Title: Ridiculousness!!
Post by: lepetitfromage on 12 Apr 2013, 08:59
Inspired by some amazing photos in this thread (http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,27807.500.html), I think we need a place to post all of the ridiculous photos that we take/are taken of us. Yes, we do have a photo thread and it is wonderful in its own right, but I think we need a place dedicated to silliness!

So....gimme your best shot. I better laugh so hard that I pee myself. Ok? Ok. GO!



(I will be posting, but there are so many awesomely bad photos of me that it's gonna take a while to pick the winners out)

This little guy is a white lined sphinx moth, he landed on my face while I was doing exterior lock ups at a country club I was posted to as a security officer for a little while. He left shortly after I got the picture, but I knew there was no way in hell any one was going to believe me without said picture.

My friend's car broke down under an overpass as we were on our way to the Renn Faire. Traffic was fairly heavy so we goofed around and entertained everyone. We actually had a decent plot going for awhile there. (I'm on the far right)

Pictures on the Internet do that.  I've pretty much given up trying to educate people about picture sizes and hosting, because I would have no time left if I did this for every case that could be improved. 

But I am about to move in on a couple of over-large avatars (there's one that's about 2MB - just for an avi!)
Title: Re: Ridiculousness!!
Post by: Masterpiece on 15 Apr 2013, 00:43
Isn't there a filesize limiter on the avatar upload?
Title: Re: Ridiculousness!!
Post by: pwhodges on 15 Apr 2013, 01:26
Uploaded avatars are recoded to 100x100px if larger, but there's no specific check on file size.

Avatars linked from external files are not touched, but the html is forced to display them at 100x100px.  I could set the forum to upload and resize external avis that are bigger than 100x100, but I haven't checked what the effect would be on animated gifs.  Also, I imagine this would only take effect at the time a new avi is specified (otherwise the server would be uploading external avis all the time).

When I've felt the need to get someone to reduce the size of their animated gif avi, I've suggested they use this program (http://www.ashongsoft.com/gif.resizer.documents.html) which does an OK job.

Title: Re: Ridiculousness!!
Post by: pwhodges on 15 Apr 2013, 05:23
Those purple gowns and tassels are unique, as far as I know, to The King's School, Canterbury, and I wore them to classes for four years.  At that time, the purple gowns were worn by those with an honorary "senior scholarship", awarded to those with exceptional O-level results; but now it is the school monitors who wear them.   The silver medal I'm wearing was the Pfizer Science Prize (and came with £25, which was pretty worthwhile in 1967), for the most promising scientist in the first-year sixth.

So about 6 years ago my wife and daughter were in London. while they were there they noticed a Star Wars convention or exhibit or something going on and went to check it out. There was a statue of a stormtrooper and my daughter was all like, wait.....take a picture.....ok...wait.......take a picture. This is the result, it does crack me up:

Wait, is that what this thread is? Self-pic posts doing zany stuff? Ohh....yeah, sorry. Nope. I don't post pics of myself online. Just a personal thing. So, as a consolation prize, you'll have to make do with Bat'leth-TSA guy.

That'll teach me to read the first post of a thread before derailing it.

Those pronunciations of quark are nearly identical though. Certainly closer than other words with multiple pronunciations - say for example "vase" (VAZE vs vahzze)

Even in Lancashire I might take a dislike to someone who suggested I was a triad gangster simply because I'm of Chinese descent.

The quark suffered a similar fate, being pronounced qu-ah-rk instead of the intended qu-or-rk.
Really? I thought the name was taken from Finnigan's Wake:

"Three quarks for Muster Mark!
Sure he has not got much of a bark
And sure any he has it's all beside the mark."


The rhymes suggest that qu-ar-k was intended, even in an Irish (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Joyce) accent!

I say "jif". But English spelling/pronunciation is so inconsistent that it can't make up its mind how to say "gill", depending on whether it is part of a fish, or a unit used to measure the volume of, for example, a fish-tank.
Title: Re: Ridiculousness!!
Post by: pwhodges on 02 Jul 2013, 03:14
On quark:

Quote from: Gell-Mann, who invented the term
In 1963, when I assigned the name "quark" to the fundamental constituents of the nucleon, I had the sound first, without the spelling, which could have been "kwork". Then, in one of my occasional perusals of Finnegans Wake, by James Joyce, I came across the word "quark" in the phrase "Three quarks for Muster Mark". Since "quark" (meaning, for one thing, the cry of the gull) was clearly intended to rhyme with "Mark", as well as "bark" and other such words, I had to find an excuse to pronounce it as "kwork". But the book represents the dream of a publican named Humphrey Chimpden Earwicker. Words in the text are typically drawn from several sources at once, like the "portmanteau" words in "Through the Looking-Glass". From time to time, phrases occur in the book that are partially determined by calls for drinks at the bar. I argued, therefore, that perhaps one of the multiple sources of the cry "Three quarks for Muster Mark" might be "Three quarts for Mister Mark", in which case the pronunciation "kwork" would not be totally unjustified. In any case, the number three fitted perfectly the way quarks occur in nature.

On gill:  then how about the name which is pronounced one way but can be spelt Gill (short for Gillian, I guess) or Jill...

I'd like to see that hair, Neko. If I was capable if growing it and bothered to maintain it, I'd love to have hair that long. My hair just about passes my bra strap at its longest.

Despite their handiness I hate wearing my hair in a ponytail. I must have a sensitive scalp because they're near painful. If I have to wear my hair up I use a butterfly clip to distribute the hair pulling. Also they're pretty.
