Keiva asks How about a current madonna-and-child picture for Max's gallery, Hyla?
Good idea! Then Max can get rid of the picture of me!
If I read this right, Keiva, you're now one of a long list who have taken my name to be a feminine form. Seems jo and I run into this name/gender confusion more than most.

Hyla, you can be in the picture too, if you insist. 
You must have gotten quite a kick out of the previous post providing breast-feeding instructions!
& I bet you enjoy the confusion you've engendered (!), right? now if you want to edit your profile ... nah; too much fun as is.

[yobbity-yobbity emoticon] And what would you be if you were a female? A Hylette, maybe? And let's not forget my lovely Hilary, whom I hope to see back here very soon (psst, you forgot to post that you were taking a trip).

Jo didn't tell you he's a he, did she?
Erm, uh, no, but I seemed to recall a number of people in the past had made that assumption. Perhaps the search function on my brain doesn't work quite as well as the semi-functional one on this board, but that's how I 'membered it.
And just what is a yobbity?
And speaking of which, the trailer for The Fellowship of the Ring has been released, but it's only viewable in Mac format! I knew I'd regret working with Mr. Gates' system one day. AnnaS - care to check it out and report?

>my lovely Hilary
Yes, I still picture dear old Rhubarb in his tweed skirt, drinking pints of bitter and nothing he can say (or do) can persuade me otherwise. I think he's trying to cope with the beginning of a new academic year, for some reason he's expected to work as well as google, or in baby language, gurgle
Which brings me on to ...
I'm not sure Hyla was recommended to indulge in breast feeding personally (although I believe that the technology is available), still now you mention it Keiva, that's another image that isn't goin' away too soon.
Which reminds me, talkin' of images, now that Jackie and Tsuwm are carpal tunnels, does that mean that we are going to work our way through potential ailments. Just remind me to quit posting well before we get to the end of the alimentary canal! Haemorrhoid - now there is an image to contend with!

the trailer for The Fellowship of the RingAnna's not the only one with a Mac now. My architecture school made us all get Macs. Apparently Apple and the higher education community are very interested in how having all of us using the same platform will work out. I guess it's a new concept. I'm enjoying my Mac. (You can also see an iMac on PaulB's desk in his pic in the Gallery.) Anyway, I've had the trailer for a while now and I've viewed in numerous times. (It's very nice.) I don't see how it's in Mac format, though. I downloaded it, all 17 megs of it, from http://www.lordoftherings.net and it's in a Real Player format. You can't view it in the Mac video player, Quicktime. Maybe you're trying to download a different thing. Anyway, again, the trailer is nice. It's the same one that I saw in the movie theater. I'll try to give a basic run down of it.
Opens panning over forest then river with Gandalf voice over: "Legend tells of a ring created by an ancient evil, that gave it's wearer the power to enslave the world. Believed lost for centuries, it has now been found." Fades to view inside of Bag End. Door opens and picture of Frodo (Elijah Wood) appears.
Gandalf grabs Frodo's shoulder from behind, speaking frantically: "Is it secret, is it safe?".
Shot of hooded person on horse, then the ring in the fire. "This is the one ring, forged by the dark lord Sauron." Gandalf pulls ring out of fire, shots of masked person (Sauron I assume). "Sauron needs only this ring, to cover the lands with a second darkness." Shots of elven (I assume) women running among trees. Gollum-looking creatures and men with swords. Hooded men on horses. "He's seeking it, seeking it. All his thought is bent on it." Ring in fingers. View of windy path in forest.
Scene of Horses running across a bridge at night. Frodo voice over: "No one knows it's here do they, do they Gandalf." Horses knock down door. Text on screen: "ONE, It's power corrupts all who desire it."
Elven council. An elf (Faramir): "The weapon of the enemy is a gift, let us use it against him." Another elf (Aragorn): "You cannot wield it. None of us can." Another elf (Legolas Greenleaf): "The ring must be destroyed." Shots of Mt. Doom with voice over: "It was made in the fires of Mt. Doom. Only there can it be unmade." Huge army. Ruins of old castle on a hill. Text on screen: Only one has the will to resist it" Frodo: "I know what I must do. I'm afraid to do it." Shot of Frodo and Elven woman (Galadriel, I think). People on canoes with voice over: "One does not simply walk into Mordor." Group led by Gandalf walking in cave. Frodo voice over: "There is no other way." Text on screen: "A Fellowship of nine must destroy it." Frodo and others looking wide-eyed. Music stops. Frodo: "There's something down there." Voice (guess who): "My . . . preciousss." Growling. Pause. Majestic music starts with hooded men on horses. Numerous scenes of battles, horses running, people kissing, etc. Shot of Frodo putting the ring on. Then screen shows "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring." View inside. Aragorn asks Frodo: "Are you frightened?" Frodo: "Yes" Aragorn: "Not nearly frightened enough". Text on Screen: "The Trilogy Begins: December."
That was a mouthful. It's a very cool trailer. Somewhat inspiring. I can't wait till December for it to come out.

And just what is a yobbity?Oh, you know, like in the cartoons when a character gets beaned on the head, sees stars for a minute, and then shakes his head side to side, with that yobbity-yobbity sound! Jo f, did you forget to mention Rhuby's high heels, or did he not want anyone else to know? Carpal Tunnel---geez! Though I did get a cute suggestion today: that I might eventually get to fall out the other end. "Cap'n Carpal reporting for duty, sir".

"Cap'n Carpal reporting for duty, sir".Now, was the Louisville Slugger taking a swipe at me, then?  I'll have you know, my good lady, that I've barely made Pooh-Bah. I'm still several hundred posts off having a limp wrist ...  And would YOU ALL STOP POSTING IN WHITE? I may get carpal tunnel early wielding the mouse to highlight the bloody text! And you wouldn't want me to get angry, now, would you? 
The idiot also known as Capfka ...
