I don't think any of the guys did. Heck, I just realized it was for hockey and not basketball (like it matters).

So long as you make the Justin Guarini one a bit bigger, I've got no problem with it.

Actually, I'm onto a new page now, so forget it.

Well holy shit Zak, how the hell are you?

Just peachy...thanks for asking. Actually am studying (or should be) for the bar at the moment. I give myself even odds on passing...But anyway, posting will be sporadic for obvious reasons. Just wanted to check in and see the new place (while I don't know all the details of why you all left--been out of the loop forever--this site looks great).

What's this "reformed version" shit in your title? We need the "sex stories" version (and your critics be damned).

Alas, no sex stories. Seasons change. Decided I wanted to live to see 30. MR, I am sure you will find me perfectly boring these days, but hopefully somewhat palatable.

Still think that Roger Dodger was an utterly miserable movie--real or not. Opening scene was great, but it was all downhill from there.

Yeah, the good news is I can't even remember the guy's name. Rick something I believe. Rob Campos just needs to ride out the 15 minutes and someday he'll just be the JAG groper dude.

Yes. I for one was pondering the cruel fact that even for women as beautiful as Ashley and Charlize, the choice comes down to making either one's calves or one's ankles look better in a photo, because obviously one cannot do both.

Thank god that sucking in one's tummy does not cause one's ass to puff out -- that could drive a person (not me, of course) to despair.

This link should tell you how to resize pictures. It deals with avatars, specifically, but the instructions will work for any picture you want to post.

Image Resizing Tutorial

Earlier in this thread, you said that images inside the post could be 300k. Is that still accurate?

However, Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly, and Frankie Sinister did a musical remake (called "High Society") that I absolutely hated. Bing was too old for Grace, Grace did a bad Hepburn impersonation, and Frank didn't sing enough (although he and Bing did have a duet that was wonderful -- can't remember the title, but it was something like "have you heard" or "what a swell party this is"). And Louie Armstrong and his band play some good tunes, too.

"High Society" will go down in history as a great crime perpetrated against Cole Porter. Porter didn't translate well to movies, but there's no excuse for "High Society," given the talent that was available at the time.

The song you're thinking of was "Well, Did You Evah," and it was indeed one of the only bright spots.

Competing for "low spot" would be the completely flat "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" number, Bing trading fours with Louis Armstrong on a tune that purported to be about jazz but seemed not to have been influenced by the art form of the same name, and a rather maudlin Bing rendition of "True Love." Oh, and the long stretches of acting between the musical numbers.

I've just recalled that the Bing/Armstrong number was entitled "Now You Has Jazz," which pretty much sums up everything that's wrong with Bing singing with Armstrong.

Rick Rockwell.

For those of you who grew up in San Diego in the mid 1980s, you may remember a comedy program on Channel 8 called "San Diego at Large"

One of Larry Himmell's skits was Biff and Skippy. Mr. Rockwell was Skippy.

If you've never seen the show, or aren't from southern california, you won't understand it, at all.

I think I said 300 pixels, but I'm too lazy to go back and look. At any rate, file size isn't as important as pixel dimensions and 300 pixels wide is plenty big.

I will take what I wrote in that avatar resizing faq and turn it into a separate FAQ on image resizing in general (when I get a chance).

Funny. I'll probably get shit for this, and I know that the guy is an ass, but I kind of felt for the guy when his law firm (affiliation, whatever) dumped him within a day of his JAG dirty laundry being aired and his boot removal/hot tub debacle show. Bet he had a bad week last week! Here the guy thought he was Bachelor cool and now he is coming across as the biggest heel since Darva Conger's ex. Just goes to show that reality tv has the ability to bite people in the ass. And if you have a big secret, like having been dishonorably removed from the JAG corps, don't do a reality show.

Fame. Ain't it a bitch.

He'll be okay. He's pretty, so if he can't get another legal job, he can always--assuming he keeps his mouth shut so he doesn't wreck things by speaking and has the requisite skill set--be a man-ho.

*edited to add, "shut", etc.

And I will again say that I seriously doubt that every actress with puffy cheeks has some sort of eating disorder.

No kidding. Puffy cheeked vixens Oprah, Kirstie Alley, and Rosie O'Donnell seem to have no problem keeping food down.

Oh, sorry, you did say pixels.

Guess we all know why I am not the picture resizing guru . . .

Thanks, M_R.

Am I the only one wondering why they're playing hockey at midnight? (Except for that 10 pm match with Louisville, that is.)
