OK Go Trading Cards
This is where you can post the OK Go trading cards you’ve made!
To get started, go to this trading card generator site:

Even though this is completely unnecessary, I thought I’d post it just in case anyone is interested. If you’d like to have a paisley background for your trading cards, here are the templates, as well as a short tutorial on how to make them. I should stress that this really is unnecessary, but if you have some basic computer knowledge as well as a love for a slight challenge, then please read this tutorial that I have written!
All you need is some OK Go photos, the templates that I will provide, and an image editing program. *Please note, that with your images, it is recommended that they are larger than the box that you will put it in. You can crop it and resize it to fit later, but try to find something that is bigger than the box, or else resize it so that it is bigger.*
Step 1: Download one of these images to your computer.

Step 2: Open up the template in your image editing program. Select the text tool. Then, click on wherever you want to put text (in one of the three text boxes on the image) and type away. A tip: I used 18 pt. Times New Roman font for the top box, 16 pt. for the second, and 14 pt. italicized for the bottom box.
Step 3: Once you are satisfied with what you’ve typed, it’s time to insert a photo. Now, use whichever directions would apply to you:
Paint: Open up the photo you want to put on your trading card. Then, use the Select tool (on the upper right) to select the part of the image you want to use. Make sure it’s basically the shape of the big white box. Copy it, and then paste it on the the template move it and resize it as necessary.
Photoshop: Use the magic wand tool to select the inside of the big white box. Then, open up the photo you want to use, and paste it as a new layer over the template. Then, go to Select --> Invert. Finally, while still on the layer with the image, press delete on your keyboard.
Aaand that’s it. You now have a paisley trading card!
I'm sure there are other ways you can do this, but these are the steps that I know of. If you know of a better way, though, don't be afraid to do it!

Lol! Applelye, I love your use of the Ping Pong vid so righteously

yes! hurray!
haha. yeah, I was suddenly inspired, and watched the ping pong video again (and laughed at it, even though I've seen it several times) and then copied stuff down. of course, I'm not sure how any of those are attacks. reading it again, I'm thinking "wtf?"
anyways:
yay for stealing things. I robbed those lines from Andy's blog.
Wanted to make one. Hope the dentistry thing isn't lame and repititious. I just started thinking of "later I'm gonna cap your teeth," and suddenly felt like making it into a card.
Tempe that one cracks me up!
HAHHAHAHAHAHAH
HAHAHAHA. Perfect!
Totally agreed.
These are hysterical!
Humina-Humina-Humina.
I hope I look that good if I ever commit a crime.

It's part of my mourning process.
