This may be a moot point but I loved the Calvin and Hobbes comics. I used to read them just about every day. This is a poll to see if we can get enough of a vote to allow Rilla the extra 1" to post his comic.

You can't say "no" to a just cause. But all is not lost.

My sig will now place you one click away from the comic strips you loved so dearly.

I like the comics myself but I voted no. I don't like having to scroll over to the right to read posts. It nothing against Calvin or Hobbs but the sig is just too big.

Ok:

Open the image. Go to Image -> Stretch/Skew. "Stretch" it to 80% of the height/width and then hit ok. Save and you're done. You could just do width, but doing both will preserve the aspect ratio.
I run a training site...

I don't know if he'll be able to just stretch/skew and still be able to read the captions.

Why don't you just use BBCode to resize the images?

example: [img=500x160]...url...[/img]

Umm...why didn't that show up?

Edit: Fixed. Apparently having "&" in the filename makes BB say "that's not an image"

That must be a mod. I've seen similar mods that resize sig images automatically to a pre-defined size. You guys want this?

The best quote at the work lunchtable is:

Carl asks Homer for his autograph becuase some TV sitcom started and the main characters name is Homer Simpson.

Homer: Name?
Carl: Homer, we've known each other for years.
Homer: *blank stare*
Carl: It's Carl.
They start talking and the next thing Homer says is...
Homer: That's right *looks back at autographed photo* Carl.

Post Office Guy: Ok Mr. Burns, what's your first name?
Homer: I don't know.

The quote you started with where Carl was using his world of the day toilet paper was a scene at the work lunchtable. Since I can't say,"This scene is the best scene ever" for my scene I said it was the best quote from the same setting, the work lunchtable. Then you brought up a better quote, from a different setting.

Back in high school, we used to quiz one of my friends on all sorts of simpsons questions and he'd always know the answer. I remember, the only one that kinda stumped him for a minute or two was from the episode where the family joins a cult, Bart has some kit for mischief. I asked what the name of the kit was and he actually had to think about it. I was proud of myself.
