This little camera is making me paranoid. LOL. It looks like some sort of pop-up advertisement......or a virus. I'm afraid to open it. When you roll the mouse over it, it says "Picture Battles".

I noticed it yesterday. I guess I'm either bolder or stupider than you guys. I clicked on it and it took me to a new (new to me, anyway) FTE page of "Picture Battles". You see two pictures and click on the one you think is best. Like I need another excuse to sit here and neglect farm chores or working on my truck!

Do not fear Grasshopper, the camera is your friend. Click and be enlightened.
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that they are not really after you!

Doc: Don't worry, It was probably the IRS or FBI checkin' up on TruckStock. I called our Prime Minister and told him to tell Barack to "back off".............It's all good

If this becomes an annual event, I will throw my parka and toque in the hamper, feed the sled dog's and either drive my 56 there or hop on a plane. This event is something I'd really like to attend, but due to financial obligation's this is one thing I have to plan for a year in advance. My son is 14 and a very good goalie in hockey, when scholarship come's, maybe I'll let him go to the nearest KY. college. Last year we had a call from the University of Colorado asking about him, I said " do you realize he's only 13 yrs old?" they said sorry we must of made a mistake, I said:" keep this number and call us when he's 16yrs old ", lol. Back in the late 70's and early 80's before I got Married, I was in the van craze, and travelled where and when I wanted. Now, or untill my kid's are grown ( barring a lottery win ) I will have to finish my truck first. September is still a month away, and if I can find a way to do this, I surely will. To those of you attending: Give a toast to those who can't attend, and we'll toast you back. Thank's Doc for what you're doing, You've been an inspiration to a lot of us to get our butt's of the couch and get workin' on our truck's so we can attend a future event. I'd just love to see a face and meet a lot of the guy's on this site. I'm not French, but " VIVA LA TRUCKSTOCK ' Y'all.

Yeah, I have it too. And I am not clicking on it, either. I figured it was just another ad to avoid, as this site has too many to begin with. A night doesn't go by where I don't have to close my browser and log back in because the page won't load because it's jammed up on ad overload.

The two pics it wanted me to vote on were of a battery with a rusty holddown and an air cleaner... tough choice.

The is tied into a survey service. I've noticed a few times when I leave FTE I get a little box asking me to take a survey, "It will only take a few minutes", a few minutes I'm not wasting on taking a stupid survey.

I've only clicked on it twice, once to see what it was and once to put up a screenshot for this thread. Both times both pictures were so uninspiring that it wasn't really a choice of which was best, rather which was the least worst. Kind of reminds me of US Presidential elections....
