Vacation Pictures (Pic Heavy)

Post by DPDarkPrimus »

Lots of pictures from my trip down to Atlanta to see Amy (Mayabird).



First of all, I'm sure you all want to see us together.

Image


Here's more or less where her dorm is, where we stayed most of the time.

Image

I did get to go to her house and meet her family, but I'm not sure if her brother wants his picture to be shown off here. :wink:


And here's a nice picture of Amy, sans me.

Image


A cool Mechanical Engineering building.

Image


A work of art known as "The Shaft".

Image


This interesting skyscraper is known as "The Pencil", and can been seen from all around campus. It looks pretty sweet at night, but unfortunately the picture didn't turn out.

Image


I noticed a few of these on campus too. I feel that Georgia Tech has out-geeked their rivals.

Image


Look at all those overpasses. The traffic jams were horrible.

Image


There's some sort of regional resturant called "Waffle House" down in the South. We didn't go to any, but I saw them at just about every rest stop. Sorry about the bad quality pic, it's right inbetween the Arby's and McD sign.

Image


Here I am at The Varsity, a resturant that boasts the "World's Largest Drive-Thru" and onion rings that take a week off your life. Also, one of the employees came out for a smoke break right when the picture got taken. Grr.

Image


We went to a women's basketball game on the 3rd. It was a good game, as far as women's basketball goes. Here's a picture of Amy and the Pep Band. Good luck picking her out of that sea of gold and blue. :P

Image


Seriously.

Image


And finally, a little something for the AYVB.

Image

Enjoy!

I never got the chance to eat at a Waffle House, and so I have no opinion of the food. I just found it's omnipresence to be intriguing.

according to Dateline NBC Waffle House is the most filhy, nasty, unsanitary national restaraunt chain, IIRC.

Nice, now you need to start telling them about all the kinky things you did, you did do kinky stuff right? :D

Soon, the AYVB will love you as almost as much as they love me....

Yes, but according to the movie 'Lady Killers', you can't bring your 'bitch' to the wafflehouse. :P
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

*blushes cutely* Aww. Thanks everybody.

While he may not have ever been to a Waffle House, I have many a time. In fact, I even know the location of the very first one. It's not there anymore. The 1000th Waffle House is built over its location, and I have eaten there a few times, since many of my friends live close to it.

PS I know where I am in that picture of the pep band. :P

I thought the Waffle House was a national phenomenon. Me and my dad took a large cross-country road trip and almost every state we went to had at least one Waffle House.

Strangely enough, each one had the same frumpy looking women with a cigarette and hair-net behind the counter. Cloning perhaps?

"Mortal enemy"?? *snorts* Third-rate competition, perhaps... they about qualify a few points higher than greasy-spoon in my experience, about on a par with Burger King. IHOP is downright classy in comparison, really...
