if you have photo paint you can resize it but it will probably get blurry

(that's me by the way, hehe.) I have other pics on here too. I almost brought this thread back last week because EOO still owes us an updated pic.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by that. Look at the way our hair and clothes are blowing; clearly we are not moving backwards. And how wretchedly un-aerodynamic it would be to ride a broom brush-end first!

A quick search on the internet shows this...

genuine witch-related information: early pictures do indeed show the correct way to ride a broomstick to be twigs in front, not behind as we now show them...

A coven in England have stepped forth to attack the egregious errors of the upcoming Harry Potter movie. Apparently Harry is taught the improper way to ride a broomstick! As anyone with a heavy witching background knows, the correct way to ride a broom is with the business end up front. How else will you keep the flies from getting stuck in your teeth?

and this link has a longer article on it... http://www.cesnur.org/2001/potter/july_02.htm

And finally...

the caption said this was the earliest know picture of witches on brooms. (I am not in this picture) EDIT: actually, that shows the brooms being used both ways, and there is a pitch fork in there as well, no hoovers though . hmmm.. maybe there is no front or back, very interesting.

Well, I guess i proved myself partially wrong, sorry for that.

Have a happy day, and don't forget to buckle up

Wow, you guys I'm so flattered! You've made me all giddy-like! Hehehe. Thank you so much, really. You guys made my day.

Oh and Elphaba is Alive, 10 years isn't that much odler, I don't find it creepy.

Hmmm...actually, yes, I did see something about that a while ago on The Witches' Voice. (I remember thinking that, broomsticks aside, those particular English witches were nutters.)

One more picture, just for fun.

ok, I can't take credit for this, I found it on the web, but it is neat.

Well, maybe for like a day, until I realized how difficult it actually is to manage. *grin* My hair is not difficult at all...it stays however it dries. End-of-story-bye.

I noticed that someone was talking about their curly hair and how they don't like it. I to, am a curly-headed one. A friend of mine used to call me 'Mufasa', because my hair is all curly and blonde. Pointless information, but oh, well.

Oh! And yes, Homestar Runner kicks butt. I love the email where Strongbad imitates a techno song, and the cheat has a glowstick and flicks the lightswitch on and off. Good stuff!

Here goes. Hope it works.

I'm the one in pink...December 24th, 9pm...eastern standard time...
Just kidding. It was Christmas year before last. I don't have many recent pictures of myself so this will have to do. But that is pretty much what I look like now.

Oh yeah and I can relate to the hair issue... My hair is naturally curly so I usually blow dry it straight unless it is rainy or humid. So that's it from the peanut gallery.

Okay I think it's back now. Didn't realize how darn big it was. Sorry for the poster size photo. That was not what I was going for. I'm not very good at these things. I'm going back to work now, mumbling silly thoughts all the while...mullets are our friends, make em shine.
It has been a long day already.

Ahahahahaha! Do British have mullets? I thought that was just a Midwestern American... or a moronic thing that some guys I know would do just to get a rouse out of their peers.

TRUE! I saw an older woman with one just yesterday on the train. Red hair too, it was kinda scary. I jumped a little. Heh!

And Acey... *sticks tongue out* You're no fun!

That's not a bad idea!! We could post pictures (of ourselves or just funny pictures we find) and we can come up with captions!
