never in my life have i used spacer.gif or blank.gif or whatever name people like to give it. actually i am not even sure what exactly people use it for (although i do have a general idea).
am i missing out on something really amazing? can i still be part of the cool club?

before someone tries to be a smart ass I'd better explain what it is..
spacer.gif or whatever you'd like to call it is just a transparent 1 pixel gif image that is used for layout purposes.
to space items a part without relying on other means. open up this page in your web editor and you'll realise what spacer.gif is used for

WOW!!! you must be a Coding God. Never using a spacer.gif, you should be really proud of that!

i use them cause i don't trust table width properties, etc. i think CSS covers this good, but i don't know it that good

Wasn't there a 'spacer.gif' gallery on here earlier?

i use to use it because like sauerbratin said, the width for tables never worked right on every browser.
but now i don't use it anymore because i really don't give a shit about old browsers. and margins and padding is all you need.

trans.gif is far far cooler than spacer.gif.
