They should auction those pants on e-bay, it would raise a lot of money for some charity. I would start the bidding-I wonder how high the bid would go. Great Story!

Betty, that is a great idea. Then you'd have

The columnist is just the messenger. Gord is a topical entity here in Toronto and he thought it would be of interest to folks who like Gord and golf I guess. And he expressed his opinion on the pretentiousness of the golf "wardrobe".

Gee, ya know, if he was wearing that pair of pants that he has on in one of the Sunday Concert pictures (you'll recognize them right away - real 60's ugly. The kind of stuff we thought looked really cool at the time... Anyway, any pants that ugly would fit right in on a golf course!

Kudos to Gord for showing up for the game in the attire that suits him best! I mean, can anyone really imagine him in golf clothes? I just can't picture it.

A.First copy the complete URL B.then go to http://www.notlong./com http://www.notlong1.notlong.com C.Then paste the complete URL into the upper box, replace the random name in the box front of the "dotnotlongdotcom " with your choice of a short succinct snazzy word/expression http://www.notlong4.notlong.com D.Then press "Save as" and after it has been saved you will get a screen showing a link to the notlong url you decreed [plus a password-in case you one day wish to amend the link later) http://www.notlong3.notlong.com E.If you were then to click that link you should then be forwarded to the URL you wanted and thereby prove that it works (if not have a strong cup of coffee while you ponder where you went wrong!!! So just what is all the fuss about?? I will admit that there is one small complication. when you nave uploaded your picture to the MSN group you need to establish its address by right clicking on the full sized pic (not the thumbnail) and select "properties" you will see a box like this:- http://www.properties2.notlong.com and you must then highlight and copy the address (url)which in total will be something like the long sequence shown below http://www.fullurl.notlong.com Note that in the case of pix on the MSN group there will be some extraneous characters after the vital "jpg" so only copy as far as "jpg" and paste just that "minimal" URL into the notlong box as shown in C above. After you press "save as" you will get a clickable link to the final notlong URL which should then prove to you that all is in order!! If not try something stronger than coffee and take deep breaths! Whatever you should eventually produce a nice useable link that will display your chosen page or picture viz:- http://www.lautens2.notlong.com I tried "rlautens.notlong.com but that was already taken so perhaps after all Char you did try to create a useable link??? ------------------ My Gordon Lightfoot webring starts at http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/lightfoot [This message has been edited by johnfowles (edited October 06, 2004).] |
