Title: It is time for the torch to be passed.
Post by: Chino on May 21, 2009, 05:15:30 AM
We all love Zeltar. He has been the forum baby for a few years now. The fact of the matter is, he is growing up (as much as we all hate to admit it). I here by suggest the notion that he passes the torch and appoints icysk8er as the new forum baby. He is 14, a smart ass, likes to challenge people, makes threads fail, and yet some how still seems like he belongs at DTF. I feel this kid should be able to handle this position just fine, as long as his shirt stays on. What do you say?

I think he's too new to take Zeltar's place. I think we need at least a 6 month minimum to reach Zeltar's status of forum toddler.

I say he has to complete an epic task to gain this title.

That task is get your ass over to your advanced chorus rehearsals and out of the computer lab, take part in the program today/tonight, and DO NOT QUIT BECAUSE YOU"RE DISAPPOINTED.

He has to go through a ceremonial ritual first before taking over.

A rite of passage if you will (https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/Smileys/default/tard.gif)

Aw, I never wanted to make you feel bad. I"m sorry. If you're sure you can't ask the computer lab teacher person for a pass to chorus, saying that you were online here looking for electronic kits because your teacher told you at the last second you need one, then there's nothing you can do.

That's a shame though, teachers are just people, and sometimes they even have the job because they pretty much LIKE kids...

but anyway about it, you're home here. :)

Isn't torchpassing a thing that goes unmentioned or unplanned until it has actually happened?
Otherwise, it's just a forced dissemination of false glory intended to elevate one while further immortalizing another.

The remains, AFAIK, are in fact with antipop at 5/8.

I went.  I went to the chorus, swallowed my pride in front of anyone, and asked if I could be in the concert.  And she said yes.  So I am in the concert now.  Thank you for talking me into it.  =D.  p.s.  I am the forum baby cuz of this now.  =D

thanks,
Collin
[p.s. she said I can wear what ever I want as long as I come, but it is supposed to be black pants and a white shirt.
so there is my epic task.  And I think I can live up to the responsibility. =D.  as long as it is ok with zeltar.  I think maybe just have in this thread, zeltar passing it.  me taking it. =D

Nope. Actually, you have to complete the tasks that the top ten post whores will give you. And we'll go from #10 to #1. Once you've fulfilled these ten tasks, you'll go to your final task that Zeltar will assign.

As a reminder, you have to give us evidence of the completion of your tasks, otherwise you won't advance in your journey for the title of "forum baby".

Nobody said this was going to be easy. These shoes bring a lot of responsibility and respect.

Perfect, so you take "ThePancaker's" place. We'll start with the challenges next week. First challenge, by Nick, will be said on Sunday so icysk8r has time and no excuse for saying he didn't read the thread.

k.  well, sunday I am at my dads.  I will still be on, but depending on what it is, I may not be able to do it, because I am limited to my dad's apartment.  this reminds me of 16 candles where he has to get the girls underwear.  lol.
probably shouldn't have said that.  great.

This thread makes me feel warm and fuzzy. :D

I'm all for this epic idea of the top 10 posters assigning a task thing. Normally I'd agree with the people that say we should choose a more concrete member as the Forum Baby but I get the feeling icysk8r will be here for a while. He's been here for what, a month? And he's already rearing up on 1000 posts. Oh and who's gonna replace me on the list? We already got VFS replacing Pancaker but we got no one to replace me unless I missed something in my skim.

Before we proceed with this, I need to know something, icysk8r. I need to be sure that you're gonna be a staple member and post here for a long time. You've got to post early and often and make yourself known. Let your name ring through DTF through the dumb shit that you do. Be the little brother that everyone hates but loves at the same time. If you fail to complete any of these roles, not only will you have let the forum down, but you will have let me down. Once we get your answer, we'll get this shit started.

[within the next few days of course!] I think we should start now. not sunday...  Like, nick will give task now, and I complete tomorrow, or whenever, depending on what it is.

One thing. You HAVE to perfect your grammar. Like REALLY try hard to get it straight. You have made a big breakthrough with your

posts that were
kind of messy
like this.
Like a japanese
poem. Haiku.

Double check your posts. Don't invent words. Use the dictionary; learn new words. Zeltar has improved with time in his writing; we expect the same with you. Oh, and a last thing, Zeltar posted the "Master of Puppets" solo which was almost perfect. We want something similar with you. We know you play drums so I'll give you a heads up of what I want to hear. Be ready, because my test will have something to do with your drum playing. Understood?

Oh, and top ten posters: start thinking what you are going to make icysk8r do, but don't say it before it's your turn, OK?

NO! And let that be a warning. No undeserved bashing. Zeltar's t-shirt mockery is well deserved. A sexual orientation is not. NO BASHING!

The tasks won't be made to humiliate icy but to make him a better person and fit the job of becoming DTF's baby. These tasks are for great fun, alright?

Actually he's not even in the top 10.  Check the member list.
BlobVanDam     12502
hefdaddy42        10958
Jamesmiain        10280
Dimitrius        10158
The Pancaker   10036 (He doesn't count as he doesn't post any more so a random Mod will replace him)
rumborak        8869
emindead        8454
axeman90210   7613
Zeltar           7481
Nick                6787

Yeah but to me, post whores are ones who have a bunch of posts they don't deserve because 99% of their posts come from the "three word thread" or the "what are you listening to". We should get some kind of statistic on that.

Yes I am going to stay here.  i love it here.  Who would leave a site like this?

Someone who thinks he's really that hated here. :lol J/K.

Post by: Nick on May 22, 2009, 11:56:10 AM
TASK #1

You are to submit to me in a private message a 500 word essay on why spelling and grammar are important. I will proof said essay, and if it lacks spelling and grammar errors, will post it as the completion of your task. However if there are any errors, I will tell you to revise it until you get it right, perhaps giving you a hint towards what the error(s) was if I am feeling merciful. On top of it all I must be convinced why good spelling and grammar are important. Go forth.
Title: Re: It is time for the torch to be passed.
Post by: Chino on May 22, 2009, 12:12:54 PM
The official rules:

Here are the top 10 posters who will make the challenges.

BlobVanDam     12502
hefdaddy42        10958
Jamesmiain        10280
Dimitrius        10158
The Pancaker   10036 (He doesn't count as he doesn't post any more so a random Mod will replace him)
rumborak        8869
emindead        8454
axeman90210   7613
Zeltar           7481
Nick                6787

Seeing as Zeltar is making the final challenge, I shall be taking his place.

We will each give icysk8r a challenge, starting with Nick and working our way backwards, I will go second, axeman will go third, and so on.

The challenge must be able to be completed within a 1 week time period.

Do not state your challenge unless it is your turn to give one.

Once the 10 challenges have been completed, Zeltar will command icysk8r to perform one more and final task before the honor can be passed down to him.

Challenges must not cost anything to complete, can not risk getting the law involved, and safety above all other things.

Picture and or video evidence must be submitted for each challenge.

Only he who created the challenge decides whether it was fulfilled.

I propose that if he does not succeed in any of his tasks, he earns a spot in the "Trinity of Fail". Just to up the stakes a little.
well how many chances do I get?  can't expect me to do everything right the very first time
Well, that is why you have one whole week to give evidence of the fulfillment of your task. Use your time wisely. Don't rush [unless you are absolute confident with your result].

lol.  when I was very little I used to want to have ice powers, and I was always normal temp.  I never felt hot or cold, and I could play outside in the cold and not feel cold or get sick. so my nickname was icy.  for about a year I skateboarded.  so that's where the sk8r came from.  so icysk8r.  my mom put them together though when I was little to make me an email.  and yes, I posted a pic A while back.  I will post another though.

Hardly, but I am a good proof-reader, I can find other peoples mistakes easily, even if I make those same mistakes myself. More importantly, our young challenger could really use the skills put forth in this challenge.

Title: Re: It is time for the torch to be passed.
Post by: Nick on May 23, 2009, 05:38:34 PM
It's good enough for me at this point. Task #1 complete.

===================================

Good grammar and spelling are important for a variety of reasons.  One reason is the level of seriousness.  If you are typing with bad grammar and spelling, many people will not take you seriously, rendering the point you were trying to get across obsolete.  Many people type with bad grammar or spelling because they do not feel like taking the time to type.  While this may be easier on the typist, the reader may experience a lot of frustration and aggravation due to the fact that they can not understand what the writer is trying to say.  Also, if you make errors in your grammar, your point may come across different than you originally intended it to.  It is also very important to type in complete sentences, organizing one thought into one paragraph.  I have personal experience with this, because I, too, used to type in incomplete sentences, skipping a line very often.  While this was convenient to me, many people who were reading got aggravated and told me to stop. Now, I believe I have improved greatly, and anytime I type, I use complete sentences and paragraphs.
    Spelling is especially important.  If you spell incorrectly, you may not be taken seriously, as stated above.  Also, the reader may try to guess what word you were trying to say, and guess incorrectly.  Another common thing that people do is type the homonym [words that are said the same, but have different spellings and meanings] to the word they wanted instead of using that word, like confusing “their” with “there” and “they’re.”  “They’re” is a contraction for the words "they" and "are".  “Their” is a word showing possession of a noun between two people.  The last sentence brings me to my next point:  Many people will use the word “their”, when describing one person owning something, while the correct way to phrase it would be to use “his” or “her”.  The only time to use the word “their” is when there are two people in possession of something.
   You should use good grammar and spelling at all times, even whilst socializing with your friends on a social networking site, instant messenger, or email.  If you don’t use proper grammar and spelling with your friends, you may struggle greatly on writing a paper for your professor or teacher at school.  If you need to write a report for your boss, you can’t waste your time making sure you spell everything correctly and use proper grammar.  If you would use proper grammar and spelling at all times, it would already be in your brain that that is what you do. You will not have to consciously think about using good grammar or spelling anymore.  This will save you a lot of time not having to go over your essays countless times to make sure they are right.
   In conclusion, I find that using proper grammar and spelling at all times is an essential part of life, and will make you seem more intelligent to your peers.

I would give it a B+. That paragraph where Jen pointed out your mistake is pretty incoherent. I might have an idea with what you wanted to say, but I'm still lost... and you should correct it.

Damn, the picture is a little dark,  and was taken on a camera phone, so the shadows [especially on her face and bottom of arms] look red,[ which is weird, because she has a really nice tan. ] so it doesn't look as hot, but whatever, tell me what you think.

YES!  I was a little worried on that one. =D

This wasn't part of the task, so it is optional for you to do. I would like to hear the story behind how you got this photo. How did you approach her, what is her name, what was her reaction, etc....?
I just walked up to her, and was like "I need a picture of you holding this, don't ask questions"  and then she laughed and was like "ookkk..."
Then I took it, and she even posed with it, but I just took the normal shot. lol.
I mean, she has seen me around school, so it isn't THAT creepy.  but creepy nonetheless.
I am not saying her name, because she doesn't even know this picture went up, and I would feel wrong giving a picture of her with her name and age and stuff.  sorry.  :police:

She's pretty fine, not gonna lie. Nice one icy. Chino, you are my god. I have no idea how I'm gonna come up with a task epicer than that. Now the one problem is I thought we were doing one task a week which would give me 11 weeks to think of something. Seems like we've gone through two tasks in one week. Can we keep it to two tasks per week to benefit the task people? Idk about you guys but I'm a slow thinker so yeahh I need some time.  :blush

How about after zI complete a challenge, we will give the next person at least 5 days to think of something.

and she is my age.  damn.  I know, she looks a lot older, and is very hot, but overlooked for some reason.  maybe because she tries to stay away from the popular crowd.

Damn, the picture is a little dark,  and was taken on a camera phone, so the shadows [especially on her face and bottom of arms] look red,[ which is weird, because she has a really nice tan. ] so it doesn't look as hot, but whatever, tell me what you think.

I don;t know her very well.  We don't talk.  the only time we even come close to alking is if I am talking to someone, and she is in the same little group talking with them.  but we don't talk.  I know her name and stuff though, because my ex-boyfriend used to like her, and she used to like him.

Zeltar being a die hard fan of the San Jose sharks (hockey team), I propose you could write a 500 words essay on a hockey team of your choice, saying why this team is your favorite (If you don't have any fav team... find one!). You can also add comparisons between your team and the Sharks.

Zeltar being a die hard fan of the San Jose sharks (hockey team), I propose you could write a 500 words essay on a hockey team of your choice, saying why this team is your favorite (If you don't have any fav team... find one!). You can also add comparisons between your team and the Sharks.
Hockey is BORING!
Get the fuck out of my thread right now. That kind of talk doesn't belong here.

He does, but good Lord, if you find soccer exciting, I have no idea how hockey could possibly be boring.  The concepts are the same (get the ball/puck into the goal, which is protected by a goalie), but adds all kinds of other great things to the mix, like hockey sticks, and razor blades on their feet, and wals that you check the other team's members into.

But to get a "time out"? Please.
I'll give you the fights. When they happen they're cool. No doubt about it.
But hockey suffers from the same syndrome of the NFL: too much equipment. Helmets, shields, skates, sticks... might just roll them in bubble paper and see them crash against each other. At least it's a faster game compared to the NFL.

Football is #1 sport in the world for a reason.

Well the point of the game isn't to get murders on the ice. Just put that equipment and go get hit by a Junior player, you'll see it's not that easy. Also, go on youtube and look at a few hard contacts in hockey... you may change your opinion about the protection that "too much equipment" offers. And finally, just to remember you, in hockey they're shooting a small metal puck all around the ice at sometimes more than 80 miles per hour. If you get hit by that thing without equipment (and even with), I'll let you imagine what the consequences may be.

I also think that because of the lack of boundaries, low amounts of stoppages in play, and the pure speed and physicality of the game, hockey is one of the most exciting sports out there. There are hardly ever boring games as long as you stay away from games where two bad teams play each other and when it comes to playoff hockey, there's nothing like it. I know this is my opinion and it comes from me being a hockey player/fan for the past 16 years, but I honestly can't see how hockey can be considered boring.

And I don't know for you, but for me, it has become 100x time more exciting since the lock out. The game is now faster and the amount of goals is just perfect for me; not too much and not 1-0 each game like in soccer.

Yeah post-lockout hockey is very different. The neutral zone trap is hardly used anymore and that's what made the game so bland in the mid to late 90's-early 00's. The removal of the two line pass rule, and all the new power play faceoff rules they made have made the game much faster. And the flood of young offensive talent like Ovechkin, Malkin, Crosby, Toews, and all those guys have made the game offensive again. I can see players scoring 130-140 points again in the near future.

Title: Re: It is time for the torch to be passed. (Axeman needed)
Post by: emindead on May 31, 2009, 06:51:49 PM
Alright icy, this is your challenge:

"Lock eyes from across the room
Down my drink while the rhythms boom
Take your hands, skip the names
No need here for the silly games
Make our way through the smoke and crowd
The club is the sky and I'm on your cloud
Move in close as the lasers fly
Our bodies touch and the angels cry

Leave this place go back to yours
Our lips first touch outside your doors
The whole night what we've got in store
Whisper in my ear that you want some more
And I smile in my pants
"

Your task is to get yourself a video camera (come on, it's not that difficult to find one. Most regular cameras have video as well. So no excuses and it won't cost you a bit - you can even borrow one) and ask random people at your school to sing a verse of the song (what I wrote is not the whole of it, look up for the rest of the lyrics). So you'll more or less find yourself in this situation:

-You: "Hey, I need a favor. I'm doing this project and I need you collaboration. Do you know that song "smile in My Pants" by
The Lonely Island? The one made famous in SNL. Well, I need to record you singing one part of x verse. Could you help me, please?" (Be persuasive!)
-Kid A: "Sure. I guess."
-You: "Here. Sing this with the rhythm of the song."
-Kid A: "Speeding in the street, when the red lights flash -- Need to get away, need to make a dash."
-You: "That's perfect. Thank you very much. That's great."

And then you proceed to find another boy or girl and repeat that process untill you have most of the lyrics recorded. You will then mix every take so the whole thing is jammed into one song. You have to appear in that video, and your appearance will be at the end of the song when the lyrics go:

"I smile right in my pants
Every time you're next to me
And when we're holdin hands
Its like havin sex with me
You say I'm premature
I just call it ecstasy
I wear a rubber at all times
Its a necessity
"

Put the original score in the background so you can make it flow better (but mostly so we can sing along ;) ).
It won't too much of your time if you use it wisely. And I make it easier as I don't challenge you for making the kids act (but if they want... bonus points).

Here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pXfHLUlZf4
Have fun! (Oh, you can censor the word smile if you want and replace it with "smile".) This is not a professional production but we do want to see the effort in the final result. OK?

GO! You have until next Sunday.

Fine. For my 9000th post, and for the challenge I originally had in mind: Icy, record yourself playing "Constant Motion" and "Honor Thy Father" in your (real) drum set. Easy? You have to beat the song at least with 95% of accuracy. You have a week to perfect them. There are drummers in this board who will help me the evaluation. Put the camera at an angle where we can see that you are playing the whole thing like at this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Eia5-vE0nE&feature=related

Noticed how he put the original song in the background? Do the same.

ONE WEEK. And be grateful that considering how mad I was for you rejecting my original proposition I didn't demand "The Dance of Eternity".

whatever.   Do you think maybe we could make it like, 80% accuracy?  I mean, that is learning almost 20 minutes worth of drums in 1 week.

EDIT: now that I think about it, I think I can do the part in constant motion.  It actually isn't extremely hard if you break it down.  don't get me wrong, I will fail at least 20 times... but I think I can get it.  As far as HTF goes, I am not so sure if it is hard or not, like I said, I don't really listen to it much.

dude.  I don't think I can learn honor thy father in time.  I would, but thats learning a 10 minute song in one week, and I still gotta learn the res of constant motion.  I will sill do two songs, but maybe do something from awake, or something like that.  or just a shorter song.  because it is not possible to learn a dream theater song of 10 minutes long in one week, especially if I don't listen to it.

Not trying to complain, but I just don't think I can do it.
Please reply as soon as possible,
-Collin

The point of these tasks is to make you a better person. That you really gain something from this experience.

Yeah, play "6:00", then. 95% of accuracy.

K.  I'll try to learn 6:00.  and, dammit i'm not writing another essay. =D.  I will play the songs though.
EDIT:  Yeah, 6:00 is a lot more realistic, I just air drummed it [I know that isn't a good way to know if you can play something, but it gives you an idea of if you know what to hit], and I got it pretty good.  I began playing constant motion today, And I have the beginning of the impossible part down pretty good.  Tomorrow I have A field trip to an amusement park, and I will stay there all day, so no practicing it tomorrow.  I will post the videos on monday, if I can't upload them monday, I will upload them tuesday.

yeah, just dont worry about trynig to make your task the hardest ever.  You just gotta make something mildly challenging, and make sure that it is possible.  Because I do have a life, and I'm not spending all my time for the next 7 weeks doing tasks. =D
I will work on them when I can, but that isn't my main focus in life.
So your challenge is good emindead, and the two challenges i completed before were good, lets just keep them all like this.

I agree with this 100%. Imposing playing the two hardest DT songs on drums as a challenge is bull and takes all the fun out of this contest which was supposed to be fun and a little tongue-in-cheek (regarding icysk8er's grammar/spelling issue which is mostly gone). Sorry emin, but it seems that you either haven't understood the point of this thread or that you are way too ambitious at coming up with the most epic challenge, which, by the way, isn't the point of it either.

other than the intro, chorus, and pre-chorus, 6:00 is pretty much a trainwreck.  I think I can get it up a little though by monday/tuesday.  I will just practice the hell out of them.  Doesn't help that my wrists hurts from baseball.  :facepalm:

Guys, I just finished recording the constant motion cove.  It is pretty awesome for one week.  I will upload it now, but I think youtube will take it off because of the wmg copyright.  So I will have to mess around with it a little, maybe trim the beginning off.  I will post it here when it is finished.  I will record the 6:00 cover tonight too.

"Constant Motion": 2.25/2.5
"6:00": 2.125/2.5
______________________
Total Marks: 4.37500
Minus .005 for the delay:
Final Grade: 4.37000
______________________

I really liked them both. With "Constant Motion" you could listen where you the groove was lost but you handled it pretty well and I was pleasantly surprised with what I heard. I asked Dimi what he thought and we pretty much agreed with the grade. Good pull off!

"6:00" suffered to a higher extend the lack of "grooviness" (yeah, I invented that word) that you handled much better with "Constant Motion". You can have all the excuses you want about why the first one came better, but overall, as if I can pinpoint what you have to work on -from a not-a-drummer view- is the feeling. Loose yourself a bit. Get into the songs. Enjoy the moment; it may not sound absolutely perfect but the overall sound will be enjoyed not only by you but by the listener as well. You were focusing too much following MP's lead. Loose yourself a bit, like you did in some parts of CM and you'll playing will improve substantially. Having said all of that, of course, IMHO.

DAMN YOU for your delay, icy!!!


Emindead gives his blessing and says he can now move to the next challenge.

You were focusing too much following MP's lead. Loose yourself a bit, like you did in some parts of CM and you'll playing will improve substantially. Having said all of that, of course, IMHO.

DAMN YOU for your delay, icy!!!


Emindead gives his blessing and says he can now move to the next challenge.

Are you sure of the 2.125? I personnaly would tend to go with a 2.124...

Also, you may want to correct my english grammar later on for that, but for now, I'm being the math corrector:

4.375-0.05= 4.325

I gotta agree with Emin about you being too stiff while playing 6:00. This is coming from a fellow drummer, you thought about the song too much while playing it. You didn't see very comfortable playing it compared to Constant Motion.

Always try to feel comfortable with the songs, when one is thinking too much about the drum parts (what's coming next, gotta be ready) one tends to mess up and/or the songs ends up with no grooviness (thanks Emin, :lol) to it.

lol yeah.  Well I was nervous because I had only been playing it for like, 4 days.  And I was pissed because the computer kept fucking up on me.  If I actually know a song good I am a lot "groovier"

icy, those performances were damn awesome and you should be seriously proud of them! Yeah the sound was kinda crap in the second one, and obviously they weren't perfect but then 1) you only had a week to work on them, and more importantly (IMO) 2) you were playing along with the recording, which is a REALLY hard thing to do. I know Emin and Dimi are going on about losing yourself in the song, which is true if you're playing live, because it's not a big deal if you don't play every hit as it is in the recording, as long as you're in time and playing well. But when playing with a recording, if you do anything differently it's going to be obvious, and that makes it MUCH harder to play without being a little stiff.

So yeah, very very well done! :D

He's still doing a cover, technically, so he doesn't have to play everything as it is. Whenever I practice songs I play to the recordings and I still try to lose myself in it.

Yes, my point was that when you're playing along with the recording, if you play anything differently then it'll be noticeable because you can hear the recording behind it.

lol, how am I supposed to translate them without using a translator?

and I think I have heard instrumedly like, once.
I will think though.  Can you give me a day before the challenge actually starts so I have time to think of which one to do?

EDIT:
Dance of eternity seems hard...I know how to play metropolis and erotomania... Ytse Jam seems easy... I don't even know what song is after ytse jam, the rest I don't know but seems hard up until one last time.
I think i will do instrumedly, don't expect it to be perfect though because this is actually my first time hearing it.
Wish me good luck

EDIT ON THE EDIT: and I swear, if I am playing the real erotomania, and I just bust out into ytse jam in the middle, I am going to be pissed because I started going straight into voices in the middle of erotomania for a while because I made my own medly.

So, you guys can take a vote on whether to still let me be forum baby, but if not I understand because I did say I would do the challenges.  I just don't think I can do this one.  Sorry demi.

This. If having so many individual ones won't work then Zeltar should definitely come up with the ultimate one.

 :lol You overestimate my cleverness. I can't come up with a challenge THAT epic all alone. Like I said previous times, I'd like to have the help of other challenge creators.

I haven't been here long but I've read the whole thing, and seeing the challanges he's completed already, I say you just make him the forum baby, I for one enjoyed his drum covers.  :metal

I say you just make him the forum baby and have him do a big, fun, challange to confirm it.  :tup

Yeah I like the "photos of each smiley" idea. I'm quite bored of this thread now but that could be a fun final challenge. Anything you don't have, like cigarettes, you can just use another prop of some kind, like a pencil or something.

We haven't forgotten, we're just collaborating. It's gotta be good enough that everyone on the forum appreciates it.

AND I MEAN EVERYONE.

I thought of one challenge he could do. It's fairly easy, and could be fun for him, too. It's basically the same as the kids do in the Mini-playback-show. He'd record a video of himself doing the vocals of one of DT's epics but without actually singing. All he'd need to do is play the song in the background, take a fake mic, and dig holes!  :biggrin:

What do you guys think?
Title: Re: It is time for the torch to be passed.
Post by: tri.ad on June 21, 2009, 04:36:10 AM
I like the smiley challenge better, since it's more DTF related. After all, he's not supposed to be the DT baby, but the DTF baby, right?

I don't think I am doing them right now.  I don't think any of the smilies have huge gashes on their face.
When my face heals a little more I will do them.

Yeah, as of right now this thread really has lost its reason for being, so unless something changes, I'm going to lock it, unsticky it, and move to the archives.
