Friday Night BBQ, Beverage and How the [Expletive] Do You Post a Picture Thread
Mates,
Later start than usual, but we haven't had one of these in quite a while. Of course, what is or was on your plate, your BBQ, and in your cup?
Second, are you going to be at the Big House tomorrow?
Third, I see that I am not the only one who no longer has the ability to post pictures and gifs. However, I see that a few of you do, and I'm jealous.
Can one of you big brain folks teach a small brain like myself how to post a picture/gif? Would be greatly appreciated.
Hope you are well. Spring is here. Big meteor shower tomorrow night if you're in a clear place.

Nice lineup my bourbon buddy!!
Picked up a 1792 Full Proof store pick and a 1792 Single Barrel store pick recently. Started with Eagle Rare then Four Roses Single Barrel, now enjoying a generous pour of Blanton's store pick courtesy of another poster. 🥃🥃🥃
Happy Friday to all my Mgoblogger family 👍🤗

I drive an old Forester, but it's a helluva lot newer than your 1924 Forester.
Hilarious Rob!!!
‘Drinking’ an Oreo McFlurry with my beautiful twin daughters and about to start watching the Truman Show in the basement!
Cheers XM, Lakeyale and friends.
oreo mcflurry = winning. total garbage food, but oh, so good. twin daughters have them, too?
For sure - sharing with them is the key to the experience!
so true, so incredibly true.

Cheers! Twin daughters!? Awesome! I am an identical twin myself. Much love to the “Indy Family”!
Had a broken tooth pulled today, so no drinking and only eating soft food (mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese). You should've seen my face when the doctor said no smoking for 72 hours. Shit, I didn't even make it 72 minutes. 😊
No Big House.
I can't figure out how to do pictures. I loved being able to copy and paste images and gifs and hope we get that function back.
For some reason, I can only get gifs from giphy.com to embed here. Not from any other site. To embed something from giphy.com:
- Find the gif on giphy.com
- Click "embed" on the right of the gif and copy the embed code
- Come here and click the "<> Source" button
- This will bring up something like this:
<p>
</p>
5. Paste the embed code over the 2nd line (" "). Then click preview to see if it worked.
Someone please have a beer or two for me. Happy Friday, y'all!
via GIPHYwell, it looks like i made that work, 100% thanks to you.
sorry about that tooth though. no bueno. hope you are back in the saddle tomorrow. and no boxing or MMA matches tonight. let the gums heal.
Glad it worked. Nice choice!
rodney used to have an adult beverage or two with us back in the day, in malibu. we'd go to gladstones right on pacific coast highway. he was a good dude, very humble and fun.
Wow, hanging out with one of the most iconic comedians ever.
I absolutely loved him in Caddyshack!!
the folks that we might have rubbed elbows with back in the day was pretty extensive, whether out having fun or when i was working/bouncing at a place in downtown LA which was 'the place' to be 35+ yrs ago.
Your life too can seem extremely interesting if you just make everything up based on what other people post.
jon, you are fun, a recurring source of humor. thank you.
Leaked video from one of those outings.
Wishing you a speedy and complete recovery.
Thanks. It's not bad. But now I just wish I could have a beer.
Had a pair pulled Tuesday (the last of five: after two decades of avoidance and abuse, I finally got my act together, found a great dentist, and am getting at least one part of my life in better order) so I feel you there. Damn fine reason to increase the ice cream intake, as if I needed an excuse. I am healing well and quickly, and wish you the same and even more so.

I'm 2 weeks out from having 6 pulled over a 3 day period. Making a plan for a more permanent plan for health/cosmetic reasons early next month. Spent 43 years being embarrassed by my "smile." Can't wait for the next step!
April 19th, 2024 at 10:29 PM ^
Good luck, Yak! I'm pulling for you (bad pun intended).
April 19th, 2024 at 11:03 PM ^
Good for you! I'm starting the spark aligners soon, finalizing x-rays next week. Very excited to love my smile for once (although it will take 20 months).
I'm drinking some hazy ipa, some d'usse, and a few great lakes lagers.
April 19th, 2024 at 10:19 PM ^
Oof, double your pleasure, huh?
I hear you. I skipped the dentist during undergrad and grad school because I couldn't afford it. When I finally got a job/insurance and went to the dentist in 2007, it was time to pay the piper. Tooth pulled, bridge, crowns, fillings...
Wishing you a smooth and fast recovery, my man!
April 20th, 2024 at 12:08 AM ^
My son recently went through that, but thankfully not nearly as much work. Eight fillings and three deep cleaning sessions that required novocain. When he entered college, he had no fillings. It was such a bummer for me, who really tried to preach good dental hygiene. He just let it go.
No Orgi jokes tomorrow!
April 19th, 2024 at 10:09 PM ^
Blue@, can you post what the code looks like after you include the embed code for a photo?
April 19th, 2024 at 10:28 PM ^
I can only get it to work for giphs, and giphs from giphy.com at that.
But for giphs, it's interesting now that I actually look at it. If I am copy and pasting into a blank space, this is what it looks like:
<iframe src="https://giphy.com/embed/1oIlsbETtJUQSzIDNk" width="480" height="480" frameBorder="0" class="giphy-embed" allowFullScreen></iframe><p><a href="https://giphy.com/gifs/rodneydangerfield-trippy-optical-illusion-1oIlsb…">via GIPHY</a></p>
But if I type something first, then copy and paste, this is what it looks like before I paste the embed code:
<p>
Test message
</p>
<p>
</p>
and then this after pasting:
<p>
Test message
</p>
<p>
<iframe src="https://giphy.com/embed/1oIlsbETtJUQSzIDNk" width="480" height="480" frameBorder="0" class="giphy-embed" allowFullScreen></iframe><p><a href="https://giphy.com/gifs/rodneydangerfield-trippy-optical-illusion-1oIlsb…">via GIPHY</a></p>
</p>
Hope this makes sense.

Success
This was an image i had uploaded to mgoblog a few days ago for the Phoenix Coyote thread.
I took the code that Blue@lsu shared with me and first removed and tested what looked like extra code. Then i took the remaining code and just replaced the source url from giphy with the source url for my photo which I had uploaded using the MgoBlog file manager. You can find the url for the uploaded photo when you click the photo in the file manager.
After I was done, the code for this photo ended up as:
<p>
<iframe src=“ https://mgoblog.com/sites/default/files/users/user30750/2024-04/IMG_674…” width="480" height="480" frameBorder="0" allowFullScreen>
<p>
I could play around with or maybe remove the height and weight to make it fit better Not sure the other stuff is needed ether.
It wasn’t easy doing it on my iphone. I’ve never coded html.
Edit:
Anyone wanting to post a photo should be able to replace the url part of the following with the url for their photo. And if they upload their photo to MgoBlog I’ve provided instructions for finding that url.
<p>
<iframe src=
“https://mgoblog.com/sites/default/files/users/user30750/2024-04/IMG_674…”
width="480" height="480" frameBorder="0" allowFullScreen>
<p>
April 19th, 2024 at 11:15 PM ^
Here is a photo of where to find the photo url in the MgoBlog file manager. You can see it at the bottom just before the large version of the photo
&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/body&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;
April 19th, 2024 at 11:28 PM ^
Very nice work!
&amp;lt;/body&amp;gt;
April 19th, 2024 at 11:31 PM ^
Thanks
And thanks for posting the code
April 20th, 2024 at 11:20 AM ^
Boo you would show my Scouts skipping town for the Rockies…devilish.
April 19th, 2024 at 11:44 PM ^
Smoking is disgusting, mmmkay... I mean, it's so 40 years year ago...
Skimming through the thread, I saw your comment and comments of others (including XM) about not being able to post non-Giphy gifs. Not sure what you guys are doing wrong but I've had no problem posting gifs from Tenor or any other website.
↑↑↑ This is a heartwarming gif I just found on Tenor. One attempt and ... profit!
And this one from Gifer.com
...as long as the website has both the embed "</>" symbol and a way to then copy it to your clipboard, you should be successful.
now you're just showing off....
what about just regular old still frame pictures you find on the net, can you do those? and if so, please describe for the rest of us.
Michigan Michigan Football GIFfrom Michigan GIFs
This is what I get when I paste the embed code from Tenor. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
April 20th, 2024 at 12:18 PM ^
Again, no problem:
Can you share how you size them? I'm happy other folks have found a workaround for the button [insert greatbigshinybutton gif] but those images take up the whole screen and stretch coast to coast, LA to Chicago.
SD Jones is……Sade?
Who’d a thunk it?

Well, I've always fancied myself a smooth operator...
Beautiful day here in Washington and just finished a batch of pulled pork. Life is good.
I'd show you a picture but... you know.
You'll have to make do with a giphy facsimile. I did use bear claws.
