[Coyote]

Thank gawd you happened upon it first. I was afraid I'd end up having to explain it.

[Coyote]

dang...postus interruptus. Seems like old times again.

[Antrax]

Actually, I was trying to fix your link, and then tried to make everyone think I didn't fail

mudbuck, change the extension to txt and do the usual img tags pointing at the jpg turned txt file.

Courk's (the only link I can see, btw) looks like a paddydoyle parade balloon or a really cute goodyear blimp named brutus. Aww! ~gently pinches blimp on the butt~

Are manatees collectable?? *Starts seaching Ebay*

[Courk]

Indeed, they are! And they're tax deductable! For only a tax deductable $25 investment ($20 for educators), you can adopt one of several manatees. That same investment also gives you a 1 year membership in the Save the Manatee Club. Membership includes newsletters, a picture of your manatee, a certificate saying who you adopted and where s/he lives, a biography of your manatee, and, possibly, a free gift. (For August, a free book comes with a tax deductable $40 donation.) Every year they will send you a notice to renew your membership. If you choose to, you can adopt a different manatee and watch your collection grow! Also, with the newsletters comes a manatee catalogue which include items such as earrings, bracelets, magnets, pens, windchimes, books, etc.

Even more reasons why you should adopt a manatee!

Blue Spring adoptees
Homosassa Springs adoptees
Tampa Bay adoptees

Membership Levels

Simply choose one of the manatees listed, then fill out this form, and you're all set.

Mantees adopted by GLers:
Phyllis, Brutus, Arial, Doc, and Paddy Doyle (by me), and Merlin and Lorelei (by Chuck).

Save manatees: They're tax deductable!

[Chuck]

I also adopted Lorelei but she never writes to me.

[Buzzsaw]

Well, let's see one of Merlin's letters then.

[mith]

"PHILIP was born in the summer of 1982. As a youngster, Philip was one of the most playful manatees at Blue Spring. He also seems to love canoes and follows the research canoe everywhere!"

Freaky. I'm a manatee.

[Buzzsaw]

Hello PHILIP! Good to meet you! We're with the "save the manatee" committee!
Our research canoe is now fitted with an outboard motor.

It isn't just to help us "researchers" get around but we...well...come and swim under our canoe so we can put an identifying mark on you! We will use our rescue canoe scar to identify you and keep track of you! Why, we may just pull up along side you in the future, scar you some more (only for id purposes, we don't enjoy this I assure you).

So get the hell out of here, Philip! This is no time for five times five! Swim for your Christan life, you god fearing bastard!

(edited because Phill's name only contains one "L")

[HyToFry]

So Luna adopted mith?

[mudbuck]

How did this topic so quickly changed from icons to the Save the Manatee Commity?

[HyToFry]

All threads with a courk presence seem to do that...

[Courk]

I'm special like that. Anyone adopt a manatee yet? They're tax deductable.

[HyToFry]

I did once, but I've lost track of it. I think it might be in the bathtub.

[Planky]

The Hy Hygiene Rate (no pun intended) just fell through the floor, if he doesnt know if there's a manatee in his bathtub. Hy, I would like to introduce you to this marvelous invention called the shower

[Qball]

I got one of those manatee things, but it wouldn't fit on my grill.

[McK]

The trick is to hack it up.

[mudbuck]

Okay, I got an idea. I'll change the title of this topic to "Post Icons/Save the Manatee.

[mudbuck]

Anyway, how do you do a .txt file?

[HyToFry]

Just rename your image file to a .txt extension and upload it. If you've already uploaded it to geocities, just use the rename feature to rename it from a .jpg or .gif extension to a .txt extension...

Or just get a glpics.com account.

[Death Mage]

You wanna save the manatee? Start eating 'em. Think about it, you know of many animals we eat that are near extinct? Just take a look at the cows! You make Manatee a prime cousine dish, you'll get a bunch of people starting to breed 'em to sell for meat, and before ya know it, we will have no problems with low populations of manatees.

</sarcasm>

[Courk]

In order for people to start eating them, they have to be removed from the Endangered Species list. In order for that to happen, they have to be saved now. Save manatees now so your children can enjoy manatee roasts!
