The tongue stuck to the flagpole is no doubt cool but the dialogue leading up to it is better IMO...

In a breach of protocol he skipped over the double dog dare and goes right to a triple dog dare... :hysterical:

I triple dog dare ya!!!!!!!

At home, my background is boring.

On the Mac at work, we have this:

Why isn't that 1911 cocked and lock?

I'm not a big fan of Apple due to their draconian policies, but I'm old Stevie, being a true Kalifornian, just loves that pic...so I like it too. :clap:

Actually if Apple produced an i1911 we could very well see a whole new generation of firearm enthusiasts. I know there are Apple haters out there, but they do make products that "Just work." Apple knows how to market their products, especially at the teens and young adult audiences. Lets face it, you can't walk down the street now without seeing an iPod or iPhone somewhere.

But it switches every 5 minutes on each of the 4 simultaneously running desktops to a random picture among these (http://s965.photobucket.com/albums/ae140/formfill/bgs/); all but one of which I took.

Pretty boring, its hard to find 5760x1080 pic's, so I've had to take to making my own.. then I realized I'm a mediocre photographer with even worse photoshop/automerge skills.. so I joined a website and downloaded a bunch of other peoples 5760x1080 wallpapers haha

It's not as bad as some are making it out to be. It's a very fun movie as long as you can ignore the "greenie" crap.

My friend got one of these just to mess around with. It is way for fun then you would think. Fun if you can't shoot real guns in your backyard. Good stuff for $20.

All of my backgrounds are boring, but I use a lot of different operating systems/VMs on many machines. I only keep the hostname/IP on a plain colored background as a way of knowing where I am in many VM and remote sessions. We also have a lot of restrictions that prevent customization of the desktop and other settings. A few of my Linux installs have the background image from the default install with the hostname info branded onto it. Out of the bunch, Backtrack 4 has a pretty cool background for a default.
