OMG.............I should be.............
My wonderful memory of my Uncle Don should be..............

I think my uncle should be most delighted and gleefully remembered by your honor.
He owned an ice cream parlor in his last days in Wauwautosa, Wisconsin.
Boy Blue....
My father and my Mom took me there in the off season to help him clean up the store in the winter months........cleaning out the ice cream machines and washing the massive front glass which was tilted inward...

But, the one thing that struck me then and there was...............
He always has the Met opera house on the radio 24/7.
And if I took note of anything thereon..................

Son? You like that? That is Turandot........
It was written by a man Puccini.....would you like to hear it all....and the story? It is in italian, but I can tell it to you, my boy.
He gave me a book, with all of the Gilbert and Sullivan lyrics one year for my birthday. I treasure it still.

He always called me 'my boy'...
Miss him so much.

Now you know a little bit more about me.

Somebody help me here, please? Seems like it should work...
Something imbedded in the link perhaps?

I just don't do these things as well as I used to..........tags must be wrong. But I cannot sort them, tried several times. Thank you much.

Photobucket has become commercial trash, with gigs of downloaded shit before you even get to your pics now.
I am so sorry.

If this does not work, I shall have to give up the throne to another......

If one of you can copy and paste the link and make it work, carry on.
If not, another may pick up the gauntlet.

I don't have any more time for this tonight, I must get to sleep, cuddle with Tigger while I still have her, and deal with the snowstorm tomorrow before I can go to work......

Meow for now, luv ya lots, I tried to make it work.

We have a working picture of a "Tigger" Cat looking in a mirror seeing a lion. Not sure what happened on your end. But we see a Kitty picture. So you are still on the hook as a judge. Nice picture by the way.

I liked that as a first place even before the story! I never had an uncle that did anything with me. Or anybody else by that matter.

I hope you people go caption the picture in the thread Caption This! Caption This! Its another game but shorter time limits. So far msattler is the only one to add something after the first picture was added. As I am sure you can tell, it is Auguste Rodin's "The Thinker" as it was seen a hundred years ago in Rodin's studio.

msattler With your code, you can try putting your cursor to the left of the 5 in 598etc and pushing Backspace once so it thinks the whole link is on one line instead of broken off into two lines then that might work. Or you could shorten the name of the original file on Photobucket, then it might all fit easily on one line so the seti computer doesn't want to break it. Like CatMirrorLion.jpg

My entry is:
[*Cartman voice*] Hippy! You will respect my authoritah!
or
[*Clint Eastwood voice*] You want a piece of me punk? Go ahead. Make my day...

OK.....still no pic here, but I am done trying to sort that for the moment.
Just got back in from dealing with the 6 inches of snow that got dumped on us yesterday.

So...............glad ya liked the pic.
But....I think I'll give it another 24 hours for some more entries, if that is satisfactory with the rest of you.

Meow!
