Upload your image to imgur.com or some other free photo hosting service

Then get a link to the image, and type

Code: [Select]
[img]https://insertlinktothephoto.png[/img]
in your post. It should show up in the body of your post.

You can also obtain that link by uploading your image to imgur, and then clicking "Get Share Links". You should see four links with four options. Copy/paste the link that says "BBCode (Forums)" into your post.
Quote from: Bill Todman
"The sign of a good game, is when you don't have to explain it every day. The key is not simplicity, but apparent simplicity. Password looks like any idiot could have made it up, but we have 14 of our people working on that show. There is a great complexity behind the screen. It requires great work to keep it simple."

*ding*




Actual retail price, $1,888! *dingdingdingding* 9821, get over here! *2007 Come on Down Cue*





9821, that ring is yours, and it should be good for at least a few years. What else can he win, George?

George: How about starting things off with a bang? 9821, you have a chance to win $100,000!!!

(Suwemi's standing in the middle of the house. Hey, I can use my own models. :P)



You will be playing Pay The Rent.


Ah yes, THAT game. 9821, all you have to do is stack the items on the colored boxes and each level has to be more expensive than the last. Speaking about the items, here's George for details:

Thanks, rockyboy. We have...



...a 27 oz box of SeaPak Butterfly Shrimp...



...a 13.7 oz box of Nabisco Ritz Original Classic Crackers...



...12 3.2 oz pouches of GoGo Squeez Applesauce variety...



...a 27 oz box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch...



...a 3.95 oz bag of Charms Mini Pops...



...and a 96 fl oz jug of Lactaid 2% Reduced Fat Milk.


All right, George listed the items to you. Now you have to figure out where they belong.

...yikes. This setup isn't that friendly. Litebulb, I'm sorry I upped you to play this game  8-)

From top to bottom:

Attic: Shrimp
2nd floor: Milk and Lollipops
1st floor: Crackers and Cereal
Mailbox: Applesauce

Play on past the $1,000, but it is entirely possible I screwed this up in every way.

Well, he's not feeling confident about this, but decides to play for at least 5 grand. Let's see how much the applesauce costs.

*ding* *ding*




And you're going to play on, right?

9821: Yes

How much are the Cereal and Crackers worth? *ding* *ding*



$4.89 and $2.89 respectively; a total of...


*ding*



$7.78.


Well, you've already won $5,000! Do you wanna take the money and run or keep going? Be aware that you could lose all of your cash if the next one's wrong.

Ah, I mixed up the milk and applesauce. I think this is where I'm pulling the ripcord and taking the $5,000, unfortunately.

Rockyboy, you need to shrink your images so that they're less than, say, 1200 pixels wide. They're so wide that they're causing a scrollbar to appear at the bottom of your posts, and are causing hangups on my Internet connection.

"Change isn't always good. Sometimes changing things is a terrible mistake." - Bob Barker

People are tired of the f**kery and drama, but if we'd actually talk to each other sometimes instead of a whole bunch of private conversations with other people, it'd go a long way to perhaps fixing the problems most seem to see in the site.
