All SUVs are evil and should be fed to pit bulls.

Have you ever been in an SUV while it's being driven through several feet of snow? Fun times.

*whispers* Did I kill the thread?

[NicknamedBob]

I think all my witty repartee just sputtered to a stop.

I must be out of gas.

Good Night, folks. I need to tank up with fresh material.

(I wring every nuance of oddity out of any Dream whose misfortune it is to come my way. All that is left is some yellowish powder that I wipe from my eyes in the morning.)

No but I drove mine on ice the other day...hair raising experience! Mine is rather new and it hasn't snowed here yet, just ice!

[missanne]

I know how to scan pics but not how to put them onto FR! I'm going to have to learn!

[tuliptree76]

Good night, Bob!

[missanne]

Posting pics on FR is not that difficult to do. You have to find another site to host the pictures and then link the pictures to FR. Some people use a home page from their internet service provider to host the pictures. One place that will host pictures for free is http://www.imageshack.us

Once you get your pictures up, its just a matter of posting the HTML link on FR. The HTML code is < img src="URL" height=XX> (but don't put a space between the < and img). You replace URL with the url for the picture (keep the quotes), and replace XX with the number for the height of the picture. To find the source and height, you just right click on the picture. You can then cut and paste the source and height.

I suppose I better get some sleep too. Good night!

You should have a friend who has one snap pictures for you some time and download them to your computer. Would be nice for your collection anyway.

That is what I used to do before I got my camera.

[missanne]

Thanks for the info......I'll work on that! There are many pics I have of the Republican Convention both inside and outside that I think people would be interested in!

God Bless,

Advertisers won't like you much.

"Zot" is the sound made by a explosively powerful electrical discharge. Think of Thor, the Norse God of Thunder, casting lightning down and smiting uppity mortals.

In the early days of the internet, (You know, BEFORE Al Gore was VP.) there was the USENET, a "bulletin board" in some ways similar to FR, only it had thousands of treads of all different types, for all different groups of internet users. (The internet was a much smaller, tighet community back then, mostly composed of college nerds and tech professionals.) Early running jokes eventually became computer terms, such as the "Monty Python SPAM song," which gave us the term, "Spam."

One comic thread which was among the most popular in the world was the USENET oracle. People would grovel, and then submit a question to the gods, who would then issue a satirical answer. If the question angered the gods, or did not include sufficent grovelling, or made a reference to a wood chuck*, the "supplicant" would be destroyed by a ZOT cast dwon from the Heavens.

[*The USENET oracle "gods" were actually supposedly an all-knowing, all-powerful and all-logical computer. Occasionally, people would try to ask thoroughly illogical questions to yield an illogical answer. One such question was "How much would would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck would chuck wood?" Thus, any reference to wood chucks were perceived as an attempt to humilate the oracle.]

Good night!

Sleep tight!

Don't let the .... zombies.... bite....

Aw well, you know what I mean!

Take some Holy Water and kick them if they shamble towards you!
