I’m going to post an old picture of me this time. [Here I am](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b127/jrfranchi/JimCrewingontheClearwaterEarthday20.jpg)age 22 or 23 crewing onboard the Clearwater.
[Here is a much more recent one](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b127/jrfranchi/JimKevinGuen.jpg)I used in some prior threads.

Is something wrong with my computer? I tried the link you posted, but it lead to a wikipedia article about Hypertext Transfer Protocol.

If you look in the status bar at the bottom of your browser window when you put your mouse over a link, you can see where it goes. Often you can spot obvious errors–in this case the link goes to http://“http//www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1050454&id=6427569162
If you right click and choose “copy link location” you can then manually paste the url into your browser and remove the extra http://”

I put my mug in my user profile.
I’m just glad to see **Ellen Cherry** (The Most Beautiful Grrl On The Dope:D) has done the same.
I’ll go back to my corner now…

Hey an 18 year old joke based on a 40 year old joke got a laugh. 🆒
This was shortly after the Valdez accident and was based off of the old [Lily Tomlin Telephone Company routine](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9e3dTOJi0o)she used to do. She played Ernestine. I remember seeing it on SNL.

I had a feeling it was after the Valdez. And Lily Tomlin is a comedy genius.
(40 year old jokes are nothing to me. I still laugh uproariously at Spike Jones songs.)

I don’t have any new ones, but since I began a separate photo website from the wife’s for pigeon photos – because I was starting to crowd hers with them – and there seems to be a fair amount of interest in elephant polo, I’ve added some from the 2006 King’s Cup Elephant Polo Tournament in the northern-Thai town of Chiang Saen. This was the last tournament I played in.
I’m #4 in the blue shirt.
[Here](http://pidgees.multiply.com/photos/album/2#6) is one I’ve posted before.
Then [here](http://pidgees.multiply.com/photos/album/2#1) I am taking the field.
[Waiting](http://pidgees.multiply.com/photos/album/2#2).
[A scrimmage](http://pidgees.multiply.com/photos/album/2#3)!
[More action](http://pidgees.multiply.com/photos/album/2#4).
[Looking off](http://pidgees.multiply.com/photos/album/2#5) to where the action is now.

Elephant polo? Such a thing I did not know existed. It looks neat.

It raises a lot of money for elephant welfare. And the elephants seem to enjoy it. A match, or chakka, lasts only 15 minutes not counting time outs, but you use a different elephant for each half, so they don’t get tired. More details [here](http://www.elephantpolo.com/).

The “ding” sound and a message telling you that you’ve levelled up are conspicuous by their absence, aren’t they? 😃
