While I know you're just doing this because you love to pick on me; I disagree with you. There are degrees of "memorability" (I know, that's not a word.)
Some things are more memorable than others. "Very perfect" doesn't make sense, because one thing can't be "more perfect" than another.

OK, now both PP's avatar and the picture I posted are both working, and The Dude's House logo is gone, gone, gone. Note to self -- no more hallucingens at work. The added efficiencies are not worth the stress.

Aaah, it's back. OK, someone is just fucking with me. I hope.
I had the same exact problem, and I had the same problem with someone else's geocities hosted avatar. Once I went to the host site and loaded the picture from there, my avatar problems went away.
Originally, when Paigow was saying that her avatar was Maude Lebowski, and I all I saw was the compressed banner ad, I figured that it was one of those nude abstract paintings or something.Back to top

I think that the host site is preventing you from using the image on another (i.e. this) site. The compression is working on the banner ad that the host site sends, not on the picture.
If you right click on the picture, you can save it to your hard drive, then you can upload it to a hosting site (don't use yahoo or any of the geocities sites, because they'll cause similar problems), and you'll be able to keep the photo as is. Alternatively, you may want to look around the net a little and see if you can find the same photo on another site, and just use that link instead.
Right now, I'm seeing the CD cover / abstract painting / shrunken banner ad version of your avatar.

While I completely do not understand your post, I do notice that Maude's eyebrows appear to be uneven.
On my screen, your avatar usually appears to be a compressed version of a banner from the site where you found that picture. To see the picture, I had to right-click on the avatar and select "Properties" and then paste the url of .jpg file into my browser.
I say usually because after I posted, it initially appeared the way it usually does. Then, when I reloaded the page, I saw the Maude picture all over -- your avatar, the image I posted, etc. But then I reloaded again and I was back to the banner. Which I can't find anywhere on that site, BTW.
I know at least someone else on the board has this problem because someone made a reference to it the other day.
T. (I feel like Oedipa Maas. Genghis Cohen and John Nefastis are going to appear any moment now.) S.
I had the same problem, so it's not just you Ty. I think the Dude site is generating image names on the fly out of a database (I won't even pretend I know how or why one would do this). Since everyone's browser will only go check for a new version of a file (including an image) every so often unless you tell it otherwise (by reloading a page, for example), whatever image happened to be served up by the Dude's page is what showed up as PP's avatar, and the image wouldn't change. She should save a copy to another server (I think there were some suggested in the help section) and use that url to make sure that the correct image is associated. Or she can just be a random smudge to half the people.Back to top

Has anyone been watching Da Ali G show on HBO? Fucking hilarious.
How does he get interviews with Gingrich, Forbes, Trump, Boutros Boutros Boutros Gali, etc. Why do they answer all of his stupid questions?
During the follow-up question to "Do you think there will ever be a female President?" he asked Newt, "But don't you think America will be weak when someone declares war against the bitch and she starts crying?"
He pushes and pushes these people and they never get up and just leave (except Trump).
His idea for a business idea that he shopped to various CEOs was hilarious. How could they sit there and entertain the idea for an Ice Cream Cone glove "to keep it from drippin' on ya hand."
He then gave examples of how much money it would make. He placed the commas randomly in the numbers so it looked like this in his presentation:
Profits: $189,0456,56432

My dear, the difference between Wally Lamb is that he is self important despite the fact that he is a schlockster, where as the great Ms Susann (whose third book was a huge disappointment btw) was selfimportnat bc she was a schlockster. She knew schlock, she loved schlock and she lived schlock. Lamb eschews the schlock that he creates. Spare me.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know you all have already dissected last night's AI, but I also know that you've been just dying to read what I have to say. Right? Ha.
Kimberly Locke: this type of song just did not suit her voice. Having all the songs by the same guy disadvantaged some singers, and Kim L. was one of them. She did look about 100 times better than previous performances--her hair wasn't pulled back so tight it made her forehead skin shiny, and her outfit displayed her assets (hello, I had no idea they were so HUGE) instead of just showing off her back fat and her dimply ass. I hope she sticks around for a couple more rounds, because I do think she has a good voice, and she is comfortable on stage.
Josh Gracin: Not good. He made Motown sound country. Yeah, pushups, whatever, you still have a spare tire and your face looks a little like the missing link.
Charles Grigsby: Waste of time. Unsuccessfully tried to cover his extreme nervousness with incessant bopping up and down. Held notes were mostly on pitch but all the others weren't. Dances like a white nerd.
Kimberly Caldwell: Ah, Branson. That explains everything. The song type suited her voice, and she's definitely comfortable on stage (thank you, Branson), but what was up with the Stefani-wannabe outfit? Yikes.
Rickey Smith: Can't believe they didn't have the mike on for his first line. This was a good song for him--the old Motown style gave him a more strict structure and he didn't get lost in the flourishes (like he did in his nervous semifinal performance). Loved his trousers, and he just plain old has a beautiful voice.
Julia DeMato: Even bigger waste of time than Charles. Someone save me! She seems to have gotten her strange upper lip from her mother. And the two tape snippets of her performing the national anthem set new worldwide performance lows. Scary pink (!!!) ankle booties. Did the pencil-necked geek dance--step, touch, step, touch, off the beat. Added nothing to her song. Overall, yikes!
Clay Aiken: Bet he was a great camp counselor. Very comfortable on stage, projects good energy, and it was a good song for him. Needs to keep his eyes open more. "Motown the Musical"? Yeah, but there are good singers on Bway.
Vanessa Olivarez: Sounded okay. She's looked better. Lots of personality--she'd make a great host for some show on TLC.
Corey Clark: Dumber than spit. Did he get the braids to look less like Justin Guarini or as a tribute to eliminated Chip? Sounded like Smokey Robinson whining. Seemed pretty relaxed on stage, but I suspect it's because he's too stupid to know better.
Carmen Rasmusen: Did not like the red clamdiggers, though the hair, red lipstick, black top and necklace were winners. Sounded better and looked more relaxed than in her wild card performance (must be getting easier), but ultimately still just a high schooler.
Trenyce: Did not like the hat. Did you see during her video clip, they showed a newspaper article about her, and her real name was briefly visible? I think it was something like Lashundra Robbins. She seemed a little pitchy on the repeated "cryin'," but I think it was artistic interpretation so she gets a little leeway here. She should ditch the all-black outfits (that red flower she had in her hair during the wildcard was great), but she's one of the best performers of the bunch.
Ruben Studdard: Daaaaaaamnnnnn. He really is all that. Gives me chills every time I hear him. The only one of the bunch whose album I would actually purchase. Poor Josh to end up singing the same song as the superstar.
The video clips were really revealing, especially those that showed them singing. Charles, Julia and Corey stunk, and Rickey and Ruben were still amazing. I think either Charles or Julia will be the first eliminated, and frankly I won't miss them. Ruben will have to really screw up big time to not be the next American Idol.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I want to wear my hair up, I gather it in the back with my hand as if I were going to put it in a pony tail. Then I twist it as if I were making a french twist. Then I clip it with a clip so that the ends of my hair are sticking straight up. Then I take the parts that are sticking straight up and push them under the clip. I leave some of the strands out of the clip to give a wispy look. This makes a very soft looking bun/twist without looking dorky (at least I think I don't look like a dork and guys seem to dig me when I wear my hair like that).
I also pull out a few strands on both sides to frame my face.
Using this technique, the clip is entirely hidden, although, I would still choose a color to match your hair.
I am fully prepared to be mocked for this, but I have used the hairdini and was able to make some cute up do's with it.Back to top

------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the BBC:
Miami Vice star investigated
German authorities are investigating documents found in the car of former Miami Vice star Don Johnson that detail transactions worth $8bn (£5bn).
But a customs spokesman said there was "no indication" of illegal activity and that it was not a criminal investigation.
The actor's car was stopped for a routine check on the Swiss-German border as he entered Germany in November.
The documents were photocopied but not seized and he was allowed to continue his journey without formal questioning.
"There is currently no indication of illegal transactions," customs spokesman Wolfgang Schmitz said.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
I posted this here because it's too damned funny for the politics board.
NOEL GALLAGHER has criticised anti-war protests, branding them a "bloody waste of time."
Although he admits that he disagrees with the war, he thinks that the UK's Labour government is tied to the US and so protests are pointless.
In an interview with the Berlin newspaper, Der Tagesspiegel, Gallagher said, "Whenever there is a conservative, bible waving half-wit ruling in the White House whether it's Bush, his father or Reagan there is war."
He added, "Protests are a bloody waste of time, the war will go ahead anyway."
Gallagher is currently touring Germany with Oasis, and expressed his sympathy for Tony Blair, saying, "Whoever is the British Prime Minister is tied to America. It's been that way since the Second World War, and even Tony Blair can't change that.
"Politics is like football for me. Labour is my team and even if you don't like a striker you don't give up supporting the whole team
Labour is the lesser of two evils. What else should we have? Anarchy? Someone has to be responsible."
He then went on to criticise the British nation, saying, "We are a nation of moaning sissies, regardless of who governs. The British get on my nerves. They moan about the weather, about the French, about the Germans. They moan about cricket, football they should just keep their mouths shut."
Gallagher also added that if he ever wrote an autobiography, it would be called > 'Kettle, Cigarettes, Guitar, Television' as he claims he doesn't need anything else in order to live no drugs, no women and no band.

AI: Does anybody else think that the AI judges (esp. Simon) are worried about a Jim-style backlash, and have tempered their comments accordingly? What I mean is that the consensus three worst contestants last night, Julia, Carmen and Charles, all received nice comments from the judges. Simon was a little tougher on those who were better singers. I think this is deliberate; he wants the worst singers/performers out, and he knows that his honest comments might prevent that from happening.
Maybe I'm crazy, but that's how I read it.
Survivor: I can't wait to see someone start feeding Christy some misinformation about what other people are saying. If Will from BB2 was there, he'd do it in a second. So would Richard Hatch. C'mon people - she's deaf. Take advantage of it. I also think that anyone serious about winning this game would have to take other people aside and say, "you know, if any of us are in the final 2 up against a deaf girl, we've got no shot. Let's get rid of her now."
NBA/NHL: I always forget -- do either of these leagues re-seed for every round of the playoffs? Is re-seeding a good idea? I love that the NCAA Hoops tournament does not re-seed; it makes Cinderella teams possible. But I guess there's less of a need for that in the pros where the talent level is a lot closer and there can't really be Cinderellas in the same way.
