that pop machine has been photoshopped in, you can tell be the white at the bottom of the picture, and also when this was doctored, he had the 'anti-aliased' feature checked - which blurs the the edges of the superimposed image to try to blend it better. if there is one thing i hate worse then a liar, it's a liar with poor photoshop skills... get a clue homie!!!

I think you may have mis-interpreted the image you are referencing here. Clearly Blink's post was supposed to be humorous, hence the HORRIBLE photoshop job. Even the most casual observer would know it's fake, without trying to analyze it pixel-by-pixel.

If there is one thing I hate more than rudeness, it's unprovoked righteous indignation.

I don't think Blink's the one that needs to get a clue, "homie".

The best are just pictures made in Paint, with the background set to white so you see the room, then the soda machine with a white background behind it and a really pixellated cut paste job.

I seem to remember you lecturing about poor sentence structure and spelling in a rant not so long ago. If memory serves I remember you made a typo in the process and voided your entire argument... :wink:

Yep! I believe you are referring to this post: viewtopic.php?p=139080&highlight=sentance#139080

In this case however, I was trying to somehow incorporate a bit of the OP's tone into my post. I know I'm periodically guilty of the same. :wink:

I understood it as soon as i saw it. made me laugh, especially because the pop machine was positioned slightly leaning to one side, the lighting wasnt matched, and it was directly in front of a framed picture on the wall. good job :)

Alright, alright. I think we need to get this thread back on track.

The others were right in that you should just call a locksmith for this issue. It would be cheaper than buying a tubular pick, and you would get a key cut for you, too. If you still have an interest in picking locks afterwards, you can learn on your own time and practice on locks you don't rely on.

Good luck. ;-)
