Can I get rid of that guy with the floating T-bone on the front page?

What browser are you using? Firefox's AdBlock extension has rid him from my life quite nicely.

I agree but, more importantly, how did you get those flickr thumbs into your profile?

Like this.

I'm not sure how browser support works from custom user stylesheets, from browser to browser, but I'm guessing that throwing this in for www.metafilter.com would do it:

#menu div a img { display: none; }

Neat, thanks.

Now if I could only learn to take a decent photo of something

Not until you buy one of the tshirts. And one of the floating tbones.

The floating T-bone is totally the wrong colour in real life.

It's also hard as hell to get on the freaking grill.

Did you mean get rid of that guy or get rid of that guy's photo?

IronLizard, you need a good camera...

Please don't use MetaFilter to break the law.

So like, what browser are you using fourpanels? You could get the answer in the first comment with that bit of info.

Yeah--I normally use Firefox with AdBlock+ all the time. The first time I fired MeFi up using IE a little while ago, I was like "What the hell is _that_ doing there?"

IronLizard, you need a good camera...

So you're saying my s5200 is a bad camera? Or is my a540 a bad camera? Look at the photo galleries from cell phones, for chrissakes. Don't blame the tools...
posted by IronLizard at 3:46 PM on May 25, 2007

You're right; a good photographer would be able to capture great images with those cameras... however, it's a HELL of a lot easier to get decent images with an SLR and a pro lens.

I don't rate cell phone photos much.

Well, that said, they're not all that bad.

_{Sorry for the derail. We now return you to your favorite t-bone and t-shirt thread.}

I got my shirt today. It closer to the color that almost no one likes than it is to the background of MeFi. It's too light. Also, L isn't even large enough for me and I'm not a big guy by any stretch of the imagination. I should have gotten XL. ("Large enough for me" means you can't easily tell I have a moderate potbelly. In this shirt, you can.)

The blue color is totally wrong in real life. The piss-green color of 'Filter' is screwed up too. The ad picture has most assuredly had it's color modified. I know shirts exist that are the right color: the color of the shirt I'm wearing here is exactly right.

Piss-green?
posted by stavrosthewonderchicken at 11:15 PM on May 25, 2007

So... what does the T-bone represent, anyways?
posted by Citizen Premier at 4:47 AM on May 26, 2007

Sharing.
posted by cortex (staff) at 7:35 AM on May 26, 2007

It's can't be. I never share my t-bone.
posted by IronLizard at 12:41 PM on May 26, 2007

No, the monkey represents sharing.
posted by jtron at 12:54 PM on May 26, 2007

Crap, I should have checked with a consultant.

Yeah, I would have said it is more like piss-yellow, myself.

My concern is a bit more about people who actually pee green. Time to lay off the asparagus or something, maybe...

Oh my god, I misread the title of this MeTa and thought you were punning on steak.
If you were serious - and I'm assuming you were - I'm really disappointed you didn't mention your $5.
