LOL! Very funny bananas. Looks quite different in Firefox and Exploder.`
Yeah, completely different. In Firefox there are 10 rows and the groups pass through each; in IE there are 5 rows and the groups stay on their respective sides.
In Firefox the behavior is more complex--the groups of three stay together even as they pass through each other, but the banana pairs act as "shifters," appearing to switch allegiances among the three-banana groups and creating a kind of undulating "ricochet" effect from top to bottom.
I'm sure there are metaphors here and I await joester telling us what they are.
Damn it I wish I could see it on firefox, sounds like it's less of a team sport over there with all that dancing banana betrayal. It's probably happening because I used the Marquee tag without using tables (I used tables in the race horse crawls)
I was just happy to see that GIFs could be used in a crawl. There's a lot of exploitable opportunities here for animation and my twisted mind hollers out for synchronized swimming. I suspect that the syncing and unsyncing is due to simple math, the width of the GIF's in relation to the width of the marquee, but its something I like right now.
(I have to admit that the amount of tags needed makes me a bit crazy, might be easier to just try doing this stuff in Dreamweaver.)
Unless you are already enrolled in American Cybercultures AC23 you'll get nothing out of me! People pay for my wisdom now!
I had to wire money to his paypal account just to get a comment out of him.
I gather from previous posts that these jolly little assholes, and the genre they represent, are old hat. But my god, they're annoying beyond belief!
You don't love the dancing banana?
I think the perved-out hug is worse.
Hmm. I don't know about worse. I'm scrolling up and down here, trying to compare. I don't mind that little incessant weeper near as much. Although I do wonder about the infinitely absorptive property of whatever she's weeping into. That's gotta lead to a musty basement.
The weeping maid cracks me up because she reminds me of a sociopathic bride who cries when you refuse to wear the really ugly-ass bridesmaid's gown that she's picked for you.
(this is bitter experience doing the talking right now)
Do you have any photo documentation of yourself in the ugly-ass gown?
I ask that not out of any sense of idle voyeurism, but because I'm lost in admiration at your intransigence. I was faced with that dilemma on more than one occasion and never had the balls to refuse, and now I regret not having any pictures of my humiliation.
Oh, I've got a bridesmaid story ... this guy I know was getting married. His best friend (and best man) was going out with a woman that was not well liked. She really, really, really wanted to be a bridesmaid, but the bride wouldn't have it. Being a little (but not much) sneaky, persona non-grata asked for a swatch of the material, just so, you know, she could see what it looked like. They sent the wrong swatch. So she shows up in a dress made from the wrong fabric, and for the whole wedding day looked like a slightly mismatched bridesmaid. Wierd.
When the real bridesmaids saw the "wrong" dress, they were all like ...
(but with ugly ass dresses)
Mark, you describe a variant of the Stockholm syndrome that occurs within wedding parties, otherwise it's damn hard to be smug and triumphant in a princess seamed, puffy sleeved, shiny purple polyester gown with a drop waisted fully gathered skirt.
Just found a good uglydress site.
No pictures of me, M.jean, and thank god for that, I went on a legendary drunken tear on that occasion and my name is only mentioned in whispers now. (non-drinking Mennonite wedding, had to go to the reception in the banquet room next door to get the booze ... I was beyond embarrassment, that dress gave me super-powers)
