LOL

OKAY, OKAY

Maybe I clicked on the thumbnail, peeked for a quick second, and closed the window before I could make out the faces. But I’ve been to enough games to know Daric always stretches like that before games, and the pants too. I swear that was the only one I clicked :) It was bugging the heck out of me!

LOL

That one WAS hard, but I LOVE that photo.

Children, until we have taught them better, will be perfectly happy with a seasonal round of games in which conkers succeeds hopscotch.

How did I miss Rich. How did I miss Rich. How did I miss Rich.
It’s because you used his non-smirking side, dammit!

Aw, the real Dale one is so tricky!

I thought that one might be him, but when I saw the skin tone on the hand in the picture, I was like… yeah Dale’s hand is not that tan.

by schmifty on Sep 9, 2008 8:44 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Thanks.

I might have to do this again shortly. I don’t want to annoy anyone with it, though

But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.

by Jennifer on Sep 9, 2008 7:46 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I think it's worth doing again.

I mean, it’s not like it’s “Guess That Butt” or something, so I think it’s pretty general-interest-appropriate.

by schmifty on Sep 9, 2008 7:49 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Don't scroll down.

But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.

by Jennifer on Sep 9, 2008 8:20 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Maybe everyone should use spoiler fonts in the comments next time?

Any other ideas?

I might have to put instructions on spoiler fonts in the preview.

But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.

I feel like "don't scroll down" is clear enough.

I managed it

Just scroll right past the comments and type your response in the box. Actually, I typed my answers in Notepad to make it easier, and copied and pasted them into the response box.

by schmifty on Sep 9, 2008 8:52 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

If you click "Add you comment"

at the bottom of the photos/diary, it will skip the comments already posted and take you directly to a comment box.

Fun stuff, Jennifer. Almost made me forget the Raider debacle. Almost.

I'm here to talk about the past.
