"I’m gonna kill that f*****g guy. I’m telling you, it’s first-degree murder,"

[lukethedrifter]

I think that list is bogus.

Nameberry tallies which names attract the most views among the 14 million page views for all of the names on its site. The Nameberry popularity list measures which names parents are considering for their children in the future.

So, not the names people are actually picking, but the ones the users of this website happen to be browsing.

Here's the actual U.S. top 10 for 2012:

Hi, I am a Roller Coaster, & Every. Single. Image. of me on the Internet is larger than 130 pixels wide and 225 pixels high.

Which means that I cannot avatar myself...

Life is a roller coaster indeed...

[sighyoung]

I thought the image could be compressed for the avatar if you entered proportional coordinates (say, 150x140 instead of 300x280).

I don't know. But that is funny.

Pretty sure that WTF does NOT stand for "What The Funny"... But thanks anyway...

Or, If you were being serious, Then, Thanks! Being a natural stand up comic is my 69th calling, So much appreciated!

Welcome.

Probably should fix that giant sig, though.

Welcome.

Probably should fix that giant sig, though.

I know, But I like it...

I don't suppose there's a way to shrink the sig like I just did with the avi?
