Pasted

No, this ain’t a post about getting drunk.

As many of you know, I have long desired to make it easier for y’all to share pictures, X/Twitter posts, YouTube videos, etc. in the comments (even, yuk, Facebook if you’re so inclined).

I think I finally have it sorted out. I’ve tested YouTube, X and an image and they all appeared in the comment I posted.

Rules of thumb:

FTMF FU ain't jacksquat
LINK
  1. ANY link should be pasted on a line by itself. As shown above
  2. To post an image, copy the link from any online image. Make sure that the text from your link ends with .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .png, .bmp, .webp, etc. If there’s anything other than that at the end of the link, it will not show. Delete any extra characters until the link ends with one of those file types listed. Uploading images from your computer or phone won’t work.
  3. X/Twitter is easier, just get the link from the Xpost and paste it on a line by itself.
  4. Same for YouTube, paste the link to a line by itself.

I will post some example comments, feel free to test out in the Comments and get a feel for it. I think I have it pretty much back to how it used to work for us. Fingers crossed X…

Stick To It

There’s been some discussion of GTP Refugees merch. I’m not opposed to doing some things to promote us around here. A couple of days ago, Sanford222view mentioned a sticker for his cooler. As a man with coolers covered in decals, that struck a chord with me, and sounds like a good way to test out getting merch to the readers of this rag.

I priced this out on a website that makes custom decals. For a 3″ x 3″ decal, the cost per would be around $1.50. That’s for a lot of 50 total decals.

If you’re interested, here’s how I would try to handle it: Anyone wanting decal(s) would send me a letter in the mail with, let’s say $2.00 for 1, $3.00 for 2 and a SASE. I could then mail them right back out to you the next day. (If you don’t know what SASE is, one of the old-heads will explain it to you below. 😜 )

If all goes well, we’ll look at doing a limited run of t-shirts next…

Toss it around in the comments, if there’s enough interest, I’ll pull the trigger.

EDIT: Order has been placed, supposed to arrive next week, once they are here, I will post instructions on where to send payment and SASE.

Go Dawgs!

Them Dawgs Are Hell

Holy crap! I’ve never noticed this before. So, I’m sitting out on the dock today. It’s a slow sports day. So, I’ve got the 2024 UGA@TX game on 1 TV. I’ve got the Diamond Dawgs vs Arky in the 2026 SEC Baseball Championship on another. And, on the 3rd TV is the 1980 GA/FU game. This banner was hanging out of the stands:

I thought that was relatively new. Do any of you legacy guys remember this being a saying in the past? I do not.
