Get 'em while they're hot... Clint avatars!

[Matt]

I am not as fond of the ones where Becky is all greased up, and displaying her wares  

Actually the greased up one is my favorite. I figured since you ladies come to the board and see hundreds of pictures of Clint, the least us guys can have is one or two of Becky. And, is Becky really displaying her wares any more than, say, Grace Kelly in this Hitch film?



Maybe it's the popsicle that does it.  

[allycat]

Well, in how many pics of Clint on the board do we see him 'displaying his wares'?

The difference between the pic of Grace Kelly and the one of Becky is that Grace is more of a classy lady, and she's not in her underwear Oh to look like her...

Popsicle, hmmm...over here we call it a lolly - an iced lolly I am rather partial to one of those myself, especially in hot weather. Ok, do an avatar of Clint in the handcuffs (if there is one) or at least, with the handcuffs, so that I can rival Christopher's current choice of avatar, and all is forgiven

I've just been trying to figure out these last few posts what the heck "wares" are?

How many avatars have you guys done now?

[Kal Varnsen]

I could make a few avatars of Clint's... butt, but I'd really rather not.

I intended to make some avatars before, but I never got around to actually making them. Until today. 20 The Good, the Bad and the Ugly avatars, which should be enough to please the GBU fans. Only a few of Tuco and Angel Eyes, but this is a Clint Eastwood message board. Some avatars look pretty similar, but variety is the spice of life.

Awwwww! Still, the ones you've done are very good, Kal.

Christopher -  from the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary:

wares

plural noun

1 small items for selling, in a market or on the street but not usually in a shop:
- Some displayed their wares on stalls, while others had just spread them out on the pavement.

2 INFORMAL

a company's products:

- The company must do more to promote their wares overseas.

Stick with me kid, and you may just get yourself an heducation

[Matt]

Nice avatars, Kal. Thanks for adding to the collection.

Christopher, I'm guessing there's over 200 avatars in this thread.

Yeah, I looked it up myself.

I was just wondering what you meant, and how it applied to Becky. (and no, I'm not really that naive)

[Matt]

You know, Clint doesn't get the handcuff treatment. But, I did include one shot of him looking at handcuffs. It's the first picture of the bottom row of the Tightrope avatars on the previous page.

Hope all is forgiven anyway.

[allycat]

Oh, of course it is! Nowt to forgive

I know, I did see the avatar to which you're referring, but I don't count that one as Clint doesn't exactly look like he's enjoying himself there I mean, it's just after a murder...what about handcuffs with him and Beryl...the 'with these no one can get to you, huh?' scene

[Matt]

I love that scene,    so I already did that one... way back when I posted the first batch of avatars. It's in the first post of the thread... here it is again:

[allycat]

Thank you Matt! Hmmm, I don't know how that one escaped my attention

Excellent...(in Mr Burns voice) I am sold on that one now...can't you moderators make space for a person to have two avatars on their profile, that way I can fit that one in next to my Jeff 'n' Clint one, which I am severely loath to give up

[Adam S.]

I know that it's not Clint-related, but would somebody be so kind as to make an avatar out of this-

Thanks

Adam S - Here's a picture of what your avatar will look like.  It's awfully dark.  Maybe Matt can lighten it up for you but I thought I'd show you this because you might want to look around for a picture that's not quite so dark.



I'll play around with it for a little while and see if I can make it somewhat lighter but right now, the only thing you can really see is his guitar.

Ok, how about this one: http://www.hpphoto.com/sessions/857701761372/37909316lg.jpg

Adam - your link isn't working for me.  Check it and make sure it's the link and not me.

[Brendan]

Yeah it's the link. It takes me to HP's Photo website.

[mgk]

Must be me......doesn't work for me in Netscape or IE.  

[Matt]

The link isn't working for me either.

I can play around with the picture that mgk did for you and see if I can lighten it up, but I can't host it. I had to put a moratorium on hosting non-Clint avatars for the board... I just don't have the space on my site for all the Clint-related stuff as it is.

Well, for anyone who wants a non-Clint related pic but doesn't have their own website to host it, go to ImageShack and apparently they will host any pic up to 850kb, free of charge. Of course, in order for it to appear here, it will have to be reduced in size to 65 x65 (I believe that's about the size of our avatars?) to work. I hope this is useful for you Adam, or anyone else who has been having problems in this respect.

[Matt]

Testing....



If that works, it'll be great. We've been looking for free webspace that would allow direct linking to message boards. Thanks, Ally.
