 What is it that lures the misfit towards Leica? Is it the simplistic pre-war German engineering? The sloppy shutter? The snob appeal? Is it that Puts-isms sway the small? Perhaps all of the above with the levitating price as being the catalyst. The allusion of Godliness is a good thing, you know, so the misfit dives straight in buying the ugliest à la carte M available; plus one lens, an Italian made animal skin case, and a hood (rubber or metal). He forgoes the protective filter for he is a purist and there's no need to protect a pricey lens. However, the misfit sees that his pictures are still crap and realizes a professional Leica photographer he is not (even if the body is black). Now at the crossroads he'll either dump the Godly gear and hang out at a McDonalds, or stand still and become a troll, or move onward accepting his new fondling career. Fondling is an adventure of discovery, you know; and determining that older Leicas make better toys, he scours the forums and auction sites looking for pre-historic but pristine Leica gear; and unless he gets kicked in the head or finds Jesus, the misfit will go on for years pacifying his mid-life crises requirements. Gee, the younger ones must be exceptionally odd. Once old age sets in a switch to old Canon gear is the final stretch. Off he goes again scouring the forums and auction sites, if his heart doesn't fail first. It's sad, really, because after all the time wasted his mind and photo skills remain unchanged.
 "The official CameraGAS opening is June 15th, but all ads posted between now and July 15th are FREE. Please take the opportunity to spread the GAS to other forums and friends." Hmmm. It seems that Jorge Terrible has implemented his hate list.
FED adds: "Hey Frank, It won't let you register? Get a free Gmail email account from Google or a free AOL email account and try to register. Or use Frank@therangefinderforum.com. I think Jorge is fucking with you because you told the GASbags what Jorge's wife does for a living. Sports car and home theater forums don't make a man 'macho' if his wife works for a doc who fillets men's sex organs."
Update from FED: "for all the ads he has on CameraGAS, Tony Rose has a ZERO feedback rating. Gandy has a rating of ONE. Much of Jorge Terrible's secret project is strikingly similar to eBay, so I notified EBay's legal department. Yahoo couldn't compete with eBay so they closed their auction site in June 2007. See Here. But the inventor of the especialized machine and RFF's Big Cheese has convinced two retailers in California to start up an auction site for the purpose of dumping their hard-to-sell film camera equipment. I'm beginning to think that Intel could claim ownership to RFF, DSLRexchange and cameraGAS. Jorge created these websites while he was employed with Intel. He most likely had to sign an employment agreement regarding intellectual property. Check out this Evan Brown case. http://www.unixguru.com"
More from FED: CameraGAS is nothing more than a baloney belch. Jorge should stick with websites for transsexuals who want to have their gonads filleted into "neovaginas." DSLRsexCHANGE has a lot of potential. Remember when Jorge Terrible wrote, "In fact Stephen and I are working on a top secret web page that should rock the world. But it's just a pebble now?"
"Rock the world?" How about "stink up the joint?" "Head bartender" needs to clean up his place and quit eating those Cuban bullshit sandwiches. And while he's at it he needs to tell "back door alley" to pull the butt plug out of his ass and get a life. On the other hand, I hope Intel fires their semi-illiterate, Leica worshiping, software engineer who seems to have a lot of free time to dream up these mad schemes.
George from Aplug writes: "the RFFers are all a bunch of retarded camera 'measurebators.' Too bad Gandy has ruined his reputation by hanging out with Nurse Lindsay'a gonad filleting husband. 'Tiny Rose' needs a 'neovagina' too."
 Remember that "Big Cheese" thread on RFF where he calls Photopoo a porn site and then others start calling him retarded for it? Well, like Alpug and the Pnut, RFF is now officially a porn site. And there's even a discussion about it here. RFF's good standing member Socke (Herr Vulgar) brags that his sites are blocked in Dubai---slightly off topic as usual. Soon they'll be writing filth like on this Aplug thread: "I don't have a knife or a gun... all I have is a large penis... I feel so inadequate!" (Penises being interchangeable with poker lenses, knives and guns.) And these forum members wonder why they have so few female members. Doh.
On another thread, Herr Vulgar did post limp-wristedly:"You need a massage! I have some coconut massage oil here if you want to hop over to germany. My GF wouldn't notice before saturday." 
rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35526 - JT changed his username to "solaris10" and replaced his "Admin and Big Cheese" title with "for you to guess." Here's the slob's home office See that black spot on his monitor? That must be the rotten worm-eaten part of his apple or a photo of one of his girlfriends that he doesn't want us to see. Great photo, he got his shoe in the photo at the bottom and his reflection in the window. Here's Jorge slamming Apple. MACs use Intel chips and Jorge works for Intel (or so he boasts).
 "Do you dream about cameras?" wrtes Scott. (Another fine RFF poll.) "Last night I had a dream that when I got to the end of a roll of film in my Canonet, I wound it again and the camera broke apart and was unrepairable. I was distraught. I woke up and thought, gee... maybe I'm thinking about this stuff just a bit too much. Has this happened to anyone else?" Since you asked, well, no. However, I do dream about sex, drugs and rock n roll---and, of course, relaxing by a camp fire with a Teutonic brew in my hand. Having wet dreams about cameras is sick. But thanks for asking.
Joe Rizzuto wants to be a movie star. 
  Moe writes: "a hobby...even though i have thousands tied up in gear and countless hours dedicated to it...photography is only my hobby. with some luck and a good accountant i might be able to convince myself that i have earned as much over the years as i have spent over the years. i can't say that i ever really wanted to or have ever thought of myself as an artist but sometimes i sneak a thought in that maybe if i really tried i might someday be one. i can't say that i ever thought seriously about working for a news paper but i have shot for a couple of art's rags that got me into some funky situations and hanging out with real actors and artists and musicians. and studio work was not for me but i did have a small studio once and there were those summers of wedding work. at 56 i still wonder about being 'discovered', maybe the internet will be the vehicle that will spring my 'work' to the masses. any of this sound familiar?"
Shitrowksi responds: "yes and no. Experience-wise it's familiar, but I'm doing it simply because I like it, with no delusions of being discovered. That's a young man's game and it requires shovelling something smelly. IMO...the Pagan Buddhist. I'm done!"
"Hey Frank, Perhaps the reason moe's not famous is because he's stuck in 'invisible mode and he shoots at 'waist level' (see poo pages). He's a dreamer on a power trip with his RFF moderator control panel. He apparently can't get intimate with women so he gets intimate with an endless procession of cameras and lenses (see the septic tank page). Yes, moe's a big time loser who's already famous for being a compulsive GASbag. ---FED"
 Pristine Leica questions and answers from the Pnut. "From the beginning, please," by uber toby (Eric Milner). "Hi. I'm fed up with my SLR's, I hate being forever asked if I'm a pap each time I pull out the big boys so I want to go to rangefinders, which seem to be a little more pure...I really need to go back to basics. I had a look at other forums but they all seemed a little closed & didn't offer the chance to ask the stupid questions. So here I go...Do I really need an M6 or will one of the older versions M3 etc do as a starter?...Whats with some of the body's I've seen being Leitz? They don't seem so expensive, is the quality a little lower?" Karl Graf responds, "if your interested in a Leica M camera you will have to decide whether you want a built-in light meter, which framelines, and whether you want the smoother brass ball bearings or the harder steel balls." Photopoo's advice: go to RFF where all questions and answers are stupid, especially from the Big Cheese and his dog, Moe.
 build quality by joe rizzuto. "ever get tired of hearing how your camera lacks 'build quality? well, they say, 'it's NOT a leica... great camera but lacks the build quality of a leica... not like a leica' etc. blah, blah blah... i would like to know who here has a degree in 'build quality'? how the ever loving for christmas sakes do YOU know about build quality? do you mean 'it's heavier'? like an anvil might make great pics? it has brass, like an old cannon ball might make great photos? or is that lead? it's heavy too, no? i think people read this crap and just pass it on from one mindless internet thread to another. now, i'm NOT saying anything negative about the build quality of ANY camera here, i'm saying what do YOU know? that the rest of us don't?"
You tell it like it is, Moe. How about posting another one of your poopy poofter pics, or another one of you picking your nose. Err, so what do you know about build quality again?
 These GASbags act like their cameras are jewelry.
Back door alley has paved the way for dorky threads such as this one. The endless stupidity on RFF never ceases to amaze me. Welcome to "ebay lite" home of the $2 classified ad. Sometimes it's more of a cluster fuck, though. You know with those stupid ads that say "bought it from Ralph who bought it from Gabe who bought it from Moe." In fine print it should say "If you experience any problems, contact Moe."
 Did you know that Ralph Melisso from Amston, CT, USA and Joe Rizzuto from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada spend many hours each and every day deleting and editing posts on RFF? Ralph Melisso works for a bank and Joe Rizzuto works for a non profit agency as a social worker. (Do you think their employers know that these two are goofing off playing moderator for Jorge when they’re supposed to be working?) Photopoo would like to send each moderator a big cheese pizza for lunch. If you know where these guys work, write to us at freepizza@therangefinderforum.com. Or, send them an anonymous e-mail with behidden. to say that Bessa is best, Leica is not. Tell 'em about the M8 skinny too. Have you spotted some funny poo on one of those RETARDED camera forums? Feel free to send it to BigCheese or Backdooralley.
 Photopoo is mainly a cut and paste job. With so many camera losers spreading poo, they provide the daily material. All we do is pick and choose from the crap, the dumbest of the dumb---tasking for sure---and post it here for your reading enjoyment, along with commentary and golden tidbits of info. There you have it. Have a good one and do go on for the latest. Whats new? Here's something: Why Jorge Torralba, software engineer, hates me ...& this.
