Off Topic Thread!!!

Oh, I see (said the bindman)

Which brings me to my topic of today:

I was in another country once, and had to take a bus into town.
I sat across from a blindman who was playing the guitar.
He wore dark glasses, Stevie Wonder style
He announced he was dedicating a song to the pretty girl across from him.

True story.

Hello? Whats wrong with this picture?????

He did have good taste but blind?:shk:

*Blind people can adapt their remaining senses around their blindness, perhaps you were wearing perfume, however subtle?*

I survived the great blizzard of 1967 (Chicago) *to get back off-topic*

edit = had a better idea

well maybe since the blind man had to feel instead of see...



coincidence, I think not!

New Forum Image Linking Policy


Effective immediately, AboveTopSecret.com is handling inline images differently, the standard BBcode tags are now generating image links.

Due to our massive size and traffic levels, inline image hotlinking of images hosted on lesser websites can end up causing bandwidth issues for the host site. Generally, this is a "grey area" in the world of discussion boards as the BBcode for inline images is pretty much standardized across tens of thousands of sites. But once a board achieves our size, we need to be mindful of the bandwidth strain we might cause other websites, and strive to be good Internet citizens.

Generally, the new rule is simple:

You host it: if you have made arrangements to host the image either through a hosting service, your own website, or your ATS member upload space, you can visually display the image in your post.

A news service hosts it: If the image is owned by a news service, you can display it in a post by using a new tag.

All other images included in posts will now appear as an "external image" link.



The new rules are applied as follows...

LEGACY SUPPORT -- The Standard BBcode Image Tag:
This will generate a large-text "external image" link to the source image if the host site is not in our list of enabled hosts. Use this tag whenever you are in doubt. Enabled host sites currently include: uploads.abovetopsecret.com, photobucket, imageshack, and tinypic. If you favor an alternate free image hosting service, please send me an example URL of an image you have hosted there.

NEWS IMAGERY -- A New BBcode News Image Tag:
This displays the image inline, as well as indicates the source URL of the image. Use this tag for images from accredited news websites only as their sourcing rules generally allow this type of usage. Do not use tag for any other images.

MEMBER HOSTED -- A New ATS Member BBcode Image Tag:
This displays the image inline in the same way the old tag used to. Use this tag only for images for which you have arranged hosting by uploading it to your member upload center, or through any other hosting means you have arranged. Even if your host is in the list of enabled hosts for the tag, we prefer that you use the tag for inline images from this point forward.

Hate is a very strong emotion. I dont hate.

I dislike that you are not following the rules of the thread.

Can you try to be good?

or the will haunt you forever... You dont want that, do you?

Alrighty folks, this thread is getting dangerously close to being 'on-topic'. Back 'off-topic' everyone.....

I feel soo popular
(most off topic yet)

If other members 'be good', they should have no problems here.

Not mentioning any names, so I can remain 'Off Topic'.

Everyone deserves a second chance, btw. So

I finally finished that paper for Organization Behavior. Got sick of writing it, so I may have finished a bit abruptly. What do you think, "In conclusion, that's just the way it is, so there."?

Well my attempt at stopping smoking has hit the floor in a poof of dust . I know i have no will power

I have been afflicted with stomach and esophagus problems for years. Quitting smoking made a tremendous difference in how I felt. I can eat better, gained back the 40 lbs. I lost. But I'm not responding to any particular post. Just saying.
