I logged in expecting to see my usual yellow and grey squares, but instead I get Jim's face all up and down the page!
It was... unsettling.
Not that Jim is an unattractive man or anything, but it seems that picture was intended to be a little on the creepy side, and seeing a dozen or so of them is NOT what I expect when I peruse through Firefox in the morning.
-
True it's rather creepy, but twelve Jims are better than one, eh? :D
-
Only if there are not working on counter purposes and delaying the important work that the One True Jim was working on. New material. ;D
-
Big brother is watching us! AAKKK!
-
I have the overwhelming urge to put a pipe in his mouth.
-
What, Mickey? Are you implying that Jim is channeling his inner Basil Rathbone? If so, I am soooo jealous.

I suggest seasonal hats. A nice Santa number for December, followed by something with a New Years theme--perhaps a top hat? For Easter maybe rabbit ears? ;)
-
*imagines Jim with Bunny Ears*
iz ded.

Look at it this way. Now you can say you feel his presence on every damn board in the forum. :D
Thought was lost in the wrong forum for a moment. The themes sound nice but it also sounds like potential death-by-giggles. We can try a colour theme. We already got silver-white winter, maybe a speckled black and rainbows like New Year's fireworks or pink for valentine's...
-
Heheh. We could have a lot of fun having Jim wearing different hats.
Of course, he already has a lot of hats on already. Successfull author. Husband. Father. Master of Bichon Frise (my grandma has had several of that breed). Interviewer. Masked Avenger fighting crime in MO, clandestinely. You know, the run of the mill hats that we all have.
In terms of hats, better get his Yamelke for the 16th (Chanulka). What kind of hat should he wear for Kwanzaa or the Islamic Holiday that usually falls around this time (which escapes my porous mind at this time...)
Coughing,

Why, fedora, of course. ;D
Ramadan and Aidilfitri's long gone sweetie, but he can try the tanjak and songkok. These are real formal wear (though the latter is usually all black). http://www.sriwarisan.com/images/2004%20February%2022%20BERITA%20MINGGU%20(Tanjak%20dan%20Songkok).jpg (http://www.sriwarisan.com/images/2004%20February%2022%20BERITA%20MINGGU%20(Tanjak%20dan%20Songkok).jpg) The one on the left is the songkok.
-
When is the holy day Eid-Al-Adha this year? That is the holy day that I was thinking about... Isn't that usually around this time of year as well?
The songkok is really cool. I would love to get me one of those. (It all stems from my repressed Fez envy...)

Ahh, that. 31 December, double food fest. I'm going to a neighbour's house for Christmas. Then I'm going back home to Old Pak Ashim's house and eat red meat. But back to JB's hats...
::imagine JB in a tanjak::
No. Way. ;D
Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee...!!

I just hope I don't get banned for this! ;D Jim, I just think you will be so HANDSOME in a hat!
-

Wouldn't it depend on the yat? Jim with a propeller beanie would sear the brain! Especially with his piercing gaze and the little grin he is wont to have.
I still think that Jim in a fez would be great.
A mystery quote another of my favorite series...
"Any plan zhat hew lose hyer hat, Zhat ees a bad plan!"
That can apply even here...

Nope...he just looks the evil brother of The Right Reverend Bob Dobbs, of the Church of the Subgenius.

Ohhh, good heavens. <Blink>
Ummm.
I respect Jim more than him.
Err.
It is ... err... a startling resemblance. Nothing more! Damn it! Nothing More!
-
Suddenly, I feel MUCH better! ;)

That explains Basil Rathbones prolific acting career. He was a magician who was able to sway the masses. Hmm. I wonder why he never conjured up an Oscar for himself.
Oooo.
You are refering to the Jims? I can't seem to start a soulgaze with a picture. I must not be a member of the Bone family.

Jim has just admitted to his fondness for the tinfoil hat. Any of you avatar geniuses up to the task? :)

Why do I have an image of an evil person using photo shop or other photo manipulation program to put a propeller hat on Jims picture
-
I do have another question that is just a matter of curiosity. Of the many Jim's, some of the pictures are much darker than others. Is this related to the amount of activity on the individual areas of interest? For example, the Dresden Spoilers picture is much darker than the one next to the Author Craft section.
-
darker images means there are new posts in that board since your last visit. faded means there are no new posts in that board since your last visit.
the old board did it too, but maybe it wasn't as noticable since it wasn't jim. it's a fairly standard feature on all messageboards.
*edited to correct booboo*
-
Well, do tell. I never noticed it before! The many Jims have already taught me something new. ;)
-
The many Jims are rich with wisdom.

It used to be a yellow square versus a black one. It was much more noticeable then.

However, IIRC there is an important difference. With the old system, if you clicked on the "new posts" marker, it marked the board as "all read" which was really annoying. With the new system, it jumps to a "new posts since your last visit" scan which is indeed l33t and k3wl ;)
The new links at the top for "new replies to your posts" and "unread posts since last visit" are helpful also: the former is usually my first port of call, having jumped here via an email alert.
HTH HAND

I was zoning earlier this evening and I could almost see a fey-like glow coming from his eyes.
It was...
... like creepy, man.
(Channeling my inner Shaggy...)

-
Its like Jim sometimes becomes a shade! Very creepy. :-\
-
Iago, we have to do something about Nedd. He's starting to notice the mind control java applets.
Oh crap, posted this on the wrong board.

I safe from your evil Java Applets! I have my tinfoil diaper on!
Muuuhahahah!

There are some REALLY strange people hanging out here. 8)

*is having difficulties finding good enough picture of a tinfoil hat to edit onto picture of Jim*
Hey Shannon, can you just take a picture of the real thing for us?
-
Shiggy, you are officially my HERO! :-*
-
*bows gracefully* OW! *picks self up off of floor* Oops.
I even tried fake photoshopping (painting) one on last night. It looked all kinds of wrong. And not remotely tinfoil like. *sigh*
-

I usually don't post non-comments like this, but...LMAO (http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/generic/8ba2/).
tinfoil diaper...
the mental image...
I need bleach. Please, someone, bleach? For my hair. Hopefully it'll soak through into my brain. At the very least it'll make me blond.

I *love* ThinkGeek.
The biggest problem with the tinfoil diapers are the fr*gging weggies! It is like having tinfoil pinching your short and curlies instead of tickling your crowned and capped teeth. Either way.... OoooO.

Oh God, no. mental imagery going overload :o. Must be the applet's fault.
Hey, if the tin foil hats are good enough, maybe we can get a petition to put it at the back of the hard cover on Book 10 ;D
-
Have you checked out the Wizard of Oz tinman hat? I kind of picture that, perhaps with a puff of smoke, indicating deep thought processes, coming out the top. It is a favorite mental visual. :D

When ever I think of a 'puff of smoke coming out', I see a resistor (circuit element) that has fried and 'let the genie (or magic) out'. Hence the image of Jim with a tin man hat on with a puff of smoke coming out of his head .... worries me.
We can harvest his brain at a later time for upgrades or repairs. Right now, we need him busy working, even if his brain has blown a resistor or fuse.

It took my eyes a second to work out it was a face...
"What a strange pattern these icons ha-...AW MA GAWD ITZ JIM BUCHA"
-
Dun! Dun! DUUUN!
Its the Tinfoil Fez, because for Jim, only the best tinfoil hats will do!
(Just hoping that I don't get in trouble with the 'folks upstairs' for adding more Jim-ness to our lovely little world.
-LN
(P.s. I will NOT be doing a tinfoil diaper and adding to a picture of me, never fear...)
-
ROTFL
Thank You Lord Nedd, after today at work, I needed that new image of JIm to brighten my day!
*bows down worshipfully*
-
The tinfoil hat is great, but is there any way you could size that down to a normal icon? It messes up all the pages you post on, at least for me. (makes your posts waaaay longer than they are).
Thanks. And again, great job, I couldn't get one to look right when I tried it.

Seconded! Seriously, great job on the tinfoil hat, but please scale it down to normal icon size. It really breaks the continuity of the threads you have posted on.

Ok. I have resized it a bit smaller.
Sigh. That is what I get for being creative in the wee hours.
Incidentally, if anyone who, like our fave skull thinks that "Size does matter!", I still have posted the full sized one in all his JimB bigness on the same site as the other.
Just follow the path of the image (and remove the _2 from the image pathname to get it).
Hopefully that isn't too obtuse of instructions.
-LN
-
Brilliant, Nedd!
-
What is scary is *how* well it seems to fit him too.
The rakish angle to his hat, the counter angle of his "Spockian" eyebrow raise. The parallel smirk that flows along the lines of the fez...

No. 1 - The image = AWESOMENESS ITSELF. Seeing that the second I get on the boards, still half-asleep, made a good way to wake up.
No. 2 - SPORK, ZOMG! (http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/tools/8ace/) I am in love with ThinkGeek now. Must. Get. Money. To. Buy. Shirts.

LOL
I wonder what Jim is thinking now that he has his hat on
-
He is thinking whatever he wants to think, free of orbital mind control laser influnce.

True it is proven that tinfoil hats protect you form the influence of those evil mind controlling rays......

I see your avatar. Not only you're one of the most knowledgable Dresden fan, you're a real JB fan. You are offcially on my 'must-be-careful-of' list. :D :o :D

Heh heh.
If he were to come up to Seattle, I probably could make a tinfoil fez for him. I don't see him doing so though, as we are too far from the big cities.

Seattle as in Seattle Washington.... I would have thought that would have been a "big" city by defination
