King Arthur, my first thought upon seeing your (amusing) cover art was, "95 isn't a B number in bingo!"

According to wykypedio (why do the boards censor this word?), bingo numbers are: 1 to 15 in the B column; 16 to 30 in the I column; 31 to 45 in the N column; 46 to 60 in the G column; and 61 to 75 in the O column.

Is B 95 a reference I'm simply not catching? If not, I (gently) suggest altering that part of the cover art. :)

Or, it could be a satire on the whole thing...King Arthur being the old guy and all...it was great, King, love how the people are faceless but each of a different hue.

Jagoda serious skills, man. Scary, serious. Nice.

I just gotta say I really love this week's cover art for "We Were Not Meant to Be." Awesome colors, textures and lines, etc etc :)

I'm really loving this JR guy. He is REALLY GOOD at making cover art.

... sorry - I just have to say that I love my pictures.

Well, I'm happy to see somebody with talent showing up with a cover this week! I've just been doing them when the deadline arrives and nobody has done anything yet and I don't want the FMs to have to delay posting the new title (and songs and results) for lack of cover art.

On the Convalescence cover, B-95 just means "be old." Nobody commented on it, but that's the Santa Cruz SFL poster on the wall there, too. Maybe it was obvious... that artwork was actually done in MS Publisher, all those shapes and fills and such.

On the "Paris" cover, that is a van Gogh'd 900 foot tall Paris Hilton next to the Eifel Tower.

Ottoman: Please pick JR, please pick JR, please pick JR....

(nothing against William, but I just don't think the fight should have anything to do with ancient Sparta or said filming of scenes that would take place in ancient Sparta and constitute a screen grab from a recent film)

pick JR...pick JR for Ottoman...

Sorry, it wasn't meant to be serious. I was just trying to make a joke because of all the bs in the ottoman thread. It's amazing of what seems funny whilst intoxicated. I like JR's too. :wink:

Not Sparta. But Ancient Turkey would've been boss.

No. Like if someone took a pic of the Ottoman Army like this:

But photoshopped saxophones into the hands of the guys with the pipes and Gibson Flying V's around the necks of the marching guys. That would be sweet.

Yes! That would be absolutely killer. Especially with use of flying V's. If I still had photoshop at work, I'd get started on it right now...hmm maybe I should go home "sick". Hint: the corporate ladder is just not what it's cracked up to be. Once you get to the top you may discover it was more comfortable somewhere in the middle...

Ancient Turkey?! hahaha that is awesome, Bill.

You guys are so right, there is no ottoman in JR's. Damn.

Completely acceptable, in my opinion. I saw that BS. I agree.

That's pretty damn nifty Spud. That would have made my album cover much easier to do, because I had to manually fade the light to dark and shape the words, etc.
Are you the program designer of Cubiceye? I see your custom home project on the bottom example.

I was (am?) the Director of Software Development. Mad Dog, Stubs, and myself all worked there. That is where we started Octothorpe.

That's great that you guys work and play together.
I know you are an Architect, but also a director of software development?
What does a director of software development do exactly, sit in a folding chair wearing a raspberry beret yelling, "MORE CODE"? :wink:
