Our winner this week is uber n00b. Everyone who has read this thread knows why:

uber n00b said...
Hello, I'm new here. I am just starting out and I have 3 questions for all you experienced designers:

1. I heard Macs are better than PCs. Is this true and why?

2. What programs do I need to start learning how make nifty designs such as those found in many of your sigs?

3. I think this forum needs a redesign. No offense, but you call yourselves graphic designers?



P.S. What's the fascination with Boobie Island?

Our runner ups this week go to PrintDriver with an assist from Holliday. These are from Silence's fart thread:

And the bat carries you to...
The Gas Room.
BOOOOOM!
You have died.
Lesson: don't bring torches to the gas room.
(and if you know what I'm talking about, you're OLD!)

Holliday said...
Zork? An old Abermud?

PrintDriver said...
Yeah, Zork, old man.
Or did you play the Gold series?
Zork and Wizardry made me the geek that I am.

And finally this one by Big Perm from the same thread which really made me laugh:

Woooooohoooooo!!!!!!! I made QOTW!!!!!! Errr, I mean, congrats, uber n00b!!!!!!! LOL.

Have a happy Friday, everyone! Mine is off to a slow start. I don't think I'm going to do anything productive for at least an hour or hour and-a-half. I look forward to sleeping in tomorrow and maybe hitting the beach if the weather permits.

And for your viewing pleasure, here's another Quote that made me laugh this week:

Hey Joe -

Lots of broken links on that site. :(

One in particular 'Buy this Book' link takes you to a page with a large 'broken' image. Red X is not cool man.

What I can see is looking good though!

Of course I missed the friday thread....AGAIN. Oh well, wifey came home from being gone all week, so I guess that's as good of an excuse as any. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend, at least what's left of it.
