I apparently need some help with a random thing. I'm trying to change my avatar. I have the page with GIF file. I have saved image as, but when I upload the file to the interwebs (my avatar) the GIF is static and not a motion image, like it's supposed to be. It works for my licklick avatar but not for meowmeow. Please help. Tell me it's something I'm doing.

EDIT: When I open the file in IE (shutup) it is a motion image, but it isn't a motion image as an avatar here (unlike my licklick avatar). Which makes no sense, unless maybe because it's too big, but wouldn't it tell me in annoying red print that the image was too big?

If I'm not misunderstanding, you're uploading it here, correct? Have you tried hosting it elsewhere and just using the URL in your avatar settings (The "Specify avatar by URL" option)?

Wunderkind · « **Reply #5677 on:** May 24, 2012, 06:02:52 PM »

I wasn't aware of that option. I will try.

Success! But this still doesn't explain why licklick could be uploaded but not meowmeow... Oh well.

While trying not to take that out of context, very cute avatar!

I just got someone at work to google 'goatse'. I didn't think anyone was out there that would actually fall for it. It was totally awesome.

Goatse is old enough that most people don't remember it anymore.

Whole new generation of kids. Now they're blue waffling and fried ricing.

I think the best part was that it was after discussing 'blue waffle'. He still searched for it, at work.

What's a blue waffle?

Wunderkind · « **Reply #5691 on:** August 02, 2012, 06:44:37 PM »

Don't. Just don't.

Or at least, don't directly before or after eating.

Google it. You know you want to.

RISE, RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE.

I just used the "Explains." meme with a coworker. I'm not sure he appreciated it like y'all would. YOU PEOPLE.

I want to combine the two movies The Big Lebowski and Pulp Fiction.

Consider it for a moment.

1. Both movies take place in the Los Angeles area
2. Both movies take place in roughly the same time frame.

With very careful editing, the two films could be stitched together, and new story elements might actually come out of it.

BizB · « **Reply #5695 on:** May 07, 2014, 03:33:01 PM »

If only I had that kind of time.

Demosthenes · « **Reply #5696 on:** May 07, 2014, 06:31:27 PM »

Me too. Or.... any kind of skill in editing movies.

Movie mashups could be the next music mashups. Brilliant. I'd love to see Godzilla vs Remains Of The Day.

I'm practicing necromancy.

I'm wearing my first pair of skinny jeans today and wondering why the hell I waited so long to try/buy some. This is a thing I do regularly: give in and try something I'd been actively avoiding, only to have it be something I like using/doing. Anyone else fall into similar practices?

Text messaging. I avoided it for the longest time.
