I just completed a once-every-three-years clean out of my NMSNM graphics scratch folder, where I keep all the graphics I've produced for the boards. The following are a few of the items therein. Ah, memories. ![](http://images.proboards.com/new/laugh.png) Filename is simply "eeeeevul.jpg". ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/misc/gfx-bo2/01.jpg) This one made me laugh. I don't recall making it. ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/misc/gfx-bo2/02.jpg) The large version of my "I Hit POM" series that featured in the smileys menu. Because I pretty much made it from scratch (in an attempt to match her existing avatar character as closely as possible), it still holds a record at one of my greatest graphic design accomplishments. ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/misc/gfx-bo2/03.jpg) IHOP and... Patrick Dempsey? I have no idea why. ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/misc/gfx-bo2/04.gif) A completely real article about snow leopards massacring a village. ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/misc/gfx-bo2/05.jpg) One of numerous graphics I made in the "DOGFOIL" series, which cataloged the ongoing strife between Frank Q and two posters Mid and Decoy, now both gone. ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/misc/gfx-bo2/06.jpg) I made this one to rile an old MSN poster named "doow". ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/misc/gfx-bo2/07.jpg) Part of my "phantom thread" prank, where the J was planning on taking over the board. ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/misc/gfx-bo2/08.jpg) From the first annual NMSNM survey. And, as it turns out, the only NMSNM survey. ![](http://images.proboards.com/new/tongue.png) ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/misc/gfx-bo2/09.png) From my shortlived "Where's Deb?" campaign to guilt the EE mods into letting DebMD back on the boards. ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/misc/gfx-bo2/10.png) And... I wanted somebody to kill me, apparently. ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/vsmileys/sarcasm.png) ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/misc/gfx-bo2/11.png) Probably the oldest image of the bunch, published on the old MSN. A monopoly board for MarketTalk. ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/misc/gfx-bo2/12.png) The old tool we had to use for moderating, before Proboards got all fancy and digital on us. ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/misc/gfx-bo2/13.png) An analysis of why POM should lose her karma, back when we had a karma system. Also the origin of the Cheesipedia entry "butt all", which means "nothing". ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/misc/gfx-bo2/14.jpg) Had no clue what this was, but the filename is "safetywitharchie.jpg". I think I made it for the thread where he was explaining how he was ripping the heating coils out of his dryer while it was still plugged in. ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/misc/gfx-bo2/15.jpg) Another old one. It has something to do with my loathing of Halloween and an old poster named Tesla. One of the only animated graphics I've ever made for the site. ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/misc/gfx-bo2/16.gif) This one I didn't create. It's an actual screenshot of the MSN news frontpage. I found it so unbelievably bad that I saved it for posterity under the filename "allthenewsfittoprint.jpg". ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/misc/gfx-bo2/17.jpg) Here we have an exceptionally rare case of Virgil flying off the handle. ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/misc/gfx-bo2/18.jpg) Wishful thinking. ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/vsmileys/melancholy.png) ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/misc/gfx-bo2/19.jpg) A glimpse into my mind. ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/misc/gfx-bo2/20.jpg) ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/misc/gfx-bo2/20.png) Still one of my all-time favourites. Lil' Lassie toilet paper! ![](http://images.proboards.com/new/laugh.png) ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/misc/gfx-bo2/21.jpg) Have no memory of making this one. It obviously has something to do with mocking a member I felt was using less-than-reliable tenant vetting practices. ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/misc/gfx-bo2/22.jpg) Made to combat a particular poster's insufferable obsession with "Lady Gaga". This was featured in the smiley panel for a while. ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/misc/gfx-bo2/23.png) I recall making this in response to Rob Base's claim that he never throws out sour cream. He took a lot of heat from posters but was adamant that sour cream could not go bad. ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/misc/gfx-bo2/24.jpg) Practical advice for practical people. ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/misc/gfx-bo2/25.jpg) One of my better anti-uncian campaign pieces. You people that don't care about the children make me sick. ![](http://images.proboards.com/new/angry.png) ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/misc/gfx-bo2/26.jpg) There are dozens of others, but they're highly context-specific, mostly in contexts that have nothing to do with EE. Hope everybody got at least one laugh. ![](http://images.proboards.com/new/wink.png)

Virgil, LOL!!! I think the funniest one you did was where you drew pictures on how P&Mers thought they looked/came across and how EEers thought they came across and how we saw ourselves. That one was hilarious! And how did I miss SL's toilet paper? I don't remember that one at all. I also loved your first Halloween Costume/prank back on old MSN. Good times and you sure have a great imagination!! ![](http://images.proboards.com/new/smiley.png)

LMAO! I remember ALL of those - and have a few of them saved to my Photobucket acct.
But I'm still not sure if you were calling me "Lassie", "Gassy", or "Assy" - or just an ass-wipe. ![](http://images.proboards.com/new/grin.png)

Virgil, this is the first time I have ever seen these. Very funny!!! Love the Monopoly board, your flying off the handle and of course Lil' Lassie!!! "Lil' Lassie" is a parody of an old Simpsons episode where Mr. Burns goes broke and then works his way back to the top with Lisa Simpson's assistance building a recycling empire. He brands his enterprise "Lil' Lisa" in honour of her. But by the end of the episode he starts "recycling" live animals. My wrong-headed neighbour, Cyril, gets the Snow Leopard Conservancy newsletter, and they're crowing about a "watershed" snow leopard conservation pact being signed by the leaders of 12 nations this week. It put me in a horrible mood, hence the thought of snow leopard cubs being turned into toilet paper--all in SL's name--was a much-needed pick-me-up. ![](http://images.proboards.com/new/laugh.png) You'll pay less than half it's worth, or else your money back. Wiping leopards off the Earth while wiping off your crack. Lil' Lassie ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/vsmileys/charmed.png)
