Hope y'all like the new layout and please let me know what you think about the font colours and background as I want to make sure that it's not too hard to read.
Cool, it even showed me the picture in the, "Your pictures has been added," pop-up to show that it works. Still carrying on with the Hilton Head theme, this was taken from the balcony of the condo. The picture above was taken of the row of houses in the background... see the blue one? There was some fancy photoshop editing done to remove the guy on the boardwalk that would not get off long enough for me to take the picture. Betcha can't tell where he was?
Still in Hilton Head, I scoured the beach for hours looking for the perfect umbrella scene. This was the last day and I'd given up and left my camera back with my stuff and was just out looking for shells. I stumbled upon this one and had to go all the way back... it was worth it though.
Another beach wander in Hilton Head. Living in Tennessee sure did make me appreciate the ocean. You don't realise how much you miss it until you see it and smell it again.
This chick had no idea I took her picture. That's a shrimp boat in the background. There were always lots of them out there. It made me think of, "Bubba Gump Shrimp."
This is pretty much self-explanatory. Found this on one of the days I was wandering looking for my above umbrella scene.
Ok, well I must say, beta wins my vote. I'm doing it at what's usually the busiest time of day and with pictures that haven't been resized and it took them no problem and uploaded them even faster than the compressed pictures I used to put up... that was if it even took them. Alright everyone, it's a need to upgrade. I just recommend saving your HTML format of each of your posts to word perfect before upgrading because in the help forum here, there were people that lost their posts so just make sure you do that to prevent if from happening. The userface is a little more user friendly than the old version but if you could figure that one out, you should be able to figure this one out. Any questions, feel free to ask me.
Off to have coffee with Liss. Check the comments as I'll get another game going in there too. Feel free to still play the old one too as I know I will be. ;)
'Til we meet again...
159 comments:
Ok, since we're in games mode and all seem to have a pretty good grasp on the alphabet, how about doing the same thing but with bands...
A = AC/DC
Another game...sure, why not?
B = Blues Traveller
BTW Kim, I love those pictures! I haven't seen them before, you did a great job. The colors are amazing! See ya soon for some coffee I guess! :)
Here I am for coffee but thought I'd give Coll something to do while we're gone for it.
C = Creedence Clearwater Revival
Two C's, double word score, as Darcy says... beat that!
Heehee, you crack me up Coll! :D
E = Eagles (it wouldn't be right without it)
Woo hoo...glad I get the letter F..a double word score for me too Kim!
F = Foo Fighters! Put that in your pipe and smoke it! :)
Haha... we're on the ball this fine snowy morning,
G = Goo Goo Dolls
Sorry Coll...hee hee!
I = INXS
Can't wait for festivus! And it's hard to believe Daniel is almost a year old...man the time is flying by quick!
Yes Coll...we are getting old! You don't have to remind me (just wait till you have to add a 3 behind that 1..meaning Daniel's age). Scary stuff! You can especially tell how old I am by this entry..I couldn't resist, but it's another double word score...ha ha!
K = Kris Kristofferson
how about Los Lobos.
Darcy
Marilyn Manson
Darcy
N = Nine Inch Nails
We are old girls. When you start wearing footless tights (and you don't dance) and legwarmers for the second time, you've been around too long... and in denial.
I have to say I haven't quite reached that point yet...Thank God!
0 = Ozzy Osbourne
Excellent Smithers!
Heehee, have you not seen me in my tights and/or legwarmers? I'm even ahead of the young 'uns at work. I think those were the only styles I liked from the 80's and they seem to be done with more taste now... or is it that I have taste now... aahahahaha!?
P = Pearl Jam
OMG, the jeans you had to lay down on your bed to put on and have a friend help you take off. They're back too, sadly enough... with stilettos yet. My perm never went away. All those years and apparently my natural curl came on with puberty. I haven't had a perm since early Glamour days. Now I wish it was straight like yours.
Here's hoping we take a detour from the mall bangs too. At least the music's still entertaining.
R = Ratt
Heehee, speaking of 80's. :D
Oh the memories! Good times girls..good times! :)
S = Sarah McLaughin
I was gonna put "Stones" but that would be kind of cheating wouldn't it? Kim you wasted the "R"..shame on you!
I was going to but it had to go with the 80's theme so Ratt it was.
I'm gonna use the, "The," so I can nab my two points...
T = The Tragically Hip
Alright, alright, I'll take the next one too as I suspect that you guys don't want it. ;)
U = U2
I don't think V's going to be any easier though... good luck!
Hey Kim, I dig the new clock! I'm really liking your new setup. On with the game ..time to get ready for work!
V = Veruca Salt
Thanks Liss, thought it kinda summed up my liking for the paranormal too. Darcy bookmarked the link for the clocks for when you guys get your switchover done.
W = Wilson Phillips
The only X band I can think of at the moment is XTC (ugh).
Melissa, since you gave Kim static for picking Ratt over the Stones (good call btw), I gotta give you some for naming Veruca Salt before Van Halen! For shame!
Yeah..yeah! I guess I deserve that...where the heck is my brain?
Y = Yes (Owner of a Lonely Heart)
For some reason we keep going back to the 80's..
Z = ZZ Top, of course. :)
Back to A...?
hey kim, sorry i missed the game, but most everyone knows i'm not good at music groups!!
you've got some really great pics there, looks like a beautiful spot!!
Why the Hell not
A=Alice Cooper
Darcy
B = Blues Brothers!
[double letter score]
Ca-ching!
OK..I was gonna say "Christmas Carols", but I guess that's not a band! Guess I'll go with...
C = Counting Crows
Count 'em up folks! Heh heh!
First glimpse Coll, we (at Skidd residence) thought it was dildo... heehee!
E = Evanescence
F = Frank Zappa
Get ready...here comes another double word score for Lissy!
G = Gary Glitter....ha ha!
I think we should start keeping score here...:)
Carrying on with the 80's theme...
H = Huey Lewis (don't forget the news)
I = Iggy Pop
J = Janice Joplin
Hoh, another 2 pointer!
This is a terrible one, but it's early morning, I'm tired...
K = Kanye West...ugh!
Were you up past your bedtime last night Liss. :D
L = Los Lonely Boys
M = Monster Magnet (good for 2!)
N eh... I had this one last time too. Drained my two words too...
N = Nirvana
O = Our Lady Peace
:)
Nice!
P = Pink Floyd

Q = Quiet Riot
R = Rolling Stones
heh heh
Good, glad we remembered it this time Brian.
S = Samson and Samson
Now that's one hit wonders 80's, plus 2 points... Yeah baby!
T = Tracey Chapman (one of my favorites)..:)
Glad to see the Stones was included this time..next time we'll try to remember Van Halen!
This is definately the last U I'm doing, it's hard!
U = Usher
I had a good one for 'U', but I'll save it for another round. :)
V = Valdy
"Play me a rock n' roll song..."
Hey Brian..what happened to Van Halen? LOL
Moving on..
W = Wilco
That's right, Van Halen wasn't used yet, it was only mentioned! And I give you a hard time for not using it! Yeesh! Terrible. Well, we all know what 'V' will be next time. :)
On we go...
X = X ('80's punk band from L.A.)
You can say that again.."Yeesh!"...hee hee

Good one! I still can't get a three point one...oh well..
C = Cutting Crew
Two more for me! :)
D = Disturbed... sorry, not exactly with it, too tired!
E = Eurythmics
F = Franz Ferdinand
Hoo Hah! 2 more points..:)
G = Gun N'Roses
I can't believe that they didn't get named yet. You people are all too worried about this double word score, leaving out a band like that!!
Gun n' Roses? Is that what Axl Rose is calling the band now (considering he's the only original member left)? :)
H = Hank Williams
Sorry to offend ya Matt..ha ha! Points are important too though!
H = Helix
Oops! That's wierd...we must have been typing our entries at the exact same time. Two H ones...I didn't think that would ever happen. Hee hee!
Who gets the points?
I = Iron Maiden
I say you get them..your answer was on 3 minutes before mine! LOL
J = Janet Jackson
Another 2 pointer! Woo hoo!
K = Killer Dwarfs
Now there's an 80s band..ha ha!
L = Loverboy
Everybody's workin for the weekend....ha ha! Not me!

Liss - 30 points
Kim - 25 points
Brian - 20 points

Once again, the letter U so here it is...

Phew, we managed to get another forgotten one in. Good job Brian.

The worst singer to ever grace American Idol. The sad thing is... he really thought he could. I can't believe the boy actually has an album out, sheesh!

Y = Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Z = Zombie (as in Rob)
Yup, had to cheat on that one.

(Wow, sometimes you have to name some really crappy bands to score points, huh? Yeeeesh :)
Yep, but sometimes it's worth it for extra points! :)
Q again..I'm really starting to hate this letter!

W = Widespread Panic
X = Xscape

Liss - 52 points
Kim - 43 points
Brian - 35 points

If anyones interested..these are the totals since last time they were added

God I love the 80's metal bands.
E = Electric Light Orchestra
F = Fiona Apple
Wow, this post is long.
G = Gin Blossoms
Yep, it's pretty long!
H = Honeymoon Suite
Ok, I just thought of three for the letter, "I," but after scrolling, Brian used two of them and Liss used one. I don't think my brain's working enough for this...
I = Incubus
Hmm, hard to name a new one. Here goes...
J = Jamiroquai
K = Kenny Loggins (man with beard responsible for some excruciatingly cheesy '80's pop songs, such as "Footloose" and "Danger Zone")
OK...is this a dig at me Brian? :)
Kenny Loggins may be cheesy, but I LOVE him!
L = Lou Reed
M = MÖTLEY CRÜE
Sorry Melissa, I wasn't aware that Kenny Loggins is your imaginary boyfriend! Maybe I should have gone with Rogers instead (Man with beard responsible for several goofy '70's c&w story songs, some cringe-inducing romantic duets, and generally horrid acting in various made-for-TV movies...but he also put out some damn fine chicken.)
"It's the wood that makes it good."
N = Nena (99 Red Balloons...)
Yeah Brian, I figured it was time to let the world in on my little secret...heh heh!
O = Offspring (Pretty Fly For A White Guy!)
Ok, so what's this... we have to name a song after from each band that somehow pokes fun at the last person who made a post!!
P = Pantera (Sad lover)
Ok now Matt, if you're playing by the new rules, that just makes yours very sick and twisted. ;)
Q = Queen Latifah (It's Alright)
R = Rob Zombie (Perversion 99)
I only put the song title in brackets because I thought no one would know who the hell I was talking about! Talk about 'cher one-hit wonders...
Anyways...
S = Supersuckers ("Pretty Fucked Up" :)
By the way Matt, Rob Zombie was already mentioned (end of round 3).
Scorekeep! Dock Mr. McGloin a point. :)
Ha ha ha ha... You know, I've just gotten too lazy to go back and check them all out. Who cares... dock me the points... I'm a winner anyway!!!
Does anyone else have a problem when typing in the word verification. I can never get it to work on the first try, it ALWAYS takes two. And YES... I'm spelling it right! There's just something strange going on.
Matt, the only time I have to do it twice is when I take too long to put in my answer..
T = Tanya Tucker
Same here...
U = Uriah Heep ("Easy Livin'")
V = Velvet Revolver (a sucky band that I absolutely cannot stand..but V is a tricky one!
W = Winger
X = Xeronimo
Had to cheat on that one, thank goodness for google.
Ha ha ha..Winger!!! Now there's a band I haven't thought of in a VERY long time. I can't remember a single song they sang, but I do remember the singer's name was Kip and he thought he was "all that and a bag of potato chips"..lol!! He was so creepy!
Movin' on..
Y = Yngwie Malmsteen
I know he plays guitar..does he count?
Yup Liss, by this point, for these letters, we're so desperate anything'll do. Which brings me to my utmost act of desperation to date...
Z = Zamfir
Master of the skin flute!
Bong! Round 6. Have scores become irrelevant yet? :)
A = Air Supply
I looked this time just to make sure it wasn't already named.

Well, I finally get the letter D..woo hoo!
D = Def Leppard
E = Eddy Grant

P = Pantera
Q = Qwiksand
R = Radiohead
S = Sammy Kershaw
What's with all this country out of a girl who doesn't even like it? It must be the, "When in Rome," philosophy!
Sounds like it!
T = Tiny Tim
U = Uncle Kracker...or is it Cracker...?? LOL
Kracker. Rhymes with 'Fracker.' :)
V = Voivod
Aaah...now Tony would like that one! :)
W = Wasp

Anybody else ready to bury this one after this round as much as I am?
yep..I'm about done with this alphabetical stuff! I can't think of any band that starts with Y...somebody help! :)
Y = Yaz
You're welcome!
Hurry! Somebody do 'Z' so this pain can end. :)
Z = Zoobombs
So long, farewell, auf weidersan goodbye.........
Goodbye! It's been fun.
Good job guys, and Good-Bye Alphabetical Games! LOL
Thanks!
Alright, since this game's now null and void, I thought it'd be fun to see the tallies. Liss kicked ass, I must say... good job Liss!
Liss = 69
Kim = 58
Brian = 51
Coll = 11
Matt = 9
Darcy = 5
Well that was fun. Great job all considering how desperate it got at the end, after countless rounds.
Gotta go bathe some kids to get ready to go to their fathers.
Woo hoo! I actually won one? Excellent Smithers!
