Many of the #straightdope chat regulars have webcams that they turn on, so that other chat denizens can tune in and drop out. _::rimshot::_ But seriously, it’s a fun idea, and webcams aren’t that expensive anymore… Now that I have a faster computer and DSL, I think it’s time to set up EvilCam®, to give anyone with the IP a glimpse into our lives as we laugh, love, and plan our Big Fab Gay Wedding®. There would, of course, be some more risqué moments. Sometimes Jeremy likes to come out of the bedroom wearing a wrestling singlet… and then there’s the whole kinky leather/BDSM thing we’ve got going on right now. :eek: But most of the time, we just sit around being fabulously gay. 🙂 What say you? A good idea? Would you tune in? Should we take requests? Any suggestions? ---

It depends. Do you fellows intend to perform sexy intercourse in front of it? If so, count me in. ---

I don’t know about full intercourse, but there would probably be nudity, once we got comfortable with the whole webcam concept. ---

Right, we have the USB card (needed it for new printer). Next step is the webcam. Any suggestions? ---

Eh, don’t spend too much. You’re not going to get motion picture quality either way, so check for resolution (the more pixels, the better) and frames per second, and get a good deal within the resolution/frame range you like. Mine cost about €50, although I’m sure they can be had a lot cheaper across the pont. And no, I’m not particularly interested in watching you have intercourse. But don’t let that stop you. 🙂 ---

Oh, that would be $55 or thereabouts. Whatever the hell that is in Canadian, you’ll have to figure out for yourself. ---

OK. Where did I say we’d be fucking on the webcam? And I’m now ruling out nudity aside from the occasional flash. Anything to get **Coldie** to tune in… ---

If “santorum” is now a term for sexual activities, I do NOT want to know what “phelpsing” involves. 😃 And if I could remember how to do IRC via the web again, I might watch. ---

Amateur wrestlers wear them, as apparently do sexy Canadians. I would probably tune in if there were some special occassion but would probably be just as content if you posted some singlet pix. You know, for academic purposes, so **Isabelle** can see what you’re talking about. ---

Yeah, OK, so as soon as I have $100 to spare, I’ll get myself a cam. I’ll let you all know. In the meantime, feel free to continue posting to this thread with programming ideas. 😉 ---
