It's red, for a reason. It's almost impossible to get the bloodstains off the button, without pressing it in the process.

Why do you think we always get the n00bs to [try to] clean the damn thing?

Any thing they clean off, they also add to. It's in the GiraffeBoard manual. See the 5th paragraph on page 42.

Anything really...

See that smiley face when you respond to a post (go advanced)? That's where they all live. I created lots of them - but I don't do gifs because I don't remember how!

Examples:

This is an old thread that tells you how to post pictures. You could host your images on a newer site like Imgur for off-board hosting. In-board hosting is a little trickier. I'll come back later when I have a minute to explain that way.

When I worked at the nuke plant there was an ironclad rule against hard hats in the control room. Because so many drooling idiots kept hanging their hard hat on a control lever that they had to ban them entirely.

Could you make me one? I am, after all, one of your best minions. I don't care what it is, I just want one of my own. Feel free to make it insulting if it pleased you...

So it was the Springfield nuke plant. You had to shoo Homer away in order to do your job? Was Smithers standing over your shoulder?

@C2H5OH - what do you think? It's your molecules running, beer in hand. I can edit if you want. Use : c2h5oh : (no spaces)



I've typed the letters and numbers so many times I have the formula memorized!

Cut and paste into Paint, shrink it, then save as a .png or .jpg.

Then upload in the sooper-sekrit Admin area into the smilie section.

Can they be bigger or does it have to be about that size? Cause a chihuahua sized version would be fantastic!
