Win Wayfriend's Money

[dANdeLION]

Thanks. The 'Mah-doubtfire' one was the easiest one to do, too. The 'Goldringer' one was the hardest; I had to remove two fingers and his gun and replace it with a white gold ring and penknife. Then adding the reflection off the ring pretty much obscured what I did. But I liked the Bond=Covenant aspect of it, and it was fun trying to learn Paintshop.

Let me add that I'm no expert on this sort of thing either. At the start, I had no idea how to do these movie poster parodies; I just clicked my way through Photoshop until I found the tools that allowed me to get the results I more or less wanted. Which was why it took me all evening to do my first one.

Congrats, dAN!

Congrats Dan.

I admit this isn't my element and my Lord of the Smurfs is to put it generously, a flop. Covenant's ring is too white and indistinct, and the name-tags are barely readable.

A great artist needs a great P-prog, and a hackjob one needs one to fit. Such are the wonders of "Paint"...

I liked it. It prompted a grin, which is much needed at anytime.
And, you entered.
...more than I can say...

I have been remiss ...

Well, I have another 500, so here goes.

This Week's Contest

Lacking any really good ideas, I propose we celebrate the US Presidential Inauguration. Tell us what you think the first three things Thomas Covenant, Linden Avery, or Lord Foul would do if elected president.

Entries are accepted until I post the winner. Entries will be judged based on humor, creativity, and how much your post doesn't look like it needs to be moved to the Think Tank.

As usual, audience participation is encouraged, necessary, and appreciated.

Linden Avery:

First) Make things worse using incomprehendable logic.
Second) Find Covenant and make him president, even if he doesn't want the job.
Third) There is no third, since she is no longer president.

Lord Foul:

First) Scheme and manipulate things behind the scenes in order to destroy the "Arch of Time."
Second) Populace wonders why the heck they elected some weirdo with flaming green eyes and a black cloak and who gibbers constantly about "white gold" to be president. Senate impeaches him.
Third) There is no third, impeached.

Covenant:

First) Whines for 4 years about how all of this isn't real.
Second) Elected for second term. Whines for 4 more years about how he doesn't want to be president.
Third) Commits some horrible act. Everyone still loves him. Spends the rest of his days hiding in oval office, insane.

First 3 things Lord Foul would do if elected US President:

3. Sign an executive order changing the names of all US citizens to "Groveler!"
2. Assemble Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi and John Roberts. Cut off the last 2 fingers of their right hands, then send them on a 'round the world tour as an example of what happens to those who dare defy him.
1. Start a new website called "FoulsCreche.com" and force all current KW members to join.

The First Three Things Linden Would Do as President:

1. Nationalize health care -- including mental health care.
2. Raise high the Staff of Law and shout, "Congress?? We don't need no stinkin' Congress!!"
3. Send Sheriff Buford to Guantanamo.

3. Send Sheriff Buford to Guantanamo.

What have you got against Sheriff Buford?

Apologies, apologies...couldn't resist. (Please don't ban me!)

The first three things (the Second Chronicles) Covenant would do as President:

1. Install Vain as White House spokesperson.
2. Make Linden the Secretary of State (who'll declare, "I'm in charge here!") while he flies over to Afghanistan on Hellfire One to personally kick Taliban butt.
3. Use the perilous One Treasury to kick start the economy.

[aliantha]

You're safe, MM -- I don't have the banstick.

[1. Install Vain as White House spokesperson.

[danlo]

Jackie Gleason as Lytton? Prefect!!! Too bad he's not around anymore...

[Vraith]

Linden Avery
1) Replaces the constitution with the Staff of Law. (hardly anyone notices)
2) Gives her son a bunch of concrete: He immediately sets to work rebuilding infrastructure
3) Resurrects all the dead presidents and turns them loose on the world.

[wayfriend]

And the winner is ...
