Title: Goodbye for now
Post by: Floyd-the-k on 23 November, 2005, 03:56:36 AM
I'm giving up the board for a little while, while I get some study done.  I have a lot of trouble knuckling down to study, and this is one of my favourite 'not working' activities. I'll miss it.

But, I'll return, hopefully armed with the awesome powers of a Certificate IV in Workplace Training and Assessment (evil laugh.  and look like this. Probably.

You're gonna get a sex change and then a have a mechanical man surgically grafted on to your spine?

Anyway... All the best with that.

and look like this

You kept your imminent gender re-assignment a bit quiet, Floyd! Not sure blonde's the way to go for you, though. ;)

Good luck with your studies, chap.

Always sad to see the more sensible members of the board take a break.
Good luck with the study - don't leave us with the nutters too long.

Title: photoshop/ms paint scary boarder/droid photos
Post by: Conexus on 23 November, 2005, 06:05:21 AM
let us celebrate our cliquieness by photoshopping pictures of Boarders and/or droids with obscure in- jokes, alienating all newbies- Hurrah!

Here's one I done earlier (in my defence I'd only just got paintshop at the time.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

There'll be no prize, except that feeling that by being able to win a cliquey in-joke comp, you really should get out more.
You can photoshop yourself,if you're desperate not to offend, and it doesn't have to include in jokes- it can just be weird if you are a newbie

oh, and no recycling Mulcher driving photoshops-I want unseen stuff

Here's hoping that this'll end up like my 2000AD little Pony comp, and not like every other art comp I've run on this site since

Hey Floyd,
Good luck with the studies mate, I honestly can't remember if i said a big "Thanks" for helping me out when you lived in Japan, so i'll belatedly say it now "THANKS"! I enjoy reading your posts, so like every-one says - Don't stay away too long.
Best,
Rob.

I'm back!
 The course finished last night. I find out for sure by the end of the year, but most likely I now have a Certificate IV in workplace training and assessment. Unfortunately they didn't give me a suit of armour or a nubile blonde woman, so I still look like the picture on my profile.
  Giving up the board was kind of symbolic - my way of saying I wouldn't procrastinate. Thanks again for the kind words on this thread.

yours again-postingly

Hey there Floyd caught sniffing around the chatroom one morning, I think it was a little weaning off period for you. I thoought, when I saw the 1 by the chatroom,;" No it can't be,Floyd, he is in repentance at the moment. Why, the leaving thread is still fresh in the board."

I had a look when you had gone and lo and behold the skiver became apparent.Oh the mirth you instilled,F.I was glad I had not encouraged the shirking of the cold turkey.
