    Default BRING BACK CALVIN AND HOBBES!!!!!..PETITION

    This may be a moot point but I loved the Calvin and Hobbes comics. I used to read them just about every day. This is a poll to see if we can get enough of a vote to allow Rilla the extra 1" to post his comic.

    You can't say "no" to a just cause. But all is not lost.

    My sig will now place you one click away from the comic strips you loved so dearly.

    I like the comics myself but I voted no. I don't like having to scroll over to the right to read posts. It nothing against Calvin or Hobbs but the sig is just too big.

    Ok:

    Open the image. Go to Image -> Stretch/Skew. "Stretch" it to 80% of the height/width and then hit ok. Save and you're done. You could just do width, but doing both will preserve the aspect ratio.

    I don't know if he'll be able to just stretch/skew and still be able to read the captions.

    Why don't you just use BBCode to resize the images?

    example: [img=500x160]...url...[/img]

    Umm...why didn't that show up?

    Edit: Fixed. Apparently having "&" in the filename makes BB say "that's not an image"

    That must be a mod. I've seen similar mods that resize sig images automatically to a pre-defined size. You guys want this?

    The best quote at the work lunchtable is:

    Carl asks Homer for his autograph becuase some TV sitcom started and the main characters name is Homer Simpson.

    Homer: Name?
    Carl: Homer, we've known each other for years.
    Homer: *blank stare*
    Carl: It's Carl.
    They start talking and the next thing Homer says is...
    Homer: That's right *looks back at autographed photo* Carl.

    the best is when Homer and Bart go to the post office to pick up something that had been sent to Mr. Burns:

    Homer: (to the post office guy) Hi. My name is Mr. Burns, I believe you have a Letter for me.
    Post Office Guy: Ok Mr. Burns, what's your first name?
    Homer: I don't know.

    haha. the way he says I dont know slays me

    The quote you started with where Carl was using his world of the day toilet paper was a scene at the work lunchtable. Since I can't say,"This scene is the best scene ever" for my scene I said it was the best quote from the same setting, the work lunchtable. Then you brought up a better quote, from a different setting.

    Back in high school, we used to quiz one of my friends on all sorts of simpsons questions and he'd always know the answer. I remember, the only one that kinda stumped him for a minute or two was from the episode where the family joins a cult, Bart has some kit for mischief. I asked what the name of the kit was and he actually had to think about it. I was proud of myself.
