POLL: the final step before ninth_wave reveals all!

I read a little yesterday but was side tracked and as Ms S says, didn't know where to jump in ( or was that someone else? )
Yes this is epic in proportions. No point to it, that's kewl.
Wow a Dummie Guide for Seller Details and Profiles....very good idea. I admit I was lost when I started. The tutorial didn't cut it either. I used the tutorial literally when I started. Then I made about 10 masters, then I panicked and settle on "one". I have a mess out there, a conglomeration formats on about 150 listings......not all active but in limbo til I decide what to do.
Now I want a new store front. I am not sure how that will affect what I have out there already....or if it even will. So I go in circles.
I didn't see Jeff's addendum here, should I?
I see it's ok to just talk to myself here too.....this is good.
Are all you avid participants from England?
I am from Oregon! Pronounced Orygun!
If I were younger you could call me Miss, or Mrs. but I prefer neither nor any!
N is for Nena.
I have English ancestory....does that count? I love English humor.....altho I'm not good at it.
OK off to work now...I was HERE!
No way to preview post on here huh? hmmm....I'm still waiting to see why I can't use FF on the community forum......would help with spelling.

oh I already read Jeff's addendum and commented on it....somewhere else. Dummies for Profiles and Seller Details might help!!!

Hi from the UK Nena, Pete and I seem to be the only Brit's on the epic-thread although I staunchly refer to myself as English rather than British !

Nearly 9pm here I uusally catch the US contigent on their way to work and if I am up late enough or earlier enough in the morning here I can catch the US 'night shift' threaders.

I am sure the others will say hello shortly, Choo

QUOTE -- anything you say will be taken down and used in evidence .. "Knickers",


Choo, that must be a British thing. Never heard of it

OK now I'm trying to aim my x-ray eyes over toward Germany to see what's goin on over there..

Did Pete really take the Tardis??
Is he really in Chicago, spying on yours truly?
Is he trying to steal Taz's fuzzy slippers???

Hmmm...what's he up to over there??

quote:

Is he trying to steal Taz's fuzzy slippers???

Not me Fuzzy Slippers!
The Bloody Cur had best be wearin da red shirt and de brown pantaloons!
Let me at im I'll rip is eart out and defecate in da hole I leave behind.
Pete where de HeDobletoopics is me Maybach! Went to Germany an all ye brang me is a bunch o nuttin!

Hey Taz,
You know what Pete will bring us back?? (you can forget about the Maybach)

Boxers with hearts on them, I just know it.
Or worse yet, boxers with a 'free gift' inside

How's work (regular work, I know McGoo's must be a blast) Still on the pm shift??

Well Miss M I certainly do not want boxers with a free gift inside. Pete PLEASE send my free gift to the DSG!
Work is going OK getting ready to give my notice and proceed to the next job. Went for my pre-employment physical and screening today, had to drink almost 1 gallon of water while there to fill my lemonade cup! Sat in the screening room from 1:30 to 3:15 before I could make lemonade!Had to be at work at 4 and it is a 30 minute commute and I had to go home to get ready! Needless to say today was a call in to work with a dead battery day! Better late than never!
This new job is a really great job but I am not enamored by the thought of working swing shift! One week of each 1st, 2nd, 3rd on a rotating basis!

YAY Taz, glad you got the job!!!!!
Does this mean I won't be getting any more free pretzels ??
Whatcha going to be doing if I may ask? I always wanted to work in the morgue, but don't have the right license (Yeah, I'm definitely a darksider) And no more school for me, yuck!
Swing shift is a major drag, but if you like the job it'll be ok. I do it sometimes too, just not that often .. you know how I love my 2nd shift

The company I am going to work for is a well established company with offices all across the US and also in Australia and China. They branched out into a coal mining branch which makes a resin for setting mine supports.
This particular branch has been in existence for about 3 years and has 5 US locations with a 6th opening soon.
Basically a ground floor opportunity with plenty of advancement potential.


Hoping to be able to use my degree in computer networking and my experience with upgrades and repairs to advance quickly.
EDIT:

quote:

I always wanted to work in the morgue, but don't have the right license

Use to date a girl whose father was a mortician! 16 year olds with wild hormones running around in a mortuary is a scary thought!
Yup sorry no more free pretzels!

Sounds like a cool job...something you'll like.
OR you could tend bar at Mcgoos full time OK, part time even...I did that years ago, the $$ was great!

BTW, are some of these questions here getting goofier, or is it just me? It seems like a rash of really bogus questions or something

HEY - I want my pretzels!!! (pouting)

quote:

BTW, are some of these questions here getting goofier, or is it just me? It seems like a rash of really bogus questions or something

I was just getting ready to ask the same thing!
One unanswered question on the board is actually viable but the other one is so out in left field I think the fish is drowning and flailing about!

Well it is time for the eyes to shut so I am off to the land of sugar plums!
EDIT: Hi N glad to see you jumped in to the thread here. Today was a slow day but stick around and help stir the stew!

Sorry Taz, had to get an email off to someone, didn't mean to ignore you. (Choo on the other hand, I will ignore) Kidding!!

Sweet dreams...talk tomorrow

Whoa, hold on a minute...did you say 'sugar plums' ?? Not exactly in keeping with my vision of you

EDIT - sounds kind of Christmassy doesn't it? 'Vision' and 'sugar plum' ?? Ummm I think it's time I turned out the lights too

Pardon my lack of manners N - welcome!!

Hi Ms M, ignore Nena and I at your peril, an Anglo-US coalition may come your way ...

edit -that's better, your reply wasn't there when I posted, don't you love these time delays, wand who needs a spellung chegger anyway.

Was it really 4am when you two signed off

Morning Choo (or evening)

No it was 3 AM by me, not sure about Taz
I think it was 4 AM by him...

Hi Ms M, got me all confused now with your swift edit, 2AM on the e-mail notification of this text and 3AM when I look here, oh, well, it's afternoon here about 3:30 pm, dull and almost sunset.

Better where you are or just another grey'un ?

frantic eidt, that might explain it if taz is another zone westward, spelling chucker, duff !

Hey Choo (c'mon, tell me your real name,,,you can find a way)

Yep, I edited my time (it WAS 3 AM, see I'm still tired) after looking on a map, Taz IS in another zone (isn't he tho hi Taz) he's an hour ahead of me.

We actually have sun today..makes the 2 tons of snow and freezing cold seem so much better

I thought it was always gray in England???

"I thought it was always gray in England???"

Not all the time, just seems like it at times, certainly isn't white, we rarely get much snow around London these days or rather years, when we do no one expects it and an inch or two causes chaos.

Keep snow for the leisure pursuits and Christmas cards, and have I a name, yes, judging by someone I tried to help yesterday on another thread not a very good one, but that's their problem.

Temperatures generally between about 5 and 10deg C here during the day, that's rather warm for us normally expect hovering around freezing.

Still February to come that's usua;;y the worst time for the cold here.

This is getting rather sensible feel the urge to again backwards write

Don't you dare!! NO writing backwards! My brain is too tired to read anything right now..

I'm just going to keep bugging thr carp out of you for your name Check my BC link for a hint to let me know....I promise to keep it to myself

ps..you'd be surprised at all the 'real names' I know but I'll never tell

EDIT - we really DO need a lunacy button somewhere.......

quote:

I promise to keep it to myself

! sey hO

I thought you and Taz worked later shifts hence the lie in

Yep, we DO work later shifts but Taz works later than me. I still like to get up around 9 otherwise I feel like I'm missing something..don't know what tho .. maybe thinking up ways to harass Pete

Although the only time I ever saw him even slightly ruffled was when you 'accidentally' reported him HA

Perhaps we should find a way of getting him reported for being AWOL from here, typing of which where's ninth these days, starts this thread and barely a typo from him one page to the next lately

Well you're a big meanie aren't you poor Pete, it's a wonder he even speaks to us. I was thinking more along the lines of getting him a 'welcome back' something. (and by 'something' I mean,well, 'something')

Yeah, as for ninth...he deserves a BIG whackin' for deserting us like this...oh, maybe threatening him with a whackin' isn't the best way to get him back???

quote:

'welcome back'

Errm don't you mean a "whacking back", well all you need do is entice back with those eyes of yours and then .... whack

On other hand why not get Nena to coax him back and when he's not looking Whack

Hate to meet you on bad day, apparently good ones seem a bit iffy, and me a big Meannie who encorouged poor little me to set up that poll for Pete, (hope you're watching Pete )

I think you a bit like that character in Kirsty MacColls song, Ms Otis regrets .. , a little too handy with the club

Where's Taz, need some help here

quote:

Hate to meet you on bad day, apparently good ones seem a bit iffy

Oh you really know how to flatter a girl don't you

Speaking of whackin tho, I wouldn't mention N and ninth in the same sentence or our good friend Miss S will GET you for that

You know how he loves her web

EDIT...still waiting for that name (tapping foot, rolling pin in hand)

Well Shadeaux doen't seem to be around much either, that would bring her scampering out across her web to see off any possible competion and probably devour it.

quote:

still waiting for that name (tapping foot, rolling pin in hand)

Good grief I was right about iffy, I'm hit right between the eyes with a stereotypical wife image, thank goodness my wife understands me (too well most of the time).

Not telling yer

AAArrgghhhhh!!

I knew I should have left out the rolling pin part

That's not me AT ALL (well not usually)

What do you mean you're not telling me?? Where's the trust?? *sigh* Do we have to guess?? I'll bet it starts with an S tho...

"That's not me AT ALL (well not usually) "

Not usually, reserved for me is it, now there's a scary thought, does that mean that was you in a good frame of mind or, oh errr, you're not related to Taz are you, perhaps I should call you Ms T

Just a quick pop-in to say hello. Yes Miss M is correct on the time zone, it was almost 4 AM when I signed off last night.
Fott tapping and rolling pins, egads this post seems to have a new surprise every day!
Choo at least she did not threaten you with a bagful of something from her freezer

Oh Taz
I forgot about those dammmm things! They ARE still in my freezer.

Thanks for the great idea, gonna mail them to Choo right now..wonder what THAT lil' package would smell like by the time it got to England

Oh no not the frozen rats, is that what Ms M uses to whack us with now, I'll bet she makes sure the tails are shaped correctly for either throwing or cudgelling.

That must be what they are there for afterall how can someone not remember they have rats in their freezer that's darn right weird, if not scary, what else is in there.

Snake batons, cat claw knuckle dusters !

I'm safe, remember customs . ..

Geez I just re read my last post...ninth was right, what kind of psycho nut is hubby??

Me too, for that matter, actually forgetting they were there

Heck with customs Choo,

I'll find a way, you betcha

I really could have used one of Taz's lil red devils here instead of the wink.

Lord only knows what else is lurking in my freezer..I'm afraid to go in there now

Well just hope you don't have a power cut and they return from the dead, he, he

Meanwhile ...

"still waiting for that name (tapping foot, rolling pin in hand) "

For the record Ms M to complete the stereoptype full regalia includes, hair curlers and net, ciggy hanging from lower lip, wrinkled stockings slipping down and tatty slippers.

Don't be shy you can tell us, we won't tell anyone about your other life

quote:

I am SOOO gonna get you for that!!! I could ignore you but you already have a wife so you must be used to that

Now if I had said 'baseball bat' that would have brought up a whole different image wouldn't it?

You'll never know where or when I'm gonna strike...

quote:

Yep, confirms I'm married don't it

And I forgot the pinny, how could I.

"Now if I had said 'baseball bat' that would have brought up a whole different image wouldn't it?"

Yeah sure would, baseball cap, complete with Aussie duster, cigar, rotweiller and rigger boots = Mrs T

What do you say Taz, Ms M's got the temprement !

(I hope you (all our viewers) are conjouring up these images in your minds, further suggestions are welcome if you dare )

Not sure I want to know but what is a pinny??
(You Brits sure do talk funny)

EDIT...still waiting for that name (tapping foot, rolling pin in hand)

OK what does that mean??? Am I in some kind of trouble and don't know it???
I am still figuring out who all the culprits in/on epic are....give me some time I will figure it out.....but what is the reference to??? I gotta know.

What is this thread about, and why has it generated 102 pages worth of messages since December?

Come on Ms N don't play all innocent, your name's been brought up in the last few pages, so a spider is out to get you when she reappears.

"You Brits sure do talk funny"

Oh boy that's a good one from the USA, pinny, 'apron' ties around the waist protects the dress from blood when administering the rolling pin to errant hubby, cor I don't know 'guv what a to do, too right, we'l I'll go to the foot of our stairs ....

"Whats this thread about", that's a good'un, I'd love to know, bucket of drivel supplmented by demented ramblings I believe.

And what's all this then nicking my avatar, you'll pay for that, some of the others may mistake you for me, watch out for the frozen rats

WHAT???

Geez Choo, what the heck was that??
And don't go scaring N either (he's kidding N)

Hi JeffS...hmmm how to explain...started off as a poll and evolved into this maniacal mess you see here. You are quite welcome to join in

BTW Choo, JeffS has probably had the avatar before you did

N do not worry there is nothing sacred here in our little epic! Just good fun and ribbings of all who dare venture into these hallowed gates. I get ribbed quit regularly. Lately have been referred to as a youngster, due to a dating relationship I have going right now which has been mentioned several times in these pages.
So no you did nothing wrong and really nothing much seems to make any sense on these pages.
I do believe I am the sane if somewhat outspoken one of the bunch.
Boy did I just open the door for a Clobberin!

Food calls, back shortly, sort out Jeffs Ms M

You think YOU are the sane one??
You have me lookin for the klee**x again...
Let's begin the clobbering (or whackin' as I prefer)

Jeff S, this is sort of our little kick back and relax area. Usually just good natured ribbings and some jokes. Occasionally someone goes OT and discusses something serious here.
It seems that a few of us had gotten in the habit of "talking" on other threads and hijacking them, so in order to maintain proper netiquette this thread has resulted. Started by one of our own so no way to consider it hijacked. By all means join the merriment if you wish!

Nicely put Taz..that explains it very well.

Although there are so many things that are UNexplained I'm gettin a headache just thinking about them

16,000 views! Dare I say that one day in the not so far future we may catch up to "Read This First"( Currently a scosh below 65,000)

HUH? What? We posting at the same time.....



I gotta run, just trying to get caught up. In the meantime I am still trying to figure out how to integrate all my selling/income data......I am so lame with numbers....it's keeping me busy for now tho. Out of trouble.
OBTW, this thread is about YOU!

quote:

OBTW, this thread is about YOU!

But N since you have started posting here also you are now one of us! Welcome to the Auctiva Asylum

I know, that realllly sunk in when I just realized I answered Jeff instead of choo!

All quiet now, here's me all refuelled ready to go and everyone has gone, oh, well couple of comments.

quote:

Good grief, Taz the sane one, he must have eaten a mutant pretzel, what on earth does that make the rest of us Ms M whack 'im.

Hi N, yes got to sort out this avatar thing, I thought when the name was Jeff I thought good grief the 'Jeff' anyway where has he gone, scared off by Ms M or Ms N, anyway a US steamer and the name Jeff, that is too confusing for us simple souls.

See you around in 7 hours or so, g'night

I'm a stats buff, so here's an amusing one: 2052 out of the 6514 total posts in The Lounge come from this one thread... that's like less than 1% of the threads accounting for over 30% of the posts! Talk about a gap between the rich and poor... i feel sorry for the poor threads

Thanks for the info David the gang here will be interested in that. Also we appear to be attracting a lot of readers to our ramblings which I am sure can only help to attract new customers to Auctiva.

Hey all you fellow Asylum inmates.
...yltsom
Just poppin' in to say Welcome N. Jeff too if you're stickin' around. Heck, even if ya aren't.
Taz, good explanation there for what this thread's about. However, I don't know how you got your reasoning about the youngster referral.
That's ok. You just go fer it (like ya need to be told)!

Miss M, methinks you're the one needs a good ole fashioned whackin' here!

Choo, now just how do you know me so well!!? What's up with that?
*hgual s'hctiw dekciw* !oot god elttil er'uoy dnA !ytterp ym uoy teg ll'I *rehtegot sdnah gnibbur*

I'll get all yee scurvy laddies and lassies! Whackin's all around! Aaarghh! *runnin' to get me proper attire*

Why thar ya be my wicked little spiderette. I see ya got yer witch's hat on tonite, and ar a cooking up somthin' in that thar pot a yonder. Better not be non o my fly buds in thar, or else I'll hafta give ya a bite or two, maybe on that big spider belly ya got thar.

As for the rest of you denizens of this here thread, don't think I aint been a noticin the strange goins on around here, beins I is such a skulker in these here parts. That be accordin to a certain wooly whacker who likes to keeps rats in her larder I've a heard.

As fer ya newcomers to this here bundle a wildly wasted bits n bytes, and I mean the likes a YOU, N and Jeff, and anyone else bold enough to step into this here jumble of discombobulated mental activity fit only for the Asylum, welcome one and all!

I do believe ninth_wave is disguising himself as Choo...

And just WHERE the heck have you been??? I know, lurking (told ya)

Hi Miss S! Glad to see you back here..although with both you and ninth here, I see trouble comin

Hey there Miss M, now you know me and Miss S wouldn't even think of hoggin the thread like we so rudely did before in such spectacle-like fashion. We just thought we might step aside a bit and let some of youse fine folks make spectacles of YOURSELVES. Can't say we're too disappointed by what we see going on around here. I hope Choo puts up a better fight hiding his name from your x-ray eyes than I ever did. Maybe a couple of your whacks will wear him down a bit? And no fair going to some other site to get that secret info and hiding it from all the rest of us good buds who are just dying to know.

Oh believe me I've tried ninth...he doesn't think he can trust me not to spill it (pouting).
He might actually enjoy a whackin, so I don't think that will work either
But I might just whack him for fun anyway....now where'd I put that baseball bat??? (I don't even own a rolling pin)

And at least speaking for myself, I've missed you guys making spectacles of yourselves
You're so good at it

Well now Miss M. maybe he needs a little more of the RELENTLESS bit of cajoling that had my defenses crumbling in no time. I bet he is already a bit nervous and hoping this subject would just quietly go away. FAT CHANCE CHOO! It's your turn good buddy! Now I still have that Louisville Slugger around here someplace I tried to fend you off with, but turned out to be totally worthless. I'm sure however, that in the hands of a skilled whacker such as yourself, it would be an effective persuader upon our recalcitrant Mr. Choo.

Did you read what Miss M just said about us Miss S? Now Miss M, we were only trying to provide a little entertainment for our little 16000+ hit thread here. Nothing extravagant, just a little song and dance routine. So there.

I know, ninth...LOVED every minute of it! Although I used to be upset when I'd log on only to find my computer in flames....

We just thought a little light reading would...you know, 'stimulate' the masses a little, or as least get their smile muscles loosened up a bit. Hope your computer is much better now, got to keep it in tiptop shape for your own wild and wacky bits, which are most entertaining to say the least.

HA--light reading my arse

If my smile muscles got any more of a workout I'd look like a freak (you know I'm the kleenex queen) And it figures I have to go for now but I'm SO glad to see you back..both of ya. Don't forget about us here...or you know what I'll have to do

Choo, its up to you now good buddy. Looks to me this here Jeff feller done threw down the gauntlet wouldn't ya say? Best not let this one go unanswered, your reputation's on the line.

Visions of fly bites dancin' in my head... now there's some makin's for sweet dreams!

As for the train, we're here to do our part!

Why now, with the competition out of the way, git yerself ready for some good bitin' and i aint talkin bout no cookies.

Hey, I'll jump on board too (little pun there, very little)

Sorry JeffS, I'll change it back soon...looks like one person here talkin to themselves

So whatcha think Choo?? If only we could see the look on your face...

GOTTA EDIT - just when ya think this thread can't get any crazier!!

Choo the gauntlet has been thrown and the challenger JeffS is claiming ownership since DECEMBER 25 2001!
It appears that we may be into VERO now!
As impartial Judge , Jury and execuctioner may I have both parties present their closing arguments at this time?

Choo you have been judged lacking by a jury of your peers!(Me as I am de only one ere at da moment)( Due to yer obious impertince of not promptly answerin dis post) Punishment is deemed to be assimilation.We are Borg and you are now to be considered one of none!
As such your duties will be relegated to swabbin da decks and custodian of da brown pants.
JeffS ye have been promoted to custodian of da Red shirt!

B'sides, cookies n' pretzels'll don't mix, give ya a tummy ache, didn't yur mama teach ya nuttin?

Whos dares to throw down the gauntlet due to old (Auctiva) age without even a train related name !!!

Picked up with relish, it's heavy freight trains at dawn, single track line of your choosing. And may the most devious driver win.

Steamed up and ready to go

Alright then and there, that's the spirit! I knew the ol' Choo wouldn't let us down! Freight trains at dawn? Single track? Holy smokes! I this gonna be GOOD or what?! "Steamed up and ready to go"!!!!

Stand by folks. This could go nuclear if i know the ChooGuy! Ya gots a pretty good claim there with your name an all. That carries some pretty heavy freight were I come from. I think we'd best stand back aways!!!

Just a few tickets left folks, get while they're hot! Don't be left in the dust, sittin on the side of the tracks!!! Tickets! Tickets! Get yur tickets here!!!!

Awful lot of train traffic here today. Popular icon all of a sudden.

Miss S,Gotta wait till the weekend to try to invent those new pretzels. My sweetie went to Pittsburgh for the week.
Choo it is way past dawn here stateside. Surely the sparks should be flying by now?

Jeff S just throwing up a smokescreen to confuse Poor Ole Choo

I use my own steam train...

Assuming you can be make it out. Awfully small.

"Jeff S just throwing up a smokescreen to confuse Poor Ole Choo"

You're right, now I am all confused big trains, small trains, big smoke screen of trains, JeffS is being devious too looks like I need to out switch him.

And there they are selling tickets, jump aboard folks and join in the train wreck at dawn

Hey Choo, I thought it was to get on board... help ya build steam. And to confuse Jeff.
Taz, what are you up to there!? Pickin' on Choo like that! Shame on you!! Bad Taz! Bad!! Bad!
And I thought you came over to the dark side!!

Where IS Miss M? Get over here girlie! We need to do some serious whackin'!! Whack some sense into Taz till his honey gets back. He's runnin' amuck!!

!oohC !oohC ,kcalc ytikcilc ,kcalc ytikcilc...

I think JeffS and I were at the same place 5 hours apart, where's my time machine, drat Pete took it to Germany.

Better get out my DeLorean instead

Pretty rare to see a thread go over 2000 posts. Posting just to say I was here.

Choo, I forgot to tell you, I borrowed the DeLorean and you're not getting it back

Poor Jeff..see what we made him do Don't worry Jeff, I'll change mine back soon. It's gettin too hard to tell who wrote what.

Big HI to everybody else

Strange goin's on around this here thread!

What's gonna happen with th' engine avi's? Are you guys done? Surely there's more to it than this! Peeps have TICKETS for goodness' sake!
Did I sleep too long? What'd I miss?? What time zone is this?
I wondered which dawn sparks will fly.

When does Pete get back? He sent this very handsome picture of himself.






(Thanks Thurston!)

And here he is being the life of the party...atleast he doesn't have a lampshade on his head (although it might be an improvement)

Sure you can have the DeLorean next..gotta keep it away from Choo as long as possible, since he won't tell me his name

Right then Ms M I will upgrade your ticket to VIP* class and give you the front row seat on the train wreck of the year, that is on the cow-catcher

Then you can use your x-ray eyes to derail JeffS before impact as you will have a vested interest, as I said may the most devious driver win, he, he, where's Muttley got to ...

I hope catering will be supplying enough cookies, pretzels and rats for the viewers gastronomic delight.

Hi Thurston, drop in again sometime, all are welcome to join in and stir things up.


Eek, just turned 1,000 posts no wonder my fingers are wearing away

That other train image was too small. This one's better. I remember when I took this shot ten years ago. That engine barreled by at 70mph and the earth shook as it went by. Awesome. I was about 10 feet to the side of the tracks, still camera on one tripod, video camera on another.

Jeff that is an awesome pic..I'm guessing you're a photographer??

Choo..don't think I didn't see that

Wow, JeffS why on earth did you use off-the-shelf avatar pic when you have your own great picture like that, have enlarged it up to take a closer look.

With such a shine to the paintwork suggests its a preserved engine working a mainline special, right ?

I was a covert OPS spy and really just came for the cookies but never got any cookies anyway. Ninth got all da cookies
Miss M when do I get the Delorean?
JeffS great photo! My area has a K-4 getting restored right now. It has been in Scranton for sometime and Altoona is getting upset that things are moving so slowly.
Welcome to the madness Thurston!

Serves u'right, treacherous dog, even though I haven't a clue what OPS stands for

Taz & Choo - Thanks for the welcome. I'll be here more often now that I know that the club isn't that exclusive.

member_8880 - Thanks for using the site. Hang in there - I have over 1000 little pics on my desktop being sorted for upload in the next week or so. It gets nothin' but better...

BTW - do you have to host the pictures here to use them on the board? I've tried the links at Emotipics put haven't yet been able to make them work.
