Specop, Art Connoisseur

Unread postby Specop_007 » Thu 25 Aug 2005, 18:39:22

Specop would like to share with the group one of his other hobbies. While he comes off as a backwater redneck gun toting conservative, he does have finer qualities.
Specop enjoys a smooth pipe and good book. In fact he has a nice scrimshaw pipe he picked up from the Caribbean.
Specop enjoys a smooth whisky on a cold winters eve.

Specop also enjoys art. Yes, he likes art. Dont tell his friends at the range, they may think he has gone weak.....

He recently picked up a set of 4 limited run signed and numbered prints. Specop would like to share one of them with the group (He just finished framing it after a trip to Hobby Lobby for a frame and backing).

The series is from John Pitre, Commentary on Mankind
John Perti website
He has some really cool paintings. The 4 prints Specop has are below...
Restrictions
Overpopulation
Retribution
Israeli Martyrs

Specop_007 enjoys the trippy Surreal Landscape. A pipe, fine sipping booze, and interesting Art, yes nice. Do you have a smoking jacket?

I_Like_Plants is now really to reveal the terrible truth: Specop is really Bob Dole. I figured it out when Specop starting referring to himself in the third person lol :lol:

MD is beginning to wonder if Specop has blown a gasket or had his password hacked. :-D
Stop filling dumpsters, as much as you possibly can, and everything will get better.

Just think it through.
It's not hard to do.

You have guessed his identity.
You have chosen poorly.
Specop is the *original* inventer of the internet. Mr Gore stole the idea from him.

Specops low level passwords would be tricky to guess.
His high level passwords would be near impossible, unless you bring to bear the power of a Cray to his password.
His password may succumb to the powerof a supercomputer. :shock:

Alas, he has no smoking jacket.

Another fine print Specop desires.... Peter Ellenshaws "Mickeys Dream"

just as he succumbs to the fascination of a dreamy strange Other World painting while sipping his good booze and smoking a pipe with choice aromatic tobacco artfully tamped.

Actually, you could brute force a password in a few hours using a desktop computer, or seconds with a cluster. If you know the length: there's only 126 printing ASCII characters, you just go through every possible combination. If you don't know the length, just keep brute forcing first with a length of 1, then 2, then 3 etc.

Enough of that, interesting collection of pictures. And don't worry, we won't tell the guys at the range. 8)

Seldom says excellent old boy! Seldom never knew Specop was a connoisseur of the fine arts, or aficionado of literary works. Seldom is also impressed by Specop's use of the 3rd person, a sure sign of sophistication and panache.

Seldom always just assumed Specop was a gun crazy backwardass countryfuck. Seldom tips his brandy snifter at Specop.

Specop_007, the brandy snifting connoisseur can even be seen in his glory reflected in the top photo of the aforesaid objet d'art.
