Pajiba Love

This is way cool! Reader Elizabeth started a Pajiba google map, so we can get an approximate sampling of our readership. Be honest! (GMaps)

What’d you rather? Gouge out your eyeballs edition: Watch Ernest Borgnine a’batin? (WIMB) Or a reality show starring Rumer Willis? Tough one. (WIMB)

All the hate and vitriol being spewed from the right-wing talking heads is finally getting somewhere. So good for them, I guess those assholes finally achieved what they’ve always wanted. (Deus Ex Malcontent)

That was depressing. So on a lighter note, you know what I almost never get tired of? Pointing and laughing at TK! Haw haw! (MiTM)

And while I’m poking fun at ‘jiba staffers… Agent Bedhead is totally having shexual dreams about the Jonas Brothers!!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!! (Agent Bedhead)

When it comes to choosing your next President, penis size may be the deciding factor. (QuizLaw)

Kate Hudson totally raided everyones collective mom’s closet. (Yeeeah!)

Aww, Portia and Ellen are getting married this weekend! Congratulations in advance! Now, I wonder which one is going to wear the tux..? (Celebitchy)

In today’s quest to scour the internet to bring you what I hope are some entertaining links, I have come across this one several times and it definitely bears repeating. (CakeWrecks)

If you’re going to name disposable panties “Oops!” it’s pretty much convincing yourself from the get-go that you’re going to mess them. (TIB)

As you may have heard by now, three guys from Georgia claim they have the remains of a bigfoot. And when have three guys from Georgia ever been wrong before? (YBNBY)

Did you know your iPhone can kill you? I kinda had an inkling, as my near involvement in fatal automobile accidents have gone up 90% since owning one. (CC Insider)

Sadly I’ve never been to Shopsin’s, but I did love the doc I Like Killing Flies, (thanks to John Williams’ recommendation) so I am totally psyched to hear Kenny Shopsin has released a cookbook/memoir. (SeriousEats)

This week’s Pajiba Love Friday Feature is Confessions of a Superhero, a doc which follows the impersonators who work on Hollywood Boulevard.

1 - I hate being beat out by the spambot. 2 - How do I put myself onto the 'jiba map??

Does Google Maps list:

"Somewhere in the Yukon tundra..."

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at August 15, 2008 3:53 PM

How do you add to the map?

Posted by: Riles at August 15, 2008 3:55 PM

I'm clueless on the Gmaps marker thing also.

Posted by: Justin at August 15, 2008 3:57 PM

Oh thank Godtopus! I'm not the only one who's clueless about how the map thingy works.

Posted by: BWeaves at August 15, 2008 4:03 PM

Elizabeth, that is freakin' cool!

Peeps, you hit the "edit" button in the left panel, then find your approximate location on the map, and then select the blue balloon-shaped "placemark" button. Then, just mark where your placemark goes, and you can enter your name in the title area when you get the prompt. Hope this helps.

Posted by: MO(meaux) at August 15, 2008 4:10 PM

Everyone else seems to be smarter than us, guys. I feel like I should know and I'm losing cred admitting I am stupid about this, but I don't know how to make it work either. :(

Posted by: Snath at August 15, 2008 4:10 PM

I think you have to be signed in to Google already, i.e. gmail. then you enter your address into the search bar, click on the pointer and hit Save to My Maps, and select Pajibians.

Posted by: Shadows of Dakaron at August 15, 2008 4:11 PM

...I knew that.

Posted by: Snath at August 15, 2008 4:16 PM

Thanks mo!

Posted by: KatSings at August 15, 2008 4:18 PM

Thanks for the help peeps. I was clueless too.

Man, some of you people live in the frickin' boonies! Mind if I hole up for a while during the undead apocalypse? I'll bring the s'mores.

Loved the cake website. One of my friends has a baby shower coming up, and I hope she never sees some of those cakes because it might give her ideas. 'Cause she's just that classy.

Posted by: Alabamapink at August 15, 2008 4:21 PM

Fun! You can almost see my broke ass car next to my apartment.

Posted by: Julie at August 15, 2008 4:24 PM

There appears to be a significant northeast presence.

Screw all of you...I don't wanna be part of your club anyway...

Posted by: Shadows of Dakaron at August 15, 2008 4:35 PM

You think that's bad, Shadows, I'm all by my lonesome (so far)in Western Canada! Replica, represent!

Ssssssoooo.....cccccooollldd...

Posted by: lordhelmet at August 15, 2008 4:39 PM

Cool! You can change the icon too! I've chosen a martini glass.

For obvious reasons...

Posted by: Trouble at August 15, 2008 4:40 PM

How fun! Thanks, Elizabeth!

Posted by: Lainey at August 15, 2008 4:41 PM

I changed my icon to one of my favorite pastimes, parking. Wacka.

Posted by: Julie at August 15, 2008 4:46 PM

Whoa...how do you change icons?

Posted by: Shadows of Dakaron at August 15, 2008 4:53 PM

'Bama, sweetie, you can hide in my boonies any day! (Boy, it sounds a little naughty when worded like that...)

lordhelmet, glad you made it--I was the lone Canuck for a bit there. Any other Maritimers out there? So lonely! *sniff*

Posted by: MO(meaux) at August 15, 2008 4:57 PM

Nevermind...I smart...

'Bama, sweetie, you can hide in my boonies any day! (Boy, it sounds a little naughty when worded like that...)

I like where this is going...

Posted by: Shadows of Dakaron at August 15, 2008 4:59 PM

Is anybody sure that Elizabeth isn't a goddam SpamBot using this as a means to pinpoint our locations? I mean, c'mon THINK ABOUT IT!

I love you all, but you're as good as dead to me now...

Posted by: Skittimus Maximus at August 15, 2008 5:02 PM

...and Shadows, the best part is that you can now in fact see exactly where this is going! Brilliant!

Posted by: MO(meaux) at August 15, 2008 5:05 PM

I can't wait to get my stalk on.

Posted by: Julie at August 15, 2008 5:05 PM

using this as a means to pinpoint our locations?

Well...tough luck for the people at the center of where I approximately live!

Posted by: Jay at August 15, 2008 5:07 PM


Yay! I got my T-shirts today (at work, since I'm
supposed to be on a T-shirt moratorium at home).

The boxes look like Godtopus itself mangled them
with its holy tentacles, but the T-shirts are fine.

The contrast on the MurderTank shirt seems a little
low, but that just might be my color-blindness.

Posted by: Drake at August 15, 2008 5:11 PM

Skitt...they're spambots! That means they're already in the computers, which means they already know where we live. So there's no help there.

This is just for us to be able to stalk each other. I have a large room with chains and manacled beds set aside for each and every one of my PajiLadies...

{winks at Julie, tamatha, and jM}

Posted by: Shadows of Dakaron at August 15, 2008 5:14 PM

Placemark 63 is blocking my cool snowflake icon! I'll have to move it a little west. It's approximate because Google doesn't recognize my address. Who the hell is Placemark 63 in Kenosha?

Posted by: Three-nineteen at August 15, 2008 5:16 PM

You're going to have to live without me on the map, because there's no "edit button" on my G-spot-map thingee. Just image theirs a little icon of a hammer right in the middle of Florida, cause, you know.

Posted by: BWeaves at August 15, 2008 5:39 PM

There's not theirs. I'm really not that alliterate (sic pun intended).

Posted by: BWeaves at August 15, 2008 5:41 PM

I also don't have an edit button. I feel ya BWeaves, and I wish I was in Central Florida, too!

Posted by: Kolby at August 15, 2008 5:59 PM

Man, this is going to be disingenuous no matter where I mark, I've lived in three different places (at least) since I started reading Pajiba and I expect my current location will change by Christmas at the latest.

Whatever, I'll represent Western MD for the moment. I think I'm just more anxiety-ish about this cause I got rear-ended today.

Posted by: Genny (also Rusty) at August 15, 2008 6:04 PM

*sigh* someday my icon will move to Portland.... someday...

Posted by: Stella at August 15, 2008 6:40 PM

First one in Michigan. It appears all the other rats have fled this sinking ship.

Posted by: Roaddog at August 15, 2008 7:06 PM

Mwah Ha Ha! Puny humans! Your locations have been compromised. Prepare for your inevitable destruction. You have all played right into my coldly maniacal, non-corporeal approximation of hands.

Posted by: Elizabeth's Spambot Apocalypse at August 15, 2008 7:08 PM

Come on, Chicago! There are a million coasters, but only two of us.

Posted by: Lucas at August 15, 2008 7:09 PM

Only one other person from the Greater Seattle Area? That honestly surprises me; this site is right up the typical Seattlite's bitchy, snarky alley.

Posted by: Mimi at August 15, 2008 7:16 PM

lordhelmet, Don't worry, you are not all alone. I'm a little further south, but not very far at all! But yes, there are very few of us representing the North, or I guess the western part of the continent at all. Damn Easterners!

Posted by: Miss_E at August 15, 2008 7:23 PM

Miss_E that's a relief, you're just down the road comparatively. I like how your little icon is the weather forecast here 95% of the time!

Posted by: lordhelmet at August 15, 2008 7:35 PM

But that's why everything is so green and beautiful. Which tourists don't seen to understand, because they come for the scenic beauty and bitch when it rains. "Gee, I wonder why everything is so green."

Whew, I just need to vent sometimes, I live in the middle of Tulip Festival land, and the hatred of flowers and tourists grows within me!

Posted by: Miss_E at August 15, 2008 7:39 PM

That map is freakin' awesome. I'm all alone in the middle though. Hey! someone in Morrocco! way cool.

I'll be in Texas soon, though, but for now I'll be happy to represent the Pajiba contingent in Central (not South, damnit) America.

Posted by: figgylicious at August 15, 2008 7:47 PM

You folks didn't listen to me when I warned you about the Feds taking over Pajiba's servers. Then you didn't believe me when I said the whole Top Ten Comments was a ruse to get you to give up your addresses. You scoffed when I proclaimed that the government was behing those spambots. Now we are actually putting all our locations on a single map for easy tracking. When the stormtroopers come flying through your window you better have that MurderTank fired up. They will be coming for all of us soon. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Posted by: JP at August 15, 2008 7:54 PM

I'd love to post Austin, TX as my home, but since I don't have gmail, I don't get to play. :(

Is there an alternative?

Posted by: Darlene at August 15, 2008 8:18 PM

Only three of us in Minnesota? And only in the Twin Cities, it appears.

Posted by: Snath at August 15, 2008 8:52 PM

Oh, no no, you don't need gmail *spits on the ground*. You can create a Google account with any email address. I just used a Yahoo address that I don't use when I had to test how the "docs" site works. Not to worry, everyone and anyone can get in there.

Posted by: Jay at August 15, 2008 9:02 PM

Holy smack! There are three of use Richmond Pajibans! How exciting. If you see a closely cropped chick in silver aviator shades lugging around a cute but mischievous toddler around town, that's me.

Posted by: Alabamapink at August 15, 2008 9:39 PM

Yay, I'm not alone in the Atlantic Provinces!

BrianG, I freakin' loved Rare Birds! (in fact, back in my MUN days, a friend of mine was an extra in it)

Posted by: MO(meaux) at August 15, 2008 10:01 PM

OK, so how do I delete my mistakes? Somehow I put in two extra placeholders.

Posted by: Cindy at August 15, 2008 10:08 PM

Never mind - I figured it out.

Posted by: Cindy at August 15, 2008 10:09 PM

Well, Placemark 63 (if you exist), it's good to know that there's a couple more Cheeseheads out there. See you around - I'll be wearing the MurderTank shirt.

Posted by: Three-nineteen at August 15, 2008 10:54 PM

uhm, i feel really dumb for asking this but could somebody tell me how to add one of those blue markers on the Google Map with my location?

Posted by: causaubon at August 15, 2008 11:01 PM

I can't believe that a hot sexy woman is marring Portia

Posted by: Pookie at August 15, 2008 11:01 PM

causaubon you are not alone, I've been trying to figure that shit out since since this morning.

Posted by: Pookie at August 15, 2008 11:03 PM

Well Mr. Spambot...

I see through your plan. I have intentionally directed you to the center of the river. Enjoy your trip.

I live in the metro area, but I am not telling you where.

You'll never take me alive!

Posted by: Melody at August 16, 2008 12:17 AM

You can see our house and car. How awesome is that?

Woo, Calgary!

Posted by: Mara at August 16, 2008 12:27 AM

I know, I know, I'm new and not hazed yet. But I didn't see any other Alaskans, and I'll do almost anything to claim my 15 minutes. Almost. Like I won't give up my Firefly DVDs or watch a movie starring a country singer, but displaying my address to strangers on a Google map? Done.

Posted by: sadlittlemuffin at August 16, 2008 2:44 AM

Well, Stace, at least you know by now that when I have certain dreams about certain famous types, it gets blogged. It's one of those things that I simply cannot suppress.

In other words, I am definitely not sex dreaming about Jimmy Fallon, Michael Bay, or Cisco Adler.

Posted by: agent bedhead at August 16, 2008 3:55 AM

Don't lie to me Bedhead, everyone dreams about Cisco Adler. Those fantastic balls!

Meh. I've marked my college rooms, so there's approximately 64 of us living in the building beneath my marker. I have few (if any) compunctions about hurling my roommates into the path of the swarmbots or stormtroopers or whatever the hell else and making a hasty escape out the back exit while they try to figure out from the sparse details of my comments here which of us is truly Shay.

Posted by: Shay at August 16, 2008 11:12 AM

Long time lurker, first time commenter.

Love the Gmap, thanks Elizabeth. It's pretty cool knowing we're spread all over.

Also the cake wrecks thing was awesome, go check out the homepage and see some other things that beggar disbelief. My fave was the "anti" sexual harassment cake. A classic.

Posted by: Smallblind at August 16, 2008 3:21 PM

I am pretty proud of myself for figuring out the edit function on the map pretty quickly. My mom was right, I am S-M-R-T smart. Well, except maybe for the pinpointing the EXACT LOCATION of my ACTUAL HOUSE to... well, the entire world.

Now, why are there only 2 Pajibers in the Jerz? There's a population of like 9 million here, and only 2 out of that 9 million read Pajiba? Come on.

P.S. Bigfoot? Totally real, dude. Seriously. All this "hoax" talk is a huge government conspiracy.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at August 16, 2008 3:29 PM

Sorry Anna but New Jersey is a sad place and it is not filled with sexy ladies like New York is. But you guys do make wonderful roast beef sandwiches, they are like heaven. Maybe if you guys did something with and crime and the smell and the cheap houses and the undocumented workers New Jersey could be a great place to drive through to see real America. Anna you sound hot, may I enquire as to Mr. Beaverplatz?

Posted by: Pookie at August 16, 2008 3:57 PM

Fact: I am located 2090.47 smoots from TK's map point. Incidentally, I am 2075.89 smoots away from The Field, but am usually significantly closer. Like in the 0-1 smoot range.

Posted by: elizabeth at August 16, 2008 4:51 PM

We need to start recruiting in South America. I'll take a trip down there and put up a table. I will stand behind it with a little sign that say "pajiba" and everyone will ask me questions that i cannot answer because I don't speak Spanish and can't possibly explain what an effing godtopus is to people using the three Spanish words I know "zapatos" "cerveza" and "baƱo"...
I forgot what I got on here to say.
Awesome map, Elizabeth.

Posted by: jamiepants at August 16, 2008 5:43 PM

So, are there 2 Seans in NE Ohio or 1 Sean in two places? Because it's looking like there are a total of 4 of us in the area and that's about 3 more than I thought there were. Also, this makes me waaay happier than it should!

PS: jamiepants, I'll totally go with you to South America because I know those 3 words *and* I also know "montequilla", so you know, we should be good...

Posted by: Lainey at August 16, 2008 6:12 PM

Elizabeth... that's actually my work location.

Which is across the street from the Field.

I'm just sayin' that, you know... that 5 days a week, I am across the street from The Field.

*cough*

Posted by: TK at August 16, 2008 6:35 PM

TK...huh. That's...*cough*...um, interesting.

Posted by: elizabeth at August 16, 2008 6:41 PM

No one else in the Erie area? Anyone? Beuller...?

Posted by: NoraBorealis at August 16, 2008 8:07 PM

It is, isn't it.

Anyone else (just, you know, out of idle curiosity) happen to be in that general vicinity?

Posted by: TK at August 16, 2008 9:00 PM

Oh my fucking Godtopus! It took me for fucking ever to finally get myself placed on that frickin' map. Now my head hurts.

Elizabeth thanks for getting this ball roling.

TK thanks for the idea of how not to show everyone exactly where I live.

Posted by: tamatha at August 16, 2008 9:56 PM

oh google maps, how much fun you provide. of course this map just proves i'm the only pajiban (apparently) stuck in tucson. lame.

Posted by: betsy at August 16, 2008 10:16 PM

Wow! There is one other Alaskan pajabite. Yay!

Posted by: libraryliz at August 17, 2008 1:10 AM

OK, that's kinda freaky. Some Google user called Maev moved my place marker from my college rooms to right next to my family home - he/she was about half a mile off, but they were in the right suburb only a few minutes drive away...that's realyl disturbing! Who the hell is Maev and how does he/she know where my other home is?

Posted by: Shay at August 17, 2008 10:04 AM

Nice to see there's at least some Western European Pajibites, but DAMN it's lonely out there in the 2nd world.

Posted by: wojtek at August 17, 2008 10:06 AM

Really, Pookie... there are plenty of sexy ladies in NJ! I, myself, am very sexy. I have pretty chestnut hair, and green eyes, and gazongas like a cartoon character.

Also, we have many exciting attractions! There's 6 Flags, there's the Jersey Devil down there in the Pine Barrens, and don't forget about the best little section of shoreline on the east coast! Once you wade out past the biohazardous waste and multitudes of stingy jellyfish, it's beautiful! Plus, for those visiting from NYC or the L.A. area who miss home, we have penty of drive by shootings in historical downtown Newark! New Jersey and You, Perfect Together!

As to Mr. Beaverplatz, well, he disappeared some time ago under... shall we say, "Mysterious Circumstances".

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at August 17, 2008 10:23 AM

See, Shay. They already tracked you down. Your family has been compromised. They've been brainwashed and now they spy on you for the gestapo. Stop all communication with your family. And go ahead and drop out of school. Sleep well.

Posted by: JP at August 17, 2008 1:05 PM

I do not actually live in an elementary school. It's pretty close to my house, though. Too many of you psychos already know where my specific, actual house is... and I wanna be able to sleep with both eyes closed.

Posted by: Sarina at August 17, 2008 1:37 PM

See, Shay. They already tracked you down. Your family has been compromised. They've been brainwashed and now they spy on you for the gestapo. Stop all communication with your family. And go ahead and drop out of school. Sleep well.

"Compromised my family" - ha! What a laughable concept! I have concluded that my earlier panic was simply a manifestation of my inherent 'human' irrationality, and have dismissed it as such. We have nothing to fear from our new spambot overlords. By all means, continute posting your locations and intimate personal details on this website! Why not post the details of your nearest political and/or military leaders too? The spambots will certainly make no attempts to plant spies here to watch you all!

Posted by: Meatsack #5063492778 ("Shay") at August 17, 2008 4:34 PM

oh quit yer whining, wojtek. look east- it's even lonelier here in the almost 2nd world.

Posted by: causaubon at August 17, 2008 4:47 PM

"Meatsack #5063492778 ("Shay")"

Great. Now I've got the spambot apocalypse version of the Oscar Meyer song stuck on a loop in my brain.

"My meatsack has a number... it's 5-0-6-3-4..."

Posted by: Sarina at August 17, 2008 4:49 PM

Great, Sarina. Now I have the meatsack song in my head. Thanks a load. A giant inflatable poo load.

Love the map!

Posted by: HB at August 17, 2008 5:00 PM

Boy, did you come to the wrong website. Half of us are lunatics.

At least you and I are norm....wahoaofasofaasodaasjsakfkkoookoookaaaachoooo!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at August 17, 2008 6:10 PM

Guys, help me. I just saw that movie clip again, of the lion being reunited with it's human daddies after a year of roaming in Africa, and I can't stop crying. Awg. My glasses are all foggy.

Posted by: Loob at August 17, 2008 10:44 PM

Goddammit!!! The fuckin' Pajiban Google Map hates me! I keep placing myself on it, saving my changes and everything, and fuck if it isn't missing the next time I check. What the hell am I doing wrong?!?!

Posted by: tamatha at August 17, 2008 11:02 PM

tamatha, you're on there. Go to page 3.

Posted by: Lainey at August 17, 2008 11:19 PM

ARRRRRRRGH!!!! I AM GOING TO START SCREAMING!!! Oh wait, I already am screaming.

Why oh why does the map have three pages?!? What is the purpose of that, besides, you know mocking me? Look there I am on page two. Oh, and HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA there I am on page three--TWICE!!!! It's like some horrible cruel joke. The best thing? When I try to sign in so I can fix these problems, no Pajibans show up at all. Google tells me it's the Pajibans map, but NONE OF US ARE THERE!!! And when I'm not signed in, I CAN'T EDIT ANYTHING!!!!

Jay I may just join you in your anti-Google stance after this completely frustrating process.

I HATE YOU GOOGLE MAPS, I HATE YOU!

Now, can anyone fix this? Can you take away the three tamathas so I could, you know, start over with a nice clean slate? Or give me really specific step-by-step instructions so that I can fix it myself. Anyone?! Fuck, I should just go to bed. Of course, I'm probably going to have nightmares about unsuccessfully placing myself on the Pajiban map.

FUCK!

Posted by: tamatha at August 17, 2008 11:28 PM

Lainey- yeah, but I'm not on page 1, which seems to be the main page/map.

You know what they say about having just enough knowledge to get yourself into trouble, well that's how I feel about this frickin' google map--I learned just enough to fuck it up. But not enough to fix it.

Grr.

Posted by: tamatha at August 17, 2008 11:32 PM

tamatha, deep cleansing breaths... Ok, I just experimented and I deleted one of your markers. I think if you click "edit" and then find one of your markers and click on your name, the box will come up and on the bottom there will be a delete option. Click on it. A dialog box should come up asking if you want to delete it - select yes. What's the worst that could happen?

As far as page 1 goes, I think it's just full, which is why it's spilled over to 3 pages now.

Posted by: Lainey at August 17, 2008 11:42 PM

Lainey--Yeah, somehow I was able to outsmart Google maps (at least for a few minutes) and actually got in there to delete two of my markers (I was wondering if one of the Pajibans had come to my aid and had gotten the other one--thanks!). I also kind of figured out that perhaps we just can't all fit on one page--which is kind of sad. I wanted to see all of us all squished together. Oh well.

Posted by: tamatha at August 17, 2008 11:55 PM

I'm from Palo Alto! Where the conference was! Oh lordy, I can't believe I missed my one and only chance to see the plasticine remains of the missing link! St. Darwin, forgive me.

Posted by: Colombo at August 18, 2008 1:46 AM

OH MY GOOD GODTOPUS I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!
I have literally just spent the last hour of my workday trying to get myself on that map. (!) First it loads but I don't know how to use the edit function. Then, I finally figure it out, but Google shits itself and won't stop continuously scrolling North for some stupid arsehole reason!!!! Argh.
And now, just to really make my afternoon, the page won't load at all. I'm going home :(
Why does Google hate me I just wanted to show my Pajiba pride!

Posted by: BrisVegasBec at August 18, 2008 2:00 AM

Phew! Never mind. Once more was the charm..
Turns out I just had to get on here and slag it off for it to work! Yippeee!

Hey, sweetpea lives super close to my brother! (He's in Lehigh Acres or whatever-it's-called.)

My marker was moved far into the Atlantic. Jordan, whoever you are, I'm coming for you.

Google map makes my Monday!

So far, only 2 people in OTTAWA! there must be more of you....

I'm so alone in Orlando! I gues no one wants to be around the Rat...

Don't tease me, dammit.

You tell him....tell him I'm coming! Tell him I'm fucking coming!

I think that sometimes, over-easy is the way to go. Granted, scrambled is good, but there's just something about over-easy...

Goddamed map. I tried it. Didn't work. If anyone wants to know where I'm at, just ask. I'll give an exact location as well as directions. We'll meet at dusk. Alone. Atop a parking garage. Then the grappling may begin...

Finally! Nobody told me I had to add that shit to "My Maps" first. In any case, there is of course no one else in Flagstaff, AZ. Surprisingly, there are only a couple people in Phoenix and Tuscon. Do Pajibans hate Arizona or something?

Hey Trouble: I'm in Orlando, too.

And Kolby: You really don't want to be here right now. Fay's on her way.

Che-- Please turn your placemark back into Super Grover! That image made me smile. The new one is cute, but not as fun.

And how do I change my placemark from the boring blue upside-down raindrop to something more interesting?

Skitt--you must persevere! It took me several tries, and much cursing and screaming (see above posts--honestly, for awhile there I felt like I might be channeling you, what with all the caps lock and all). And remember to look for yourself on the last page (currently page 3). It took me the longest time to figure that shit out.

Yay for O-Town Pajibites! Thanks for making me feel less lonely, BWeaves!

Kolby, 'tis true Fay is on her way. Hopefully, she'll just bitchslap some trees and then be on her way.

Jay, I hope you're coming to have a bitchfight with the Rat. If so, I'm there! Fuckin' rodent!

As you wish, tamatha. You're a friend of the revolution.

Once you open My Maps there should be a button labeled "Edit" at the top right corner of the list of placeholder/member names. Click Edit, then click your icon on the map (or to be certain scroll through the list of names on the left and click yours). At this point you should see a comment box appear above your icon on the map; click the icon in the upper right corner of the comment box and you should see a dialog box offering you options for changing the icon.

I hope I've described that well enough for you to be able to muddle through...

Thanks Che! On both accounts.

I hope you're coming to have a bitchfight with the Rat.

Oh HARDLY! No no no. While I may have Wilsonian rage and persistence, it's because we've been kept apart for too long. But the end to my nightmare is in sight, and I'm back in a position to get my best friend back over to this side of the country for the unfinished business of taking her to EPCOT. I insisted, in the name of my father, that if we only went for one day, it had to be the Magic Kingdom. For the first time it was I making the dinner reservations at the Liberty Tree Tavern. And that was six years ago. But of course we'll do both now. Ya can't just go to EPCOT 'less you're some kinda stupid weenie.

I grew up three hours south, but now you have to do a driving day and it's a much bigger production and dad's gone and my sister's got her own family to go with so my jones gets a lot of time to steep and simmer. But the cheap and uncrowded off-season's reaching its arms out to me, telling me to end this torment. And I shall.

I DO have wings! I CAN do all these things!

I live in the boonies and I'd invite you all to stay, only none of you live close enough. Roaddog? Are you "Jim" on that map? 'Cause you're the only other Michigan Pajiban.

So lonely...
