Here at work, I am now officially and completely out of chocoloate. -- nm - Dr.Vermin, not happy Jul 21, 13:28
Grade my Photoshop: here's the original: -- (link) - prayformojo Jul 21, 13:22 [Image] 10
- Here's the end result (not really what I was going for, but I just ended up messing around) -- (link) - prayformojo Jul 21, 13:23 [Image] 9
  - Nice, but I'd make it a bit wider around the fist -- nm - marcel Jul 21, 13:28
  - Heh. Not bad! -- nm - Sen.Vermin Jul 21, 13:26 1
    - I was waiting for fishstick kid or something. -- nm - CQ Jul 21, 13:27
  - IMO, it would be better if the flames were a little to the right so they look like a trail - Guigue Jul 21, 13:25 5
    - I think there needs to be a little more randomness in the flames themselves too. As it is, I think they're a little too straight. -- nm - Ender Jul 21, 13:34
    - "also, some rainbows would really kick it up a notch" -- nm - Beryllium Jul 21, 13:27
    - Wow (see, these are the kinds of things I wish would occur to me. Comes from experience I guess. Thx!) -- nm - prayformojo Jul 21, 13:27 2
      - Here a trick. Create a new layer, change de the blending mode to "Color Burn" (in the layer window, it should say "Normal" right now at the top) - Guigue Jul 21, 13:32 1
        
        Scratch that, paint with light gray. You may get some weird pixelization it you go too dark, then bring the opacity of the layer down until it's gone -- nm - Guigue Jul 21, 13:36
So, wait - does every season of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette have Overnight Fantasy Suite dates with multiple suitors? -- nm - Diva Jul 21, 13:21 7
- yeah, but she or he can choose not to use the invitation -- nm - CQ Jul 21, 13:23 1
  - I guess that's one way to get escorted to the limo, post haste. -- nm - Diva Jul 21, 13:30
- Pretty much, yeah. -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 21, 13:22
- The Cougar banged her Final 3 -- nm - Epiphany Jul 21, 13:21 3
  - Gotta kick the tires, so to speak. -- nm - Dano Jul 21, 13:22 2
    - " It's really close between 1 and 2, can I sleep with them both again, just to make sure?" -- nm - Epiphany Jul 21, 13:24 1
      - "And at the same time for a more direct comparison" -- nm - Dano Jul 21, 13:27
Rob Zombie was a PA on Pee Wee's Playhouse? -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 21, 13:20 1

Edmonton Eskimo football player nabs purse snatcher -- (link) - Beryllium Jul 21, 13:15 5
- Huh. I wonder if the 'Eskimos' team name is controversial at all like the Redskins. -- nm - Sen.Vermin Jul 21, 13:22 4
  - Not as, but periodically there's some talk about it. - Reagen Jul 21, 13:30
  - It might be, since technically we call the northern first nations "Inuit". -- nm - Beryllium Jul 21, 13:23 2
    - that said, 'eaters of raw meat' is a pretty fearsome team name -- nm - Roger More Jul 21, 13:24 1
      - Not as fearsome as "ROUGHRIDERS!!" -- nm - Beryllium Jul 21, 13:26
hmm, also coming soon: Hawaii Five-O Season 1 Disc 1 -- nm - Beryllium Jul 21, 13:13
Also, did the taaco truck just run out of garnishings. Cucumber and radishes? wtf? -- nm - CQ Jul 21, 13:12 9
- are you serious? that is a normal garnish in Cali for mexican type food. - Epiphany Jul 21, 13:18 4
  - It's gotten so that I munch on them at home to get my veggies in -- nm - con_carne Jul 21, 13:32
  - fwiw, in my neck of the woods, it's uncommon. (though i have never taco-trucked.) -- nm - b. Jul 21, 13:25
  - v. common in middle eastern food as well. -- nm - Reagen Jul 21, 13:20
  - wow, I had no clue. maybe I'm used to a Cuban flair or something -- nm - CQ Jul 21, 13:20
- Come to think of it, pickled carrot would rule. And I skipped the whole jalapeno. But no, this is their standard. -- nm - con_carne Jul 21, 13:18
- Are you sure it's a cucumber? Was the taco pink? -- nm - Dano Jul 21, 13:13
- aren't radishes a palette-cleanser, like ginger? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 21, 13:13 1
  - It sort of does have that effect -- nm - con_carne Jul 21, 13:32
seriously, someone needs Bachelorette advice? I find it amusingly ironic that I am the go to for this. My wife is awesome, but this is hewr vice. -- nm - CQ Jul 21, 13:11
TNA news....Jeff Jarrett is romantically involved with Karen Angle... - Remlik Jul 21, 13:08 9
- Doesn't Jarrett still own a lot of the company? If so, Angle is screwed. - David Jul 21, 13:27 1
  - he owns a chunk...but Dixie Carter and the company owns the most. -- nm - Remlik Jul 21, 13:28
- actress Dixie Carter runs a sports league? -- nm - peglegpete Jul 21, 13:10 5
  - "Have you *completely* lost your mind?!?!?!" -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 21, 13:18
  - *imagines Dixie Carter as a pro wrestler* -- nm - con_carne Jul 21, 13:11 1
    - She'd be good on the mic. -- nm - Dano Jul 21, 13:21
  - no...different woman. -- nm - Remlik Jul 21, 13:10 1
    - too bad. she'd be fun running it -- nm - peglegpete Jul 21, 13:11
- ~ awk-ward... ~ -- nm - TFox Jul 21, 13:09
Just watched the 2nd part of Meteor. I really didn't think they could make it more boring and ridiculous, but they exceeded my wildest expectations. - not2fast Jul 21, 13:04
TTIS: Can you have two ipods on the same itunes library? -- nm - lileve Jul 21, 13:03 3
- ipods? itunes? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 21, 13:11
- Yes -- nm - Guigue Jul 21, 13:04
- yes. -- nm - Remlik Jul 21, 13:04

        I was presuming (and hoping) it was a joke. - ty97 Jul 21, 13:06 3

y'all are smarter: if you get the wrong thing shipped via USPS media mail, can you just write return to sender on it and send it back if its unopened? -- nm - TFox Jul 21, 12:48 1
- Absolutely. I do it all the time, or have many times in the past. -- nm - not2fast Jul 21, 12:51
