Nothing is more fun on the internet then playing smack down with Jim Groom. He is relentless, but like a good tussle with that rubber stretch toy, I wont give in easily. Over the last few days, though, poor bava boy Jim was been shrinking in stature.

It started out when his endless twitter stream of “iHate iPad Lovers” compelled me to conjure up from the archives this damning piece of evidence:

It’s his insane tirade of false superiority for being on the same lame WordPress template he stumped across (let’s not even dissect his mangled use of language claim of being “themogamous” — when really he is “monothematic”) and constant taunting me for the current theme I put in place recently that hatched an evil plan.

What got me inspired about the HoPE theme I use here is the dynamic top right image pane, which pulls recent images from my flickr account, the default being the first of the last batch of images added.

And I got this idea (cue maniacal laughter).. if I took a screen shot of the entire header including the image above, then in an hour it would appear like one of those infinite barbershop mirror illusions. So I repeated the cycle several times, upload a screenshot of the header to flickr, wait til it appeared in the blog header, lather, rise, repeat, laugh.

Honey, I shrunk the Bava!
