If a painting could say just one thing, what would it be? The Da Vinci Code aside, what would Mona Lisa say if she could talk? "Dude, where's my eyebrows?" I'm sure Whistler's Mother has a few things to say to her son about being portrayed so unflatteringly. And what's that guy screaming anyway? The Contest: find a well-known painting, and create a humourous caption for it (Yes, CoC still applies. Still, I'd advise the mods to watch this thread like hawks.). I'll start: EDIT: Great. Now I see the fate of the last posting game. --------------------  "Pull my finger."

Kingy, please take those down or mirror them. SA images incur horrible penalties on remote-linkers.  --- A voice reduced to a gravelly rasp by a lifetime of cigarettes. "Black, please. Yes, both of them." The solitary, time-worn attendant gave a single, brisk nod and went about his work. A time passed. The street outside was empty, and the only sound in the lonesome diner - besides the near-silence of the attendant at his business - was the ticking of a distant clock. Tick, tock. "Elijah - that attendant looks familiar - one of those comedians, I think." The aging woman didn't turn to her companion, but simply gave a brief nod of the head to the man in question. He went about his business deaf to the conversation. "I know it, Natalie. He used to be Larry the Cable Guy. I wonder why he still isn't." "And I used to be Dave Chappelle," came a reply from the other side of the diner - a hollow and familiar voice from a worn frame slouched over the bar table. His face sagged with the sorrows of time. "People just don't have much to laugh about any more." "Not since the war." "No." The tired eyes of all assembled drifted back out into space, staring at the cold and empty midnight street. "Git'r done," the attendant said quietly, serving Wood and Portman their coffee. There was no answer. Tick, tock.

I hope that such thing is about SomethingAwful only. Otherwise, bring down mine, too. :( -------------------- 9 masks sing in a choir: Gnome Dwarf Slith Giant Troll Troglo Human Nephil Vahnatai "If the mask under mask to SE of mask to the left of mask and to the right of me is the mask below the mask to the right of mask to the right of mask below me is the same, then who am I?" radix: +2 nicothodes: +1 salmon:+1 Posts: 203 | Registered: Tuesday, March 14 2006 08:00 |

Don't worry; SA's definition of Ethical Conduct is pretty unique. I do wonder about the manual redirect though. Does this mean they have time to sift through the server logs to find out whether an image is being requested through another web site? It's not exactly hard to make the redirect automatic, like Geocities does. Then again, it's not very hard to circumvent that either. Also, I don't know any pictures that are significantly worse than Goatse. Except harlequin fetus, perhaps, my memory of which is repressed. Since Kingy is either offline or doesn't see your message, I'm relocating the pictures. Call it pre-emptive CoC enforcement, or something. :P [ Tuesday, May 30, 2006 04:18: Message edited by: Henry Anthony Wilcox ] -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

I find the concept of Pre-Emptive CoC enforcement very troubling... On with the topic, Rothko's Number 15 says "15". [ Tuesday, May 30, 2006 04:41: Message edited by: Lt. Sullust ] -------------------- Lt. Sullust Cogito Ergo Sum Polaris Posts: 2462 | Registered: Wednesday, October 3 2001 07:00 |
