SOCL

Very good points, Trej. Sadly, though, I don't see the Chiss as a society that was came to be the way they are in a military sense, instead I think them more as a highly sophisticated society that has been forced into a militarisitc lifestyle and wishes to return to the "old ways". More like Thrawn was uniquye among Chiss instead of Chiss all being like Thrawn (in the sense of military, that is).

Well, I figured out how to fix the problem on VillagePhotos and already have an account working there, so no need to worry any more. The question though is: do JPEGs lower image quality? By the way, does anyone know where I can find any System Of A Down avatars?

By the way, does VillagePhotos not allow hosting of animated GIFs or something? Because I can't get mine uploaded.

Is it just me, or does it seem like when you save a picture form off the Internet and then upload it on your own website, the quality (especially for JPEGs) goes down? I had a big situation with trying to get some of my Gimpy pictures to look right. Is this normal? I think I figured it out (as far as villagephotos goes, at least) on how to get the quality to stay good, but I'm still curious. Simply put: do JPEGs lower picture quality?

Trej, you and I must amass a great force to purge out those who dare tarnish the name of Thrawn! The Dark Lord of Useless Statistics shall fall!!!

A hick/red-neck or any other derogatory words used in such context refer to those people of the country who tend to exhibt behavior of low hygiene, usually wear dirty clothes, and some are even missing teeth. Lastly, they speak with a southern accent. An example for such an accent would be: "Hey, ya'll, wanna go git us surm vanilli puddin'?" (of course, that was all one big generalization) I am not one of these type, but am a person of big cities like Chicago and New York, but have been forced to live here by uncontrolable matters. Well, there you go! There are up to two countries between the Netherlands and Switzerland (depending on how you travel) and we've also got natural barriers between the Netherlands and Belgium, they're called Noord-Brabant and Limburg...My apologies, Scath. I should not have made such a general assumption without better research.

::to self:: Excellent, everything is proceeding as I had foreseen. BRUHAHAHA!

Thanks, Scath! This is exactly what I needed!

I believe I shall. And with the number of avatars I have collected, I think I'll switch it every time I get promoted. So you'll probably see one of those when I become a lieutenant colonel. I have one of them on my homepage (my almost never updated, crappy AOL homepage, that is).

Kentucky/Tennessee border in the United States, Elvis.

Apparently I don't know why Elvis is so great, but even so: YIPEE! Nice to meet you, Elvis, I am SOCL the Explanation Confuser.

Whoa, really? I had no idea. THANKS, bro! ::scribbles down tip for flashscreen:: Pictures were perfect! Thanks, man!

Apparently I'm the 1669th member. Not such a graceful or magical number . . . but it ends in 69!

WHOA! Really? COOL! Check your PM!

Now's my chance to force an explanation upon everyone . . . Psst, dude, did you hear what Scath said about you? . . . bad stuff, bro. Psst, Scath, did you hear what dude was saying about you? . . . man, I wouldn't let anyone say stuff like that about me.

Fast and correct assumption, Scath. I congratulate you (was quite obvious, wasn't it?). I'm not too worried, just don't want to get sued.

Not sure if I could make it, but I'll try! Intriguing, to say the least. Can't wait!

I didn't mean anything offensive (like I said, I am ignorant on this subject and made an assumption), but yes, the states closest to each other have things in common. Kentucky and Tennessee are prime examples as you can't tell the difference between a hick from one and a hick from the other. But natural barriers cause differences to appear. Virginians and West Virginians are quite different due to the Appalachian Mountains that seperate them.

what pictures I saw of her: she was quite pretty. http://www.undergrads.tv/main.html That's the link. Just click "Skip Intro" all the way until you get to Nitz's room and see his computer. Click on the round, ball-like camera on top of the computer monitor (a little window will show up that says "Go See Gimpy"). Click on it and it should take you to Gimpy's room. Once in Gimpy's room, click on the white rabbit in the right-hand corner (which will have a window that says "More Fun" or something like that). Once you click on it, you'll see Gimpy's chair on the left. Click on it until you reach the one that is titled: "A Self-Portrait". That's the picture I want. The one of Gimpy in stormtrooper armor would be nice too, if you don't mind (it's titled: "Me. Notice the haydraulic action").

What do you mean, exactly?

Out of curiosity: Is it illegal to link to a site you don't own? Like one of their pictures or something? I heard something about this from a friend during my bench time at a soccer game, but it mostly went over my head.

I didn't expect so. I have a friend who lives in Switzerland and he doesn't have it. I also have a friend in Belgium, and he doesn't have it either. Must suck. Why on earth would you compare the Netherlands to either Belgium or Switzerland? Well . . . I am, after all, an American, so you have to ignore my ignorance. I just guessed that since they are quite close and are all in western Europe they would have something in common.

Have you seen her pictures? . . . ??? I'm going to guess the pictures I saw were not the ones you meant for me to see(?). That we'd already figured you're Gimpy from your posts... I see . . . There's this great picture of Gimpy sitting in his chair and that looks exactly like me when I'm playing Rebellion, but I can't get a hold of it because it's part of one of those Flash things (I hate those!). If anyone can get it for me, I would GREATLY appreciate it!

Guess... What's with your "Guess..." thing, Scath? Guess... AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! You have been possessed by that cat!!!!!

So true . . . too bad wormie's not on now.
