justin’s comment made me think of a story i heard a long time ago:

someone who lived down the street from a friend of mine had their house broken into while they were on holiday.

the thieves took the general stuff, like tvs and vcrs and jewelry and such. this was back in the mid-late 80s so there wasn’t nearly the technology laying around that we’d have today. still they took everything that was worth more than $20.

luckily the family had taken some of their stuff with them, like wedding jewelry, watches, and their main SLR camera with them. there was a small cheap p+s camera left behind in the house with some film in it, but it was so cheesy that the robbers did not even bother to take it.

so anyway, they get called back home from their vaca when the cops discover the place ransacked, and call their insurance company, lick their wounds, talk to their shrinks, whatever. after a few weeks life slowly starts to feel normal again.

when they go to get their film developed they finish off the roll in the cheesy p+s camera and get that done too.

they finally get the prints back (remember when it took like a fucking week to get film developed and printed?) and start looking through the shots. some of the heartache and disappointment and guilt of being broken into starts to fade away as they look at the fun they had on their trip.

that is, until they discovered that one of the pictures from the p+s camera shows the robbers. well, not the entire robber, really–just him with his pants around his ankles, bent over…

… with the bristle ends of their two toothbrushes wedged up his ass.

I hope foto doesn’t have Stockholm syndrome when you get him back – how horrible would that be? He might take bad pictures on purpose. Maybe you should have a therapist on hand for his homecoming.

What are the odds that the SD card won’t actually be filled with pictures of the fotonappers’ ass(es) upon its return?

Because that’s what I’d do.

Or maybe I’d take pictures of me with the camera down my pants, but I no’t send those along until after you’ve had the camera back for awhile and started taking pictures with it again.

If God were not an AIDS Is Not Funny God, he wouldn’t have invented AIDS. ‘Cause if there is a God, he is obviously quite the joker.

But there isn’t, so Foto is probably screwed.

That is weird and hilarious. It must be someone you know if they know how to contact you, right?

Please ask them if they abducted my dear iPhone, too. He was kidnapped from me a couple weeks ago, but I have heard nothing. He was wearing a maroon full-body rubber suit and aluminum underwear.

Gosh.
I so wish I wasn’t half in the bag right now because I would be able to come up with something better to say other than “Bwahahahah that’s funny!”
Shut up.
It’s 9:47 here.
