Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

but I save money by not needing a cable box.

But you're paying a monthly fee to TiVo, right?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Nope -- I got a lifetime subscription, baby!

Which they are now offering again.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Me too!

Now tagless for your comfort.

You're already at HD, Cash? They might, then. Mine didn't since I was switching to HD at the time and it was all the one effort.

Yeah, we're already HD. I think the combination of renting the DVR + their monthly service fee for the DVR "package" comes to somthing like $22/month, so the Tivo deal with the lifetime subscription should pay for itself over the life of the machine.

How do I edit text in a jpg?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

You'd have to use some kind of image-editing software to erase what's there and replace it. It's not like the text is stored separately -- it's part of the graphic.

Name some image-editing software.

I've been asked to edit a jpg and I'm not sure I have the proper programs to do that.

hip deep in pie

I bought three years of Tivo Service when I hooked up my TiVo, should I wait until the last year of that for a lifetime service offer, or will they discount me now for what I've already paid?

Photoshop? PaintShopPro?

You might be able to do it with MS Paint, but it depends what the original graphic looks like and how good the end result needs to look.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Photoshop express -- free, online [link]

BUT, the basic problem will apply no matter what program you use -- if you need to add type, it'll be easy. If you need to change type that's already there, you'll have to crop it out or cover it up.
