Anchors everywhere!

UGAGal · #1 06-26-2003, 01:33 PM

So, do y'all get as excited as I do when you find anchors or just the word anchor in unusual places?

For example, I work in high tech marcomm/public relations and one of my clients is a German satellite company. I was working on a brochure today and found that under their military products they have ground satellites called Anchor Stations!

Then I was in a book store and kept noticing all of the books published by Anchor Books!

I was looking at the Web site of the school that a friend's children go to and saw that they have an anchor in their school logo.

Last month when I was in San Francisco, I had to have an Anchor Steam.

And of course I have an Anchor Hocking baking dish! (wow, it has very bad reviews on Amazon!

)

Wow, there are indeed anchors everywhere. We have a naval museum here in town (interesting, given that we are LAND-LOCKED

) and yes, there is an anchor out front!

Wow, that Anchor Hocking dish is a disaster!!

My friend told me that Anshors and Sailboats are gonna be really trendy this season (kinda like how there was a polka dot phase)

there's a company that makes liquid measuring cups and i believe drinking glasses as well, and their logo is an anchor and an H interlocked. I always get a little excited when I see it. Lemme go do some research...

[B]All right for those of you who have never posted a picture and need to know how, here are the steps. I would suggest practicing first and previewing your reply before submitting,

1. Find a pic

2. Right click on the pic
3. Click on PROPERTIES
4. After clicking on PROPERTIES, look for the ADDRESS (http)
5. Copy and paste said address
6. Come back to GC
7. Open up reply box
8. You can CLICK ON IMG square RIGHT BELOW the TITLE box, under SIZE OR you can type the following but ELIMINATE the SPACES -- [ IMG ] [ /IMG ]

If it works you should see a pic, if not TRY AGAIN. Rome was not built in a day. PRACTICE makes perfect.

BTW: I think that Lilly Pulitzer is protected against this in IE. However, if you have Netscape, you might be able to get the file path through that. I'll be back at work on Wednesday (where I have Netscape) and I can try then.

Hey, you did it! Good job! I saw you had some extra "tags" there so I edited those out (hey, what's a Moderator and a DG sister for?)

CutiePie2000 · #14 07-03-2003, 04:16 PM

I also saw some "golf shirts" at ROOTS the other day. They had an anchor on them, but to be honest, they were a bit on the 'fugly' side....

I have a ? for those of you who are still in college. Do yall get gift certificates for Express with the DG crest on them? We used to get these in college and just sorta assumed a DG works with the EO of Express. I was just curious if yall got these or if other sororities get these w/ their crests on them.
