Real Pictures of VMK'ers - Post them here!

[threeboysmom]

Woot! I finally figured out how to post a picture.

Here is twinkieb, me and CL_randomknight in July

Twinkieb is a KID?? All this time I thought she was an adult! LOL! Nice picture, by the way!

Oh that is so cute! LOL I have been trying to see if I can get any "half way descent" pictures of myself, but no luck! LOL I am probably THE most critical person anyone could know, so finding a picture of me is one thing (I don't let people take pictures of me because I just know they will come out all wrong LOL) and finding one I like is another! LOL

slightly off topic about the picture thing but think of it this way. First today you are younger than you will be tomorrow and you probably look better than you will later for that reason . I try not to ever be really critical of myself in pictures even though I am not at all photogenic and there is always something I wished was not there but....

think about your family. When you look at pictures of a loved on that is not with you any more do you look at the bad hair or how fat they look or any of that other meaningless stuff? No, you look at their loving smile or their eyes or them. Try to remember that you are the most critical judge of all. No one looks at a picture of Grandma and thinks, "if only she lost 10 pounds and was wearing makeup that picture would have been better" We are glad to have the picture!

I say this because I am living proof I look back at myself 20 years ago in high school and I was a Goddess! Only I didn't know it. So I try to remeber now that when I am 80 I am going to look back at my 40 year self and think the very same thing!

ok lecture over!

I just have to say that is one of the most wise things I have ever read on the Dis! Thanks for putting it all in perspective.

Glad I wasn't the only one!

Yes, really. I was looking at a recent pic of myself my sis gave me and thinking "omg I am so fat". Then I look back at old pics and think "I was so skinny then..." blah blah blah. Of course, at the time, I thought I was fat. I guess I will always do that, but probably no one else thinks that! (I hope )

Thank you LisaInNc for posting that. My own mom almost never allowed people to take pictures of her. She was always the one with a camera. We have so few pics of her now. And I really wish that we had more now that she is no longer with us.

And what's even worse is that her grandchildren have no pictures of her at all. There aren't really any to give them. Especially from the time that they were really little and would want to remember her as she was at that time. And pictures are really doorways to memories.


OK. Back to thread.

Does this mean that we will now get the pleasure of seeing your picture?

Hey Bob...are all those VMK characters in your signature yours? I know it would be rough to have that many VMK games going at the same time, but just wondering!

...are all those VMK characters in your signature yours? I know it would be rough to have that many VMK games going at the same time, but just wondering!

Yes they are all my characters, but it is actually two pictures merged. The food clones (on the left) are one picture and the Mind Clan (on the right) are another picture.

So far I have found a limit of 8 characters showing at a time. I don't know if this is a limit of my computer's memory (448MB), the Shockwave program, or the VMK game.

One thing that people do not realize is that a character does not disappear from the screen until all the game browser windows are closed. I call a visible character that has been logged off a "zombie". What I do is open a window with an "anchor" character that has all the other characters as friends. Then I open another window, log in a character, place him where I want him in the picture, log him off, log in the next character, and so on.

Another thing I have discovered recently is that if you ask a "zombie" to be a friend, next time that character is logged on he will get the request. This will make my food clone meet and greet much easier. I will just bring all my food clones in and leave them there as "zombies". That way guests who want a food clone friend can choose which ones they want and make a friend request. After everybody has made their requests I can log on the food clones one at a time and OK the friend requests.

Ok, i know i am very late on doing this, but i am fairly new. So here are a few pics.

and here is one that hopefully will bring back the hockey discussions!!

I could SO score five hole on you...

not to sound cocky or anything

I will keep my comments rated G. That 5 hole closes faster then a VMK'er clicking accept in a trade for inferno! Notice the white pads, fools shooters into thinking the 5 hole is bigger then it really is. You fowards and your silly color tape.

You pads can be whatever color you want... my tape can be whatever color I want... and I WILL score five hole on you...

OK, I have to tell my funny story from spring 2004 when the Flames went all the way to the Stanley Cup Finals. My friend, who is not into sports, happens to work for one of the owners of the team, so had to start taking an interest (meant free tickets to some games - one of which she brought me to). She was having a little problem picking up "the lingo". She consistently referred to the "5-hole" as the "5-spot". We had many a laugh, as she told us how the puck went right into the 5-spot!

 

[puckstopper55]

lol, the 5-spot. I remember back about 10 years ago when Ron Hextall was on the Isles, and our own fans used to chant "5 - HOLE!". The running joke was that he tried to jump infront of a bus, but it went between his legs. lol

 

[MiakodaWDW]

Ok I've been to a few games and I have no clue what the "5 hole" is. Wait, before you tell me, don't. I don't care.

Keeping on topic, here's a pic:


My cat likes to get inside of stuff. It's funny.

~Mia~

 

[threeboysmom]

Glad to know that I am not the only one, Miakoda!! I was just going to post to say I have NO IDEA what a 5-hole is.....

And don't feel the need to explain, Irishhockey or puckstopper, I won't get it anyways! LOL!

Just continue on with your hockey talk and hijack my thread, that's okay!

 

[MiakodaWDW]

Hahahaha! Those poor dogs....they look so embarassed! The things we do to our pets...I need to find a picture of my cat in a pink shirt that is WAY too small for her. It's hilarious.

~Mia~

 

[puckstopper55]

A "hole", when used in hockey context, means a 'void' or 'hole', that when you are looking at the goalie head on you can score on him. I know that might sound confusing, so below is a picture to give an example.

Typical goalie stance:

 

[threeboysmom]

LOL! You just couldn't resist, could you?!!! But thanks for the visual - I do now understand!
