    Has anyone considered the fact Happy is a member here and that maybe this situation could be treated with a bit of tact? billyhallfan, the best thing to do with that picture is to reduce its size in a graphics program, upload it to your Yuku image storage or to Photobucket, and repost it. As you and TooLive have each noticed, 4 MB and 3600x2700 pixels wide graphic is massive. I'd recommend a width of 460 pixels. The height will take care of itself.

    My guess would be that if you looked around, you could find a cursor that actually did that.

    Yeah, something like that would have to be offered by Yuku. It never hurts to ask, though. There's stuff we might be able to do, and the Yuku portion of the site isn't dependent on Brewerfan. As an example, when a member requested it, we were able to add the dropdowns that access forums on both Brewerfan and LambeauLeap from each board. Also, we had a recent request for a legend for the board's posticons. That's on the to-do list.

    It bugs me that we didn't think of the Free Credit Report song when homer was looking for music to play for his obnoxious neighbor.

    Let's focus on the statement about the untucked jerseys rather than the comparison about praising God. It puts us on a slippery slope as far as the board rules go. Also, I believe the untucking tradition might have been the subject of recent discussion in another thread in this forum. If that's the case and someone provides a link, we might want to merge the topics.

    We can do an item a day and the winning bidder would donate the money after the seller sends them the product. I'd kind of like to see it done the other way around. That's usually how sales are processed. Blancofan1, those who donate through Yuku get some free Yuku Supporter. Yuku Supporters' page views don't use up paid views on Yuku boards. Brewerfan, LambeauLeap, and any other "large" Yuku board would benefit. Yuku Supporter can also be purchased separately.

    Yuku's support board has "Yucku" in its cuss filter.

    I made that mistake last night, Toby. You're right. Save that stuff for Katuluu. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    I've added Cot's. An "untweaked" copy of the Resource List now appears above. I'm hoping to update it this weekend, so now's a great time to make any suggestions. I've already noted that the West Virginia stuff needs to be updated to the Timber Rattlers. EDIT: I see both Cot's and FanGraphs were already in the Resource List. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    The New England Patriots were renamed from Boston Patriots when they moved out to Foxborough, which is 30 or so miles from Boston. Being that they're away from Boston proper and that they represent fans in several states, I don't have a problem with this name. Golden State Warriors came when the team moved from San Francisco to Oakland. The name is too weird for my taste, though.

    I had an extermination service in the past. They're very good about attacking the source, i.e. working both indoors and outdoors. Besides using poison, they'll look for points of entry and plug them up. They're also good about making sure they do their job in a manner that's safe for children and pets. You'll need to sign a contract for a year's worth of visits. I'm sure that part of that is because they want your money, but the "official" explanation is that multiple visits are necessary to keep things under control. Besides insects, rodent control would also be part of the package.
  12. 1992casey
    It's added. I'm also thinking that the "valuable resources" should be incorporated into the other resources document that'll be moved here soon. As it is, some of the links occur in both places. Can anyone think of a reason not to do that?
  13. 1992casey
    JoeH33 and I discussed placement of this thread via PM, and we agreed that it'd be handy to access from numerous places around the board. Because stickying it all over the place is impractical, I've added this thread to the row of links that appears near the top of most board pages (Rules of Conduct, etc.). We also decided that it'd be appropriate to move the Brewerfan.net Resource list into this thread. EDIT: removed defunct link --1992

    You can count me in with those who don't like singular team nicknames. I also quarrel with several teams who identify with the state rather than the city. Exceptions: Minnesota Twins: They represent two cities of relatively equal significance. Texas Rangers: Dallas and Fort Worth wouldn't be as "equal" as Minneapolis and St. Paul, but the Rangers did succeed the Dallas-Fort Worth minor league franchise. Besides that, Texas Rangers simply sounds cool. I think it's one of the best team names around. California Angels: The name is no longer used, but it addressed the fact that the team is located in an expanse of several cities. Of course, even though it would seem justified, it got confusing when the California Golden Seals--located in the Bay Area--played in the NHL. This one especially bugs me. Wisconsin Timber Rattlers / Wisconsin Woodchucks: One team is in Appleton; the other is in Wausau. How confusing is that? I'm fine with the Washington Nationals. Nationals was actually the official nickname of the American League Washington franchise for a long time. People didn't like it, however, and called the team the Senators anyway.

    Yuku accidentally placed system-wide bans on some members yesterday. Hopefully, this mess is cleaned up. If this affects you--and you've managed to get here to read this--here are some options: Create a new profile and post your main profile name to this thread: Users banned from the Yuku network. Create a new profile and use it to apply for Brewerfan membership. Rather than addressing the application questions, tell us your username and that you've been globally banned. We can report the issue with your main profile for you. E-mail one of the more visible admins on the About Us page; one of us can post to that thread for you. If anyone knows of a member in this predicament, please let them know that they can read this post if they log out. Or simply report their username to us and we can follow up.

    The last time I checked this, the crime rate in Wauwatosa was a bit high, but it's basically because of Mayfair. The mall keeps the police busy. The neighborhoods are nice, but I'd still keep everything locked up. This advice would apply to every suburb, though. If you're going to live in Milwaukee proper, I'd suggest going south: Bay View, Jackson Park, or further west. I think the Granville neighborhood (up by Menomonee Falls) would be cool, but it'd also be pricey. There's a sliver between Wauwatosa and West Allis (south of Blue Mound Road) that's cool. There are neighborhoods in the city that unfortunately have beautiful houses, but aren't safe if you want to leave those homes. The Sherman Park neighborhood comes to mind.

    Let's say I store my toothbrush wrapped in a paper towel in a room with no bacterial mist from the toilet. Is it still going to contain trace amounts of feces?

    I'll work backwards here. First, congratulations to BrewCrewIn2004. I knew the wedding was coming up, but I thought it was a little further into the future. Second, phxMILWfan mentions something about the wife always being right. I don't think that's 100% correct, but there's merit. If one spouse feels really strongly about something and the other's able to acquiesce, that's how it should go. Third, pretendastronaut mentions that you'll be aggressively pursued by people who'll want to help (for money). If you think it might be worth your while, fine. If not, ignore them. Or don't ignore them and live and learn. Fourth, I've never been to Jamaica, but I think marijuana might be legal. If it is, remember that it's irrelevant if you need to pass a urinalysis once you return to the States. EDIT: I forgot to congratulate Ross. Congratulations!

    Putting Fielder at #2 indicates that you've been reading The Book. No, I can't say that I'd keep Rickie hitting third, but I'll say that if he's "on," he provides both OBP and SLG. I like that in a leadoff hitter. I have no quarrel with his current lineup spot, though. With Braun out, it's necessary to go with the flow. Note: this thread was "undesignated" in the Designated Threads List not too long ago. Since it was bumped and there's no newer lineup thread, I'm going to put it back. It's as good a place as any for general lineup discussion. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

    Is your OK button hiding below the bottom of the post editor? If that's the case, you can hit the down arrow (two buttons to the right of spell-check) to enlarge it.

    In Missouri, "ignorant" is a synonym for "rude."

    The average spoon used to serve oneself at a buffet restaurant has more bacteria than the average toilet seat.

    I went to Woodman's in Oak Creek the other day. I don't understand the appeal. It just didn't seem like a pleasant place to shop. There is no main entrance. The layout is confusing. There are walls dividing the place into different rooms. We stood in line for a long time to check out as only 3 of 18 aisles had cashiers... only to find out that there were more checkout lanes in a different room (most of them also without cashiers). I suppose it's possible that it gets better; I know the store is popular. But my first impression couldn't have been worse.

    There are thresholds where a contributor's Yuku Supporter gift is increased. For instance, a $24 contribution gives you four months of Supporter while a $30 contribution gives you six months. A $54 contribution gives you a full year vs. 10 months and 16 days for a $48 contribution. Awhile back, I plugged some numbers into the contribution thingy to see how much Supporter would be gifted at various amounts. Click on the plus to view them. [+] $6 contribution = 1 free month of Supporter $12 contribution = 2 free months of Supporter $18 contribution = 3 free months of Supporter $24 contribution = 4 free months of Supporter $30 contribution = 6 free months of Supporter $36 contribution = 7 months and 16 days of Supporter $42 contribution = 9 months of Supporter $48 contribution = 10 months and 16 days of Supporter $54 contribution = 12 months of Supporter $60 contribution = 13 months and 16 days of Supporter $66 contribution = 15 months of Supporter $72 contribution = 16 months and 16 days of Supporter $78 contribution = 18 months of Supporter $84 contribution = 19 months and 16 days of Supporter $90 contribution = 21 months of Supporter

    Every once in a while, I do some money laundering. A couple of days ago, I picked $160 out of the washer and another $20 out of the dryer.
