# A distraction you say?
*scratches chin and looks thoroughly pensive*

*rapidly becomes aware of the overuse of asterisks to suggest action and or thought*

Such as a small scale Viking Invasion? Just little you understand, localised rampaging and killing with pillaging kept to an absolute minimum.

# hmmm
You know, i think you are onto something. It just might work....And it might just be an exciting adventure for a future Fluffy Twuntsocks episode. Fluffy Twuntsocks wins Olympic Gold.

# Shit.
I'm not sure I have the skill, patience, skill and enthusiasm for a whole olympian adventure. I'll definately write it down. I keep a post-it pad next to my computer to write down all my demented thoughts and to sketch new things to draw.

# You going
for comic style or animation style adventures?
(I helped save b3ta! Lanc Weekend Trailer Park Supervisor, Fri 2 Apr 2004, 3:37, archived)
# I havent decided.
What do you think. A vertical 3/4 frame comic? I had a go at animation once and I'm really not very happy with it. (See my profile) It was more about the pun that the skill used in bringing it to fruitition.

# As i dont
have a clue about animation, id say go with the comic style. When your happy with it you can do an 8 frame epic of him winning gold :)

# Its on the list.
My next project which I have been meaning to get onto is a simple Beatles pun that doesn't in any way involve Abbey Road. I need to get it out of my head so I'll do that next. Should be a 5 minute job.

# Shall look forward to it.
Gonna buy me a Graphics tablet at weekend so will see what i can come up with then. Will feel more comfortable using one for image stuff as i am a lefty who uses a mouse right handed. cant use a mouse with my left hand to save my life (evil right handed mind washing and desk placement).

# Ive never been near a graphics tablet.
I find the concept a little strange. Im so used to using the mouse now and I'm developing quite a steady hand with it too.

# Its a combination of vectors and bitmap.
Thats the secret, I learnt it all from the tutorials that Jim Turner made on www.strawberrydragon.com.

Im well into this vector thing now although I have stayed away from the 'bandwagon' by not posting pics of me and the Quo and putting it to use for hummus based activities. See profile for Nessie. (Which makes a really cool wallpaper if you set the background around it to white.

# Yeah i like the Vector effect
(see profile for my 1st Vector pic).
And have also pilfered the nessie pic for my wallpaper collection.

# Woo, thats better than most of my early attempts. Go southpaw.
I find it quite hard doing large images or ones with quite a few blocks of colour as I can never get the order right and end up with the highlights getting lost at the back and me getting frustrated.

# Ive
seen it where the messages become one word per line and a complete bitch to read. Then I think the board starts getting wider.

# Race you.
I added to the whole "what should we call the sort-of glasscock" discussion but most people have given up on that discussion. I want closure damn it!

# Ooo i will go loo and see.

# Yep. Seems

# Getting closer.
Will anyone be brave to join us and sail over the edge into the unknown? Ironically it echoes the fears of the vikings who believed that you could sail over the horizon and off the edge of the world.

# If I dont come back...
Could somebody:
1. Go on my date on Sunday with the sexy barmaid from Wetherspoons
2. Water my cactus, its ony the window sill
3. Live out the rest of my life and attempt to fulfill all my ambitions, they are in a text document somewhere in My Documents.
