Being an animated giffer, I see your point. Everyone that submits posts them inline at 100K and above. BAD KITTY! You need to make a point of it to post at 50K and below. I myself try to do that, ok 60K max.
Now as far as this contest is concerned, I can't see topping it so I won't try.
The guy is standing there getting kicked in the nuts. Duh.

I hate discussions on the 'shop threads, but from the FARQ:

You may have an internet connection that operates at twice the speed of light, but many of your cofarkers still rely on the trusty old 56k dialup routine. Do them, and the internet in general, a favor and compress your images! (In Photoshop use the "Save For Web" option under the file menu.) Most of the images you post will be between 15-30k. Consider linking rather than displaying an image if it is larger than 70k. Exceptions are made when it's obvious, such as a banner or animated gif contest.

The recent worldcom would be exempt, but this nut kicking one isn't. Also, there's a 140K gif in the upcoming playmate photoshop. That's ridiculous. Not to insult, but it sucked to boot. ;)
