Psycho-friggin'-nauts! Hoo-ah!

I have an oval office scene in which Bush replaces Clinton, and the head of the German conservative party replaces Monica...

Which reminds me- Has anyone heard from Whispering Legs? It seems like he vanished...

mine is a pic of the sunset here i took last night - it was a good 'un. i'll post it up later :)

before it was a nice pic i took of this old stone bridge in a village near us on a beautiful sunny day a couple of weeks back... and i made it subtly psychedelic too :P

my last one was a photo I took in Jerome,Arizona of two clay vases on a nearby rooftop. When I look at it, that serenity & silence returns...

My work PC has Chris Griffin of Family Guy carrying an axe and about to axe-murder his mother (under mind control from Stewie, of course.)
My home PC has Strong Bad.

i have ALOT but i dont know how to copy them and paste them here :)

Heard from him a few weeks ago. He said he was angry about the London bombings and was laying low until he could cool down enough to keep from posting something offensive. Considering how long he's been off NS I guess we'd better try to contact him.

I remember that- was a while ago-anyone hear anything since?

Use Imageshack.us to host them, then post a link.

I would hope he cooled down enough by now- unless someone he knew was injured/killed.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but Colodia's post reminded me of something WL would have on his wallpaper

I've just emailed him.

Damn right I dig giant robots!

Here's some of my older ones:

I had this one roughly until the day until NATO expanded (http://img358.imageshack.us/img358/1741/natobg193yz.jpg)
I changed it to this afterwards (http://img358.imageshack.us/img358/9506/natobg269us.jpg)
And I had this one after the EuroCup (http://img358.imageshack.us/img358/5964/emfinal4tz.jpg)

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b131/Colodia/1124421038151.jpg

is there a story behind this photo?

I remember that- was a while ago-anyone hear anything since?Not since. I suppose the best way to check on whether he's back is to search for his country... Maybe he came back and is still only lurking... Or he could have picked a different name to start with a clean slate

Mine is a picture of my beagle.

Concept art from HL2 (http://4ss4sinpro.hopto.org/backround.jpg)

was also this (http://4ss4sinpro.hopto.org/sharp edges sign.bmp) for a while.

I have a generic screen, but I have a variety of photos as screens savers; they run through the program in about 20 min. They are:
Asia: from Georgia and Jordan to China, Korea and Japan.

Europe: from Ireland and UK to Russia and Ukraine.

Africa: from Tunisia and Egypt to Senegal, Ethopia, Kenya, and SA.

North America: from BC to Québec, from Alaska to Washington, D. C. and from Yucatán to Mexico City.

South America: from Venezuela, Brazil, Peru, Argentina, etc.

Plus, I have one of castles, one of gothic architecture, of baroque architecture, of romanesque architecture, and modern architecture (from Berlin, Paris, Brasilia, Kuala Lumpur, etc.)

I also have one of children from around the world and one of classical antiquity.

I change them every week or depending on my mood.

Despite it saying jpgs, I think the website has converted them to bmps just to spite us, which combined with its slow download rate makes for ridiculous load times even for broadband, I would suggest you switch to either www.photobucket.com or www.imageshack.us

This (http://pages.slu.edu/student/wohlfojm/redstar4c.jpg) is(was) my desktop background...until my laptop caught a cold. I like to keep it minimal, no icons on the desktop.


Mmmm....widescreen

A 1969 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler II. A rare, aerodynamically-designed musclecar (its drag coefficient is like 0.30), powered by a 290hp 351W V-8, in candy apple red Carl Yarborough trim. Only 360 or so made.

Why they didn't give it the 390 or 428CJ is beyond me. Or, equally important, why only an auto?

GREATEST SPY EVER!!!!!!!!

GREATEST SPY EVER!!!!!!!!Meh, if he's still around when they bring out "From Jupiter with Love" we can talk...

Mine is a Native American village.

*After From Jupiter With Love Came Out I Meet Laerod*




Hey remember those wallpapers i showed of sam fisher he is still "THE GREATEST SPY EVER!!!" :p

Hey remember those wallpapers i showed of sam fisher he is still "THE GREATEST SPY EVER!!!" :pEh? You young whippersnapper never saw the likes of reeeeeeeeeal spy material. Now that Bond character is a damn fine spy. He's been around since my own daddy was small. (try reading it in a "crazy coot" voice. It might actually be funny then) :D

HEY it was funny lol...............I like Bond...but I love Sam Fisher much more


besides the new movie is gonna suck....new bond actor...and supposidly this is pre-Dr. NO....as in it is a rookie bond...not the bond we all love...WHY!!! :(

Solid Snake > Sam Fisher

besides the new movie is gonna suck....new bond actor...and supposidly this is pre-Dr. NO....as in it is a rookie bond...not the bond we all love...WHY!!! :(Ugh... whatever it is, it can't be as bad as "Operation Kid Brother" (which I have yet to own as a region 2 DVD). That had Neil Connery (yes, Sean Connery's little brother) play James Bond's little brother.
I heard the title was "Casino Royale" for the new one. Am I right? The older versions of that take place long after Bond retires, so I'll be interested how that turns out.
Anyway, Bond is good for the action but has become more disappointing plot-wise lately, and yet he's still the coolest one around.:D
Some of the old movies just kick ass and have enemies unrivaled by anything else.

do you also remeber the old TV show "James Bond Jr." what a lump of crap.

all the old movies kick ass because they are all based on the books...i cant wait for the splinter cell movie.

yes Casino Royal is the name of the ship that will sink faster than an italian in cement boots. LOL

LETS GO SAM...LETS GO!!!!!

Solid Snake > Sam Fisher



Solid snake is ok....but Sam is cooler because a)he is 40+ years old doing cool stunts and is not a geneticly perfect soldier b)Snake got replaced for one game by a Raiden the FAG.

For a long time it has been Shodan from System Shock.

This picture of a Maserati MC12 (http://img387.imageshack.us/img387/8431/mc12taglioantopenhig2db.jpg) but much bigger and in hi-res.

I usually have images I've made myself, all of which are too big to host on imageshack, and which I wouldn't share on a public forum anyway, for fear of them being stolen. (I'm either a) paranoid, b) really that good or c) both...if you choose C, you are correct)

I cant seem to get my PrtScrn button to work at the moment, guess I'll be doin a little playin with the computer settings tomorrow...

Currently, my desktop is black and featureless...except for 3 icons...one of which is about to be deleted...

My brother and I were bored, so we went into paint and started writing and drawing stuff. It looks stupid, but I like it. -_- I'll see if I can save it somewhere.
