Not only are the titles the real cause of the problem (whether art or music, how are you supposed to come up with anything meaningful for Old People Shopping in the Afternoon? Don't Forget to Come to My House on Wednesday? Rhymes With Lucia?), but Ikari is a veteran artist.

I agree that some of the titles are difficult to work with. But it's a challenge I appreciate. It seems that jb and spud pick a decent variety of titles between easy to work with and hard to work with, and I'd wager that, especially with titles such as DFtCtMHoW, the difficulty is often intentional. Of course, I've misjudged their thinking processes before, so i could very well be wrong. But I'll bet you five SF! points, which are redeemable at the gift shop for a variety of musical stuffed animals. ^_-

I didn't mean to come off impertinent. Also, Ikari's "a new player" status made me assume that Ikari was new to SF.

As for "Rhymes with Lucia," I'm already working on something. *giggles madly*

Not wishing to be contentious or fuel anyone's temper tantrum.

Personally speaking I liked spOOn's Switchhitter art this week because it made me all nostalgic for those ubiquitous great UK rocker switches that they don't have here in the land of the free.

Those switches you can hit quite nicely and they go off-on. I know as I have often hit them to punctuate an argument and they emphasize a point very nicely. Once I even managed to crack the faceplate of one in a temper driven Switch Hitting encounter.

Over here, you hit a switch and at the very least you get a sore hand because the little knobby switch protrudes so far or the touch sensitive fader does nothing at all.

So yea! for nostalgia...more nostalgia please Nigel. I want to see some art with fish and chips in paper please, or.... a bottle of irn-bru, or... (oooh this is local colour!!!!)....the Point or.... the Escape building or... the concrete cows or... Bletchley Park or....
...disolves in giggles at the inside jokes known only to those acquainted with Milton Keynes.

Blimey! slightly freaked out for a moment, so I take it you've been here!?!
yep I'm a local lad, was here before MK (they built the flamin' thing around me to stop me getting out I guess), but I have often thought of using local landscapes but didn't think anyone would get it, maybe save Pedro or J$... cOOl!

We lived there 1997-2003. In Springfield, right down next to the Canal.

See how quickly this thread went from "GRSASFIREHNKDAGIVLHKDSNIGLBKXVN" to "Oh really? How pleasant to learn this factoid of information."

We are the peace keepers, bitch.

There were certainly some non-alphanumerics in there, imho.

finally, something I am good at... face pwning.

Thanks for the props, wormsweater.

What with so many of fluffy's Terror In Tiny Town covers in the archive, though?

fluffy · Post by **fluffy** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 8:59 pm

I went through several revisions because of a combination of my relentless anal-retentive perfectionist tendencies and the fact that I did the whole thing in about half an hour, and each new submission gets a new entry.

awesome. That fits neatly into my worldview.

yeah totaly

i think denyer shld run songfight. he knows waht is good.

Seoup Gei · Post by **Seoup Gei** » Tue Sep 19, 2006 9:58 am

The cover art for the "Ignorance is Bliss" Songfight really sucks. I mean, a picture of president Bush?

It's really too bad, because wormsweater actually had a funny cover art submission, and while Denyer's was bad bad photoshop work, it was also somewhat funny.

A picture of president Bush? How lame.
