[niceguyrichy]

damn, wish you'd started this yesterday, i could've arranged something cool..

[trentspc]

i was thinking that aswell, hold up a banner and run though getting good pics..

[Snatchy810]

Im having a few issues uploading a photo to the wall of facebook it says :
Failed to upload photo.

There was a problem with the image file.

Its just a jpeg image, cant see why its not working =[

[trentspc]

damn i could really do with that ssd, i need something good..

[kosch]

@Snatchy810 it could be too big or timing out. Trying reducing the file size by reducing the size of the picture or use a higher compression when saving.

[f12f12]

are we limited to one entry per person?

and we have to be in the picture?

[big_al]

I could get it tattooed on the wife's bum but a tattoo that size would cost more than the value of the prize :D
