It's not enough that your action figure doppleganger looks like The Baroness; you've got to complain about the hair color, too?

How can a gal named Annika not be a blonde?! Argh!!!

A true spy would need to be flexible in her appearance, and always ready to adapt. You never know when you might be called upon to do a photo shoot for Vanity Fair.

The dark hair is obviously a wig, for undercover work.

(a-henh! I said, "undercover!")

Leif is right. This would make a better Annie figure instead of that Baroness rip-off:

Sorry, guys, I never figured out how to make clickable links in my posts.

I could do them on most forums though.

Use the tags: [a href="url"]link[/a]

But replace the [ and ] with the "less than" "greater than" sharpie html thingies. Can o'cake! Err, I mean, Piece o'corn!

You're my hero. I've been wondering how to do that for a couple years now. Thanks very much.

Reagan80 I'm wondering why you never googled it.

I'm not trying to be snarky at all, but is that a habit you haven't developed? My "google it" reflex is quite strong now, anytime I need to find anything like what was confusing you, I literally find it 15 seconds, and then, voila, I know it. Obviously can't find everything, but I can almost guarantee there is a free resource out there for any topic related to webpages. Anyways I'm just really curious about your thought process here (I just got back from an e-learning conference and this was all we talked about, the way different people search for knowledge, learning styles, etc). Thx in advance if ya find the time to respond.

I don't know. I think I did Google it a long time ago, but I botched my first couple attempts when I tried to apply that technique at someone's blog. I gave up then because I didn't want to spam threads with my failed links. I just never bothered asking anyone.

(Sorry about all of the I's, but I'm tired.)

here's another tip: if you want to use < or > signs without it turning into code, type &lt; or &gt;

I've got my own action figure, too. It's called "Cadet Cameron - Action Poet." According to the commercial, when the make-believe bullets start flying, you pull the string on the doll's back and I - I mean . . . it - produces a haiku:

"Bullets overhead!
Breeze of danger parts my hair!
Crap! I wet myself!"

It's not doing so well, sales-wise, but, hey, I got my own doll!

Mmmmmmmn. Seriously, are blond hairs as delicious drooping as they are submerged and inviting?

Breathe through the ears!

Thanks, Annika. I'll try to keep that in mind.

Just for in case I screw that up, I'll probably test it out at Jackie Passey's or some other blog I loathe, first.

gracias reagan, i do appreciate it

I'm actually sorry to see you flaunting the busty, loose image in your current graphic; Others who take the same approach are relying too heavily on their looks instead of their brainpower to effect change. The result is a form of virtual whoring that preys on the basest instincts, instead of the highest principles and virtues. Not that I put you in that category, but it looks like you are steadily moving in that direction. I realize some here are hooked on some of the more raunchy talk and imagery, but you have to chart your course according to where you want to end up, not necessarily where you are now. I realize this might come off as a sermon, but I see true potential in your analysis and formulations that would far outshine the minor sensationlism of the "others", who have gone as far as they are going to go (and will likely decline with the current national direction).

No prob, Scof.

Will,

You can save your admonitions until Atlas Juggs-style vlogging is added here. If I want to be a masturbating jackal, I could just go ogle at Live Jasmin.

Though, I'm glad you brought up that banner. I'm wondering who drew that. It looks like Jim Lee's work. A nice visual, nonetheless.

Just a hint: I learned much of the HTML I know by clicking View-->Source on the Internet Explorer menu bar (or whatever the hell it's called). It's also on your right-click menu. That displays the HTML coding of the page you're viewing, from which you can learn a lot. But this only works for the simpler stuff. Without some kind of explanation, the more complex stuff looks like something produced by a drunk monkey with a keyboard.

LOL reagan...

...and in lieu of annika, I'm taking the Bears by 4

I was thinking that she looked like a Vargas Girl. Me likey.

Thanks for the marketing advice Will. I will think about your admonition regarding raunchy talk and sexual imagery. In the meantime why don't you go suck it.

I haven't given up hope that you will come to your senses. I'm married and get all the sex I could ever want, so I'll politely decline your suggestion. I understand that the upcoming elections are terrifying many staunch conservatives; change is in the wind, and many are undoubtedly bitter about the prospect of becoming tumbleweeds.

Um, no, it has nothing to do with election anxiety. This isn't the first time you've aggravated a female conservative blogger with your slightly veiled implications that they're strumpets.

BTW, did you give Ashcroft a bunch of crap when he "burkha'd" a nude statue at the DOJ? I could've sworn that liberals frowned upon such prudishness among conservatives.

What the Hell are you all whining about? Annie looks great as a brunette

*Not totally work safe which is a crime.*

Happy Halloween Will!

>Um, no, it has nothing to do with election anxiety.

Um, how do you know? Unless this is annika under an assumed name.

> This isn't the first time you've aggravated a female conservative blogger with your slightly veiled implications that they're strumpets.

Odd. Many conservatives love to aggravate liberals, but when an independent aggravates a conservative, it's somehow verboten.

> BTW, did you give Ashcroft a bunch of crap when he "burkha'd" a nude statue at the DOJ? I could've sworn that liberals frowned upon such prudishness among conservatives.

I didn't talk to Ashcroft personally over this matter, but thought it rather silly that he would cover the statue (and an embarrassment to his party). After all, it was a piece of art celebrating the human form, not an erotic come-on.

"After all, it was a piece of art celebrating the human form, not an erotic come-on."

And, that banner image isn't art? Interesting.

Reread the sentence again, this time without resorting to reductionism.

You're right, they should make a blonde agent, you know most men prefer blondes!

You know, you can buy doll wigs to replace the black hair. In any color, even purple!
So you could buy one, remove the hair and make a blonde Annika!

What's the coolest toy ! I wish I had one of my own ! How did you find out about these kinds of dolls?
