Focus, Ted. Focus. Try and keep up.

For faster focusing, he'd need a K-3 - but it has that darned Ricoh logo...

Reading that makes me feel dirty…. oh wait, that's because I haven't had my shower yet today.. OK, cancel that thought..

Has anyone ever tried using cheese instead of soap?

If you really do/do not like the Ricoh logo, I've heard there's a Fix-it-Up Chappie named Sylvester McMonkey McBean who will remove/add it for a small fee.

But you can't teach a Sneetch.

Re Parallex at 10:07 yesterday: are you excluded from this thread if you do not like cheese AND believe if it looks like a Pentax and feels like a Pentax and the quality is Pentax then it does not matter who the publisher is?

Not at all, as long as you don't stray too close to being on topic.

It certainly was hard to focus on the "Ricoh" on the melted cheese.

Should I try to focus on the "Ricoh" on a K-3? Who can send me their K-3 so that I can learn to focus on it? Shouldn't take more than 6 months to a year.

Thanks to anyone who can support me in my focusing effort. I'll reimburse you any reasonable shipping cost, if the Ricoh focusing is effective enough.

PS: should I apply the melted cheese to the K-3?

PPS: oops. I forgot - I ate the cheese sandwich.

Some day a Ph.D candidate in Sociology, Psychology or Cultural Anthropology is going to write and defend a dissertation entirely on this thread.

By then someone will offer a degree in Cheese Science, so we might get in that door as well.

Getting too heavy on cheese, need to re-focus on pork and not just on bacon. A simple pork burger, sriracha sauce and sauteed onions yum...
