I agree, and I share that sentiment. That one was definitely in the running. But this one is going to go to @Elmer_J.Fudd , for this terrific pun:

Sorry about the repeat image. Apparently, I have finally reached the end of the Internet. I’m off to read the back of a cereal box.

I use [Imgur.com](http://Imgur.com). Make an account, post a photo there, copy the link and post it here. There are a couple things to keep in mind there - you have to open the image in a new tab to get the link, or else you’ll end up posting the “album” link instead.

Other people use [postimages.com](http://postimages.com). I’m going to try it out one of these days.
