    Great line, Mike. Spoken like a true fan.

    I am going to see it tonight. And I'm going alone. I tend to go to the movies by myself more often than with someone... It's all good to me.


    As far as this contest goes. I did three entries before lunch. It's not like it's really hard. I can't believe only 5 entered... Oh well...

    Tick tock, kids.

    It's 10:33 my time.






    You could still make twenty of these things before the deadline and not break a sweat.
    Come on!



    EDIT: FOUR MINUTES!!!

    Gonig for midnight, Eastern? Well if you're trying to submit now, you're out of luck. By my watch, it's 1:36. Oh, wait, my watch is fast. 1:31, then. (Five minutes fast on purpose. *shrug*)

    Vaportrail: Do you want me to set up a poll for this? I may not get it done until Monday, but I can certainly do it.

    If you don't need 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, you're better off asking the mods to make a normal forum poll.

    Man, writing on a PalmPilot is slooooow...

    Yeah, a poll would be nice.
    I can ask a mod to do it when I get the images up in photobucket.
    I wound up with eight entries, not counting the All Audience/Mature Audience variations.
    It's not the entry number I was shooting for, but it'll do I suppose.


    Maybe it'll just get people to stop using the MPAA screen, and I can finally sleep at night.
    :p


    EDIT: Arjuna.. you're sitting at your computer and you looked at your WATCH?
    lol, wow.

    You have a watch?

    I haven't needed one since I started carrying a cell phone. It's got a perfect clock built in.

    Plus, everywhere I go in my house, or office, or car, there is always at least 2 clocks within view. And most of them are set automatically.

    Back on topic... If you just need a simple "who wins" poll, go to Max or Adam. They can make it for you. Considering the low number of entries, that should suffice.

    Well, no, I looked at my computer clock first. But "by my watch" is easier to say than "according to Windows". Heck, "according to Windows" is just asking for trouble.

    Heh, I've got a chance to be in the top ten.

    I guess if no one reads this thread it won't be bad if I say, "Hey, I got 8th place in the Approval Screen Contest." :p

    Ugh.
    I hate myself.
    Actually, no.
    I hate all of you for making me need to quote you.

    I haven't needed one since I started carrying a cell phone. It's got a perfect clock built in.
    Star Wars translation: You don't need your wrist-chrono anymore because your comlink now comes with one built in.

    Heck, "according to Windows" is just asking for trouble.
    It'd be nice if time wasn't an issue for them after all these years, but with their current trend they'll probably make you buy a sundial so it's compatible with your hardware (it'll fit nicely on top of your tower) and call it "Clock Beta Release".
    However, it will have several bugs for which fixes will be released in patches, probably in the form of word files saying "go outside" or "it must face North" and things like that.


    I took that joke too far.

    Heh, I've got a chance to be in the top ten.
    There is not an emoticon in existence for the looks I would be giving you right now, but I will try to combine them to tell a story of my initial reactions.

    I guess if no one reads this thread it won't be bad if I say, "Hey, I got 8th place in the Approval Screen Contest."
    Oh, they'll know.
    I will tell them.
    =)

    By the way, are you setting LOW standards for my poll Durb?
    Ah well. It is kinda crappy. No offense guys, I like the entries... but I do wish there were more.



    ANNUAL CONTEST!



    (No way. Ever.)
    I'll get on this ASAP.
    This obviously does not mean immediately, so I'll stress the final AP.

    I was kidding, of course I'm proud of my entry. But someone will always get last. I can only hope I'm not that someone but there's a lot of talented people here, some are being advanced and using video.

    So when do you think ASAP will be? :p

    ^^I really don't know how to respond to that. I've never been good at expressing my condolences... but they're with you.

    ...buy a sundial so it's compatible with your hardware (it'll fit nicely on top of your tower)...

    I have a laptop.

    Bam.

    So when do you think ASAP will be?

    The last time I tried to answer that question, I didn't even have time to finish the project before it was due.



    So let's not jinx it.

    Heh, wrong markup code.

    You are too late, though.
    Sorry.



    EDIT: Sorry to hear that, J-K_UK.
    My grandfather on my dad's side just passed away February.

    It is a weird feeling, walking through his house when he's not there.

    My sentiments exactly.



    I love MSpaint.
    Anyone who can actually figure out its complicated interface should automatically be a winner for any contest he/she enters.
    If there's more than one... then we have a problem.


    :p
