    Saying: Arguing with women is like peeing in the headwind, everything ends up on yourself.
    (Old sailor saying)

    LOL. Seems like those sailors had plenty of time at sea to contemplate the vicissitudes of life and gain a good understanding of how things work. ;-P

    Here we go with Draw #3:

    152 - Woodland Realm Playset Two (Eww, a Cyclorama texture - I hate those!)
    261 - Cyclopean Construction Kit (um, okay....)
    1356 - Enchanted Island (WTF?)
    1215 - Golf Clubs (Double WTF!?)

    This one is liable to take a while. And the only Saying I can think of, I just used! Twice! (Three if you count the Double.)



    Yeah, I know, it took me freakin' long enough! But this one presented special "challenges" (i.e., I drew a load of crap!) And this whole Christmas thing has really been getting in the way lately....

    Anyway, at long last:

    Also used:
    Relic Hunter for M3
    Goth as Fashio (Boots)
    Relic Hunter Essentials
    Everyday Heroes: Police Officer for M3 (the hair)

    TAG: obanion#03

    Title: The Most Inexplicable Archaeological Site, EVER!

    ...and The Saying: "One man's trash is another man's treasure."

    864 - Bad Boy for M4
    726 - Urban Shabby Chic for V4
    378 - Never Clean

    I think I can do something with this. Coming up with the Saying is going to be the tough part....

    I've been busy loading up my brand new PC, moving to DS4.5 at last (still have 4.0 on the laptop just in case!) so only just had the chance to catch up with this latest contest. (I also had to update my product list considerably as I've bought a frightening amount in the last couple of months.)


    You too, eh? I've been going hog-wild and pig-crazy! (Whoa - a Saying! Come on, Randomness...! Daddy needs a new pair of shoes! More to the point, Daddy needs - or at least, very much wants - Justin and Julia!)

    My Itemized Order History list has about 80 more items since I last updated it (back on 18 November). But for now, I'm making do with what I've already enumerated. I'll deal with it after this is over, and the voting thread is being assembled.

    And speaking of which, thank you, Totte and elves, in advance; I know it's a lot of work, and we all appreciate your efforts, and far too few of us think to say it out loud.

    A few comments on the latest posts:

    Luci45 "Lao Mao... " - very pretty, I love the use of colour
    Sasje "Hear the cuckoo ..." - nice-looking snow effects
    mhossack "... elephant in the room" - clever thinking!
    Ken OBanion "The Most Inexplicable ..." - another funny one despite/because of the odd draw
    Sasje "The right tool ..." - lovely detail and nicely lit
    barbult "The Pageant" - love it! very amusing!
    gopherus "... no reason to walk on the branches ..." - lovely bright one - tricky to have to mix toon and not

    And so to my second pull:

    102 = Angel of Light for Aiko 3.0
    189 = Millennium Horse Unicorn
    241 = Michael 3.0 Universal Texture Maps (High Res)

    Ken, I think this is one of your best! It is really very interesting. There is a lot going on there. The monsters(?) creeping out from behind things are just that - kind of creepy.

    Thanks for your kind comments, Melanie. I got a donkey and crowns. It was the middle of December. Where else could that go? The grill was a little difficult, but in the end, with a little tweaking, it fit right in. I like the way yours always have a little extra twinkle and glow to them. This time, I guess it is from your new Ron's brushes. My draws seldom get anything new either. Luckily the rules allow us leeway to add anything we want!

    Thanks, barbult. I appreciate the comments.

    It's just that putting the Millennium Girl Pre-Teen into that situation seemed a bit..., well, wrong. I mean, Michael and Victoria are grown-ups, and they can be expected to fend for themselves, but pre-teen Laura...? Not cool.

    There's also the fact that I generally don't do well with creepy/sinister in general.

    Okay, next one! Here's the draw....

    I clicked to get my first random number just as I got called away to take Mom shopping (she's in her 80's, and we really don't like her to be driving); that first number came up: 666. Oh, yeah, this bodes well!

    Four hours later (old as she is, my Mom is the Shopper From Hell!), I came back to it, and decided to wipe the slate clean and start afresh. (I'm thinking I should have stuck with the '666'!) And here they are:

    606 - Real Hair Textures for Leah Hair
    152 - Woodland Realm Playset Two (Aw, crap, not again...!)
    351 - Buck (WTB? a.k.a., "What the buck...?")
    89 - Real Emotions for David

    Okay, I know exactly what this one calls for. I just have to come up with a Saying. So it's off to Bartlett's.

    And so much for funny....
