lol, thanks for the kudos Chutney and Yinka Dare. I still need help making my sig for Dynasty warrior, because I don't have photoshop and need to make Paul Pierce a blue colour. Here is what I posted in the Graphics forum. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Lavalamp @ Jun 20 2008, 05:25 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>I'm wondering if someone could make me a sig for DynastyWarrior to wear for a month, because he lost a sig bet. I want to use this pic. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/graphics/...uobasket118.jpg with Pierce tinted blue (I only have paint and it can't do that). And with text saying something like Pierce is so damn smurfing great! Pierce is smurftastic! Pierce smurfing pwns Kobe! You can add smurfs in the background if you want too lol.</div> I'd be fine if someone just tinted Pierce blue in that picture then I could do the rest.

Anyone listen to Acid Mothers Temple? I was just wikisearching through bands and they looked intriguing.
It's sad that sites like this http://www.wewillattack.com/ and this http://www.popcornpainting.com/ can keep me occupied for a good 5 minutes.
