Nikster--Did you successfully used the candy nozzle I uploaded, or is that your own collage work?? Nice composition

So...
1.) What the devil are Java Droplets??? I've never seen them in supermarkets here; do you mean "Java Applets"? In that case, I think they're sugar-free, run slower than natively compiled candy, and I have to kiss Scott McNealey's behind to distribute them.

2.) What's your shipping address? And you'll split the postage, right?

Re: The Third Annual Pumpkin Carving Contest

Trader Joe's is a? grocery store chain which started in L.A. in 1958 (?) and now has spread to 19 states. Rather than dealing with heavily advertised goods, the chain has people who go around the world and send products back for tasting by their own people. After selection, they will buy up the entire production run or crop for cash and have it packaged with their own label. The end result is good to great products you won't find anywhere else and much lower prices. Since TJ's came to Santa Cruz and I started shopping there my weekly grocery bill is from 1/4 to 1/3 less than it used to be.

I'd be glad to check for Nikkie's favorites the next time I get to town but that is very irregularly lately. It won't be for a week or more that I next get to town.

But that would be after Halloween, Welles..

Does TJ's have coal for Nikkie's Christmas hosiery?

Aldi

Welles

My spouse tells me Trader Joe's was started by these two German guys, and although Liverpool, NY is in the backwash of civilization, we don't have one yet, but the guys also own and run the Aldi food chain which are peppered throughout our hamlet.

Good concept, good execution!

Re: The Third Annual Pumpkin Carving Contest

Um, dare I say, I think your spouse may be mistaken? (Of course there may be another Trader Joe's in the universe)

http://www.traderjoes.com/about/index.asp

In the brief history a little bit down the page, Joe Coulombe was the founder... I have friends in LA who knew him so that part of the story is real, I'm pretty sure...

Well, Barbara also told me that OS/2 was going to be the next big thing, and that televisions work because there are little people inside, so your evidence appears to be right

My Best,
Sleeping on the couch tonight for this remark,

Gary

Happy Halloween

There's no sound in an animated gif, so imagine Jack is saying "Happy Halloween".

It's rushed and flawed. I used Maya for the p'kin, Poser for the lip synch (the phonemes expressions), then merged them in ImageReady. 25 frames in <100K ain't bad.

Gotta scare up dinner now,

Gare
