It is a replica, sitting on the bed of the truck (actually I'm not even sure if it is an exact replica or just a similar looking scene with young revolutionaries and all that, but what you see in the picture is definitely on the truck-bed and not behind the truck). It definitely was really impressive, and one of my favorites of all the floats we saw.

That's for sure not T-Square anyhow though, there's no asphalt in the square!

Well, this particular picture is a) drop-dead gorgeous and b) a long-standing tradition here.

There are times when tradition is a good thing, and the Christmas season is arguably one of those times. agagagagag

There are also times when traditions must come to an end, and the cover photo, a feature here since day one over 7 years ago, is probably ending after the New Year. It's a lot of hard work that yields me nothing but bitching and whining, so to Hell with it. asasasasas

It's a beautiful pic for sure but I always preferred that the more traditional Foreign teacher as Santa pic you used to use. Btw Raoul, did you keep the hat?  aaaaaaaaaa

7 years is a long time especially for the tech side of accessing the Saloon. It's way more mobile now and that means we always have to pay attention to people looking over our shoulder. I would love the front page avatar to stay but not on every page, so I can open the 'Unread since your last visit' page without worrying about who is looking.

Actually, I tried that picture only briefly. It drew a lot of bitching and whining and didn't last long at all. llllllllll

And I never worked with a hat, myself. uuuuuuuuuu afafafafaf

I only ever whined about one. (that pig thing still creeps me out! aaaaaaaaaa)

I think it's a great tradition.  We just need to mix in a few "not quite so disturbing" ones with the "please make it stop!!!" ones.

I just caught this thread by accident, clicking on the wrong link.

I'm shocked. Absolutely shocked! Is this really the kind of saloon I want to be in?

I have a wife and daughter.  I don't want them to know anything about this!  It's all in the past.  How did you find out about me?

I wish you wouldn't ! I, for one, trust your judgment. bfbfbfbfbf You know the old saying about pleasing some of the people some of the time etc. Anyway thanks very much for the enjoyment you have given to many because of the great variety of pictures you have chosen for us. I certainly would not have the patience to do the great job that you do here at the Saloon. agagagagag

What GM just said.
When in doubt, consider what you've accomplished with the saloon, and how you've done it. We may be a rowdy, raucous bunch, even obnoxious at times, but we wouldn't be together without you.

BTW, I like EL's suggestion:

Standard procedure for new Saloon member applicants is to run a complete background check through all "degenerates" databases worldwide.  That lets us only let in those seriously disturbed people who will fit in with the crowd here. ahahahahah
