BTW
Do any of you, my long haired friends, experience what I like to call hair-paranoia? You keep thinking that you see something moving in the corner of you eye, but then you realize it's just your hair?

Oh god, yes. It's really bad for me. My hair is half way to my waist, and I get freaked out when I wear tank tops, because it almost feels like a bug crawling up my arms.

"AAAAHHH! WHAT THE HECK JUST TOUCHED ME???? Oh... hair again."

I have a beard and long hair!

Why didn't you use someone with red hair to photoshop over Donna?

Or another AGSer... like Dragonrose, she has red hair... and green skin, but meh.

I found this much funnier than I probably should have

You are sort of wearing a shirt and pants?

My fact-  I'm too skinny to fit into any of the sixty bodices owned by my theatre company. Booyah!

It's Friday, Ladies and Gents!  And you know what that means...

ScottDoom wins! YAAAAAAAY!!!!

Wow. Now you can legally buy alcohol.

Or you could just move to Canada -- the age limit is 19 and up.

But if you were in Quebec, then you could have been buying alcohol since you were 18! (at least I think that's the way it goes. Ask Rodey)

Joyous Natal Anniversary!

Primus: But English isn't a Romantic language- it's Germanic with random bits of Romantic thrown in after the Norman invasion of England.

The reason I used verb examples is because Ryukage mentioned our basic forms of conjugation.

I know those of you who speak French, Spanish, and German will disagree with me, but English is really the simplest and most evolved language in use today, so far as I know.Ã, 

Argh! No! Not true!

The reason that English speakers see English as the easiest language is because they don't learn the rules.  They just talk.  Our grammar is half Germanic, half Romanitic.  We use contractions like it's going out of style.  We use coloquialisms like they're going out of style.  We speak in a language of metaphors and borrowed words. 

About the verb conjugations: We don't have four. We have at least nine that I can think of. 
I watch
I am watching
I watched
I was watching
I did watch
I have watched
I will watch
I am going to watch
I will have watched

Why can you say "I don't" and not "I runn't?"  And what the heck is up with "I won't?" Shouldn't it be "I willn't?"

"I have run" "I have done" "I have been" "I have walked"  We have a huge variety of irregular verbs in the present perfect tense.

Why is it pronounced "Shoor" when it's spelled "sure?"  Why is it pronounced "crysanthemum" when it's spelled with a ch?

More than one goose is "geese." So why aren't many moose "meese?" More than one house is "houses," but more than one mouse isn't "mouses," it's "mice."  And that C is pronounced S.

English is hard.  We have contradictions all over the place. 

And I'd comment on your "14 Points," but I've got to go to work soon.

Seeing as that's it for entries, it's voting time!  I'm leaving voiting open until Friday (the 25th)  because that seemed like as good a time as any.

Adendums to Dart's:

We also get our culture from beer ads! Yay!

"Do you know John from Canada? He works in an office!"
"Oh yeah! Office John! He's dead."

Felipe: We do have quite a lot of gross out humour here (Tom Green, anyone?).  But not everybody's into it.

The Ram, obviously.Ã,  His friends the Llamma and the Ding Dong are along for the ride.

You did an awesome job, BB. I had a horrible time deciding. 

Too many talented people on this board!

Darn you guys!  You made choosing really hard.  A lot of the entries made my jaw hit the floor.

However, there can only be one.  And that one is....

BERNHARD!

Congradulations. Your entry made me giggle and boggle silmutaniously. Yay!

The idea sounds interesting! I'd like to help out.  You can e-mail me at dragonrose_1 at yahoo dot com

It's the Kings Quest and I!



I didn't want to enter any competitions this week, but the idea was too good to pass up.

[Rules:]

PUZZLE TIME

Rules: Every week a post will be made with a list of items and a scenario. Using your wit, skill and lack of mental health; find a way to complete the scenario with the items provided. You can only use a set number of items of your own choice. When I say use your skill, use it.

I posted on a QFG message board and posted in a topic about making a fan game, saying I could do background art.  I got an e-mail from a guy who was making a QFG fangame, who needed an artist.  I downloaded AGS to find out what kind of art would be needed, and started goofing around.  I made a few backgrounds, but the guy never told me what kind of art would be needed, or even what the game was about.  So I kept the backgrounds and started making my own game.

Sorry about doing this rediculously late.  I'd forgotten I'd entered the Sprite Jam.

TOPIC: An alien!
SIZE: 100x100
COLOURS: 16

Go forth and make spritey images!

I got lazy towards the end. Oh well.



Next up: Three happy zombies, two red devils and a blue egg in a pear tree

I quite like the 3D look you're using.  My only thoughts are that ballustrade (oooo... big word) is a little too square, and that the ceiling doesn't quite seem to be attatched to the walls.  But as you said, it's a test picture.

Go for it!
