I almost won it, but was in the end disqualified for actually killing myself.

I would have to actually do stuff that would cause bodily harm to win the award and since blasting away at the keyboard isn't dangerous enough I will be unlikely to win the award

Giving the award to threads loses its appeal after 1000.  Then it's just sad.  Which is still funny.

I can now nominate myself (almost)
I just dragged my unfinished cab indoors (building took place outside the house, 15 meters away)
With no one to help me, and 10 meters of grain terrain between the cab and house, I decided rolling the cab on two boards, replacing them, fore and aft.

For one thing, the ---smurfette--- is heavy.
For the second, dark clouds above were just perfect for getting an award.

Luckily, It did not rain. I wonder if I would have posted here anything if it would have.

Not unless you left it out there.

The cabs can get wet, they can get hosed down and cleaned with water.  You just can't saturate them.

I wanted to hose it. I swear I did want to.


Settle down there tiger.....sounds like you've got a tommy in yer pants!

Man it's been so long since we had a Floyd. It's kinda neat to have a new one.

Ummm.....this guy's got a house and doesn't appear to be suffering from teenage angst.  I think you're comparing paper clips to horseshoe crabs. ;D

I think he's our new tommy, sans hand Kleenex

Isn't it just lovely how you multi-post-veterans just love to dissect a newbie...

I wonder who wiped your asses and drooling when you were 150 posts old. or do you get it done now also when you're 6500 posts old - down geriatric lane.

Why don't admit for once that

sometimes there's a man who, wal,
he's the man for his time'n place,
he fits right in there--and that's
me.

Can you stop playing god ?

When you start your own website, playing god is one of the priveledges that comes with the starter kit. 

Now everybody stop talking to c64 so he gets back to working on his cab.  I wanna see it get finished before he achieves a banning.  He's not grasping that the guy who pays for things makes the rules whether you like it or not.

I promised to behave.
Anyway I'm currently working on my frontend. news on that soon.
I know the rules man. I control more web servers than forum members canging that light bulb.

I still remember your post regarding the curve on my cab front. you put plenty of time and effort into it. and now this ?

Because it's not mine.  Someone's gotta be the go-getter to make me feel like a slug for not being farther along.

That, and you're gonna try to figure out a way to do that curve.  I can feel it ;D

anyway, my frontend

play = play games (goes to the play game screen, second picture)

look = slide show (digital photo album)

listen = mp3 jukebox

manage = roms\emulators manager

actual frontend size is 800x600
