Mine are more like this...

That scares me. Very very much.

If people just say to me "Make me a cover" and I've got nothing to seed my imagination then I'm quite hopeless.

Frequently I see other people's covers and think "Mmm... I could tweak that" but I don't think I have that last 1% ability though that real artists have.

Thanks for the compliment though

kind of hard to "dress" for a job in construction

so, "poof! you're a cover!" doesn't work?

recluse · 10-18-2010, 01:49 AM

Considering how much butt crack you see at an average construction site, I don't really understand the problem.

It's the badge of a union worker.

kindlekitten · 10-18-2010, 01:57 AM

actually, no, it's not. butt crack seems to be fairly limited to one off trades that don't have to go onto real construction sites

oh, sometimes you can do that... but usually there's an equally big "poof" sound in your bank balance

Licensed, American electricians and plumbers?
Like my uncle. Proud IBEW Local # 3 member (sort of).
Worked on the Twin Towers.
Butt crack exposed for 50 years.

kindlekitten · 10-18-2010, 02:11 AM

whatever.... I've been doing this for 30 years in the Army and as a member of IBEW, and CWA. butt cracks just don't go very far on the job. sawdust, fiberglass, bits of tin, cut off nails and screws, whatever... end up in places like butt cracks. not to mention that here at least, you're dealing with weather that you don't want to expose skin to.

just personal experience and all

recluse · 10-18-2010, 02:20 AM

Oh, you're no fun anymore!
I never said my uncle wasn't crazy.

And, sadly, buttless. Nothing to keep up his toolbelt.

Crusader · 10-18-2010, 01:50 PM

Trying to do everything except working on the work project I need to get going on. Not in the mood for doing actual work!

Well, fortunately for you, there is MobileRead.

Yeah, and a myriad of other sites I just HAVE to refresh every 5 seconds to see what's happening!

recluse · 10-18-2010, 02:29 PM

You could go crazy doing that!
You keep expecting something interesting to happen here, but it stubbornly refuses to occur.

Hi, Pshrynk!

Miss me?
I miss me!
