Why doesn't the guy just use the horizontal stretch feature on his monitor instead of whining?
Bat rays? We don't need no stinking bat rays!

He should be watching the beautiful fish instead of being focus on Jim's name. He must have a very narrow line of vision, tunnel vision, I think it is called.

Thanks to Morgan, Tiny Snapshots is up and running again with "Tiny Järvafält" as the latest addition – Go have a look and tell me what you think.

Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another." /Robert Oppenheimer on witnessing the first thermonuclear detonation in history. |

Yes, but what's the problem with that phrase?. Perhaps the use of the verb "to raze" is a bit exaggerated. Who knows...
I think every masterpiece should have the signature of the author in it, because every author should be proud of his work (and Jim surely does). I think that if you (not you, Tiny, i talk in general terms) don't like to see the signature of a masterpiece, then you're not admiring the masterpiece!. So this time i have to agree with Jim.

Razz: to heckle, tease, josh, kid, string along, make fun of, etc. Generally meaning to poke fun in a good humoured way.

Surprising...
It is funny on how different people react. I am so impressed with Jim's work that even given the option to have his name on it or not? I would PREFER to have his name, just as I would want a DaVinci Painting to be signed. My Wifes Family name is also Sachs, they are from Southern California too...
But sadly no relation to Jim. But we have had contact with him and he is a Gentleman. Like it has been stated before - You cannot Please everyone. I actually hope that guy that didn't want Jim's name on it gets his money back - He doesn't deserve a cool saver of this quality. Just my opinion. Why come to a Board with such nice, helpful people just to talk trash? I wish Jim the Best in anything he does... |
