Ronya sent me this card today. Too good not to share.

Okay–I don’t get it.
Careful, Joseph! It might be a trap. Think of what can happen when you explain the joke.
Explaining the joke actually is part of the joke, and by “part of the joke”, I mean, “have sex with me.”
I knew you’d be on that like a duck on a June bug.
How could I resist?
she played the race e-card.
Oh, so now you post the card. So that anyone reading the comments will say, damn, that Cindy is dense.
No one would think that, Cindy. The card was up the whole time, though.
Fucking fucker.
I can vouch for it.
et tu, Deron? WHAT ARE Y’ALL TRYING TO DO TO ME???
nope, I’m being a hundred percent serious. it was there.
It was where?
yep. maybe you got fire-walled or something?
oh wait. is the joke on me?
It was not there. I was not firewalled. It was not there.
I want Amanda Mae and Kelsey.
There was simply a small section of blank space (the size of a few lines), and Joseph’s script. For hours.
earliest version of the post
I’m like Mike Wallace.
Was there an instant, perhaps, when it was not? Say, within the two minutes between publication of the post and of Cindy’s comment?
Maybe the image took longer than usual to load?
I’m just grasping at straws. “Cause I saw it before I saw CIndy’s comment, but I don’t believe that Cindy looked at it but didn’t see it.
oh, it was uploaded as a tiff, which probably your browser doesn’t support. and then it looks like Andrew changed it to a png. case closed, mother fuckers!
For hours? Okay, there is jiggery-pokery at your end, Cindy, and no mistake. You must demand an answer and hold someone accountable. Someone — or something — is trying to make a monkey out of you.
Mike Wallace wants my body.
Thank you, Deron. Thank you, Andrew. My guess is it worked for you Mac people and not for us PC people.
Discriminatory cocksuckers.
Okay. I withdraw the charge of jiggery-pokery.
Jeez. Does Andrew have to do everything for Joseph?
Yes, it was hours (or, at least, certainly not a matter of minutes)–however long it took Andrew to notice the problem and fix it.
Cindy, it looks that way.
Joseph “Sexy iPad” Logan.
Andrew and Deron, apparently.
Is Joseph old or something?
Old enough to be someone’s mother, probably.
That’s what I was thinking.
Not Renner’s, though.
Nobody around here is that old.
Couldn’t be.
Cindy when I first looked at the post there was no card! I was about to eat and watch football for a while so thought I would leave it to later to question it!
So glad it just wasn’t me.
Thank you, Phil. Thank you. I never know when these people are just messing with me.
It wasn’t just you, Phil. It was you and CIndy.
God damn it, I know that at least some others couldn’t see it. Where’s Andrew? Andrew, you couldn’t see it, could you?
Maybe Dave Vogt can help. He posted a comment. Plus: he’s a scientist.
That is true. Dave is a scientist. But I think Dave uses a Mac which, alas, skews the findings.
Thing is, I don’t think that PC/Mac TIFF thing causes the problems I seem to remember that it used to. So I wonder if we should just be looking at the workings of nebulous but malign forces.
As if I fucking care.
for a long time all I got was a box with a red X in it. Then, hours later, I saw the card. Or maybe it was just hours between my first look and the next….
If this were anywhere other than on the internet, Cindy, I would say it was the work of gypsies! I think they use Macs.
Daryl, between the red cross and the image appearing, did you get any traveller types come to the door, you know, selling pegs (pins) and the like?
Just testing my gypsy theory.
Some of us are gifted with the capacity to see that which others cannot see.
It’s true, Phil–gypsies do use Macs. I think we have our answer.
Andrew fixes a lot of my problems when I post like wall-sized you tube videos and such.
“I love you like…”
…ellipses
…trichinosis
…my best friend ever
…Sunday morning with breakast in bed
….a soft bed and a cool pillow
….being able to pay the bills
…the first day of vacation
…the laughter of a little kid
…feeling like there is something waiting just around the bend
Sorry, y’all. Seems Danny and I are singing love songs to each other.
Sing away!
Sheila
You’re the best.
You, too, Ricky Cameron. You and Danny.
So as it turns out TIFF is pretty much a useless format for lots of things but it’s perfect for precisely the sort of thing that this isn’t.
tl;dr version: Blame Mama Joseph
Tagged Image File Format (abbreviated TIFF) is a file format for storing images, popular among Apple Macintosh owners, graphic artists, the publishing industry,[1] and both amateur and professional photographers in general. As of 2009, it is under the control of Adobe Systems. Originally created by the company Aldus[2] for use with what was then called “desktop publishing”, the TIFF format is widely supported by image-manipulation applications, by publishing and page layout applications, by scanning, faxing, word processing, optical character recognition and other applications.[3] Adobe Systems, which acquired Aldus, now holds the copyright to the TIFF specification. TIFF has not had a major update since 1992, though several Aldus/Adobe technical notes have been published with minor extensions to the format, and several specifications, including TIFF/EP (ISO 12234-2) and TIFF/IT (ISO 12639)[4][5] have been based on the TIFF 6.0 specification.
But thank you if someone converted this. I’ll certainly avoid TIFF for clusterflock.
come to think of it, LA might love its riots a little more.

TIFF is a (usually) uncompressed format intended for high-resolution print output, and most Web browsers don’t support it, out of the box, though you can often install a plug-in that will fix that. JPEG, GIF, and PNG are compressed formats much better suited to use on the Web, and they are consequently almost universally supported by browsers.</geek>
I have little hearts flying around my head for you, Miss India.
Cindy, I already promised to add an extra step to my blogging to satisfy you. Let’s join hands and move on.
India: traitor.
Cindy (as Pepe LePew) to India (the hapless cat): “You pierce me wiz zee ack-ack of luuv, bebe.”
I have told you, I’m sure, that one of my nicknames for Interrobang is Pepe LePew. Because he is so suave and yet also sometimes a bit excessively fragrant.
