code test - dev post? WIP

I will always picture Johnny Depp saying that, but I have a full time job so I can't spend all day looking at posters to buy of him saying it (although I almost did) - just needed to get this quote out of my head so I can focus. Instead, I just turned this into coding practice to try and figure out how to get this .GIF file onto a post using HTML... it is magical to me that this:

Now I need to fix my 'exclusivity at the time of order' SQL in 27 minutes- because procrastination has replaced my chemical motivation (yes, I used to think I couldn't work without getting high off opiates... honestly sometimes I still crave it for boring tasks. AH 26 minutes left! WIP- EDIT THIS LATER!!!
