The .gif Friday Post No.94 – Trouble in WorpDress City: Reanimating Animations UPDATED

[See update below.]

Folks, many of us who use WordPress noticed recently that our posted .gif animations won’t animate once posted, even though the animations work in the “Edit Post” view, like this one:

Inkwell Clown_Graphics Interchange Format 090820

The .gif file above and the one I posted below are from the same file, but the one below runs.  The solution is easy… unless you have several hundred .gif animations already posted on your blog, like we do.  I hope WP fixes the glitch.  TechTalk continues below, after the break.

Quick! Run and tell WordPress!

Meanwhile, here are a couple of Buttheads.

NOBODY can play the jukebox like Brando.

Some Be Hatin’ on my Babe Magnet.

Bucks 'o Babe Magnet_ZanyPickle 090612

Wow. Somebody put a lot of thought and effort into magnetizing this 2006 Chevy Impotent while at the same time cleverly advertising his lack of graphic talent. So let’s break it down.

The windshield motto indicates that the owner of this beauty, Tyrone, has a prison record and we taxpayers certainly paid for his incarceration “All Day.”

It’s also intuitively obvious to the casual observer that he reads Playboy for the advertisements. The symbolism behind four pairs of red dice and the dollar signs suggests that Tyrone fancies himself a gambler, and he patronizes crimson casinos exclusively.

The front bumper indicates that at least two or more people hate him, and they’re all ex-girlfriends that he borrowed money from to recoup his lost wagers/wages.  I’ll bet it had something to do with his jail time.

The dashboard is carefully upholstered with a tailored moving blanket, and we can safely assume that the rest of the interior is similarly furnished. Pure efficient genius.

Then there’s the “Jesus” plate that makes it all seem better. Whatta ride.

sCrap. Another 10 Truths Meme.

honest-scrap_Soylent Green 090823

Although he blames others, I blame cbullitt for this. The meme requires the recipient (mwah) to post 10 True Facts about himself/herself (mwah also) and to nominate 10 more suckers. At this rate the entire blogosphere should be covered in a matter of days.  So here we go:

1.  The Beatles’ “Hard Day’s Night” was the first record I owned, and it was a 45rpm.  I liked the B-side better: “I Should’ve Known Better.”

2.   Once I played rhythm guitar for a LDS teen dance without knowing all the chord patterns for some of the songs, so I just turned my volume down to -1 and faked it.

3.  I understand trigonometry but not calculus.

4.  Terry Gilliam’s “Brazil” is one of my favorite movies, as is “The Caine Mutiny” and “Cool Hand Luke.”

5.  I’ve read David Kahn’s “The Code Breakers” unabridged version and understood a lot of it.

6.  I played the part of “Action” in a high school production of West Side Story, and I was a catlike ball of fury.

7.  I was born with heterochromia, but I’ve never suffered because of it.

8.  I can use the word “polyisocyanurate” correctly in a spoken sentence without stuttering.

9.  My ancestry includes Scottish, Irish, English, German, Swedish and 1600’s Italian royalty.  In other words, European Mutt.

10.  In the mid-1980s I decided to see how much junk mail was generated from information request postcards from construction industry trade magazines. The result? A LOT.  The name I filled in that generated the most unrequested junk mail was…  Bunk Strutts.

Now for the hard part.  In no particular order:

1. Notoriously Conservative

2. Amy Oops

3. Finnicky Penguin

4. Planetross

5. Phil

6. Dan@Rockhoppers

7. Archie

8. The Literary Horse

9. Chiquiworld

10.  Hanuman

Yep. It’s Time Again to Wash Your ‘Pods.

Wash Your Cephalopods_Demonicious 081128

Cold water, gentle cycle, no bleach, then line dry so they don’t shrink up. Cool iron only, no steam.

Wash them twice a year only, in March and August (it’s not too late for this season), and your hats should last a lifetime.

Better yet, have a ‘Pod Wash Party like we did last week. While the hats were drying, they cooled the patio as well.  If you folks have had a ‘Pod Wash recently, post your stories in the comments. (Don’t be shy… just about everybody has at least one tale to tell!)

Say, Have I Told You Of The Blog That I Made One Time That No One Knew About But Me Until This Post That Has Had No Views Except For The Unrecorded Ones By Myself?

[FinPeng has had this post sitting around the TR “Almost-Done” file long enough. Back to our credo: “When in doubt, throw it out… there.” I have no idea what he’s talking about, but he’s still a good guy.  –Bunk]

Why, you ask? No, you don’t, but I’ll answer myself!

I get weird sometimes. But I won’t let this post get too out of hand. I’m going to focus on one subject and go with it. Therefore, I’m finding a somewhat uncommon noun from this random word generator. And the word is… “funicular.”

What do you know? It’s a railway that’s on an incline. I was on one of them once. I’m  not really sure why I liked it, but I thought it was pretty enjoyable.

And the word of the day is right on that sign!
And the word of the day is right on that sign!

(Forgot to put in the picture’s source link on the day I put the picture in. Picture no longer where it was on google image search. If you find the source, that’d be awfully helpful.)

And that’s all I’ve got to say on funiculars.

Why did I make this?

Anyway, the link you should follow is this one.

Windows Service Pak 3 and stuff…

Folks–

It appears that I got the home computer buzzing efficiently, but I’m still tweaking it, installing necessary programs, uploading updates, downloading downdates, and lashing down the loose ends while adjusting the fuel mix and intake valves.  We’re almost there.  Meanwhile…

Here’s how I got indirectly sucked into blogging. Neatorama posted a link to a joke contest in 2007 that I couldn’t pass up.  Anita Bath asked if I’d like to be a guest poster, and after assisting me with posting for an inordinate amount of time, Anita Bath goaded encouraged me to start my own site.  Old news.

So here are the short jokes I submitted.  Some are very old, some are credited, some are true,  and some I made up. Continue reading “Windows Service Pak 3 and stuff…”

Saturday Matinee – Kill a ‘Dilla, Comma Song, Follow the Sun, Waiting on a Friend, Happy Boy

KillaDilla.

Jimmy Jones’ “Handy Man” cracked me up when I was a tad. I remember it as the “Comma Song.”

Del Shannon came a long way from 1961’s  “Hats Off To Larry.” This song made it to Number 9 in November 1964.

This is one of the prettiest songs the Stones ever did, not that they were ever known for pretty.

And because my computer has been reborn and hasn’t thrown up in over 24 hours, here’s a repost of  the late great Country Dick Montana & the Beat Farmers to sum up my current mental outlook.
