  1. Wait... We're not supposed to swipe the pictures you post? Damn, Jesse, I've got, like, dozens and dozens of them running as screen savers. You want them back?

    1. use all the screen savers you like, I'll make more. I've always been irritated with other blogs and tumblrs for reposting the stuff I find and not having an iota of respect enough to lay a credit under the image so people know where it came from. Truque for example, among many others, will credit everyone else for all the other images they repost, but not ever give my blog a single "found on" credit. It's annoying. Old Motor does it too

  3. You mean like your current masthead banner with the kids and the wagon and the MGB with flat tires? That came from Shorpy moderator tterrace: http://www.shorpy.com/node/3850

    Touche!

    1. Nope. No touche. Mike? Take a look at the banner... do you see a place for me to lay down the credit to the source like I've been doing on most of the 32000 posts so far? Back off. I didn't find it on Shorpy 8 years ago. You did. How? No idea. Good pull, compliments on that. But don't talk smack. You're not French, and this ain't fencing. I found it at http://www.overdrive.fi/forum/threads/vanhoja-valokuvia-ameriikan-raitilta.267070/page-104#post-3004471 so... don't bust my damn chops. I'm trying to be entertaining, and you're blowing it for everyone. WTF you think I was sitting on that photo since it was posted to Shorpy 8 years ago? Seriously? Be ashamed. I respect Shorpy, I've been there since he started, and even have a tag just for the images I find on hiw page. http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search/label/Shorpy

    2. C'mon, Jesse - I'm a fan, and you know it! I can't pick at you now and again?!? I got a good chuckle out of the whole situation. Smile, man - it's all good!

    3. I didn't get any sense of levity in your comment. It's simply a straight accusation, followed by Touche. You might want to work on conveying humor. It seems not only was I ready willing and able to accept all humor, I found exactly none. That's on you, not me. I get way too much flack for this blog, and about 40 sites that clean and clear jerk the images I find, or create, and zero source credit. I've clearly been giving source credit, and sometimes high praise to the sources of things I find online. Shorpy in particular. So... poke an angry bear with a sore tooth in the jaw, and bingo, you get this reaction. Throw pillows and it's going to be alltogether different with an exchange of jokes and humor instead
