It´s good old Ahmed and good old Dan...you like it? Smile

Here is another one, made at the mugu meeting

Ahmed, Dan and good old Dully. Who is more motivated to grin?

The top one Smile

nice work

Posted: Thu May 29, 2008 12:51 pm

Yep, I think I like the top one too, not a moment too soon either, I enjoy the comments from the visitors in my office and many of them were concerned about next month not being there.

Nice work Frumpy Laughing

I like the second one.

We're still a few days away from June. This month was going to be an avatar special, but after Frumpy asked me if he could do the June one, it can wait another month. I especially love the first one.

Finey

it is nice and peculiar at the same time to know that my first stumbling around with anything like making a calendar leaf, using my special investor-seeking friend, is being smiled at in Australia now Very Happy

(I should have included his "business email" on the sign! He might have pirate potential arrrrrrgh Very Happy

)

Sorry Frumpy, right now most of them are asleep Laughing

, tomorrow there will be smiling Wink

I had a play with the first picture and came up with this version. It's almost the same as Frumpy's but not quite.

Jumbo version can be grabbed from HERE

He looks so happy to be on the calander. Nice job Frumpy & Wayne.

I believe his smile got even broader now Very Happy

btw that was my first sign pic. after 10 months here (so much for patience is a virtue...) Razz

Nicely done Frumpy. I like the first one. There is something about his silly happy grin that makes me smile knowing it hides the tears of a baited scammer.

great Baiting Frumpy

Posted: Thu May 29, 2008 11:00 pm

Love it!

I like the first one and Wayne's redo of the picture looks good.

Great work Frumpy and Wayne. Thumbs up

I too, prefer the smiley mugu. Don't you just want to pinch his cheeks (with a pair of vice grips Twisted Evil

)?

He looks so happy, guess he is just thinkin' about the big juicy MTCN you're emailing him right now, huh Frump?

Well secretary had asked him if it would not be a nice idea to hold a well-wishing sign to the then-seriously ill doctor (who died afterwards, thus giving way to inheritance modalities...). Before he had sent him a check (which Stan Laurel, his assistant, "lost") .Hence the frog smile, hoping for the next "big juicy one" after a speedy recovery (alas, he died).

Original story was here
(The Yuku forum, when the Eater was down; you´d have to register first, sorry for the inconvenience)
and here (calendar version 2, which found less applause here but that was my baiting zenith moment Very Happy

)

I have this fresh one come in. I'm still doing the beer and egg thing. I can't tell for sure if it is a hack or not, but they did go to some effort

It's a fake. Just check out where the jawline meets the neck. Plus her face is a different shade than the rest of her. Plus the head is too far to the (our) right. But yeah, it took a lot more than minimum effort to make that for you so well done Very Happy

Posted: Fri Jun 06, 2008 11:17 pm

Too bad it is, but I like it Very Happy

it is a nice effort, and the beer brand is intriguing Question

hmmm...
I know all about thje egg brand Smile

but what might that beer brand be?
I have found "Baltika 6" here...right brand I guess, Latin alphabet variety but blue label and wrong percentage of alcohol?

EDIT And this is the green & kyrillic "2" version : http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2191/1771510710_1a58d4c0d1.jpg?v=0
Still haven´t found her bottle.
And here is the "7" version, in a barrel, nic eprice BTW http://farm1.static.flickr.com/95/275043939_5c4ca86fe4.jpg?v=0

I give up now. They would not have photoshopped the beer label on the photo?!? Laughing

Posted: Fri Jun 06, 2008 11:24 pm

It's good to see the amount of effort put forth. It is a better than usual chop job.
Notice the lighting on her hair and eyes is originating from above while the lighting her body and egg is coming from her right. Inconsistent lighting angles is a good tip off to chop jobs.

Posted: Fri Jun 06, 2008 11:27 pm

Thanks guys for the confirmation.

Baltika is a very common Russian beer. The next one I might ask for a different brand, at least then they will have to shop around for it. Evil or Very Mad

Posted: Fri Jun 06, 2008 11:37 pm

Ask her for "Baltika 9 1/2" then Laughing

I have been browsing several beer blogs to find her bottle. That^^label must be photoshopped Wink

EDIT Wikipedia knows ´em all :

Quote:

* Baltika No. 0 is a non-alcoholic beer made from light barley malt.
* Baltika 1 (Light) at 4.4% abv, is characterized by "light colour and...malt and hops taste."
* Baltika 2 (Pale Beer) is a lager brewed from pale barley malt, rice, and "exclusive varieties of hops."
* Baltika 3 is a 5.1% pale lager. This is also known as Klassicheskoe (Classic).
* Baltika 4 is a 5.6% amber coloured lager brewed from caramel and rye malts. Such coloured lagers are often termed Vienna. This is also known as Originalnoe (Original).
* Baltika 5 (Gold Beer) is a 5.0% lager brewed with both pale and caramel malts.
* Baltika 6 is a bottom fermented 7% dark beer that the brewery classes as a porter "brewed according to traditional English recipes." Such strong dark lagers are often termed Baltic porters.
* Baltika 7 (Export Beer) is a 5.4 % pale lager
* Baltika 8 (Pshenichnoe) is an unfiltered wheat ale (Alc. 5,0% vol.).
* Baltika 9 (Krepkoe) is a strong lager (8-10% alcohol).
* Baltika 10 (Jubilee) is a 5.2% alcohol beer.

And here is the baby, luckily for me the Baltika website is in English : http://eng.baltika.ru/brand/0/3/10/3_classic.html
@ Wayne, the picture cannot be photoshopped, as you can clearly see the beer exists Very Happy

Now let´s find the hen who laid that egg.

Posted: Fri Jun 06, 2008 11:57 pm

I don't know too much about the numbers, but the last time I was in Russia, they had a few different alcohol levels and this is no BS

8.5%, 11.5%, 13.5% and get this one which was 17.5% - Tried that once - hiccup!
