I just got the Paint Shop Pro demo

And I'm having way too much fun.

I have no idea what it is. Someone should make up a back story.

(thellama73, Wed 7 Nov 2001, 7:15, archived)

oops

that came out a little large.

(thellama73, Wed 7 Nov 2001, 7:15, archived)

you made me laugh out loud.

i love it when I'm posting to something else - and then the board is suddenly weird and different.

yes, I agree,

b3ta is my only hope of being cheered up lately. Booked Fri, Mon & Tue off work to celebrate my birthday and just found out have almost no money and not getting paid any time this week. No birthday shopping for me :(
Need to spend all day on b3ta to keep sane and smiling!!

(Nacho, Wed 7 Nov 2001, 7:19, archived)

I just got paid.

Name a birthday present and it will be yours. Birthdays should always be good days.

(Esteban, Wed 7 Nov 2001, 7:23, archived)

actually

we should all *make* presents for you, photograph them and post the results here. You can then choose which one you want and we could mail it to you.

(Esteban, Wed 7 Nov 2001, 7:24, archived)

Hear hear

I know nothing of photoshop - or how to make those funny pictures, so I hope I'm not an imposter. But I laugh my arse off every time I come to this site. It's reassuring to know that useless bollocks still has it's purpose in the world. b3ta I salute you (what does it stand for, by the way?).

(milk_explosion, Wed 7 Nov 2001, 7:27, archived)

i think

it is beta with a "3" instead of a "e"

Clever stuff.

(Esteban, Wed 7 Nov 2001, 7:29, archived)

we liked unfinished stuff ...

... made before the polish comes. i.e. stuff in beta.... er and we wanted a short URL... er.. and beta.com is for sale for about $5,000,000

Taurine

bugga.......just found out why RedBull has a picture of a bull...Taurine is an amino acid first found in the testicles of bulls...it is actually a relaxant, not a stimulant which is ok, i guess.....but bulls semen? I don't understand tho why RedBull is banned in france, when they eat horses anyway.

oooolalala

ViDi

(ViDi, Wed 7 Nov 2001, 7:10, archived)

I herd <gag!

it was extracted from Bovine intestine - not testicles. I may be wrong though.

(Esteban, Wed 7 Nov 2001, 7:11, archived)

so pleased

I've always had my vodka with lemonade or orange juice!!

(Nacho, Wed 7 Nov 2001, 7:16, archived)

lemonade and orange juice

are both actually made from pelican gullet. Little known fact.

(Esteban, Wed 7 Nov 2001, 7:18, archived)

Phew, that's okay

I'm on a highly selective vegetarian-ish diet but pelican gullet is the best source of Vitamin Namboosa, so my doctor says I'm allowed it thrice weekly. And yes my doctor is half Zulu

(Nacho, Wed 7 Nov 2001, 7:23, archived)

my ex-landlord

was african. His name was Doctor Abi. We found his tribal outfit in the loft and dressed up in it when drunk.

I stole it when we left. I think it might be cursed - am I bad?

Who wants to see a pic?

(Esteban, Wed 7 Nov 2001, 7:33, archived)

yayoose! I do!!

actually if you have predictor text on your mobile phone and just press buttons randomly, non stop, you can actually write messages in Zulu. But sometimes they come out Russian-ish.
I've got the URL of an english to zulu translator site if anyone wants it...
lexica.epiuse.co.za/CyberTrans.html

(Nacho, Wed 7 Nov 2001, 7:46, archived)

post the pic! post the pic!

Is it as good as the doctor?

back from lunch

tribal me

Underneath the tribal gear you can just make out my LA Lakers Basket Ball shirt. I ordered 3 of them when drunk with personalised names on the back. I cost me £160. I should not be allowed near the internet when drunk with credit card.

(Esteban, Wed 7 Nov 2001, 9:05, archived)

wow!

and you still have that outfit? Can we all borrow it? Maybe a b3ta fancy dress party?

(

AndyK, Wed 7 Nov 2001, 9:23, archived)

I do, I dooo oo hooo hooo (orange soda (Kenan and Kel (gag)))

yes the outfit came with me when I moved. I just had to have it. It is huge and does not fit anyone.

You may borrow it, but you must respect it also.

(Esteban, Wed 7 Nov 2001, 9:28, archived)

this is what Red Bull has to say...

"Is Red Bull made from bulls' testicles?

No!
Taurine is an amino acid that is found in the human body. It is produced synthetically for Red Bull. Taurine was detected for the first time about 40 years ago in cattle and its name derives from Taurus, bull."

I work round the corner from Red Bull. They have very swanky offices.

MP3 webspace

Apart from MP3.com does anyone here know of any free webspace where I can post MP3's - want to send the link to Brookside Rok as promised to you guys but most web space wont allow the deposit of MPEG or other media files.

then make a stupid song ...

... put the link to the MP3 on the board... and try and get someone to animate it.

We love music people too.

good lip quivering action

make us some lip quiveringly nice music.
Go on.

(

pep, Wed 7 Nov 2001, 6:24, archived)

Yup

We don't have enough of an audio thing going on just at the mo- I like doing stupid audio gags loads. Whack something up and we'll see about animating it (that is, after all, how the genesis of the davros / hawking masterpiece came about).

We should really be

collaborating across different media according to individual strengths- that's how all the good stuff gets done. I can't draw, for example, so Mr Tea's doing some fantastic flash stuff for my giant bee song at the mo. Audio's great. Let's have some audio stuff to play with.

you like it? it's one of my fave things but I didn't think many people had heard it yet- i was going to wait for the flash animation before I whacked it out properly.
