Ghetto documentation & car talk

[Bill Irwin]

They are .dat files.  A .dat file generally contains data.  Some photo editing programs generate .dat files to store data about the pic that you are working on, they should be discarded after you finish editing the photo.  The mistake that people sometimes make is that they see the file name of their photo and think it is the .jpg file.  It's a common mistake, there is no photo hiding in a .dat file.

  Well how disappointing.  I tried every type of download attachment/photo viewer I had, and still couldn't bring up the scanned photo or flyer you sent.

    This was hell scanning. The original was by Terry Rains

    "EAT YOUR LIVER!!
    Moriaty,
    Your CLASSIC automobile, 1950 vintage, has been DESECRETATED BEYOND 
    BELIEF by surely enough yours truly G.K. SHELTON, just like I 
    threatened to do months ago. And to add incest to injury, I have to 
    date won THIRTY-FIVE DOLLARS in prize money, many times the f ace value 
    of the vehicle.
    You must commend me on the paint job, which undoubtedly makes it 
    the gaudiest car at the Austin Speed-O-Rama, if not exactly the 
    fastest...(as of this writing, only four or five of the original eight 
    cylinders function properly, and as a result I have only two fourth 
    place finishes to my record)
    -Shelton"

    The other side of the car proclaims it to be "The Mary Jane Special 69" 
    leaving us to imagine whether the lady or the herb.
