Random Stock Interview...It Could Be You

This time I bring to you stock senior shelldevil, and of course right along with her I pull in Helly-stock. Gotta love them! (Note: My beloved CoRayBee takes the prize for best 911 call impression!)

02:07:50 am <lyastri> Ladies and Germs, we welcome you to this second installment of Random Stock Interview... It Could Be You! Tonight we bring you the lickalicious shelldevil, stocker of fun and nuttiness and other things I won't mention cause my mind is in the gutter. So tell me Shell m'dear, how long have you been stocking now?
02:07:55 am <CoRayBee> LawrenceDeDark: Would this be a delicate time to point out the whole "your/you're" thing to her?
02:08:12 am <shelldevil>
02:08:22 am <LawrenceDeDark> CoRayBee: hrm... I can edit it
02:08:30 am <shelldevil> talk about springing it on me lyastri!
02:08:37 am <helly7307-stock> haha @ shelldevil
02:08:46 am <shelldevil> I have been stocking for 4 years this month
02:08:59 am * lyastri nods, cause it is random! That's what makes it fun. And be warned all, she'll not be editing this before posting it!
02:09:03 am <shelldevil> wait... are you recording this?
02:09:10 am <lyastri>
02:09:12 am <shelldevil>
02:09:32 am <LawrenceDeDark> :shelock:
02:09:35 am <LawrenceDeDark> shit
02:09:40 am <LawrenceDeDark>
02:09:46 am <lyastri> shelldevil: That's a goodly long time. I'm going to guess you like it. So, in your years of stocking goodness, what's been the strangest shoot you've ever done?
02:09:48 am * helly7307-stock wishes she had been in a stocking for 4 yrs not jst been doing stock
02:09:56 am <lyastri>
02:11:41 am <shelldevil> lyastri: The strangest... would be the warior woman ones, have you ever tried running bout in doc's... with no socks on, screaming like a madwoman, weilding a kids totem soccer pole above your head and wondering when the people next door will eventually yell at you to shut up over the fence
02:13:20 am <shelldevil> I guess im lucky the people on one side never seem to be home, and the others are so old they probably cant hear anyhows
02:13:36 am <lyastri> shelldevil: Oh I wish I could have been there to see that one! There must be love for the things stockers will do to bring the community such a fabulous variety of stocky goodness! Have you ever injured yourself in the attempt to get a shot?

02:14:42 am <CoRayBee> "Hello, 911..state the nature of your emergency." "Well, it's the oddest thing. I think my neighbor has gone mad, and the worst bit is that her husband is taking pictures of it."
02:14:53 am <lyastri>
02:15:12 am <shelldevil> lyastri: Oh for sure, fell of logs, blisters, poked with a stick, poked with pins, falled down muddy banks in the rain... Once ashy-stock and myself got harassed by a mass swarm of wasps
02:15:55 am ** exsandohs1 has joined
02:15:55 am <arstockbot>
02:16:11 am <shelldevil> fallen* not falled
02:16:36 am ** exsandohs1 has left [connection closed]
02:17:07 am <lyastri> shelldevil: OH MAI! How many hours in a week do you, and since she's here let's get an answer from ze nummy helly7307-stock too, spend making faces in the mirror? And if you don't do that, then lie to me so my delusion isn't spoiled. >
02:17:57 am <helly7307-stock> haha i always make funny faces i jst walk past a mirror n pull em or if im on webcam i'll sit there pulling faces
02:18:14 am * lyastri knew it!
02:18:15 am <shelldevil> lyastri: erm.... well i barely look in the mirror OH OH UM... why yes! I do it for hours all day every day, im a mirror whore
02:18:51 am <helly7307-stock> i do the typical man thing in the mirror n hold my nose up serching for nose hairs to pull
02:19:03 am <shelldevil> honestly tho, i brush my hair in the morning and then thats about it, i dont look in a mirror untill the next morning
02:19:25 am <lyastri> shelldevil: You are love, Helly is love. Okay, on to seriousish questions (As if I can ever be completely serious!) How many cameras have you worn out in the name of stock, and what would be your one piece of advice for a beginning stocker?
02:19:45 am * lyastri wants that one on film helly7307-stock!
02:20:03 am <helly7307-stock>
02:20:03 am <helly7307-stock>
02:21:03 am * the-pearl-piper is back
02:22:24 am <shelldevil> lyastri: Well... i started with a 2mp kodak crapola That was the first thing we had between the three of us. Then I upgraded to a 4mp when i started getting serious. That still wasnt doing the job and i wasnt impressed with the quality. In the meantime both ashy and helly got pretty decent cameras so I just used theirs for quite a while untill recently when i upgraded yet again to my fugi s5700 Its funny to think that if i had never started stock, i would probably be popping out family snaps on the old 2.
02:23:39 am <shelldevil> lyastri: as for advice.... apart from the obvious check the rules/regs/ect, just to have fun. Because theres no point trying to do something if your not enjoying every bit of it
02:25:29 am <shelldevil> _{and to not use webcams!}
02:26:12 am <lyastri> shelldevil: Well you certainly have a lovely family for snapping, cause yes your girls are absolutely darling! And that's good solid advice, it's definitely something that should be enjoyed, I agree wholeheartedly. One last question for you, then I shall attack the whole room with one, which clay wrestler is your favorite?
02:26:42 am <shelldevil> Clay wrestler?
02:26:49 am <lyastri>
02:26:57 am <CoRayBee> lyastri: you nut
02:26:58 am <shelldevil> no im dead serious... please explain

02:27:42 am * shelldevil runs off to google

02:27:57 am <CoRayBee> Ah, the random feeding of randomness...

02:28:28 am * ooKKaaMMii feeds CoRayBee funnel cake
02:28:32 am <lyastri> While Shell researches, I pose a question to the whole room! What would be your fantasy of the perfect stock shoot you'd like to see LawrenceDeDark do?
