Wait a second. This kid already has a name? Sure has big feet for a newborn.

yay!

We should designate him the official 9622 poster boy! We demand frequent updates! We want those photographs pronto! We love our little Emperor!

*wantonly and proudly distributes Cohiba Robustos*

We can all give life advice to the new one... : >

I just read amberglow's suggestion in the hard labour thread.

My advice: Get started as soon as you can on all those lovely books. It's wonderful to be born into a house full of books and work your way across and into them. Start with the big art books - get your Rubens, Rembrandt and Rauschenberg in early!

Little babies really appreciate big complicated paintings, making up stories for all the figures. Much better than TV!

Tommy, can you hear me?

Start with the big art books - get your Rubens, Rembrandt and Rauschenberg in early!

I'm sure Dejah doesn't need my knowledge, but someone say art, Bright Colors & don't forget the Impressionist, Monet, Manet & the father of cinematography Renoir whose off spring still work in the field today.

I forgot to say...Welcome little one.

Well? We need an update. dejah needs to send a messenger to monkey island.

Welcome, Tommy. Congratulations, dejah.

Everyone else, start straining bananas.

I woke up this morning feeling like such a happy monkey auntie! Baby Tommy, I wish you health and good fortune. Here's hoping that you have many happy years and that you bring your momma lots of joy.

here you go baby (and thanks jpoulos):

Sometimes people will say "um...interesting" when you show them something you wrote or drew or painted or made...ignore those people!!!

: >

(this thread was a great idea, amberglow. thanks.)

Tommy, I'm going to fill you in on everything that's happened up till now:

First the earth cooled. And, then the dinosaurs came, but they got too big and fat, so they all died, and they turned into oil. And, then the Arabs came and they bought Mercedes Benzes. And, Prince Charles started wearing all of Lady Di's clothes. I couldn't believe it, he took her best summer dress out of the closet, and put it on, and went to town.

witchstone covered pretty much everything you need to know about history, but
also, then someone (Al Gore?) invented this interweb thing! so everyone met yr mommy...

welcome welcome welcome welcome

also, tommy, no matter what anyone tells you...anything battered and deepfried is both delicious and nutritious.

Books! We need to get him some books!

Pat the Bunny
Moo Baa LaLaLa
Fox in Socks
Cat in the Hat
Madeleine
Three by the Sea
The Story About Ping
Frog and Toad are Friends
Fox on Wheels
A Three Hat Day

... just for a start!

little tommy, here's a little advice I got from the doctor:

you put the lime in the coconut.

also,

turn the peanut, then pull

Welcome, baby Tommy! We're the Graces of 9622. I give you my wit, good looks, intelligence, and humility! Remember, use then only for good, never for evil! (occasional exceptions for when Mom says "Did you mow the lawn?" or "Are you drubk?" or "What happened to the car!?" permitted)

Also, never mix parsley and plaid... or something like that.

yay! when can we get the little bugger a MeFi account?

Oh yeah, advice: There is no illness that Jagermeister can't cure. Or at least make feel better.

Can I give a little shout-out to another recent addition to the monkey baby club? Pardon Jr. (aka Drew), pictured here with big sis Jillian, was actually birthed back in September, but since I didn't do the squeezing I didn't mention it at the time.

I still haven't decided if I'm gonna let Drew play with Thomas. I've heard some things about his mom ;)

We 9622ers sure are a fertile bunch, aren't we? And we love to show it off.

Congratulations, pardon me. You should have told us!

Look at those sweet little pardonettes. Aawwwww! I feel so mushy!

Congratulations to you, dejah!

We 9622ers sure are a fertile bunch, aren't we?

Well, I'm officially calling it quits at two. My wife seems to have other ideas. I'll show her who's boss, though.

who am i kidding? she's the boss

I'll show her who's boss, though.

Yeah, just stop having sex. That'll show her! Wait a minute . . .

I, for one, welcome out new tiny, vaguely-parmesan-cheesy-smelling overlords.

Congratulations, Dejah and Pardon. Now go get some sleep, you're going to need it.

Do we need a Mini-Monkey Headcount? Put me in for one, male, 2.5 years, vessel of my karmic debt. Answers to "Gooch" or, more properly, "The Gooch." Best to wear safety glasses, though, Dej: the Gooch nearly put out my eye with a Marvin the Martian keychain a couple weeks back - tore the front of the back of my eyeball away from the back of the back of my eyeball, bruised the crap out of the holding-in-your-eyeball muscles and gave me what the doc called "a really nice-sized contusion" that fixed and dilated my pupil for about a week, rendering me VERY sensitive to light and more than a little freaky looking (since the other pupil behaved more or less normally). No permanent damage and no surgery, but DANG. Anyway, protect your squishy spots. Best advice I can give you.

Anyway, protect your squishy spots.

Them's words to live by.

I also recommend learning to shuffle in the dark. Otherwise, when striding foot meets elaborate Duplo creation, owwwww.

Parent defensively.

Two words, pardon: covert vasectomy. Then have all the sex you want! (after a couple days, you don't want to throw a stitch, you know)

i know everyone is glad that I have 0 children

fes, you're making eyeballkid squirm in his chair dude...

Oh baby Tommy, there are so many things to know, but here's a short-term lesson that may help later in life:

When you grow teeth, you will be very tempted (if Mommy is nursing) to try out your new pearly whites on Mommy's verrrry sensitive nipple. Aye, the temptation will be overwhelming. Please, please, please do not bite the boob that feeds you. Much unpleasantness will ensue. Trust me on this.

... As for the headcount, I have two boys. Julien is 5 and Guthrie (real name is Gabriel) is about 7 months old. Both are full of beans.

Please point a monkey in the direction of the thread where the little one's name is revealed.

she calls him Tommy on her weblog.

duh.

I'm with the purposely infertile, but still mighty, tayhota on the zero kids. But that's okay, because they're poppin' up everywhere around me. A close friend of mine's first child (a daughter) was born last year and I get to be her uncle. Then just last month another friend of mine gave birth to her first son at home. At home! She was in labor for 9 hours and since she wasn't on drugs, the midwife walked her around the house until the baby came. And now this month, sometime around Christmas, my brother's first child will be born and I will officially become someone's crazy uncle, the role I was born to play.

And a Wild book...

...for a Wild Baby.

I've got what I like to call "half a child" in Brandon, who I've discussed here before. He's now ten, and I've known him since he was two. That's sufficient time that he now posesses all my dubious wisdom, liberal biases and poor table manners, if not my DNA.

I'm pretty much satisfied with that.

ahem "whom I've discussed here before..."

Sadly, he's also acquired my grammar.

Well, took forever to defrag the computer, but I finally made it to this thread *whew*!

Welcome, little one!

*bunny snuggles*

Good thinking, Shane. I forgot that one.

Oh-and Dejah, enjoy these years...I know all too well how fleeting they are.

Leave the dust and rock the baby. Priorities!

Fortunately, b****, I don't know too many moms that still smoke the dust.

Heh, I'm happy with my kids. Here are a few of them. (Warning: Geocities.) (Hmm, need to get pics of the others up.)

Man, I need to get some work done, but I keep checking in to see if the little monster is independant yet, freewheelin' in the oxygen-breathing world...

Make that dust bunnies.

HELO.

Did you know that, in France, dust bunnies are dust sheep? No kidding. Moutons. Maybe they count bunnies when they can't sleep, those wacky frogs.

And a Big Mac is a Royale, I think...

Royale, had to do with a burger with lbs in the name as they're on the metric system in Europe.

So Tommy in the tummy, still.

I'm off from work at three if I was down town I would just drop into the nurseries at Baylor or even Parkland....and just look for a Tommy tagged child in blue. Anyone besides myself always visit the nursury before leaving a hospital? It always cheers me up:)

some advice for dejah (warning: kinda gross): from our jan. issue of the mag:

Is That Salad in Your Bra? Placing a cabbage leaf in your bra is another engorgement remedy. Keep the head in your fridge or freezer, and after you nurse, tear off a leaf—it’s conveniently breast-shaped! Wear it behind or in front of a nursing pad, whichever works better; the coolness can ease soreness...

see what i have to read about all day?

would you prefer ranch or vinaigrette dressing with that? And what wine to serve with milky cabbage?

whoa, not to de-rail, but the fish-o-phile finally found himself a blog. congrats, mr. fucker.

1/4-lb-er = Royale!

what til i post what they say about post-partum hemmorhoids (sp?) uccchh!

My uncle Tommy use to call breast for the lil ones, Stop & Goes.. on the go...

wait a sec, Thom, dejah's baby is your uncle? whoa!

this may be getting very odd, since at one point I was called Tommy, but only by an uncle I don't particularly care for.

so Me == dejah's baby == Thomcat's uncle?

oh that cannot be right

i'm confused already, and i ain't even born yet!

tj has come full circle.

Astrophysicists have theorized that everyone will be called Tommy for an unspecified time in either future or the past, quantumly speaking.

This is known as "The Tommy Time Construction".

The giant Doc Martens are irrelevant.

ok, the Kakfhawkins apparently knows about my footwear... now I'm really scared.

I actually dreamed last night she was thinking of using thom but decieded not to because of catspike.

My last name starts with Thom(not my birth name)my dad is Thomas, my mom's brother Thomas, Great Grandfather he was named after, and most of my life I was called Thom, because of my last name, Paul not so popular.........

i think catspike would be an incredibly cool baby name!

My, what veiny breast you have. Oh, excuse me...I didn't know you had cabbage in there!

Hey, I love gabbage rolls..........mmm and also one of the fist table foods my brothers were able to partake in, as they were mushie.............

i'm late, but congratulations anyway - little baby dejah must be quite cute.

so does anyone know if she had it yet?

I don't know, but I hope she's ging to dress it up in very humiliating costumes as soon as possible.

My first online baby was Max, Kafkaesque's nephew. Tommy's my second. How old is that little Lord Flaunteroy now? I expect he's just breaking into the silk pajamas/dressing gown tied with a tassel tradition as we speak...

Hey, congratulations, Dejah.

The sum total of my parenting advice : don't let him/her see Jaws until well into their 20s.

Seriously, you're statically more likely to get killed by a golf ball. It's a dumb fear to carry around all your life.

statically = statistically

What's up with the no news? Is she lying around dialating and having contractions and all that, I mean, what's she got to do that's so important that she can't get outta bed, find a computer, and keep us posted? Selfish, selfish.

You expect a modem jack in a hospital room?
Besides, having a baby is pretty strenuous work. (Believe me, I know, having done it three times.)She's probably sleeping it off or something. Not to mention feeding at that stage occupies a fair amount of time.
Patience, my fellow simians, patience! I imagine we'll get the Big Announcement tomorrow.

Feh. She's probably done by now. I bet she's just sleeping and shit.

Come on - enquiring minds want to know what has happened. Didn't she take her notebook with her?

My advice - don't take advice from anyone, learn everything yourself. Oh, and be good to your mother (you may want to borrow money one day).

Actually bunny, a lot of hospitals have wireless networks these days. No excuses! She could at least send a proxy monkey around and let us know.

A live video feed from the hospital would have been nice... Or not.

Is the baby to be called Tommy or is that short for Thomas? We had a baby three weeks ago and called him Thomas. I hope it isn't going to be one of those names that every second kid ends up with.

More Children of 9622! congratulations dg.

Isn't it about time for Mr. and Mrs. ColdChef to crank one out now? They need to get started if he's to build a little army of mini-chefs...

And hopefully they will not look like this in their later years. Nick Nolte meets Flock of Seagulls. Flock of Nolte.

dude, that looks like my bedhead only whiter.

maybe I should get a haircut?

The poor man's Nick Nolte. In case you can't afford the real deal.

If one of you vineswingers wants to post them for me I might be persuaded to put up pics of my illustrious offspring in a day or two. On the other hand my son looks like a serial killer in his JROTC uniform (it's the facial expression)and I don't want to frighten anyone.

Don't mess with the Buse.

I just tried calling Parkland and Baylor, and Dejah(I have an old e-mail from her with her name on it) was not checked into either....if any one knows of some other hospitals I'd be glad to call them too.

Yes, anathema, we should steer clear of Buse abuse...

TCS, if you want you can try...
Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas
Medical City Dallas Hospital
St. Paul Medical Center
Methodist Medical Center.

I seem to remember that she lives in Mesquite or around there though. Don't know the area well enough (or at all, frankly) to tell you where to start with that though.

Oh, dear. Oh, dear.

I love you guys and think you are well - intentioned, but I hope you're not thinking of looking for Dejah! I'm sure she'll let us know that all is well soon.

You monkeys are the sweetest.

Yeah, seriously guys. What are you, stalkers or something?

...(I have an old e-mail from her with her name on it)...

Listen, enough of this pussyfooting around De****'s name. Let's just get it out:

De is really Phyllis Diller.

Do we all feel better now? Just call her Phyl.

And I am (a somewhat conflicted) Space Ghost.

Call me Sir.

yeah, between this and my alter-masked-wrestler-ego going out of control in the Thanksgiving thread, people may think we're freaks or something.

I wasn't planning on doing anything. I just happened to have a sheet of paper in front of me with all of the Major Hospitals of Dallas County on it, so I shared some info.
~wink~

I'm hoping that TCS is just going to find out where she is and see if they've got pictures of the newborns or not (I know many hospitals do this now). Didn't mean to scare anyone.

Well, except Kaf. But he deserves it.

Freaks? Us? Why ever would they think that?
[evil laugh]bwa-ha-ha-ha![/evil laugh]

De is our soap opera.

Le Freak, C'est Chic...

FREAK OUT!

Yes, ufez you had my thoughts. As the Plano hospital had a link for newborns that's how we kept tract with the folks in our office recently.

You monkeys are the sweetest.
..........stalkers or something?

9622net:Monkey Stalkers of Sweets.

This thread is now officially creepy.

I wish I had photoshopping skills, I'd make a ribbon.

Great, yet another place I've got the unfounded rep as a stalker.

Why, God....Why?

see why sitcoms use births as plot devices to drive up ratings? I have refreshed this thread far too many times today, waiting for an announcement.

Let's uncreepify the thread by getting back to the advice for our newest monkey brother:
--the loose end of the TP goes over the top, not underneath, and definitely not on the floor,
--do not try to flush the entire roll of TP, and
--just because the doggy drinks toilet water doesn't mean you should taste it, too.

Just because it costs a quarter, that don't make it a carnival ride.

I don't know what that means but I just made it up and it sounds dirty.

**gives kaf a quarter**

Guys, that woman is at home by now. If she went in Tuesday, I can guarantee that if it was an uncomplicated delivery she checked out this morning at the very latest. They don't keep ya in the hospital long these days. In fact with my first (born in a "birthing center") I went home the very next day.

Just because it costs a quarter, that don't make it a carnival ride.

That's good. I could use that in a positive spin:

"It cost a buck so it sounded like a carnival ride to me."

Very noir.

9622: do not try to flush the entire roll of TP

Isn't it about time for Mr. and Mrs. ColdChef to crank one out now? They need to get started if he's to build a little army of mini-chefs...

Posted by: ufez on December 5, 2002 10:14 AM

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh!

*Think of the baby. Rescue the thread.*

So, here is some good advice: Always go to Uncle Fes for advice about money. Always go to your Aunt Tizzie for a hug. Always go to your Uncle Miguel for information on how to be sauve, debonnair and continental. And go to your Uncle Dong_Resin to ask about... ummm, other stuff.

And Uncle Jon for lunchbox snack ideas Mom will love!

How about a badge, Witchstone?

In our house growing up, my brothers were way yunger than me. My dad had one pet peeve with tikes, nothing but food goes in one's mouth. He use to cringe at the site of pacifiers sticking out of a childs mouth.(if had be take some sugar & wrap in cloth) It dawned on me one day while my brother was teething. Flip this frozen teething ring give him a frozen hot-dog. Because plastic is for toys...food is for teething right.

Plus with a hot-dog it gets tossed at some point, yet a pacifier is a recycled collector of germs.

This just reminded me of some odd explaining I did when a girfriend would find one of these raw half chewed on dogs inbetween the seats of my car.

So tommy please try to eat all your food so there will be less for mommy to discover at a later date when company visits. Especially these.

i hope she's ok...

...my brothers were way yunger than me...

I don't have brothers, but if I did they'd prob'ly be junger than me, too. (Hmm... Joseph Campbell on Carl...)

Crash, those badges are too cool! Both of them. If I wore a leather, I'd print yours out as a sticker and wear it as a patch on the arm. Yeah, that would get me dates...

Excellent work, Crash. Some of our little 9622 scouts are well on their way to the next level. Wolf or Bear or something.

Heh.

I am starting to get just a wee bit worried about Dejah.

I am starting to get just a wee bit worried about Dejah.

POST ALREADY!

I just sent her an e-mail, assuming she's home and either she or Tom have any time or inclination to go near the computer. I suppose a kid can be distracting, but I don't know firsthand as my cats are only a bare aproximation of wee humans. Sometimes more so, though, sometimes less.

We'll see. I'm sure she's probably okay.

I'm sure she's fine. Probably just enjoying hanging out with the new one, family, etc. If I'd just squeezed out an eight pound parasite, I don't think I'd get on the computer either.

Brand all stalkers later!

Tried to get too close to Tommy.

I'd be more worried about her if she was posting on 9622 two days after GIVING BIRTH.

Tried to steal him from the Hilfiger store.

Tried to take little Tommaso's t-shirt off.

Tried to steal him from the Hilfiger store. Again.

Sleepy kisses to little Tommys everywhere.

I could have posted SOMETHING if it was me. (Remember, I have experience.) Two minutes to relieve ape anxiety-that is all it would take.

**boohoo**

Everyone needs to chillthefuckout. :-)

Two minutes to relieve ape anxiety-that is all it would take.

So how was that Guns'n'Roses for crying out loud?

Damn! Posted 'em too small. You can't see the little "9622" badges on the shocktroops...

Someone once wrote a review of Vince Neil (later years) saying "Vince Neil's voice is worn as thin as spandex." I'm glad to say this is not the case with Axl. He sounds great. When you can hear him over the fucking "Sing Along With Axl Rose" that I was subjected to last night (every word of every song, except for a couple of new ones).

On the other hand, he looks like shit. Thank god he didn't take off any of the myriad of New York sports jerseys that he wore during the concert. He also ran back and forth along the stage like a rabid puppy--in white sneakers and shiny sweatpants. Sakes alive, I never thought I'd see the day I'd see Axl dressed like Run-DMC. Don't even get me started on his corn rows.

It made me miss the old guard. Axl reminded me of King Lear, in an odd way: a crazy paranoid egomaniac who has cut off everyone once closest to him and in the end looks kind of pathetic. I think I've gone about as fer as I can go with that analogy.

Although Slash was missed, I do have to sing the praises of Buckethead. Because he's an amazing guitar playing and also because he's Buckethead.

This concludes your complimentary concert review. Oh, and for jonmc, Tommy Stinson looked hot.

More stuff to take your mind off De: I just posted this comic over at MF (dbl post here!) (was Matt thinking about those initials when he created the 'Filter?) The 'toon is absolutely perfect. If you're familiar with Eno and his music, you'll understand why.

Oh, and for jonmc, Tommy Stinson looked hot.

Um, that's great..not that I look at Tommy Stinson that way...

when can I stop explaining?!!

9622.net: You can't see the little "9622" badges on the shocktroops

And thus the "tagline everything" reign of terror began.

anyone else think that kaf's putting food on the end of his name is just his way of flirting with jonmc?

Hey gang,

I'm back from the hospital and indeed, we have a new monkey! After 26 hours of labor, they had to do an emergency c-section, but it all turned out ok. I'm exhausted, but finally back home with baby in tow. :)

He's the most perfect baby of all time. I just know it. Also, he didn't have cone-head, so there's one advantage to a c-section. ;) He was born on 12/04 at 6:40 pm and weighed in at just under 10 pounds, and 21 inches long. (He's a big ol baby.)

Pictures will be forthcoming, as soon as I can remember to take the camera upstairs. I'm shooting for tomorrow, as the stairs are still pretty challenging.

Thanks for all your kind thoughts and words. In honor of you all, the first song we sang to him was the "No more monkeys jumping on the bed" song. (Tom's mom taught it to us. She's very cool.)

Anyway, I'm about to pass out, so gonna go take a nap till it's time to feed him again. Thanks again gang, pictures soon, I promise!

De.

Yay! Congrats, dejah! Glad everything is OK.

"He...weighed in at just under 10 pounds, and 21 inches long."

One word.

Ouch.

That c-section must have come as a relief.

Hooray! Congratulations dejah, and welcome to the world, Tommy!

Great news! Congratulations!

Miguel! Pop the champers!

26 hours of labor? Wow.

Congrats, Phyllis!

Ouch.

Count your blessings, moms. I was 14 pounds at birth, apparently.

Also "babies born a little bigger than average seem to grow up into smarter kids and young adults, scientists said yesterday."

....and good lookin', too!

Congratulations!!!

Woo woo woo!

That's great. Congratulations deja and family!

Someone start passing the collection hat. It's time to ante up for Baby's First Books.

YAY! YAYÍSSIMO!

*polishing champagne-opening saber, gets into regional costume, smoking jacket, extra-long cigarette holder, da woiks!*

Bless you little apple of your mom's eye; Mom and Dad and the good doctors and nurses!

I'd say by the time he took and the trouble he gave, we have a little aristocrat, beautifully indolent and expecting the best service from others...

VIVA!

{{{{{{Dejah & Tommy & Tom }}}}}}}
HOORAY!! Congratulations!! That's a BIG baby, and he's got some happy monkey aunts and uncles here at 9622.

no conehead?? You say that like it's a good thing.

Silly earthling.

Welcome Tommy........Congrats Dejah, I pray & hope your able to get some rest.

yippee!!!! i can't wait to see a pic!
congrats hon, and try to rest!
: >

Congrats, Dejah and welcome, Tommy! Glad to hear everyone's doing well.

Congrats dejah - ouch ouch ouch.

Awesome. Congratulations. Emergency cs are no fun, but aren't you glad you weren't trying some kind of water birth at home with a midwife?

Have a baby in water?

Pheh. My freind had her baby born in Jell-O. Poor kid dosen't know he's been born yet.

Doh...forgot to hyperlink it the first time. Sheesh, I'm tired. Also, Tom's mom is driving me insane. Really, what I needed more than anything right now is a pouting, passive aggressive 50ish woman, bitching about my 4 day old parenting skills and snatching my child away anytime he's not at the breast feeding.

And now children, we know why my husband hides my ammunition...

;)

oh, dejah! he's gorgeous! and big! (which is good-or so Am. Baby has taught me!) and his birth wasn't a trauma, which is good too! i hope u recover quickly...a hug 4 u! i'll post more recovery tips later!

in one ear and out the other for inlaws!
take care! and he really is beautiful! : >

Bravo! Cheers! Hooray! Pip pip! Good job! Um, wow!

(And he's cute as all get out...really! That hair! My word!)

Many congratulations, dejah et al.

He does look like Winston Churchill! Get that baby some scotch right away.

yay! picture perfect, put his face in advertisements cute, dejah. congrats.

(and I say this as someone that has never found babies all that cute).

Wow. He is a big boy--look at that first picture! And what a beautiful head of hair, too. Congrats, De & Co., all, I'm delighted everyone's safe and healthy and happy (if exhausted--)

(Going to stop lurking long enough to say:)

We have lurkers? Kew-Ewlll.

That baby is so cute I let out a little squeal.

I'm so happy for you.

Looks like a keeper. Congratulations again!

For once in my life, Oh Baby! is entirely justified.

We must be kept posted on at least a monthly basis, dearest Dejah - you know this, don't you? For the first six months babies basically train give their parents time to adjust. After that, they start smiling and concentrate on getting really cute.

And I bet you thought you'd fallen in love already...

Look at what the boy does to complete strangers and multiply by ten billion. :)

P.S.

We're spamming your mother-in-law as we speak.

I'd say he looked Portuguese but my mother once violently handbagged a friendly recepcionist in Madrid who said my baby brother looked Spanish.

Ah, thanks gang. :)

Thank you all for your concern and caring wishes!

And yes, Miguel, I have fallen in love completely. It's amazing, really.

Thanks again all.
QuackQuack! (that's OokOok! for all you primates.)

Hey-that kid only weighed 3/4 of an ounce more than my son when HE was born-good looking lil' feller!

on a different note-my computer died. I am writing this from my husband's workplace. I am suffering from intense internet withdrawal, but one thing has distracted me from all the nailbiting-*drum roll*

My son got a nomination for the Air Force Academy from Jesse Helms! Now all he has to do is get an appointment...this is Helm's last year (like Strom Thurmond only 20 odd years younger) so it's kinda, well, special.

For all you European types, it is probably easier to lay an egg than to get into one of the Service Academies.

So Dejah, I think it is true what they say about these big ole babies being brilliant!

A note about posting images:

We encourage users to post images, especially those hilarous pics of monkeys wearing dresses or programming for Linux. But posting images that reside on someone else's server is considered by many to be bandwidth theft. Our thoughts on the matter, along with some solutions to the problem, can be found here. Thanks.
