The top offenders identified include franznietzsche, Moonbear, and tribdog, with a playful tone suggesting a competition for the title of "thread killer."

Because you quoted my giant smiley and it didn't come out all question marks.
It does show them if I highlight and until I add my lines and send it.

But seriously, that's some good computer art, especially with the forum limitations.
 
  • #3,813
Yeah, there's no limit to what you can make here, except it has to be within the maximum message length, it has to have pretty low resolution, and using a lot of colors is tedious.

Really, though, the art here (except for the eye I posted a way back) was the art of the original smiley makers. I just transcribe them.

Although you DO have a choice of 16 million colors...

Thanks for the compliment.

though I think the referee got a double dose from both of the voluptuous contestants...I wonder if he made it out alive. :bugeye:
After they pried his mouth off of... :rolleyes: well...they resuscitated him and they put him on oxygen. Three days later he stopped smiling. :biggrin: They think he'll make a full recovery with time and proper physical therapy. :smile:

Mmmmm...okay, though not sure what good they'll do over the phone.

Evo: Hello
Moonbear: Here's your humming turtle-gram!
Turtles:
<<HMMMMMMMMMMMM>>
<<HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM>>
<<HMMMMMMMMMMMM[/size]>>
<<HMMMMMMMM[/size]>>

:-p
Aww, thanks Moonbear! :approve:

Can they do Gregorian Chant? And can you dress them in little monk outfits? It would really make me feel better. :shy:

Though I like much of your work, such as Bill the Cat, I'm sure you know what my favorite is. :biggrin: Still, cronxeh has done some pretty good smilie work too.

Humming turtles reminds me of that movie... forget what it was called... watched it a long time ago... anyway there were these turtle-like creatures who entered an evil fortress by magic humming. Something to do with elves, and ethereal beings, and giant black-armored scorpion things, and evil vulture people--I remember the name Aughra. I don't think it's as dumb as it sounds now.
 
  • #3,819
Was it The Dark Crystal?
With the evil skeksi vultures?
 
  • #3,820
Cronxeh was the one who was doing those pictures made out of smilies? Yeah, those were good.
 
  • #3,821
Yeah the Dark Crystal, that was it.

I've consulted the turtles, and one of them will agree to wear a robe, but the rest are really dead set against the idea. They said they only have Energizer bunny costumes.

That sounds pretty uncomfortable; those thorns are a bugger.

And with those batteries in backwards, they just keep coming, and coming, and... :eek:

Safe turtles, yes, and that's what you call it--monk outfits?

I think I know these turtles. :smile: Oh wait. The one I was thinking of couldn't harmonize--not even a Gregorian chant!

Will the energizer turtles chant? Did you tell them that I've got lots of flies. :approve:

Well, I really wanted a rabbit, but since turtles are what were sent to me, they're indulging me with some costumes. :approve:

That's okay, but if they start putting on a puppet show, back toward the exit.

I moved the following to here because the thread that it was on got locked away and I don't want to waste it.

You're more than welcome here, for sure, but you might want to think twice about introducing her to me. I've seen her picture, remember. In fact, I cropped you out of it and am using it as my desktop. :-p

I'll just be carefully watching where they put their little flippers.

Oh, yeah, never waste your good material on someone making a big production about leaving the site. It always reminds me of the 7 year-old threatening to run away from home.

Kid: I'm leaving now. Really, I am. I'm heading out the door. Right now. I have my hand on the doorknob. I'm going to run away and never come back. You'll be sorry when I'm gone.

Mom: Okay, here's your teddy bear, bye.

Kid: I'm really going to go now. Me and my teddy bear, we're running away.

Mom: Okay, would you like me to pack you a sandwich?

Kid: :cry:

I don't know if you've heard of these guys before, but I think you'd probably be front-row-centre if they ever came to your town.

The difference is that the kid would be missed if he really did leave. :-p

Speaking of kids, where's little franzbear? Moonbear, did you forget to let him out of the -20°C cold room in your laboratory again? Better get some blankets and hot water bottles...

Franzbear must be freezing! Let me get him into something nice and toasty.






Where did I leave that vat of liquid Nitrogen? :confused:

Too late. I've already rescued him and put him in the microwave to warm up.

Oh m'gosh, did we have the same mother!? Once my mother helped my brother and I pack our little red wagon. She reminded us about everything we would need--food, blankets, etc. So off we went with our wagon and a jar of peanut butter, and a blanket, and what have you. We got to the end of our block and realized we weren't familiar with anything past that point, not to mention struggling to get our heavy wagon over curbs and such. I don't think we were gone very long. It was kind of fun though, and as you know, we are still into survival games.
