I’d be willing to bet you forgot you asked me about “giant text.” I answered you at the link below.

unclear…….
are you saying to type in a quote ” (followed by an unknown number of spaces)
then the larger font pasted in, then two **?
obviously, what I just typed makes no sense…….but that’s what I got from
the instructions 
to quote Denzel W. , talk to me like I’m a three year old

Sorry about that:

I’ve gone back to the attachment and put a rectangle around what actually gets posted and hopefully clarified the whole process (It’s attached below).

As a habit now, I always open the “Source Code” brackets (red rectangle in the “Join the discussion” box and post between the < p >’ s so any coding the site will accept actually works.

The right leaning quotation marks are added by the site’s programming as they were here on my posting of

Remember this?

and above as a lead-in to the video (Oh, and while I haven’t got around to testing to see if it makes a difference or not I also added the “bold” tag set around the blockquote set as below; tightened up, of course.) {for some reason the “code” tag set doesn’t work.}

< b > < blockquote > < / blockquote > < / b >

Giant text clearer explanation I hope.PNG

“talk to me like I’m a three year old” ~ that’s what I always say about these things but I add ‘and include pictures and diagrams’.

Stel Bel – before a lot of time passes, you may want to correct the name of one of the co-stars of The Good Basset, the Bad Basset, etc. His name changes from the way he’s billed in For a Few Dog Biscuits More.

Absolutely beautiful posters    &nbspcomment image

I must not have been following “Cleo” at the original showing, or I was on one of my, at that time, voluntary hiatuses. I don’t recall them.

I love seeing Cleo get her due as A STAR. Plus, it’s Nighthawks & Stel Bel’s contribution to the end of sexism to cast a female in the lead, tuchus-kicking role. Eat your heart out, Cynthia Rothrock.

Stel Bel, What a treat to be reminded of all those Sergio Bichone films! And you have to admit, this time, that the human copies were pretty good. Especially the music!

Oooh, all THREE!

I loved those movies!

I knew I should have had spaghetti for dinner, instead of finally cooking my corned beef and cabbage.

The Old West in Italy and Spain… mountains and deserts that look so familiar and so… not quite….

Italian bassets and a few Spanish ones playing Mexican and Anglo bassetss… and a few Native American ones.

Hey, if Antony Quinn can famously play Zorba the Greek, and Mickey Rooney an embarrassing caricature of a Japanese detective… why not?

Ahhh…. Howlywood. Is it any wonder that no one in the US recognises any nationality or scenery on sight?

It’s probably a good thing, for this “melting pot” nation, that it all looks the same to us.

Cleo Clifford… riding forth to save one little town after another…

Not really the female Perro, although the job description is similar…

because for his swagger and flamboyance, she substitutes a tight-lipped mystery… a taciturn aura of competence.

Dennis says I’ll break the tie, between Eastwood and Clifford, ie, human and basset…

Well, it’s true, that I always give basset films the edge…

but as a female human, I have to admit that part of me wants to vote for Eastwood…. (OK, I feel your question coming… do NOT ask!)

On the other hand,,, as Liverlips notes… putting a female in such an iconic warrior role… wow… strikes a blow for females of every species, and she does it so well.

I might have to take one for the team and vote basset….

..
Then again… there’s that tall, lean stranger, slouching in the sun….

Choices…..

BOTH. I vote both.

Yes there is! Magnify and look at the the yellow basket on the far left. Just to the right, partially hiding behind the rabbits ear is the baby chick.

Please… EVERYBODY, not just Grog.. don’t give it away so early in the day, with no warning !

The best thing is to highlight your text, and click the [+] tag in the formatting box… A box will pop up in which you can type “SPOILER” or “SOLUTION” as a label.

Then it’ll hide it till someone clicks the label.

That’s how I post my Saturday puzzle solutions.

….

I don’t get a formatting box when I’m on my tablet, like now…

If you don’t get one, please….at least put SPOILER ALERT in caps first, and leave some space.

Thank you.

We can’t all be here right after every puzzle is posted, but I really like to do them.

This time,, luckily, I did solve it first… but I was just about to give up, and post that I’d be back.. .

and I’d have read the give-away..
