Just to see how much it would provoke me to live
up to my full potential.

Brevity Truta — October 10, 2008 @ 5:26 am

They remind me of termite mounds, the kind we get up north: http://travelblog.viator.com/w.....-in-nt.jpg
something that’s not original, comparing the way big cities are like insect hives, just the way they’re not surrounded by smaller buildings really reminded me.

Plus, pastels, I like that. Apartments are alright if you have a balcony. I don’t like being glassed in.

FlappyCunt — October 10, 2008 @ 6:25 pm

Flappy cunt you need to steady your mind a bit. Learn to focus. You have a lot of potential but you’re all over the place.

Would you like me to link you to some websites on meditation. I’ll really help you find your centre man.

Lord Cocksworth — October 10, 2008 @ 3:00 am

“centre”? Holy shit is Caio British? Or did you just do that because somebody mentioned London.

@Caio: 1-centre, your canadian arn’t you- don’t worry, i was once of red maple blood. Then peer preasure prevailed and im a fuckin dumb american now.-you know public schools and community colleges..2- I did study meditation -Buddhism and such. Though much has been lost to poor quality american drugs. I think thats the main point- too many = all over the place. Beer is now my friend- but he’s not allowed at work

FlappyCunt — October 10, 2008 @ 6:39 pm

Allthough- I do keep a sticky-note with two sides- 1- is prophets-those whom wisdom can be entertaining. And 2- the FAILs -whom share no wisdom of time and space- and should get off their parents cpu.
Caio, Diabetus, Paul is drunk, -these are a few of section 1.
There are amany of section two.i will let those know.
