Yearly Archives: 2013

Still having trouble loading pix using satellite internet, but please check the original post for this week's entries and winner. All the entries were very creative but I gotta give the win to Keith Kanin's hilarious take on the throne of swords. Brilliant! Congratulations!

Your challenge this week is to create a wildly fanciful and elaborate toilet!

You only get one entry so be creative, and above all else, have fun!

 All entries must be in JPG or PNG form (BMPs are too big), posted to a publicly accessible website (like the HeroMachine forums,ImageShack, PhotoBucket, or whatever);

Entries must be made as a comment or comments to this post, containing a link directly to the image and the character name;

• The image must be new and designed specifically for the Pop Quiz;
• Please name your files as [your name]-[character name].[file extension] before you upload it. So DiCicatriz, for instance, would save his “Bayou Belle” character image as DiCicatriz-BayouBelle.png.
• Please make the link go directly to the image (like this) and not to a hosting jump page (like this). See this post on how to get the direct link for most sites.

This challenge will close at 9:00am Eastern on Sunday July 28^th.

Trivia:

Developed a theory that the attractiveness of clothing on women is not really dependent on the amount of skin shown - rather, it depends on the degree to which the outfit appears to be on the verge of falling off.  The "Theiss Titillation Theory"—which claims that "the degree to which a costume is considered sexy is directly proportional to how accident-prone it appears to be"—is named after him. A key example of this idea in practice is the female android costume in the Star Trek episode "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" in which the revealing top portion consists only of two crossing straps of material that connect in one piece to trousers, and—Theiss's personal favorite—the gown featured in the episode "Who Mourns for Adonais?": a backless dress in which the front of the dress was held up by the weight of the train which fell over the shoulder to the floor.

I'm in a Star Wars mood today, so I thought todays Big Question should reflect that. Therefore, my question today is, what would you like to see in the up coming new trilogy? Any characters you would like to see included? Any expanded universe books/ comics you would like to see bits included from? Any places that should be visited? Basically put yourself in the drivers set of the new movies and let rip (not in that sense, in the less dirty sense thank you).
