A thank you to my awesome HAF friends

[Sweetdeath]

It's the titanic! I see the ship. 

EEEEEE!!  I see it now, too! Good eye, Budhorse4!

*loves her spoon all the more now!* WOW that's amazing spoonwork!!

I saw the smoke stacks first, then I was like, 'Wait a minute, didn't the Titanic have four smoke stacks?'

Your eyesight's better than mine! Then again, I'm nearsighted in one eye and farsighted in the other, so... 

And the Titanic sure did have four stacks, 3 were smokestacks, and the fourth was a dummy stack, added both for the 'grandeur' factor, and to give the shipbuilders a handy place to store air vents and a fireman's ladder, as well as it being a chimney flue for the smoke to come out of the First class smoking room. Oh, and some deck chair storage close to the base of the 4th one.

Woo, history being learned at HAF

I think this year is the 100th anniversary of the Titanic. Can you believe it??

Oh, I can believe a hundred years have passed. I see all the documentaries, e-books, print books, magazine coverage etc. The sinking of the Titanic is thoroughly commercialized to the hilt this year. A few years back, I briefly considered writing a book and having it published this month -- and then I realized that it'd be me, and several hundred others taking a crack at the same thing.

Yea it is. I've loved the Titanic since I was very little. I would watch every documentary and read everything that I could on it. Never been interested in boats, but this one caught my eye for some reason. I would love to go down in a submarine and see it.

I've always loved boats and ships, but otherwise... Same. I've read every non-fiction book in print that I've been able to find, everything from eyewitness accounts to the legal trials after the sinking to passenger diaries. It's been a lifelong fascination of mine, and I'd give my right arm to go down on a dive expedition and see it.

I can still remember the first time I watched Robert Ballard go down there in that tiny sub. I was blown away.

I see it now too.  What's the significance?

Edited to add: I should have read ahead.  Never mind the question.

BCE, what image if any is on your spoon? I can't make anything out.

Wow, a thousand posts. I want a thousand too! WAAAH!

You'll get there soon enough.

[Tank]

Also, thanks for the spoon! 

Amicale, you are a joy to have around.  And is there a picture in the middle of your spoon?  I think I see something but I'm not sure.

*whispers* I believe there is a picture, but I don't know what it is...  but I still LOVE it!

And it's a JOY to be here!

It's a ship, the Titanic by the look of it.

Control + will zoom most browsers, you just hold control and keep hitting +
Control - zooms it out again.

A HAF spoon sitting in the silt with the Titanic wreck in the background will probably remain a mere mental image of mine.

Nothing, as far as I can tell -- it's just a nice, shiny spoon.  I think the spoons with the bowls pointing right are the only ones that have pictures.

It IS a nice, shiny spoon. 

On the other hand, there's something to be said for you having a cat face on your spoon.

I checked, my spoon is the same. That's okay, we're "HAF spoon classic".
