can you do the same thing with POC's (I mean CZJ's) boobs?

You want blue lightning to come out of CZJ's boobs?

Don't we all?

don't try to lace those boobie woobies with a string of lightning bolts!

I wouldn't dream of it. Now, see- if there was another photo from that photoshoot with her in nearly the same but a slightly different postition? I could use the 2 (or more) photos to make her "move".

ETA: Gaz has a dancing banana. And his avatar's cool, too!  :lol:
nakes? On my plane?

ETA stands for 'Edited to Add'. It's what we do at Fametracker & Television w/o Pity. Habit, I guess.

I don't really know who Zhane is- but like this?:

ETA: OK. So, I just heard Zhane? I know NOTHING about 1993.

here's the thing: to make her move slower, I'd need to add more "frames"- which increases the file size. And our avatars can only be SO big, y'know.

yeah, I know the Grateful Dead are old farts, old dead farts, but as far as lettering, it's hard to believe they would be left out of a list like this.

OMG, you're right.  A grievous oversight indeed.  They wouldn't have trademarked it, would they?
perhaps, but I doubt all the other bands gave permission either.  The Beatles?

Good point.  Hrm.  :?


i found the answer. at least with the thin lizzy font, you can only use the font to type letters that already exist in the logo. so i can type the words, "thin," "hit," "tin," etc. in the thin lizzy font, but any letters that do not appear in the logo do not appear on the screen.

From Slate: Seasoned in the Sun

A couple of quotes from the article:

Quote
However we hear the song—as a heartbreaking suicide note or an unforgivably mawkish tug on our emotions—it remains lodged in the collective cranium. "Strange how potent cheap music is," Noel Coward once remarked.


Quote
James Sullivan is a former critic and reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle. He is currently writing a book on the cultural history of blue jeans.


A cultural history of blue jeans?  We are seriously running out of good ideas for non-fiction.

actually that's a really fascinating subject. Really.  Blue jeans went from being what poor people wore to work... to being what hippies wore as a "statement"... to being what trendoids wore because Calvin Klein's name was on the butt.

The one that's freaking me out right now?  "Everyone who knew me before 9/11 thinks I'm dead."  Much as people fantasize about completely starting over again, new identity and all, I can't fathom anyone actually going through it.

are you assuming all these "secrets" are true?  

Bet somebody in Hollywood takes that idea and tries to pitch it as a TV series...
