That... That is absolutely fantastic. Anyway, Pat, what's this about German being completely irrelevant outside its own sphere? False. P.S. Catalonians would sooner kill every single person in Spain than let their precious language die.

Keanu Reeves? No, it just doesn't work, he is incapable of playing such a character. It's a casting disaster, really. He lacks the capacity to portray the right attitude, he just can't act like Spike Spiegel. I do not know how I could be more clear about this. And isn't this a tad dated? I...

It's easy: the Patroklos eagle is looking patriotic, whereas the Ecofarm variety is staring at you as though waiting for you to so much as flinch. But I never posted in that... Maybe another, similar thread? Oh well, not too far to work myself back up to my stupid joke. Edit: Guess it'd be...

A very cruel person changed my post count. :cry: Also tuition has gone up by about $100 per credit-hour this semester.

"Lawl" is already common enough, the kids will think of something. Also, on a more serious note, no more subjunctive. :( And to answer your fourth question: it kinda already has, if by "evolve" you mean "gorge itself on the lexicons and standards of every language it sees."

Please try and shoehorn this into as many posts as possible from now on. Especially where not appropriate.

FWIW IMO english is doomed, kthx TTYL.

Yes, and I'm guessing without a painting that isolates the after-image effect and nothing else we'll be at an impasse, but it's worth a shot. Paintings with a chiaroscuro effect going on tend to love this kind of contrast. A couple that I found on wikipedia: If you don't see it then I guess...

Give me a little time and I'll complimentary-color the hell out of you.

The concept is not foreign to any artist that knows anything about color, artists use this sort of trick all the time, as a supplement to a large variety of other techniques and tricks, all within the same painting. It may have been novel to the person that painted that piece and to you, but to...

No. Complimentary colors and the manipulation thereof are as basic as basic can get. Now it's not even a matter of "a child could do that," it's a matter of "the very concept is lame and uninspired." I will apologize for saying it so rudely, though. I didn't mean to be so mean. :(

That's a much healthier reaction than I had, you must be the most easygoing person ever. I honestly never thought of it like that, I just thought is strange and hypocritical that they would lie to me for no reason. I think I should change myself and try to see the best in people...

OH, okay. I will now read "stupid" as "mandatory" every time I see it in one of your posts. :mischief: Okay what I don't get is this: When was it that the only requirement for quality art was the premise of a given piece and nothing more? Why does this apply to visual, static art and nothing...

Never believed in Santa, but I did believe my parents were lying about it. I couldn't figure out why, until I learned they thought it was leverage. You know what else is leverage? The promise of presents. We do not need to bring a fat man into this.
