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  

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”.

We don't have a Bullpen. We have a Cowpen. Before we get to call it a Bullpen these guys gotta grow a pair.

I like the new nickname

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?

RIP Nick Adenhart 4/9/09

by vlad IS my man on Jun 17, 2009 8:29 PM PDT reply actions  

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.

by BrentSchmidt on Jun 17, 2009 8:46 PM PDT up reply actions  

....and how DO you do it?

I suppose you have to pay and that Microsoft Paint will not get the job done….

I will be doing mine using nothing but MS Paint and Paint.net

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!!!!

Of all the photos posted so far...

…which one do you think would piss GMJ off the most if it was posted over his locker?

That’s my standard of the “best”…and this is the Winnah!

by sothball on Jun 19, 2009 7:19 AM PDT up reply actions  

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  

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.

True he does not want to give my Cousin......Librado Andrade......a fight.

Andrade is going to have to settle for a remach against Lucian Bute!

Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess you could use it as toilet paper in a pinch…

Just wanted to somehow join the fun.

was this from the Stonewall riots?

This season just seems jinxed. If it can go wrong, it does

The bow tie is a classy touch.

Saw a Corsair in the air last year at the airshow in Margate

And it looked awesome.

Gary is just not a very good Landing Signal Officer, it appears.
