WOW
So the problem is that Gary does not cross his “T”s but he does dot his “J”s
by Rev Halofan on Jun 17, 2009 6:18 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Because he is "junior", he uses small "j", which would be dotted.
But because he is a lame-assed, weak-hitting, knuckleheaded fielder prone to run obtuse routes to any ball hit to the outfield, he is unfamiliar with the concept of ‘straight’ and he is unable to draw straight lines anytime, anywhere. Therefore, he is incable of crossing his “t’s”.

It might turn around his career…oh probably not.

So let me get this straight
GMJ doesn’t have to be in the original background?

Judging by the examples given from the Albert ones, I’d say that yeah, the background doesn’t have to be the crowd and he can be cut out into something else. Like a certain scene from Titanic or something.

....and how DO you do it?
I suppose you have to pay and that Microsoft Paint will not get the job done….

lmao… MS Paint? If someone were to do that in MS Paint, I’ll buy them a beer.
Adobe Photoshop CS4 is the tool for me.

Dude, ALL my photo editing work is predominantly done using MS Paint.
Including this, this, this, this and this. All of which have been posted here in the past.
And, of course, this guy puts us all to shame!!!!

Just admit it, what size tutu do you wear?

by 44FAN on Jun 19, 2009 1:51 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
What size?
I thought tutu’s were made from spandex…you know one size fits all?
Maybe you can educate us on tutu sizes…I’m starting to think you are too too interested in tutu’s.
by sothball on Jun 19, 2009 10:45 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Traditional Tutus are not made of lycra
but there are cheapie lycra-trunk versions available ready-made. I costumed dancers for a living. One year I altered 20 catalogue tutus for a group of realtors attending a convention in New Orleans. All men. The things didn’t come quite large enough for these guys and I had to add more stretchy fabric.
The following year they all went to the convention as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz.
I have no idea. It was the SF bay area.

Excellent.
Also, quite topical, since Calzaghe will only fight boxers who are shells of their former selves.

And it looked awesome.
