Lurkur Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 So how did the Cheerleader thing work out, Boo? Those young and nubile girls overly impressed that you work with Photoshop? Yeah, I get that all the time too. Some lovely young thing says, "Oh, you're an Illustrator? Let me sit on your lap while you tell me all about it!" And that doesn't take into account the many times I've been in public and some desperate soul shouts, "Is there an Illustrator or a Retoucher in the house?!" To manfully walk forward, all eyes on you, and capture the moment in a true yet aethstetically pleasing manner. The gratitude of the people, the "Well dones" and shouts of "Huzzah!"; those are the things that make all those years of doodling in class seem worth it. Yep, the Illustrator. The Art Grunt. The Draw Boy. It's a high and rewarding calling... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aces_and_8's Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 Ah...Maryland, my Maryland...a forsaken land with a fosaken people. Currently Ground Zero for the <Font size =+5> FINGER OF GOD! <Font> I think I shall put on my wet suit, flippers, snorkel, and mask, then go forth and chip a hole in the 4 foot high ice ring surrounding my Mustang, before it fills and drowns my baby. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
**YK2** Posted February 6, 2004 Author Share Posted February 6, 2004 Song or poetry? He was too old for that bar but it was the only one around And he needed a beer So that's where he was found He took an empty stool amid the jocks and punks He could take them all to school when it came to being drunks Miles from home again He was overdrawn on luck Hoping that tomorrow they'd find that part for his truck So he drank a beer, then two as a rock band hit the stage When all he wanted to do was have a drink with folks his age Then the beer it turned to whisky The barmaid ran a tab You can hit freefall until last call when you're traveling by cab There were young girls in the mirror with no trouble on their minds As the picture became clearer he stared ahead just to look behind Then the band kicked off their first set They wore their guitars well There was anger, light and speed, every whistle, every bell They had smoke bombs, they had lasers The singer banged his tambourine But it's hard to play the music when you're a pinball machine Then the drummer took a lighter and set fire to his sticks as the barmaid squealed with laughter and said, "That's one of my favorite tricks." As the whisky took the driver's seat he touched his wedding ring He kept thinking of Chuck Berry, Howlin' Wolf and B.B. King Then the band it took a break and it was possible to talk As the barmaid poured a free one she said, "Don't they really rock?" At first he had no words so he drank his whisky down Then he slid off his barstool and stood on shaky ground. He said, "That ain't rock'n'roll. That's just Vaudeville plugging in." And she looked up and said, "Ain't that the way it's always been?" The beer will turn to whisky The barmaid runs a tab The years spin by in a free fall Till you're traveling by cab 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all went well except for one young, svelte, alluring, smokey-eyed 17 year old vixen... where was I again? Oh! Yes, as she walked into the studio, said of the jazz I had on the stereo, "Well, someone likes Easy Listening music." I made sure that all the shots I did of her were when she was not looking at the camera, blinking or with her mouth open. They never learn that pissing off the photographer is just like pissing off a waiter. Power is such a heady thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurkur Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 Well, it's Saturday morning and it's snowing...again. Not sure why but it makes me hate you all even more*— especially the Australians, not that one needs a reason to pile a little extra hate on your average Aussie. Now I think I'm going to go over the the Go-to-hale thread and kick someone inna fork. *ladies excepted, naturally 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send a set-up. Not too large, no snow, no night either. We shall see if you are still hanging around like the dags on a flyblown sheep after my troops have ground your poor pixels to a pulp.

MrSpkr Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 Ultra Gamey UPDATES!! Berli has chosen the Italian unterwunderkind in a Germanboy monstrousity called Into the Wadi of Death. Thus far, he has managed to crunch a minor scouting vehicle. Since that time, however, he has cowered in his foxholes awaiting the approach of my mighty LRRF. He owes me a turn. dalem is helping to playtest a new scenario based on the German attacks against the Hussars in 1942's Gazala battles. I hates his Grants, they kill me more than I want them to. Fortunately, since I designed the scenario, I decided to take the side with reinforcements. He owes me a turn. Seanachai asked for a setup (with a very limpwristed taunt, not that there's anything wrong with that), so, being the masochist that I am, I sent him a short operation (The Omars). He is the Allied attacker. With his rate of returning files, I suspect we'll be finished around 2026 (just in time for my retirement party). He owes me a turn (there's a surprise). Leeo and I are still engaged in a deathmatch in Russia. If blood makes the grass grow, this place will be fertile for decades. In any event, both of us are flailing ineptly at one another, making lots of dead bodies and splodey things to acheive a tie game with three turns left. In other words, it's the epitomy of a Cesspuddlian matchup. He owes me a turn. Yeknod is helping playtest another scenario, this one set in Sicily. He owes me a turn. Boo is playing with his usual forgettable style. He owes me a turn. He smells like an oyster that's been sitting all weekend in the hot sun, too, but we won't talk about that. Oh yeah, his "I have this huge ice puddle at the base of my driveway, just down the hill from the outhouse" inspired the latest Ker Dessel* release, a high-res snow grid.
