Well 72k is probably more a bit large for that lamptrails.jpg. in fact, it looks like you're downsizing it to make it fit in the space you've allotted for it, so you could easily resize it and lose a bunch of weight.

32K for meheadernew.gif seems a bit large as well. It looks like you have some solid blocks of color there, so I'm not sure why it's as big as it is. It looks like you've reduced it to 32 colors. You might see if you can reduce it to just 2 or 4 colors and still get the effect you want (you may need to choose web safe colors to prevent horrible dithering or see if jpg compression gives you better file size with those colors).

I'm on a T1 at work, and your site froze for me right after loading your "it's my duty to grease that booty" header for several seconds. Everything else seems to come in at once after that. That's probably because everything under that header is in a single table. If I remember right, every element of the table has to download and render before it will display, so you're bringing in all of the graphics and all the text that is displayed below the scroll line. That includes about 200K of graphics currently which is kind of a lot.

Basically, try to optimize the graphics to get them below 50K total, and consider CSS instead of a Table or consider several tables so you can render the page in chunks instead of all at once.
