Unless you have a tweenage daughter, you couldn't possibly know and what's more, you really don't want to know.
Besides, Selina Gomez is better.

So I had to build the set. Wouldn't you know I could NOT find my craft knife? So I used one of many X-acto knives but the blade doesn't go through the inch thick industrial styrofoam I'm using. However it's compressed so is made to break cleanly. Wish I could have nabbed somefresh sheets as the ones I got were discards and have worn edges and even tire marks. But I can hide that.
However, in gluing it I got white glue everywhere. Fortunately white glue is water soluable so washes out of everything. You know I have to stop rushing into things because I used the Elmer's as opposed to the thicker Aileene's so glue oozed everywhere and one structure had to be abandoned as Elmer'd don't have the viscosity to glue some stuff. You'd think I'd learn not to try to use scraps to make complicated structures just to use the scraps. :)
Now off to the dentist!

Ooooo, sports teams… I haven't designed stuff for a coproate sports team yet, but all the teams I have desined stuff for have been very painful. They lack ANY design inteligence at all. These are people that need someone in charge of them and simple rules in order to know how to function, in life as well as when they're playing because they haven't got the faculties to cope on their own.
It's the only conclusion I can come to after all my dealings :(
I look forward to finding out more! Add me when you can. I find I need exactly the same adjustment time with FB. It's especially anoying how each time they change something they also include some preverted adition that makes ALL you private stuff 100% public! ie. the timeline. So you have to go and "limit" it.
Jebus, what a joke of a site….
Still without it I would not have been able to stay in touch with all those fantastic DDer and other friends who I don't see as oten now, as well as organising lots of cool things.
My impression was that the players were actually rather normal human beings who just happened to be highly skilled at one thing and only one thing. They're not necessarily dumb, just the people around them purposely shield them and make it so they only ever have to focus on playing. I got the feeling that if I were to meet them in my local pub and not know who they were, I'd assume they were like any other guy. It was the corporate people who I found more annoying. I was the only person besides the art director on our team allowed within 50 feet of them and even then, we were both explicitly told not to look directly at the players as we "might make them self-conscious or nervous". I got the feeling that if we could ever get around the corporate people, these guys might actually be kind of fun to hang out with and have a few beers together.
I've occasionaly half-way run into a couple people from DD through DA or AIM on the rare occasions I log into that stuff in the last year or so, but I've been cut off from pretty much everything for a while. I know CustardTrout and Shplane have posted on the cracked.com forums a lot, and I've run into one or two people via AIM, but otherwise I have no clue what's bee going on around here.
And Lonnehart, I just had a thought about that mysteriously deflating tire of yours. If nothing is wrong with the tire itself, have your mechanic take a look at the rim itself. I used to trash rims on my first car at a rate of one or two a year until I got sport rims because I would fly through corners too fast and drive over curbs all the time and it would destroy the tire rims.
I did have my rims looked at by more than one mechanic and there's also nothing wrong with them. That makes my freak flats that much more mysterious. I've been told numerous times that it could be pranksters but I have serious doubts about that… I've already watched the tire deflate over a half hour after I had filled it to its proper pressure. Maybe my tires are cursed? Or something is haunting them?
And apparently the ads on this forum know I'm posting about my tires. There are several advertisements for new tires at the time I'm writing this…

So the wife used the upstairs bathroom and clogged it. The toilet then overflowed and I awoke to the sound of dripping water. I've seen this at work time after time and now it was happening in my own house. Water covered the floor and fortunately I was barefoot so I just waded in and started mopping. I tossed rags around to sop up the water. Yes the water was clean.
Somehow my wife had totally forgotten about flapper valves and turning off the water to the toilet. It leaked down into first floor bathroom and bedroom. We should have plumbers coming in the morning.

I am the master of quoting now. Ninja master quoter, yeaaaa-haaaaaaaar!
What I meant was those guys have the corporate machine there to make them look good and polished while they get on with their thing.
Which is a good thing for them, or they wouldn't look so polished at all. :)
You know how there are people who just naturally dress with taste and style, or who do an amazing job of making the interior design of their house or apartment look great… and then there are the people who need others to shop for them or do their interior design FOR them?
The end result is the same, it's just lucky that style can be hired ^_^
Soon we will be calling you "lieutenant lba!"
…In Australian we say "Leftenant" although it's spelt the same way.
And you guys say "Lootenant", which sounds closer to the spelling.

Happy "Sadie Hawkins" Day, a little bit of Americana that originated from a comic strip, merged with an earlier Irish tradition, and is celebrated with dancing.
So
Dance, I say! :)
Jubilaton T. Cornpone!
Huge irony that the flattest girl in my class was chosen to play Daisy Mae when we did the musical in Junior High.
I just now awsomized the DD facebook page with a new cover pic I made for it using heaps and heaps of feature images!!!!!!!

Most excellent, Sir Oz. Apparently those four years at collage really paid off. ;)

Adam's apple be damned! hahahaha - Ah - there is something so endearing about Genejoke's "non-judgmental" stance.
So, if you're going strictly by the L'il Abner calendar, Sadie Hawkins Day would be some time mid Nov., and I think that's when many of the high schools have the Sadie Hawkins dances.
But what with the Irish Leap Year tradition (where on 29 Feb women "can" propose), 29 Feb is Sadie Hawkins Day in many books.
With all this talk of dancing, we shouldn't let the moment pass without noting the sad demise of cheeky Brit Monkee and awesome dancemeister Davy Jones today. Join me and together let's do the Davy shuffle:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCOANBcCqR0&feature=related
How does he do that?
What is it with people passing away the last day of February?
Three years ago my father, this year Davey Jones and a great guy at the local hobby shop. Jeez.
Modely building is supposedly a solitary hobby but I have been honored to have met and learned much from some really great people over the years and I didn't relaize how much they had influenced my life until they were gone.
As for Sadie Hawkins, just put the bag over her head, the rest of her looks pretty good. I was so sorry to hear about her accident with the Ugly stick, but they can do wonders with facial reconstruction these days.
When people mistake me for a woman, that is the image I imagine them seeing.
But the idea that ugly turns guys off is apparently completely true. Many guys aren't too bright, all they see is the shape of the whole figure and then start whistling.
If Sadie were real, she'd actually do pretty well for herself.
That's sad about little Davie… Anyone else think that he's like a slightly rounder faced Tom Cruise there?
It's just lucky the other Davy Jones singing superstar is still around… Mr Ziggy Stardust of the Laughing Gnomes. :)
And now a rant.
Hello, I am here to rant about the on-going DD soap "What Happened… whatever" I personally am beginning to think that despite all the generous invitations no one but some insipid hack named after the letter "B" in the phonetic alphabet is writing the lion's share. I am not overly fond of this gentleman's writing and the story is getting quite stale. This personage must be stopped from completely taking over this story. It really was quite good before he monopolized it with all kinds of ideas coming from all over. At first he made quite an effort to tie all the directions together but now it's just self-serving foolishness.
Please I beg of all denizens of the DDiverse please, please contribute to the DD soap or we are all in danger of this inane hack taking over the thing and then the next we know those horrid dolls in his comic will be parading all over and making life difficult even impossible for those of us who have the self-respect to draw and ink a comic as opposed to using photography.
I thank all of you for your indulgence and remind all of you to please contribute to the DD soap as I can barely tolerate the single author turning what could be a magnificent epic of multi-hued cloth as into a single sheet of white broadcloth.
Now I have endeavoured to convince this personage to desist from anymore writing for as long as it takes to get at least three others to contribute. Any questions I am available via Personal Quack as I make en effort to check them daily. Again I thank you.

What happened while I was away has been a victim of its own success, just how much more madness can people write and how can anyone make any sense of it?
Next we'll find out Ayesinback was an action/adventure star in a string of 1980s exploitation movies and is being blackmailed to keep Rokulily from being told! Or a love triangle between two characters and a machine gun!
I know that the creative minds on Drunkduck can top me in writing inspired lunacy about their peers on the site in this strange DDiverse that's been created. Because I'm getting tired of doing it all by myself. Though don't think I won't just to piss people off.
Part of the soap issue I think is that people may think they have to get caught up so they can follow on with contninuity.
But you don't really… Just read the last entry and have a token nod to that continuity then do your own thing or go "MEANWHILE" and add in a some totally new thing. It's so easy!
I'm going to add a new bit, I have some rough ideas and I wanna play with them, but I have to get the damn lines for the soap script all done so I can send them out to people… late :(
I looked at it and was going to add, but then part of me just went "nah, I shouldn't be writing gibberish." I've been doing so well lately at being coherent that I'd rather just stay in my current groove for a bit. Plus, I've been unusually one-track-minded lately. I'd just settle in to read the whole thing, spend an enitre day and then never actually get around to putting in my two cents once I realized what I'd done. It's a bit of a curse I've been plagued with lately. I'm incredibly focused on whatever I'm doing and working like crazy on it but usually getting very little accomplished over the course of a day.
I can't wait til mass effect 3!!!! 8 days!
Also my friend may or may not sell his cintiq (and he'd sell it because he's not sure if the lcd is going, so why would I want to buy it if so?), but he is loaning me his A4 sized pen slate tablet pc, so I can see if I like it. He says I can buy one for like £400 but when I looked them up the cheapest is £800! (and that one a refurb) So probably this whole tablet thing is an utter pipe dream, but I'll enjoy drawing on it regardless. :]
Til ME3 comes out anyway.

(you just never mind about my former film career) Frankly, bravo, you've just been doing such a great job of it - and I for one am guilty of having taken your brilliance for granted - so, belatedly: thank you!
@skool,
I thought you had already grabbed up that cintiq, but I'm glad you didn't if it's a question of "replacing" (? – is that even possible?) the LCD. a friend, you say . . .
