paul 00:21 it takes online images and cutes them into userpics
Haha that struck me as funny. I want something that takes my image and "cutes"
it into a userpic. Though sometimes it seems some people have already found that magic and their image has been quite cuteified.

If 50 people donate just 1 dollar each (you can do it easily through paypal) then we can finally have what we really want...magnetic bumper stickers....donate now so we can get them asap! Your donation guarantees not only a bumper sticker but also automatic entry to heaven...don't worry i worked it out with those "abovee" and they ok'd this offer.

I wasn't looking for donations... I was trying to find parties interested in completing the event with me.
I can't believe you've invested that much money Paul. Let me say thank you.

First off don't take offense but lets say I wanted to give to Tour De Cour How would I give you the money? That means that only people who know you from off the website could donate. Secondly your post sounded verry ify. When I read that you havn't decided what length to do then I hear not commited maybe he will get sick of training and bail on the entire thing. In adition there are multiple cancer Charity events if anyone allready gives to them then why give to the tour. You are getting way over excited cause no one respondend to your post. I'm sure that if that charity is important to someone then they will give money.

I don't see why people couldn't contribute to both. As for estrip I put like 5000 hours of time in plus about $8000 at this point. You probably don't think about it when you use it, but websites like this require lots of time to create and the more people that join and find pleasure in using the site and publishing their ideas and lives, the more worth it, it was to my investment and to the community.
I think it's great that this time other people taken ownership and come through to help in promoting the site and making it grow. And by having it grow it brings more people to read about and promote their own events, such as the ride you are riding in.

this is an aweful lot of fuss over some bumper stickers. I posted yesterday that I would be riding my bike 60 miles in the Tour de Cure and didn't get one response. hmmm...bumper stickers or funds for Roswell Park Cancer Institute... bumper stickers or a cure for cancer???

My Two Cents about the ColonAs someone who has been around (e:strip) almost since its inception I just wanted to add my two cents about the colon. I definetely think it is a necessary part of the name. It just is like something that has been here all along and really the (e:) is almost a symbol for the site all on its own. I definetley prefer it being in the logo and the bumper stickers. It also forces the pronunciation of (e:) strip. Otherwise people could read it as estrip like how you would pronounce estate or estrace or estrogen and estrip would make no sense. So I think the colon must stay. I don't love the final design(the org seems unnecessary and makes things no clearer I blieve) but I do and always will love the colon.

Just so I don't go down in history as a colon-hater: Google works for both, but if you type e : strip.org right into your browser, you get a scary error message. As long as you figure out to remove the colon, or go and google it instead, you're fine. I was just suggesting a way to avoid potential confusion so the most possible peeps would get to the site and see the colon in all it's e : glory. I'm over it now. But for the record, I love the colon -- it's the HTTP protocol that's not so crazy about it, haha.

we kept the org to make it more obvious that it is some internet thing.

E:strip Bumper Stickers Fries and Da DipSo I gave up french frie and potato chips for letn and boy am i missing them right about now. I want some TC Jr's french fries with blue cheese so bad right now. Just one more week to go, I can't wait!!! Though I have saved so much money because without french fries I don't' even feel like ordering food anymore and so I have eaten out a lot less. SO that is good I guess.
Do you remember the song Da Dip from like mayb e8 years ago. IT went soemthing like You put yoru hand up on my hip when I dip , you did, we dip. I think it had something to do with Georgia Peaches too or something. Anyway it was a great song and my friend Drea lvoed it and I haven't talkeds to her in way to long , like since christams.
More importantly: Bumper Stickers! I am in charge of them and I want feedback on what design everyone likes best and how you feel about stickers vs. magnetic ones. ALso any ideas of local places where they can be made. THere are plenty of online sites but we rather use a local place if feasible. Plus,. don't forget to send in your donations, to fund this new (e:strip) endeavor!!1

Overheard in New YorkI am reading a book called Overheard in New York which just has all these snipets of conversations that the author has overheard in new york city. It is hilarious. As a people watcher/conversation listener, I love it. Here are a couple funny examples I think:
A woman on a cell phone:
uh huh....yeah....yeah..uh huh...the one you thought was underwear...yeah...uh huh
In an elevator:
Record company slave: Good morning!
Record Company owner: You okay? I mean..you weren't here yesterday.
slave: yeah, i know..my girlfriend's cousin died in a car accident over the weekend and-
owner: You got a girlfriend, really?
An office in midtownn:
employee: I bring my beer in the shower with me and I put it on the ledge so it doesn't get wet. Sometimes I also have a couple of shots in the kitchen.
in an elevator:
girl #1: Oh my God! I was so drunk this weekend, and now my legs are coverd in bruises. theylook terrible, you have no idea. I don't evne know how I got them.
girl #2: Ha-ha! I love when thatphappens. I love drunk bruises!
Guy#1: She stuck her lollipop in my mouth! nd she has herpes! ((e:lilho) remind you of a certain night at hardware?)
Guy #2: She has herpes?
in a post office on cell phone:
gay man on cell: ...and we don't want any fat German ladies in the house.
Girl: oh my god! And then all you'd have to do is puke on her and we'd all be even.
Ok so they didn't seem as funny them retyping them, but reading the book is fun. These were just some ones I found real quick, I will try and mark them as I read along in the rest of the book.
Girl: Well, everyone has herpes
