(The previous day's is pretty funny, too, and apropos.)

That was pretty funny.

You will always find conspiracies there. Open an account and expose them. But careful, they may call you a 'government sheep".

Good stuff! =D>

Couldn't help but add a lawn accessory.

BTW, is there a GLPer named George? Just won-dering... :wink:

[edit/deleted URL to placate the self-appointed attorneys. I wonder how many lawyers have trophy wives named "Sue"?]

I have to admit I was thinking that....

Now that warrants an apology.

It's meant as humour, not as a personal attack. At least my post was. It's not that I don't respect bmpbmp; hence the smiley and wink.

I believe he was talking about the edit of the picture that Maksutov made.

But then again I could always be wrong.

Considering the fact that GJ's post was about 8 hours after my post, and about 6 hours after ToSeek's post, but almost immediately after the creatively onomatopoeic post by Nicolas, and contained a singular reference, then the antecedent appears clear.

All the referenced posts inhabit that wonderful land called "humor", where one must have a sixth "sense".

Thanks, TooSeek. That is a good one.

Dan the Mediocre was correct, I was referring to the sign.

Well, your post wasn't very clear, and usually, without a direct reference, qualitative comments in one post about another post apply to the one preceding. So I take it for you it's OK to poke a little fun at a person's name and not their well-documented "area of interest" (that we're seriously trying to help them with by using science)? :-?

Re any apologies, nah. That was just a very gentle elbow in the side, also known as "nudge, nudge". :wink: :wink: If that's considered something unacceptable, then the future for humor on this board looks rather dim.

Is there an adjustment around here for tweaking the sensitivity setting down just a bit? :-k

Sorry, I suppose I was being something of a jerk. I'll blame that on lack of sleep... #-o

Might I ask about copyright? Is Maksutov's copying of the cartoon in this article fair use? How?

(Apologies in advance if Maksutov is the author of the artwork, or has the author's permission to modify and republish the work. That wasn't clear.)

It seems worth asking, considering junkyardfrog recently got an invitation to leave for reproducing just half of someone else's essay.

See modification to the referenced post. Good thing we have watchdogs around here.



Now to head out to the Oxford Square, where the folks enjoy having a good time, laughing, and consider nitpicking poor form. Plus the food and drink are great!

Note: I was going to post a smilie of Snoopy sleeping on top his dog house, but the above poster would probably turn me in for that.

I suppose that this isn't allowed either. However, I'm sure that Shaw and Minor would understand, so please sing to the the tune of "Bringing in the Sheaves"

Nitpicking in the morning, sowing seeds of uptightness,
Nitpicking in the noontide and the dewy eve;
Waiting for the harvest, and the time of reaping,
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the Nitpicks :wink:

Good one, N C More!

Look out though. 01101001 might take time out from complaining about the "Bad Words" thread and patrolling the board in general, and stop by here again. My Sweet Lord help you then!

Meanwhile, here's a revised version of my original post, designed to meet, to the letter of the law, 01101001's BB standards.

There. The original image was 770 x 578 pixels. The sample from that image is 235 x 185 pixels, just under 10% of the original, and therefore strictly and anally legal. BTW, the sampled area didn't include the sign, so the faint-of-heart need not worry.

Also, I just had to leave in the (slightly-modified) comment on lawyers. Shakespeare had it right all those years ago.


PS: Back in 1906 Charles Ives quoted, in his ground-breaking piece Central Park in the Dark, the famous song Hello Ma Baby, written in 1899 by Joe Howard and Ida Emerson, said song still being under copyright. Perhaps 01101001 should send Ives an admonitory note warning him about the potential consequences of such practices!

George Harrison, meet 01101001. 01101001, meet George Harrison. My sweet lord, he's so fine!
