Also, it takes a lot more for me to be offended! lol

Well I pulled a DTS move on the surface in posting portions of a blog to convey how I feel right now, which did have to do with apartheid, so I just assumed....you know what they say about that.

PS, my picture is cut with the most ****ed up sizing, and I've been unable to frame it yet because it's got the strangest dimensions that are not what the website said they would be. I blame you.

Ok, then either you said it wrong or I read it wrong the first time around. I just don't know how I'm going to talk about it yet so I left it to other people for the time being to say it for me. There's no joy on my part, thought part of me feels like there should be, which is messing me up.

I accept full responsibility...but just think how valuable that print will be with JuLep's signature when he wins a Derby (and he will! )!

Yea, mine is like 21 3/4 by 23 3/4 which would work if it were 20x24 like it was supposed to be, but I can't find a frame for it. I went to Michael's to see about custom framing it, but even with their half off sale it was like $200, which is about 1/4 paycheck....I can't deal with that. So I'm leaning towards getting a 20x24 frame and just having Jordan cut it down to size for me.

Aka, never. Gambling is inherently wrong and should be exiled...like gays.

I've gotta look into that, cuz I'm sitting here with a print in a tube mailer with nowhere to put it, but that I can't afford to pay a ton of money for it!

I'm staying out of this pretty much as I want to remain true to my belief that we should not take a person's death as an opportunity to discredit him/her. I've heard him say some pretty outrageous stuff over the years, and I honestly think the "christian right movement" (defined by Falwell, Robertson and others...not me) has done a lot of harm to our society...no one man is to blame for that however. To clarify a point raised earlier, if my memory serves me correctly and I'm pretty sure it does, Flint went far beyond ridiculing Falwell in Hustler, he published at least one cartoon (may have been several) depicting Falwell's mother in hardcore sexual activities...I read Hustler in those days and I thought they went far beyond any level of decency (I think they were far worse than his Chester the Child Molester cartoons). Again, there is plenty we can debate about the man, but I wouldn't have appreciated those cartoons either!

My wife had Hobby Lobby do the matting for the Genuine Risk "collage" she put together for me, and it turned out sweet.

I've thought about that too -- using a green or yellow matte. I'll be sure to let ya know when I get it right :D

Well, one thing I never heard anyone say was that Flint lacked the balls to do anything. When he printed those graphic pictures of himself after he was shot, he proved that he'd do pretty much anything to be noticed.

Baaa baaa, I wish Papa was here...but I think that was one!
