Forum: Off-topic

Some wits of wisdom from SFPD Inspector "Dirty" Harry Callahan over the years:

"But being that this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head CLEAN OFF, you've got to ask yourself one question, 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, PUNK?"

"A man's got to know his limitations..."

"A .357 Magnum is a good weapon, but I've seen .38s bounce off of windshieds. No good in a city like this."

"Go ahead...Make my day."

"You're out of bullets, and you know what that means...You're $h!t outta luck."

no Elite club? (I just realized I topped 1K posts!) Cool

Maybe a "virtual" 1K post patch? Shrug

Keep 'em flyin' Thumb

TEG

Welcome back to the "Elite" group. You had been there before when the requirement was still 500.

How's this, I'll make them up, have my uncle texture them in PhotoShop, then I'll post them in a new thread:

These are the one's I'm thinking of:
"500 Club" (Bronze)
"Elite 1K" (Silver)
"Elite 2K" (Gold)
"Elite 3K" (Platinum)
"Moderator"
"Editor"
"Admin"
A "special" one for TC and Parrothead (This is going to be the best one if it turns out right)

Most of these will be of similar layout, but I don't think they can be added onto the posts unless the forum switches to a different software package, but then that runs a good chance of losing the post counts and all the great threads. It'll take some time, and I'll have to see if PhotoShop can texture things like that, but once I get the designs done, it's just a matter of shooting a few emails back and forth and putting them up.

TC and Parrothead are probably going to have to slow down, because there's only two more precious things that I can think of that are more expensive than Platinum, Plutonium and Tritium for 4K and 5K. You hit 6K, and I think I will sic the Coca Cola Company on youse guys.

Special ones for TC and me? Naw - we're just normal people Razz

The Coca Cola guys aren't needed - just call the 6K patch the "Congressional Idea" patch - the most expensive thing I can think of Laughing

Normal - yes, but well away from the middle of the bell curve. I assume this patch automatically comes with earmarked clusters

I finished the first one!!!

here it is in all its majestic glory:

If you don't like my artistic skills, then go spend the time to make your own patches Razz

edited the post to redirect the link to the new one that doesn't have the crooked wing.

That's a great one Laughing

!!!

Glad you like it! I have to fix the 500 club one, if you look closely, the wing on the port side is misalligned,

If you like that one, your special one is going to make you fall off your chair.

Here are the others:
Elite 1K

Elite 2K

Elite 3K

I have to finish up the other two elite ones, and then I'll start work on the Admin/Mod/Editor ones after class.

Its gonna be a while [VERY long time] before I reach 500, but I def want one of those patches if/when i get there. btw what is more valuable than tritium?

Finally, I get to do what I've wanted to do since I heard this thread existed, it's my

500th POST!!!

WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!! (and I don't mean the chocolate milk!!)

if I combine all the posts I've made with this screenname all over the 'net, I'd be about 1K closer. Plus now my college class is finished, I can spend a ton more time on here.

Careful there - many more posts and people will start thinking you're another version of TC Razz

Nah, TC knows what he posts about. Me? I'm 90% Bulls**t.

Honestly, if I spent as much time on my novel as I do writing posts on the internet, I'd have published 3 of the 4 PTPL books already.

If you want proof, google my screenname. It's out there. I primarily post on here and on a few other sites. I pretty regularly google myself, and I have Google Alerts set up with my book title just in case somebody else rips off the title first.
