The top offenders identified include franznietzsche, Moonbear, and tribdog, with a playful tone suggesting a competition for the title of "thread killer." Participants debate the validity of counting last posts as a measure of thread-killing ability, arguing that it should be adjusted based on the total number of posts each user has made. The conversation shifts into a light-hearted narrative, likening thread-killing to a horror movie scenario, with participants playfully accusing each other of sabotaging discussions and attempting to "steal" the thread. The banter includes references to fictional scenarios involving dramatic rescues and humorous characterizations, maintaining a light and comedic atmosphere throughout.

How good? As good as Evo's drawings?
Why don't you come up and see the sisterhood sketchings some time? Good? Does it matter? :-p

No one's had the pleasure of seeing Evo's drawings. We've only heard them described. Same as yours. So. Are yours as good?

I've often heard that if you take a left hand turn at every intersection you will eventually find your way out of any maze. I tried this while driving in Boston and it doesn't work. I did find out that there are four Washington streets there and some streets disappear completely on a daily basis. The tunnels leak and one way signs point the wrong way. I'm never driving in New England metropolitan areas again. I'll take a nice grid pattern any day.

Is it true that bats always take a left hand turn when exiting a cave? How does Batman get out of his batcave?

Huckleberry, on a grid that strategy would cause you to endlessly circle a single block.

:smile: Yeah, I don't think left hand turns work on a radial maze. Crazy Boston drivers; you wouldn't want to be on the road there anyway!

I'll describe Evo's to you: they're photographically realistic. People pay her to do their portraits.

Here's what I like. I like stuff that looks as if it was drawn according to some plan, but actually wasn't. If someone made absolutely incomprehensible engineering diagrams, with no meaning to them, but with a lot of direction and apparent meaning, so it strongly suggests that they do mean something without actually getting there, then I would like that person's art. My own art is something like that.

Oh, I know my drawings are terrible. That's why I need to keep practicing. Who's up next as our model? My turtle sketches really need improvement. Maybe I should switch to sculpture?

That sounds like the way I write.

My drawings are not photorealistic. They are abstract shapes and patterns.

Sounds to me, from this description, that some are good, but some are only so-so.
 
  • #5,765
However, I'm not ruling out the possiblity that somewhere out in the vast universe there is something that my drawings are photorealistic of. Interesting to think about.

Yeah, if you like thinking about unmitigated baloney.

No, that's interesting. Admit it.

Are these creations online somewhere?

Of course it's interesting, if you're interested in baloney.

I never liked balogna as a child. Now I enjoy it. I think I must have destroyed my sense of taste somewhere along the line.

I think zooby is only bitter that he has never reached my accomplished status as an artist.

Nope, that's in the sisterhood's private collection. :approve: I was actually just looking to see if I kept my pathetic attempt at illustrating tribdog's children's book around anywhere (I was really bored one night), but it's either buried under a mound of papers somewhere, or I finally put them away properly in the circular file. They would have been good for a laugh. I can draw inanimate objects pretty well, but all my animals and people are definitely abstract! :smile: (But ask me to sketch an illustration of hypothalamic nuclei in a brain slice, and I'll include such incredible detail, you'd swear I traced it ...*cough* DocToxyn, don't say a word[/size] *cough*)

It's "bologna" or "baloney" not "balogna".

I can only eat beef baloney. The turkey/chicken stuff is not processed far enough away from the skin they make it out of for my taste. The beef baloney succeeds in the deception.

Oh, you'd love my drawings! That's what they all look like...as if they should be something, but you're not quite sure what. :rolleyes:

Moonbear, If you want to sculpt turtles I could pose one for you.

I didn't like it as a kid, and still don't! Okay, who else has to sing the Oscar Mayer jingle to spell bologna? :redface:

Different subject bring out different levels of concentration. Next time you draw an animal, pretend it's a slice o' brain.

Will it stand still if I touch it all over to get the feel for it? You know, sculpture is all about feel.

I can spell it any way I like. Hmm, sounds familiar. It is spelled well enough to be recognizable.

If I draw it from a photo, I can sometimes get something halfway realistic looking. I seem to be backward of most people. A lot of people have trouble taking a 2-D image and visualizing it as 3-D. I'm great at that. But when it's the other way around, taking a 3-D object and trying to draw it in 2-D, well, maybe you could call it cubism. :-p

Turtles under observation will do exactly as they damn well please. I can't make any guarantees. I can always hold it in place for you.

Bitter? Not really. From the description your doodles sound very interesting. It's your demented ruminations I'm leary about.

Is it a spitting turtle? If so, we're going to have to put a muzzle on it. Once that's taken care of, I have an appropriate turtle restraint device if we need it.

The proof is in the taste. I wouldn't eat "balogna".

No! It will cling to my zoobie hair and I'll wake up with an ant colony all over me in the morning!

I've never been facinated by very proper people.

Spitting turtles? Do they do that? I've never seen a spitting turtle but we can muzzle it just in case. The restraining device won't hurt it, will it?

My bologna has a first name, it's O-S-C-A-R, my bologna has a second name, it's M-E-Y-E-R, Oh! I like to eat it every-day!AND IF YOU ASK ME WHAT I'LL SAY! Oscar Meyer has a way with B-O-L-O-G-N-A!

I had to do that

I can't think of any. If I have then it's not because they are proper.

Bologna. There we go. Now I'm proper again. 6795

It's always important to get fiber in one's diet, even for zoobies. :approve:
