Here's how it works:<br><br>1) We start with a word.<br><br>2) Go to Google Image Search and do a search for that word. Hopefully you get all kinds of interesting/weird/fun results!<br><br>3) Post one of those images ... can be one that's especially unlike the word, unusual, weird, pretty, whatever you like ... probably best to avoid anything toooo huge. I guess nothing toooo naughty here.<br><br>4) The person who posts an image picks the next word.<br><br>If two people post a pic for the same word at about the same time, the next word should be the one named by whoever posted first, but sometimes words get lost in the shuffle, it's all good.<br><br>To post an Image: Click "See Full Size image" after your Google Image search. Copy the address of the the pic (the URL) -- you can also click your right mouse button and click "copy image location" to do this.<br><br>Then copy the picture into image tags<br>[img] [/img] spell image out in both tags I know most of you know this<br><br>Sometimes images won't go to full screen ... links will be dead, etc. Sometimes you can't "borrow" images ...<br><br>I recommend previewing your post when posting something with a pic to make sure it will show up ... they can be a tad unpredictible.<br><br>But despite all this verbiage, it is not hard and:<br><br>This is a fun game!!<br><br>Starting us off: <br>Angels: <br>[image]http://www.bltc.com/apes-angels.jpg[/img]<br><br>Next word<br><br>Juice<br><br><br><br>oh yeah, that's going in the blog

<br><br>circle<br><br>[That image of Sean's reminded me of my surprise, to put it mildly, when I did an image search for "squirt," which is what I wanted to put up in response to "social" somewhere up above. Don't Google "squirt" unless you're ready for some pretty solid porn.]<br><br>

i keep restarting it because we get dangerously close to messing up the way i view the forum. <br><br><img src="http://homepage.mac.com/jayhawk/.Pictures/wide_2_mm.jpg" width="1072" height="445" alt="wide MM"/><br><br>perhaps i should drop some huge MB photos into this thread. <br><br>--<br>"I am mindful that diversity is one of the strengths of the country" --president bush on 9/27/05
Duh. Bigger's word was "acid." <br><br>Or all y'all just sorta lost in the thread? Needles in a headstack? <br><br><br><br><br><br>[color:blue] Talk about things and nobody cares . . .</font color=blue>

here was the response to "acid" well before your post: <a href="http://www.macminute.com/cgi-bin/wwwthreads/showthreaded.pl?Cat=&Board=lounge&Number=312934&page=0&view=expanded&sb=5&o=0&vc=1">link here</a> -- in fact, it's a similar image to the one you chose after we'd moved on. <br><br>--<br>"I am mindful that diversity is one of the strengths of the country" --president bush on 9/27/05
Y'all are rubber, I'm glue, my Duh bounced back and stuck . . . crap, I can't even get that right. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br>[color:blue] Talk about things and nobody cares . . .</font color=blue>

i have imagewell, but i thought we were to post from Google images; not our own servers. i have my preferences set to large images. even on my widescreen display, it's annoyingly large -- excruciatingly so on my laptop. i hate scrolling right, but the images were just too powerful to pass up. they made this thread, fwiw. it's my artistic expression.<br><br>--<br>"I am mindful that diversity is one of the strengths of the country" --president bush on 9/27/05

Not completely. Just have a lot going on. I check in every day. You guys are still my home page. Rick has been on medical leave since October and they may retrain him but right now he is not in good enough shape. He hoped to go back where he worked on something lighter but in mid-December the whole community was rocked by the mine shutting down. It appears the disc he has had surgery on twice to repair is no longer worth a [censored] and he may have to have his back fused. We are dealing with the fact he may never be able to work. Our spirits are good but I'm not posting anywhere quite as much. Hijack over let the game continue. I have enjoyed seeing what everyone has been digging up.<br><br>adjustment:<br><br><br>juju beans<br><br>oh yeah, that's going in the blog

Sorry to hear about the husband iRock. My best friend has a similar problem due to a degenerative disc and is just now trying to wade through any possible re-training. He has been off for nearly two years and it has only gotten worse<br><br><br><br><br>pole<br><br><br><br>_______<br>
