What, Mickey?  Are you implying that Jim is channeling his inner Basil Rathbone?  If so, I am soooo jealous.

-LN

Nope...he just looks the evil brother of The Right Reverend Bob Dobbs, of the Church of the Subgenius.

Ohhh, good heavens.   <Blink>

Ummm.

I respect Jim more than him.

Err.

It is ... err... a startling resemblance.  Nothing more!  Damn it!  Nothing More!

Ehh.

You fear Basil Rathbone more than Bob Dobbs?

If you stare at each of them for all sixteen seconds, you get a soulgaze.  :o

That explains Basil Rathbones prolific acting career.  He was a magician who was able to sway the masses.  Hmm.  I wonder why he never conjured up an Oscar for himself.

Oooo.

You are refering to the Jims?  I can't seem to start a soulgaze with a picture.  I must not be a member of the Bone family.

Jim has just admitted to his fondness for the tinfoil hat. Any of you avatar geniuses up to the task? :)

I just hope I don't get banned for this!  ;D Jim, I just think you will be so HANDSOME in a hat!

Wouldn't it depend on the yat?  Jim with a propeller beanie would sear the brain!  Especially with his piercing gaze and the little grin he is wont to have.

I still think that Jim in a fez would be great.

A mystery quote another of my favorite series...

"Any plan zhat hew lose hyer hat, Zhat ees a bad plan!"

That can apply even here...

-LN

Why do I have an image of an evil person using photo shop or other photo manipulation program to put a propeller hat on Jims picture

I do have another question that is just a matter of curiosity. Of the many Jim's, some of the pictures are much darker than others. Is this related to the amount of activity on the individual areas of interest? For example, the Dresden Spoilers picture is much darker than the one next to the Author Craft section.

darker images means there are new posts in that board since your last visit.  faded means there are no new posts in that board since your last visit.

the old board did it too, but maybe it wasn't as noticable since it wasn't jim.  it's a fairly standard feature on all messageboards.

Well, do tell. I never noticed it before! The many Jims have already taught me something new.  ;)

It used to be a yellow square versus a black one. It was much more noticeable then.

However, IIRC there is an important difference. With the old system, if you clicked on the "new posts" marker, it marked the board as "all read" which was really annoying. With the new system, it jumps to a "new posts since your last visit" scan which is indeed l33t and k3wl ;)

The new links at the top for "new replies to your posts" and "unread posts since last visit" are helpful also: the former is usually my first port of call, having jumped here via an email alert.

I was zoning earlier this evening and I could almost see a fey-like glow coming from his eyes.

It was...

... like creepy, man.
