46. Don't post an America flag unless you want a bunch of 1s and 2s.

Wonderful read....

Well done, you hit reality on the head!

47. Do not submit a picture of a figurine/nic-nac/toy. Legos, matchbox cars, and Barbies rarely score well. The exceptions to this rule are woodies and rubber duckies.

Man, I should listen to that song more often. Kinda helps ya get back on track with the important things in life, which I have been neglecting of late.

29. Before you start a thread asking âWhat is thisâ¦?â type "google.com" into your address bar and use that search engine to find out what it is for yourself. Thatâs what everybody else does whenever someone starts a thread asking âWhat is this?â.

Brilliant!

26. a. When you get a critique from a critique club member check the comment helpful (even if you disagree with it) as this may be the only way the person who spent at least a half an hour examining and writing about your image will know you even read the comment.

Looks like this would be a good start to a Tutorial!

Can we refer to the rule numbers, when posting and commenting?
04/07/2006 10:02:36 AM · #39
Excelent!!! Should be in the Tutorial Section!!!
04/07/2006 10:08:24 AM · #40
Excellent and so true.

You may want to combine the DPC'ers Prayer in there somewhere!
:-)

Rule #24 just cracks me up! :D

Well done!

Absolutely wonderful and inspired writing. Truly a masterpiece! Thanks for posting this.

Whew...glad it was well received. Thanks everyone. Even a reply from langdon. I feel so honored!

I was afraid I'd wake up this morning in the Rant section. Hopefully the newbies will realize that this is almost purely autobiographical and tongue-in-cheek. It didn't really take long, since it was a constant purge of things I hold back every time I log on.

Love the appendixes. Please continue to add to this.

Cheers,
Roxanne

A little wine; but I was mostly too busy typing to pick up the glass.

WTG, Roxanne - you're a DPC pro!!!

I agree that this, together with the DPC Prayer, should be presented to newcomers.
04/07/2006 10:40:57 AM · #47
Great Job, Excellent, LOL, and very creative.

Just a little trivia about this song. It was actually an article written by a columnist for the Chicago Tribune. It became popular as an email that made the Internet rounds saying it was Kurt Vonnegut's key note speech at a Harvard graduation (or some other Ivy League school, I can't remember which one). Baz turned it into a song and sealed its place in music history.

As for your article greatandsmall - OUTSTANDING!!! You get a 10 and immediate Fav from me!! :-)

This is a riot. I was rolling on the floor by the time I reached rule #3. By the end, I was trying not to piss myself.

They ought to give you a special ribbon for writing this!

Very good stuff. A second vote to sticky this in General Discussion.

I'm off to start a new thread about why my image that is currently in voting is doing so poorly. I will naturally post the original unedited as well as the submission full size in the thread as well as a couple of outtakes.

REALLY. SERIOUSLY!

I'm gonna do it. Now.

Ok, NOW.

or not.

Great work and thanks for the effort!

PS, I also thought of the f11 suggestion. What a great way to view those super-stunning pictures in the textures section.

WOO.
