Red and Rover by Brian Basset for October 12, 2016

LOL! Brilliant, Red!

The perfect inspiration for Rover!

I couldn’t see it either. Thanks!

It was tough to make out the squirrel image for me, too.

Reminds me of the song from “How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying”: “Rip, rip, rip that Chipmunk off of the field.”

Apparently Rover has better vision than some of the viewers…

Thanks guys, for explaining the image. I couldn’t make it out, either!

I can’t do itals (ok on the caps)… how do I get itals on the c omments?

If you want to do italics, you put an underscore immediately before and after the text you italic. No spaces between underscores and text.

.

If you put spaces in, you get this: _ italics _

No spaces, italics

Bold, use the asterisk immediately before and after text.

Bold * (similar but not exactly the same as italics )

.

Two carriage returns to get lines separated.

.

As for the whys and wherefores, see this:

haha

thanks guys for explaining what he wrote on there.

Try putting spaces between the two test items.test test

All that work just to bold or italic-ize something. Not worth it! I have enough else to try to figure out!

If you want a BOLD ITALIC word then you write it as

.

uaWORDau, where u is an underscore and a is an asterisk.

.

You get BOLD ITALIC also if you use auWORDua

.

For multiple paragraphs:

.

_*Line breaks wreck the underscore, so you need an underscore at the beginning and end of each paragraph,

.

or it will not work*._

.

Line breaks wreck the underscore and the asterisk, so you need an underscore at the beginning and end of each paragraph,

.

or it will not work.

.

I SEE IT, I SEE THE SQUIRREL ON THE FOOTBALL! :-)

The whole message was a masterpiece of ambiguity, and never mentioned the absurd 200 stroke rule (now mercifully enlarged to permit more than just sound bites.
