How about John Cale milking a goat?

― Horace Mann, Tuesday, 14 January 2003 15:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd buy that, particularly if he had a cheesy grin at the time (Cale not the goat).

― James Ball (James Ball), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 15:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Are you saying the goat's pleasure doesn't matter?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 16:04 (twenty-two years ago)

No gags about Careless Talk Costs Lives please.

Are you saying the goat's pleasure doesn't matter?

To the goat, yes. But it won't affect my purchasing decision. Unless I'm on a goat porn kick.

― Horace Mann, Tuesday, 14 January 2003 16:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Dang, I useta know how to post imgs

― Horace Mann, Tuesday, 14 January 2003 16:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Horace, if you've got a picture of Mark E Smith milking a goat then I think we need to see that too.

if anybody wants to give a quick tutorial on posting imgs, hint-diddley-hint-hint...

― Horace Mann, Tuesday, 14 January 2003 16:22 (twenty-two years ago)

I usually right-click on the picture, select properties and then copy the URL. I then put it in with an i in front of it. Let's see....

― James Ball (James Ball), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 16:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Where's the goat? I'm disappointed.

― James Ball (James Ball), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 16:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Thank you for that. I no longer need an ipecac.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 16:33 (twenty-two years ago)

okay, "select properties"?
"i in front of it"?
ya lost me
but that pic would not sell any mags

― Horace Mann, Tuesday, 14 January 2003 16:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Well you had the URL, so you didn't need to worry about the 'properties' thing. To get the pic up, you just put in the URL with ihttp in front of it rather than http.

― James Ball (James Ball), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 16:36 (twenty-two years ago)

oh, like this?

[this only works with ILx btw. It is one of Graham's *things*]

This one might boost sales at Blender

And here I was thinking this was going to be another Evertt Vs Fiona threads. File next to I Can't Believe They're Real

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 16:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I can't see their faces, which one is John Cale?

― Fred, Tuesday, 14 January 2003 16:48 (twenty-two years ago)

But that's just soft goat porn, have you got anything harder (purely in the interests of research, you understand).

― James Ball (James Ball), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 16:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Apart from maybe me, probably no one would want to touch....

why bother with pictures? bettah jus' PRINT yer statement of intent on a greyish cover in dem big fat capitals:

READERS, FUKK OFF!
(LIKE, FO'EVVAH!!)

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 17:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, but who *wouldn't* read that? I know I would.

― Kim (Kim), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 17:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Kim, the cover's just one half of the idea
the other half being that
(if dem dumb readers don't get it and still buy it, ie)
all the pages between the covers will be absolutely blank

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 17:47 (twenty-two years ago)

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 22:01 (twenty-two years ago)

i'd buy that donut's mag, y'know!
(provided the contents match the cover, haha)

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 22:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd buy it, certainly. But I wouldn't read it. I'd lose money on eBay for ruining the cover.

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 22:25 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd totally buy it. Jaz Coleman's thought on Jazz? Worth the price of admission right there!!!
