Two boys learn that the telephone is a serious matter and should not be used as a toy when a group of vigilantes called the Phone Police bust anyone who does not follow the rules of the phone. And the Phone Police can do more than just put you in jail. They can erase your entire existance.

Can anyone tell me what that is from, without googling? (DG's post reminded me of it.)

Was that from Are You Afraid of the Dark? I think I remember being scared by that episode, because I made a lot of prank phone calls as a kid.

Phantom of the Paradise is considered a rock opera and as far as I know didn't start out as a concept album. Maybe I should research it more, but I don't really have the heart anymore since my Bill and Ted takeover flopped.

Also, does Rock and Roll High School count?

Oh no! No band is safe!

Akumayo, seriously dude. Calm it down, you are not giving a good name to System of a Down fans with your spazzing. Not that I am one of them. Oh wait, does that immediately make me a republican? I forgot that not liking a band decides my political standings.

Okay, now that this forum is back, the winner is Vince Twelve! Why someone would want to pirate nude pictures of Hitler, I'll never understand.

I was torn between this one and Squinky's Hitler Crotch Attack. I love that look on Kevin Kline's face! It is as if he's enjoying it and that is fun.

I totally got an 83%. This is funny because I've been working on a self portrait for watercolor class of myself in front of a swarm of zombies, and because of this, I have been majorly zombie obsessed for the past two weeks. Because of this, I have a good plan of what I would do if zombies attacked. Also giant space ants.

Okay, now all I need is a picture of a US penny alongside a Euro Cent...

I wish I did have a Euro Cent to use, since most of the people who ordered one aren't from the US. I've measured it, though. From ear to ear it's 3.9cm, and from the top of the bail to the chin is 3.4cm. So it's not a large piece, but it's nice for a necklace. In inches, it's around 1.5 X 1.5 inches square. Obviously not exactly, but it's close to that.

Update! The first six have been cast in bronze. Once I do the finishing, I'll email and pm the people who preordered with ordering information. For those of you who ordered them with chains, I've decided to go with a leather strap instead. They look nicer and are easier to attach. Because of this, I've lowered the price from $20 to $17. If you still want a chain, you'll have to contact me and we can discuss it.

Here's a picture of what they look like right now:

The colors are a little off because my scanner is going insane. The one on the left is in the first stage of finishing and the one on the right isn't touched at all. He's still got investment on him, even.

Edit: Here's a better picture of the one on the left that's on it's way to being polished:

I agree with you, Kinoko.

Many people like one game really much and just nominate it in all categories without consideration.
I mean a game can be ugly as hell and still be a great game, but then it shouldn't win the best graphics award!

You wouldn't believe how many people would do this. It's absurd to look at the list of nominees and see someone that's voted Apprentice 2 in every category...including the p3n1s award. It's like they don't even bother looking at the categories, they just copy and paste into every field. If we don't get a committee or something similar set up before next year, anyone who does that will get their nominations disqualified. I would've done that this year, but I felt it was unfair to do so without warning everyone that it would happen. Not that the people who've done it care about being fair...

I didn't stop answering your emails, Cap'n, I thought you stopped answering mine! Apparently something went wrong because I never did get a reply to my last message to you, I just figured you got too busy or something. I have a feeling it was my email provider, because this isn't the first time someone sent me something or I sent someone something that was never recieved. I'm sorry you thought I stopped contacting you, I didn't really!

I should probably get a new email provider...

Woodrow Wilson: Haha, I have you now, Giant Disembodied Head of Theodore Roosevelt! Or should I say, I have your adorable mascot, Teddy? Mwhahaha!
Giant Disembodied Head of Theodore Rooseveltt: Curse you, Wilson! At least I have one more trick up my non-sleeve!



Teddy: Grarrr!*
Giant Disembodied Head of Theodore Roosevelt: You're welcome, Teddy! Ha ha ha!


*Translation: Hooray, my horrible human captor is destroyed! Thank you, Giant Disembodied Head of Theodore Roosevelt!

You all want to vote for me, even if you don't know it yet:



You don't even have to vote for me as sexiest agser. Just send a pm saying 'Pesty for everything! Nominees be damned!'

I'm merely saying that everyone in these "Top 5's" are pretty amazing. To single one person out is parading for parading's sake.

It's just a bit of harmless fun, there's no need to take it seriously.

Certainly, but I know I'm gonna see someone parading around being like,

"Well, as a winner of a 2004 Forego award....."

Heh.


Bt

If someone said that, I would bet that it would be as a joke.  Winnng a forego award doesn't mean you win instant credibility, it's just to prove that I'm the sexiest forum user and that if I don't win, it's to fool the masses.

[Pirates vs. the Third Reich]

What is the Photoshop Contest?

Duh! Isn't it obvious.

Okay, see this link if you don't know:
http://www.somethingawful.com/photoshop/

And for other examples, see here:
http://www.worth1000.com/

The two above websites should give a fair idea of what is involved. Also you can check out the earlier Photoshop contests in this forum.

Note: Photoshopping isn't drawing a completely new image -- It's editing images to create a new image, such as editing one image or combining several images.

Also, you don't have to specifically use Photoshop -- Paint Shop Pro, Gimp or any other equally good programs can be used.

So what the hell is the topic this week? Well kids, it is a good one, suggested by our resident ghormak, Ghormak: Pirates vs. the Third Reich!

Don't know what that means? Well, take a look at my example:



Just photoshop any image of a pirate looking to battle or harm anything having to do with the Third Reich. So get to work! Zod commands it!

Well here's the deal. I have the winners all ready to announce, but I've been very sick with bronchitis since the Sunday before last, and haven't been able to set up the awards ceremony. I would really like to just announce the winners, but people don't seem to like that idea and want a ceremony. I still can't do it, so if someone is willing to, let me know.

I'll sign up. I don't know how much of a game I'll get done, but it'll be good practice, if anything.

And Pesty.. I wasn't racing!

I didn't even think to ask if you were racing, or I would've said something when you texted me. I WAS going to make a joke about you going to fast, but I didn't because I'm not totally heartless!

Seriously, I did mean to ask if this was the car you had just recently bought but then I remembered you didn't have another car, so I assumed it was. That's a major bummer, but at least you're not hurt too badly. Sure your Talon is crunched, but you can always get another car. Maybe you'll find an affordable CRX and then you can cruise around blaring Billy Squier. That would be awesome!

Wow, already? You're just producing these like a madman of some sort! Nice decision going with the 3D. It looks good! I can't wait for it to be released. I like that you're using characters from the other games, it ties it all in well!

Edit: And another one, just for fun.

I think we're all missing something important here.

Get drunk as a baby?

Get drunk as a baby?! How many babies do you know that get drunk, Tiki?
