WOW... RacerX..do you always think through things in such a complete way? I'd hate to see you text and drive...it'd be like every episode of Toonces The Driving Cat. Pretty much when someone spouts such thin 'how comes' and then posts all over the place with a bunch slobbering variations like you've been doing...it's because of a hugely bloated and leaky ego.

Quotechopper I have an 11x17 print I'd like to frame, mat and sell. I'd like to mat the image in the style of the US flag colors: red, white and blue. What is the dead easy "next size up" typical picture frame size for a matted 11x17 print? 16x20 does not seem like enough room to do the three mat colors. Anyone here buy frames and Mats online in bulk and have a good source?

Re: The Will Smith/Chris Rock thing wasn't the most shocking part of the Oscars (for me). - 1 year ago

I thought it was a worthy effort..tough story to tell properly, I liked the choices Campion made and i loved that it left you hanging out there with regard to what was coming with dear Phil..cause you knew something was coming...bit of a surprise-- excellent cinematography over pretty dark stuff, a measured study of stoicism, fear, homophobia..a modern western but everything is about as old schoo

QuoteYoyodyne ArtWorks Alopecia is a disease, not an “issue.” That is not the point here...and it can also can be an 'issue' in quite a few senses...but it's not the point The point is that you make an assumption that Chris Rock is a bad person because of this--because you made another assumption..that Rock knew about the alopecia...I doubt very much that Chris knew about the alopecia.

Re: Will Smith slapped the @#$%& of Chris Rock at the Oscars. - 1 year ago

Quite a few of you guys here making a a very wide assumption that Chris Rock knew about Jada's alopecia issue.... How can you possibly do that? Do you think that everyone is tuned into the Smith Family personal issue mill? Does Will Smith think the same? That would be awfully arrogant on his part.. The first thing that occurred to me is that Chris Rock did NOT know about Jada's alopecia i
