Yeah, no. 800 is mine!!!!

We miss all sorts of interesting things around here if we blink.

I must've blunk. What's news in Dullsville? ;)

(OOPS! Just did it again!)

Welcome back, Beethoven. I wouldn't say that everything has been dull - seen as a whole the threads in the cafe are a little introspective at present, though.

Congrats Beets, you are UOTD!!!!

And good morning to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I'm waiting for Mundayweb to get the xml's from LHC and Beta, so my stats sig gets updated, because

I have my 100,000 milestone these days!






Yay! 100,000 cobblestones from me now!

Sorry to steal your thunder Beets, but this is a big day for me too. :-D

Good morning Fuzzy, Champ, Michael, Mike, Chris, Claudette and everyone else!


Who, moi? L'il old me, UOTD?

Cool!

Thanks for the congrats, everyone!!!


So you can celebrate with me, we're going fancy for breakfast today... Eggs Benedict Maritime: lightly poached egg over fried ham and BBQd crab, covered with bearnaise sauce and coarse cracked pepper, and topped with steamed asparagus.


Enjoy!

That picture makes the Eggs Benedict look very scrumptous...just like you see the food pictured on a restaurant menu. However, it usually transpires, at least in America, when you order it and what you get are two different things...compared to the picture on the menu, the plate in front of you usually looks like road kill has been deposited on it.

And as always I was the last to find out. :)

They always save the best till last. :-)

someone get that man a cyberdrink and quick!

Then you better offer a drink to Siran and Jaaku, and others of the automods, who don't even know they are mods.

Jaaku? Wow there's a name from the distant past. Didn't he do space art?

Uh huh. It was pretty good actually. Makes me think of another guy who had made some art. You and Carl Cuseo had your fun with him, that was the first of your posts I ever read in the cafe back then. :-D

Hopefully you mean "having fun" and not "making fun". I thought his artwork was cool. I think he needs an invite to come back. :)

No, not Jaaku, the other guy. I'll try to find that thread, if not it has been deleted in the delete-fest someone has had.

You and Carl were so funny. I'm giggling of the thought.

I found the thread, the very first thread I ever read in the cafe. I read in NC at that time, and I followed a link to this thread in a post.

What I laughed of was this conversation:

Misfit:

> want to buy a print, eh? ;p

Fantastic! I dont know how you guys do that. I have trouble drawing a stick figure in MS Paint. :)

Carl Cuseo:
Seven months- big deal
I'm self taught- I use PAINT and I've been making art for seven minutes....cc

Misfit:
How did you do that??

Carl Cuseo:
> How did you do that??

1. create masterpiece
2. upload to free photo host (I use photobucket)
3. copy tag into forum message box
4. bask in heaped admiration

Misfit:
> 1. create masterpiece
See thats where I get stuck. The other 3 steps are easy.



So, Misfit, has your skills improved since then? :-P LOL

OMG ... i remember that :D ... i have improved a little since then with 250 people favoriting one of my pictures as well as one being showed on the front page.
As far as i know j4m3sb0nd no longer runs Seti but still does Space-art which still amazes me, he has succeded alot on Deviant art becoming a Senior Member. http://j4m3sb0nd.deviantart.com/, i will get in contact with him and get him to come and say a few things :)
