I don't want to intrude on jack any more than we already have I will start posting stuff on the funny farm thread.

Do any of you have Rich's email?

You guys are always absolutely welcome here... We just don't do squads. As I said earlier, no one has ever managed to get their squad locked up b4, so I made an exception. I'm not mad at all about it.

I hope you guys get it all straightened out and back on track.

I sent an e-mail to Richy, asking him if it is ok giving his address to all of you who asks for it.
Just wait until he answer me.
I am going to bed. Good night, folks!

Totally understand. I just thought I'd provide temporary housing that can either be sold to help rebuild the Loony Bin, or improved to become permanent housing. Do as you want with it. It's a gift

For what it's worth, when Richy came up with the Loonie Bin squad, I thought it was brilliant and told him so. At the time, between LB and Enjoy, I thought two terrific groups were about to form.

One thought for you Loonies. Do you really need a head loon? Don't the "inmates run the asylum"? A few simple up-front decisions by you guys on where your clubhouse will be, and I think you're in business.

At least it would be an interesting experiment. Actually, Inmates Running the Asylum is supposed to be a derogatory phrase, and nobody in their right minds would EVER do that!

WHERE'S ME RUM?

Any chance of firing up the old barbecue tonight Jack ?

After this weekend, could just do with some fine ale and a bite to eat

Boy it's definitely BBQ season. Here in the UK it's just too hot! I suffered a heat stroke today. Blacked out in the sun

Jacob, you are our staff liquor expert, remember? Tell me what kind of rum to buy and I'll order several cases. I'd love to fire up the BBQ tonight. If we can get either Parrot or Big Tex to run the pit tonight, that'd be awesome. If not, then I'll do my best. Last but not least, Mr Sauce, you aren't supposed to cook yourself sir, even if you are named after a favorite ingredient. Have a few extra Gatorades on me.

I'm 4th of July/Wedding/regular partied out. Hate to say it I'm getting old. I'll just have one and sit in the corner please.

Found some duck breasts marinated in orange and ginger at the back of the fridge !

Will that do for starters ?

Today, I went mountain biking, a 40 mile trip, and I was dead at the end of it, but the highlight was the fresh blackberries, at this time of year, the wild blackberries are ripe, and they are everywhere.

We just picked em off the bush and ate them. Fresh and pesticide free. Any of you good at making blackberry pie?

Mmmm I like duck

I love wild blackberries. They sure can be rough to pick though.

I feel ya. Instead of driving 2500 miles per week like I do at work, I drove 3000. Oh well. I had a great week.

Remember? Don't you think that's a lot to ask...considering my condition? Ahem!

Anyways...to the rum...I'm feeling cheap so let's have some Admiral Nelson's finest.

This one was a trail in pocohantas state park (did I spell that right?) although, I sometimes do ones around lakes near Charlottesville.

Cool, that's not too far from me. I'm always on the lookout for trails, I may have to hit that one up

I posted it on Funny Farm thread, but here it goes again:

Ped... One of these days when everything settles down, I'd love to be the subject of one of your cartoons. A Jackalope in front of a run down bar with a rusty ship out back and a few planes parked out front...

Anyway, it doesn't hurt to ask. Your work looks professional to me. I am surprised that you don't do that for a living.

I make some money from my sketches. I used to make drawings for CD cases, book covers and magazines, when I was single. But when I got "old", and was about to get married, I needed some stability (with drawing you can make good monye, but you never knows how it will be the next month...).

I work in the City Council Chamber, what pays the milk for Laura. But I still make some cartoons for newspapers.

About making you a drawing, I won't promise it. What if everybody in the forum asks me so? I don't have time for it. And I can't charge you for this, so if I make some drawings, it need to be for free.

But considering the fact that I already drunk soooooo many bottles of alcohol-free-beer on your bar (not mentioning that night I spent locked inside it, do you remember?), I will find some free time and make you a sketch. Give me some directions via PM.

Edit: Leaving and LEARNING... I've never heard of "Jackalope" before. And I always thought that your nick was Jackipe, with an "i" instead of an "L". And only now I saw that your avatar have a jackrabitt with antilope horns (jack + lope... geez!).
I am makine some research on the net about this folkloric personage.

Ped if you get a chance look up "bounden" its a Pixar short film it have a very good refrence to the great American jackalope

I am "getting" it right now...
Thanks, Jason!

I was surfing youtube, and I found this amazing group of videos, called people are awesome, if you like this video, look up one like it.

I only ask because it doesn't hurt to ask. If you would rather not, don't sweat it. I'm sure it's time consuming. But, I do really like your artwork.

Yes jack i agree ped is a very talented man. Every time i look at one of his banners i see something new like today i just saw the ever elusive tv. Roo must have hid it upstairs and only after he destroyed the place with is fat thumb was it visible. Lol

Jacklpe wrote: If you would rather not, don't sweat it. I'm sure it's time consuming.

I will make it, Jack, I was only preventing people to ask "make one for me" every single day. It happened on a brazilian forum two years ago, and I regreated promising it to many members... lol

Just wait some days. It will be a pleasure!


Edit: Quoting your request, Jack: "A Jackalope in front of a run down bar with a rusty ship out back and a few planes parked out front."

Jackalop - check;
rusty ship out back - check;
few planes parked out front - check;

The only part I didn't get was the "run down bar"... Tried google-translating it, no success. What means "run down"?

Edit 2: Thanks Blue Dane, for explaining what "run down" means: old, tired, in need of repair...

Hey ped "make one for me" has to be descriptive of a Noushbag, you know, handsome,muscular and charming aaaww heck,never mind, Sonny said he would scribble somefin out with his crayons

Honestly, it took a little nerve to ask you to do it, but that's just how much I like your cartoons. Thanks for agreeing to do it, and I really hope I didn't open Pandora's box by asking you to do so...

Hey Jack, I had posted a pic of you ways back HERE but think you might have missed it
