When Cucumbers and 69 Meet

Boy oh boy do these look tasty! These would make for some great pickles.

Submitted by White Jeff Sheldon.

oh!

2009-11-16T19:40:00.000-08:00

so it turns out you can update blogger via email! this means i will be updating much more frequently. i'm not on a computer nearly as much as i used to be, for better or for worse, so the nature of 69 seemed to suffer. now, i will be updating on the go! i mean, it IS 2009. keep the submissions coming...i know i've seen some great ones.

It sure has been a while...

2009-11-16T19:37:00.001-08:00

But here is a great one from the great one (Alejandro).

License to 420

2009-08-07T17:23:00.000-07:00

It's still Friday in the US right?
I spotted this license plate last night on my way back from dinner.

The perfect addition to your favorite room in the house. Found by yours truly in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan.

4/20 Fridays - A Day Late

2009-07-11T18:21:00.000-07:00

Congratulations on being a great student, Alejandro! You really aced this one.

Next time you might have better luck guessing "c" on every question.

Best Game Ever

2009-07-10T09:19:00.000-07:00

This almost beats the time I went to a Phillies game last year when the score was 4-20.

Friends: Quantity not Quality

2009-07-09T12:04:00.000-07:00

Spotted by Mimi Gallagher. I'm still backed up on past submissions so bear with me! Thanks, Mimi!

You need a ripe banana to 69

2009-07-08T12:25:00.000-07:00

This was submitted by Alejandro. There's nothing more I could ask for on a hot summer day than a ripe....golden...banana. What a steal!

The Return of 69

2009-07-08T12:16:00.001-07:00

To all my 69 followers,

I have received several emails regarding the lack of activity on this blog. First and foremost, I would like to apologize for my laziness and for breaking my promise of keeping up this website. It was unfair of me to keep you waiting. My intentions of this blog were to bring happiness to people by posting with regularity and I hate to admit that I failed.

I am officially starting this blog back up again. Although I have been busy lately, there is no reason that I cannot blog. Tell your friends. Send me your submissions. And keep your eyes peeled.

And to Sean, the only other person I trust to contribute to the Nature of 69, thank you for helping out. I hope this can be our link to stay together since your move.

Thanks for your support.

Let's All Bother Tommy

2009-06-23T13:31:00.001-07:00

As you may have noticed, The Nature of 69 has been suffering from a severe lack of posts. This is undoubtedly the fault of Tommy. He has a bunch of user submitted photos and is too lazy to post them. I suggest you email him yourself (his address is in the sidebar) and bug him about it, and until this problem gets solved, feel free to email me your submissions at 69sofine@temple.edu. Peace, love, and 69.

Happy Birthday to Me

2009-05-04T07:12:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, May 3, was my birthday. My brother and his fiance knew exactly what would spice up my birthday cake, despite the fact I'm only turning 22. Best birthday cake ever.

When the Spring Fling festival happened on Temple University, some lucky person got to set up their booth at space #69.

Dude...wha? It's 4/20! Duuuude.

2009-04-20T11:14:00.000-07:00

What a late start for posting in April. But what better day to bring you photos than on 4/20. Weather forecast: cloudy. Awww shit.

Tommy hates this cookie truck. But they have one of the best flyers around. I wonder if he will change his mind.

Parking: Legalize it.

Double Whammy!

2009-03-26T21:04:00.000-07:00

This post contains both a 69 picture AND a 420 picture. Perfect for 420 Fridays. Anyway, here are two pictures I took in the locker room. You'd be surprised at the weird looks you get while trying to snap a few photos in a mens locker room - odd, really.

He didn't hit another pin the rest of the game

2009-03-23T18:36:00.001-07:00

This was a photo that I took at North Bowl in Northern Liberties. The credited bowler is the Nature of 69's very good pal, Mike Sneeringer. Good dude, even better bowler. Check out his score under the name "Stix".

420 Fridays!

2009-03-19T23:40:00.000-07:00

Matt Scottoline submitted this. He knew 420 water was my favorite way to hydrate.

There's going to be a lot of this soon enough!

2009-03-19T17:52:00.000-07:00

Well, the weather is getting nice and that means a few things. Most importantly, you're thermostat will probably read this pretty often:

I was in Chinatown in New York last week and I must have stumbled upon 69 heaven. Can you count how many 69s are in this photo?

Dressed To The 69s

2009-03-15T11:56:00.000-07:00

My name is Sean and this is my first post as an official contributor to the Nature of 69 blog. I love 69.

This is a photo of a T-shirt tag taken at the UNIQLO store in Manhattan. I think I have a new favorite color.

Lady Linda 69s

2009-03-09T15:43:00.001-07:00

What can I say? Sean Barrett is the best.

Very Emergency

2009-03-09T15:36:00.000-07:00

This was located by Lori on an emergency call box at her work. Great job.

this ain't no crime if you ask me! submitted by Rob, however, the offense is ticketed to Tim. FREE TIM SMITH!

69in and Smilin

2009-03-02T19:19:00.000-08:00

This photo currently has the number 1 spot in my heart. Submitted by a Adam Smith and Mike Sneeringer, this is truly an amazing find.

The last of last weeks posts

2009-03-01T10:00:00.000-08:00

Molly who works at Specialized bikes submitted this one. Check out the P.O.#.

Long time reader, first time submitter

2009-03-01T09:56:00.000-08:00

Joshua Erickson spotted this baby. I don't think that Easy Corner should add anymore friends on myspace. Who needs more than 69?

Last Weeks 4:20 Friday

2009-03-01T09:54:00.000-08:00

Robby D gets credit again for this one. Found at a house in West Philadelphia. 4:20 Friday for 2/2/09.

Catching up on things - The Road to 69

2009-03-01T09:52:00.000-08:00

Another Sean Barrett original. Found on his way to Ottawa I should give this guy a password or something.

Score one for Catholicism!

2009-03-01T09:50:00.000-08:00

Another back dated post. I'm still catching up here after a week off! Submitted by Rob DeCarolis.

July 6th, 2007 - OG 69

2009-03-01T09:47:00.000-08:00

Sean Barrett is on the ball. Here is another image he submitted. A throwback.

sorry about the lack of updates.

2009-02-25T16:57:00.000-08:00

hey guys,

i've been extremely sick the past 5 days. i haven't really gotten out of bed or done anything productive. i have an overwhelming amount of submissions that I need to catch up on. tomorrow, there will be a big post backdating all the posts i've missed.

get money. get paid.

50 signs why 69 is the best number

2009-02-19T11:31:00.000-08:00

Lori was kind enough to send me another submission. She's got some really great eyes for 69ing. There are definitely way more than 50 signs why 69 rules. Stay tuned.

the only news i care about

2009-02-18T11:04:00.000-08:00

Once again, this was submitted by my good friend Adam Smith. As some of you may know, I'm majoring in Broadcasting and Communications, so of course, this is the station I'd kill to work for. Just think of the possibilities!

Talking with Rachel via Google Chat

2009-02-17T12:54:00.000-08:00

i don't care that this isn't a picture post. this made me laugh so long and hard (ew?). rachel is my favorite person to talk to and here is why:

me: a/s/l?
Rachel: 69/please/heaven

The Aisle (isle) of 69

2009-02-17T09:01:00.000-08:00

So I know this photo is actually of ASILE 69 but I really wish it was of ISLE 69. Wouldn't that be the greatest vacation spot? Anyway, this was found in the Kardon Warehouse at the Urban Archives.

I am the 69

2009-02-16T20:23:00.000-08:00

Over the weekend, my band played with I am the Avalanche. Brendan McHugh was lucky enough to point this one out to me. This is the bassist of I am the Avalanche's bass amp. Pretty sweet right? Apparently, they like the number 69 as much as I do.

The Keys to my Heart

2009-02-13T11:48:00.001-08:00

This is from Peter and Sean Barrett. They were studying abroad in Japan for a semester. You can't wear shoes in certain buildings there so they have these shoe lockers. They let Peter and Sean pick their own lockers so Peter picked locker 420 and Barrett picked locker 69. This is a photograph of their locker keys.

What a coinkydink!

2009-02-11T12:08:00.000-08:00

Lori actually found this sweet find while browsing my blog. It's pretty ironic...don't you think? I also hear that Alanis Morrisette loves to 69 with Dave Coulier. Confirm/deny?

When I grow up, I want to be an Astrologist

2009-02-10T08:22:00.000-08:00

I don't know how this one never came up before, considering I, myself, am a Cancer. But here it is. Sent in by Adam Smith, this photo was taken from the horoscope section of a magazine.

Hey ladies, keep this in mind (taken from Yahoo! answers)

"im a cancer and i like to read alot about astrology. Cancers are supposed to get along with pisces, virgos, taurus and scorpios. They dont get along much with libra, aries and sometimes bump heads with sagitarious and aquarious. Which i believe, cuz my best friends are virgos and pisces"

2009-02-09T10:56:00.000-08:00

Rob DeCarolis was able to get an amazing score of 69 during a game of Scrabble. Wait! The game isn't over! Hopefully he can reach 420.

420 Fridays!

2009-02-06T23:29:00.000-08:00

Hopefully this waitress made enough from this meal to BLAZE hard with Michael Phelps. Thanks Matt.

Junior 69

2009-02-05T09:06:00.000-08:00

Mr. Robert Stipa was kind enough to e-mail me this photo. Wawa not only offers a great place for drink, snack, and hoag, but also a great place for 69. Bob actually didn't even eat this junior hoag; Instead, he gave it to me to put in my 69 collection - what a guy.

me and justin 69

2009-02-04T10:59:00.000-08:00

This photo was submitted by Rachel. She's a HUGE 69 fan and probably one of the 3 people that actually follow this blog. I had some other pictures lined up before this one but I couldn't take her nagging anymore: "hey so is my epic email going on there or what".

I must say, she did give me quite the "laugh out loud" experience when I got this email during lunch. I still don't know what's more impressive, the fact that Rachel had an email conversation with 69 responses or that she actually made me laugh!

69'n Pizza

2009-02-03T12:20:00.000-08:00

So I'm not really sure how Ellios can have 6-9 slices, but I'm not complaining. Fun Fact: Whenever I put slices of leftover pizza in the toaster oven, I always lay them tip-to-crust - or as I like to call it - figure 69.

We updated our prices at the Trophy Bike Garage

2009-02-02T10:35:00.000-08:00

So it's 2009 and everything needs a little re-working. The economy is in the shitter and the price of cheese has gone up. At the Trophy Bike Garage, we also needed to make a few changes. The price of a full tune-up is $69. Pretty good deal right?

Fully 69

2009-01-31T12:36:00.000-08:00

This photo was a submission from Noel, and I must say it's one of my favorites. This photo is so subtle yet so perfect. I can't really say much more. Thank you so much, Noel!

4:20 Fridays!

2009-01-30T11:07:00.000-08:00

Okay, okay, okay. I know what you're thinking - this post has nothing to do with 69 - and you're right. It does, however, have something to do with another hilarious number - 420.

Over the past few days I have noticed pure acts of genius graffiti. Someone has taken the liberty of tagging 420 all over Temple's campus. I'd really like to meet this person. Maybe I'll write a missed connection and get an interview.

The perfect XXXmas gift:

2009-01-30T11:01:00.000-08:00

This photo was taken in an ACME on December 27th in Pennsville, NJ. The only way to get rid of old Christmas stuff is to make it a price everyone can relate to. As if the number 69 isn't funny enough, they had to CIRCLE it.

mile 69,999 is always the hardest

2009-01-29T14:04:00.000-08:00

This photo was sent in by Matt Scottoline. He's a great friend of mine and is one of the only people I know that can be almost as funny as myself. Great job.

Never Forget: Ground....69?!

2009-01-29T12:56:00.000-08:00

This photo was taken at Ground Zero (here on referred to as Ground 69) on January 2nd, 2009. I'm not really sure what this 69 is referring to but this photo reminds me of my two favorite things: 69 and America.

My favorite temperature: 69

2009-01-29T12:50:00.000-08:00

This photo was taken on December 28th in Baltimore, MD. Quite a warm day for December, huh? I guess luck was on my side for this one.

the art of 69

2009-01-29T12:45:00.000-08:00

So I started this blog to keep track of the most beautiful number known to man - 69. Every so often I'll post different 69's I've found in nature. Feel free to submit your own.
