It is a '55 Bel-Aire, although I had to square-off the back a little to make the perspective look right.

The big project for school is over and I'm back from Paris and I have returned! Mwahaha! I mean..:)

Can I just say how much I love the Inline Edit button when it comes to reading tiny tiny fonts? No more copying and pasting or hitting quote like a savage

Can I just say how much I hate tiny fonts that can't be read without special effort?  It is not funny anymore.

Great, now you're going to get a bunch of responses from brats like this.

So it's satire, is it?  Well that changes everything!

I will admit to using small fonts on occasion, but always with a narrative implied.  Since it's hard to convey emotion or intonation through typing, and I think emoticons are the cheap way out, I'll use font sizes, typefaces, or text effects to convey that.

Still, I never go below 6pt.  I have some respect for the internet.

Likewise.  Making it small enough that you can still read it unaided can be amusing, but beyond that is just annoying.

I apologize. It was only because what was in the tiny font was of so little importance. Kind of like this.

Oh bother.

And raise your hand if you just knew that misterQ was going to be one of them.

Now I want to know how the other two jeeps will fall to Ray's ingenious use of left-over turkey, and a spork, respectively.

Is there some way to disable a car engine with skillful insertion of a spork?  This seems like something that someone on this board would know.

Sure there is.  Position the spoony part of the sport against the air intake butterfly.  It'll keep the valve from opening, keep the engine from getting enough air, and prevent engine workage.

Alternatively, if you wanted it to work for a little while first, put your spork handle into the oil sender line, either at the bottom of the block or near the pump.  The engine will work until the oil ceases flowing, which will cause either a crippling overheating or a complete seizure.  Either one is no good.

You could probably just jam it in the driver's eye, too.

"Acoxcae, save us from the Jeeps!"

"What do I have to work with?"

"A spork, some crappy newbie posts, and a tiny can of Dr. Pepper"

14 seconds later:


"Amazing!  How did you do it?"

"I'm acoxcae! LOL!"
