[acousticmind]

Hi Everyone!
Just wanted to say HI! My work buddy Bladez told me to sign up

and he also told me to use this typeface; it's cute! Almost as nice as Papyrus

ok ciao

seb

[Bladez]

Dude...I'm gonna have to kill you now....

First Commandment: Thou shalt not use The Font That Will Not Be Named!

[ml_grafix]

nice font - ha ha ha

[Craig B]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again ... I'm so glad I uninstalled that font form my computer. All I see is this:

http://i36.tinypic.com/291ydye.gif

Oh, and congratulations on being new and all.

[ml_grafix]

That font reminds me of the flyers that secretaries in offices or elementary schools make... UGGG

[Red Kittie Kat]

Seb!!! where have you been ... we have been waiting and waiting....

Bladez promised you to me I hope you don't mind :D


Anyhoooo ...


I can be distracted with bacon or donuts ... just an fyi for you :p

When you get settled please read through the threads located here (http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=42). They will give you all the info you need on how the forum runs, the rules and regs, and give you some background info on our long running, inside jokes ;)

[acousticmind]

thanks everyone for the welcome

btw: it's true, Bladez uses comic sans on everything - letterheads, powerpoints, geez.. even his resumé is set in it

haha sorry bud just kiddin

[Bladez]

Lies! All Lies!!

Slander!

God....I feel so dirty now!

[budafist]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again ... I'm so glad I uninstalled that font form my computer. All I see is this:

http://i36.tinypic.com/291ydye.gif

Oh, and congratulations on being new and all.

Me too apparently!

http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/6342/picture1qi3.png

Oh and welcome. What are Bladez deepest and dirtiest secrets? Annoying habits? Anything?

[morea]

Bladez, did you put him up to that? C'mere, my lad. You have an appointment over my knee.

Welcome to GDF, acoustic. ;)

[Bladez]

AHHH! I swear! I had nothing to do with that!

What the hell are you doing to me kid?!?! Trying to ruin my good name?

I hate you......

....wait, that's not true.

I suddenly don't think I like where this thread is going....

[morea]

oh, sorry.

Some guys LIKE spankings, you know. :p

[Bladez]

I'm all for them, as long as it doesn't have any ties to Comic Sans.....

[morea]

I knew I was going to derail that other thread, so I figured I had best reply here. ;)

morea: t'es québecois(e)?? moi aussi! :)

C'est vrai? Moi, je suis americaine, mais j'habite le Québec depuis presque deux ans. Je suis en train d'apprendre le français, mais je fait beaucoup d'erreurs. Je ne connais pas beaucoup de gens ici parce que je ne peut pas le parler bien.

J'habite Sherbrooke, dans l'Estrie. Et toi?

[acousticmind]

enfin... je suis québecois, mais j'habite maintenant en alberta.. à Calgary.. J'habitais à Montréal avant, mais je suis dans l'ouest depuis un an! Tu viens de quel état? Pour te dire la vérité, tu écris très bien en français, tu n'as même pas fait une erreur!

[morea]

Moi, je viens de l'état de New York. Ce n'est pas trop loin, j'ai déménagé seulement 400km.

Le plus loin à l'ouest que je suis allé est Niagara Falls! Je voudrais visiter Calgary un jour, et Vancouver aussi. Je suis allé à Montréal plusiers fois, c'est une belle ville.

Merci pour le compliment! Comme tu peut voir, ca me prends beaucoup de temps pour trouver les bons mots! Je trouve que c'est plus facile d'ecrire en français que le parler, parce que quand j'oublie un mot je peut vérifier le dictionnaire. ;)

[acousticmind]

y'a pas d'quoi! Oui, c'est vrai que c'est beaucoup plus facile d'écrire que de parler.. en fait, ça me manque terriblement de le parler... y'a personne ici avec qui je peux parler en français... desfois je dis des choses à Bladez en français comme "espèce de chien sale" ou bien "t'es vraiment con" haha il comprend rien haha

Calgary c'est une très belle ville, très "nature" il y a une grande rivière qui passe à travers et puis les montagnes sont très proches.. Le "boarding" durant l'hiver est absolutely wicked! :)

[Two-Toe Tom]

allo acousticmind, beinvenue a GDF! :p

[acousticmind]

merci :) québecois aussi?

[Two-Toe Tom]

non, je suis err... dans toronto :S

[morea]

La chose la plus difficile pour moi c'est de me souvenir d'utiliser les accents. En anglais, il n'y en a pas, et c'est facile d'être parasseuse quand j'écris. Les temps et les modes de verbes français me semble beaucoup plus compliqué qu'en anglais, mais je pense que tout la monde qui essaye d'apprendre une nouvelle langue trouverait ça difficile.

L'Estrie est aussi belle, il y a une grande piste cyclable ici, une plage sur la rivière, et des beaux sentiers pour prendre des marches. J'aime les montagnes aussi, et quelquefois je vais à Bromont, près de Montréal pour faire du vélo de montagne. C'est super! Je fait beaucoup de vélo en été at j'apprends le ski de fond parce que l'hiver est si longue!

Si ça te manque de parler en français, je serais heureuse d'essayer de le parler avec toi. Ce n'est pas comme parler avec un vrai québecois(e), mais peut-être c'est mieux que rien! :D

Heureuse de te rencontré! J'espère que tu aimeras le forum!

[Red Kittie Kat]

I'm all for them, as long as it doesn't have any ties to Comic Sans.....


Nope it involves ties of another kind :D


and....

Si nous maintenons me parler dans français jurez que je vais commencer à parler dans le Suédois :D

ok ciao

seb


Dang! Do you happen to be a CSR? I think it's a requirement or something for them to use that font...

Anyway, I'm old. I've been ran hard and thrown back up wet a few times. Welcome 'n stuff. :p

[Bladez]

Nope it involves ties of another kind :D


Then I'm game :D

[Red Kittie Kat]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v54/RedKittieKat/smilies/giggle.gif Alright then :D

[Ben Kessler]

I don't recognize "French" as a language. I prefer a language I call "Freedom." Instead of speaking French, I just replace all words with the names of great U.S. presidents. That way, I can communicate my love of country with literally every word I speak.

Lincoln-eisenhower Graphic Design Forum, acousticmind! (Translation: Welcome to GDF!)

[Virgo Nightingale]

The French be hurtin' mah brayn...

Welcome aboard acousticmind. Please try to get Bladez to wear his pants more often. His pantslessness has been causing problems at our parties. There's a strict rule about no skinny-dipping in the vat of guacamole, and he seems hell-bent on ignoring that. :( :p

[Typically]

we want guac! we want guac!

[acousticmind]

I don't recognize "French" as a language. I prefer a language I call "Freedom."

yeah, I know that language, but surely you must know that it's evolved to a more mature form, and was renamed "pancakes"

[Jeff92]

Ahh, fellow Calgarians welcome.

And all that french is making me hungry for some French Toast..... mmmmmh with syrup and BACON!!!!

mmmmmmggggggrrrrrrhhhhhhh.....

oui, aussi heureux de faire ta connaissance.. :) et puis c'est marrant jusqu'à maintenant; ce qui me manque le plus, tu sais, c'est de sacrer en québecois... ça me manque énormément

[morea]

at least you have Bladez to practice on. ;) :D

[Bladez]

Wait....what???

[Virgo Nightingale]

Whatever it was, it was said in French. Must be romantic. ;)

[morea]

oh, you weren't wearing pants anyway, Bladez. :D

[acousticmind]

u want romantic, i'll give u romantic

TABARNAK

[Craig B]

le huh?

[morea]

oh my heavens! :o

[Red Kittie Kat]

Careful Seb ... more than just Mo knows what that means :D

[tuliptree]

we want guac! we want guac!

We want guac! We want guac!!!

Come one everyone!!

Welcome acoustic, what do you play?

And, I think I had a hand in perpetuating Bladez being pants less. I hid them after he took them off for the 9 millionth time, and they were, um disposed of by somebody else. Have you noticed him sporting an outdated acid wash look lately?

As for the French, I was very proud of myself that I pretty much could follow the majority of what you guys said (except that last thing, hmmmm), I had 3 years of French in high school (a long time ago in a galaxy far far away . . . *eyes glaze over*). I can't write it much anymore, but when I read it, I can get a pretty good idea.

By the way, here's a duck that Craig threw at me the other day. It needs a home and I am at capacity with critters right now.

Oh, and enjoy GDF!

[Virgo Nightingale]

Cripes, here's some guac!! :p

http://emilygiovanni.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/guacamole-6-07.jpg

Just keep your pantslessness away Bladez.

[tuliptree]

OM NOM NOM NOM!!!!

Ah!!!!

Me want more!! :D

[Bladez]

It's not my fault! Blame Tulip!

*inches towards the guac*

[acousticmind]

kindly keep the nasty guacamole out of my thread.

thx.

ps. i play guitar (horribly)

[Typically]

that guac looks yum to the o!

[Virgo Nightingale]

kindly keep the nasty guacamole out of my thread.
:eek: :(

[Red Kittie Kat]

Tulip... It's like our F bomb ;)

[Bladez]

Oh, now you've done it seb....first you break the comic sans rule, and now you bad mouth guac....you're going to become GDF public enemy number one at this rate hahahaha.

I may not eat guac, but I will respect it. hahahaha

[Red Kittie Kat]

all I can say is he better like bacon




:D

[Bladez]

I think that'll be his one saving grace.

[Typically]

not that candian bacon!

[Red Kittie Kat]

lmao Typ :D

[Virgo Nightingale]

Oh, now you've done it seb....first you break the comic sans rule, and now you bad mouth guac....you're going to become GDF public enemy number one at this rate hahahaha.

[Virgo Nightingale]

thank you kittie...

*HOOOONK HONK HONK*1

much appreciated...

[MD]

La langue française, comme les personnes françaises, est terrible, dégoûtant et très stinky. Savez-vous quelle quantité de mon temps a été juste gaspillé traduisant votre petite conversation canadienne secrète ? Je pourrais avoir fait quelque chose productive comme plier mes trombones dans les lutteurs minuscules. Bienvenue au forum, je devine.

[acousticmind]

ah voyons donc.. merci pour le bienvenue.

maintenant.. je dois retourner au boulot... J'ai un magazine qui doit être design. deadlines people!

ps. sorry bout the guac
pps. i like bacon, i will allow bacon in my thread.

[tuliptree]

[Bladez]

[artistsdad]

[jdjtcagle]

lol @ Tulip!

[tuliptree]

Tulip--seems more like it ought to be "talk like Tonto" day.

Wa u mean "we" Kemosabi?

*Peeks out of cave man (or woman) facade*

Am I not doing a good job being cave?

MD, I used the Googe's translator for help, what was that about trombones and tiny wrestlers?

*goes back to bad cave talk, which probably there wasn't much of really*

Ow! No pull hair!! *Snaps Bladez's coconut bra*

[Virgo Nightingale]

virgo not thinking cave person. was thinking 5-year-old. but cave do okay.

[Typically]

lard est la meilleure chose à la grâce de cette terre verte. vert et si vous n'êtes pas dans un désert ou terre verte. de lard de porc lard de porc

[Virgo Nightingale]

french have people. french have cave. so french have cave people?

It was supposed to be bending my paper clips into tiny wrestlers ... translation software is not so perfect :o

[Red Kittie Kat]

lmao Virgo love the avatar :D

I'm not sure how to go about making mine cavewomanish ... I'll have to work on that :p

[Bladez]

Ow! No pull hair!! *Snaps Bladez's coconut bra*

Ow! No coconut bra snapping!! It chafes enough as it is....

And don't worry....you'll get used to the hair pulling ;) :eek:

[Virgo Nightingale]

[Bladez]

LOL @ Kittie.

[Typically]

[Virgo Nightingale]

[Red Kittie Kat]

[Bladez]

[Typically]

daaaats niceeeee i likeeeeeee

[Red Kittie Kat]

me too :p


shhhhhh don't tell anyone :D

[frankster]

There are not many women that can look that hot in a badly sewn, inside out rabbit.

Can you really make tiny wrestlers from paperclips? Can Tulip survive the running with scissors? Will she try licking a knife or maybe putting one in a toaster next? Will Seb ever return? Can Kittie get that thing out of her nose?Ou est le baggage? Meehhh meehhhh? Tune in next week to find out!

[Red Kittie Kat]

lmaooo Frank :D

I love it :D

[frankster]

Raquel was a mother of two when that film was made. Hot lady!

[Red Kittie Kat]

yep she was ... I always thought she was one of Hollywoods prettiest :)

[acousticmind]

i have returned.

just finished giving Bladez a show in my office, it involved a banana and no gag reflex.

[Bladez]

I had to leave when he mentioned sitting on part of it.....

[Red Kittie Kat]

:eek:

[Bladez]

^^ yea....that's roughly the face he made....

[Red Kittie Kat]

And that's roughly the face I made hahahaha

[morea]

I think that this is, by far, the strangest welcome thread ever. We should design an eTrophy in its honor.

Bananas taste better cut into pieces and then dipped in peanut butter. :p

[morea]

ps, if there's going to be a new theme day, I think that it should be tomorrow, and I think that it should have its own thread. And I think that somebody should send me a reminder so I make a new avatar for it. :D

[tuliptree]

Ooooo are we going to do a cave man day? Or are you talking about a banana day? Or is it Bananas for Cave Men Day? :p

PS Love your piercing Kittie!

[Red Kittie Kat]

I like your Talk like a Caveman idea Tulip ;)

[morea]

I was referring to the cave-ish avatars that are popping up, to which I do not believe I have yet found the origin.

Tomorrow could be cave man and/or banana appreciation day, but knowing you guys, I tend to think that we'd have to censor out most of the avatars if we chose the latter.

[morea]

I like your Talk like a Caveman idea Tulip ;)

for the record, I will NOT be rewording the friday post into caveman speak. ;)

[Red Kittie Kat]

lmao Mo ... it's ok .. we wouldn't expect that :p

[morea]

last call, by the way. If anybody has any quotes in mind for the QOTW, be sure to pm them to me tonight!

[budafist]

I think that this is, by far, the strangest welcome thread ever. We should design an eTrophy in its honor.

Bananas taste better cut into pieces and then dipped in peanut butter. :p

I can't imagine dipping a soft banana into hard peanut butter. Do you have hard bananas or soft peanut sauce?

[Red Kittie Kat]

our peanut butter is rather smooth and creamy :)

[frankster]

Floppy bananas are rubbish.

[morea]

I don't keep it in the fridge, so it doesn't get too hard. You can actually spread it with a butter knife pretty easily.

[morea]

I didn't see frank's post when I posted. Now I sound like a pre-vert. :eek:

[budafist]

I think maybe the peanut butter I have is just more solid. You can dip carrot sticks in it but never something like a banana.

Mo, you are allowed perversions every now again. :)

[Red Kittie Kat]

Well .. you can always put a couple spoons in a bowl and nuke it for a sec and its becomes liquid gold :D

[budafist]

How about adding some liquid honey to the PB and then dipping the banana in it? I love honey.

[Red Kittie Kat]

mmm I love honey too ... come to think of it I need some tea .. I adore Tea with honey :)

[budafist]

I adore chicken with honey!

[acousticmind]

Floppy bananas are rubbish.

yeah the one i was playing with earlier was really floppy. rubbish indeed!

[budafist]

:eek: oh my!

[Red Kittie Kat]

yeah the one i was playing with earlier was really floppy. rubbish indeed!


Well .. if you hadn't been playing with it so hard with Bladez it wouldn't be so floppy :D

[Typically]

oh wow

[Red Kittie Kat]

What??? He crushed the banana!



:D

[acousticmind]

as much as Id like to play with my bananas today, i have a lot of work to do. Perhaps Bladez could be coaxed into coming into my office to help. trust me, he is not easily coaxed.

[Bladez]

This thread is starting to really scare me....you might say, it's scaring the pants off me!

[Virgo Nightingale]

But you'd need to be wearing pants for them to be scared off of you. ;)

[Bladez]

I always start the day out wearing pants. Half the fun of streaking is ripping the pants off. Otherwise, I'm just a nudist.

[jdjtcagle]

Haha, welcome acousticmind.

We are going to have battle of the co-workers here. Me and Psyco vs. Bladez and acousticmind.

Notice these type of welcome threads become like this :D

[acousticmind]

so what do u and psyco do? :)

me & bladez design magazines and adverts to go in the magazines aw yeh

[Bladez]

And when we're not doing that, he sits in my office eating bananas that he dips in yogurt...again, gag reflex.....

[jdjtcagle]

Magazines sound fun... I think I would love doing that.

We make brochures, business cards, fliers, posters, postcards, blah blah... for a Native American "Christian" school called Bacone that sounds alot like bacon but less tasty and more fattening :p

We are also good friends since High School and live a block away. Can't get away from that person :mad:

:D

[Bladez]

That's actually what he and I were doing the first time we worked together. Guess that means the next step for you 2 is magazines.

[acousticmind]

err designing magazines is fun. really.

[Drazan]

** dies laughing **

OMG my tummy hurts now.

[jdjtcagle]

Well, at any case. I can't stand this college anymore I do think magazines would be a step up from this place.

So if Bladez is right then WOO! :D

[Psyco]

but first we need to finish school *pokes jdjtcagle* because atm we are getting a free ride lol
