I hope it stays... but our service provider is claiming this layout causes issues and they want us to upgrade out service to $466.00 dollars.... :(  I can't figure out why this is causing any issues.

What is stupid is our site uses less than 1% of the resources they offer.  But something in this skin is causing something called "faults" which for a .001th of a second uses up 100% resources then drops to 1% again.  This happens maybe 4 times a day and I don't know why.

Because of this, they say we need to upgrade our service.... despite not using 1% of the resources 99.99% of the time!!!  I can't spend $466.00 dollars more for this site every 30 months.

Yeah ask them to elaborate on what these problems are. Because if it isn't necessary don't fall for it. It sounds like they're trying to scam you.

I have officially stopped commenting on artists who don't post on other artists works here (or even just other art threads).  They post their art, expect comments, but never comment on other people when they post art.  PSF has tons of great original artists who always comment on other people's art, but a lot of newer artists never EVER comment on their art.  So I am not going to comment on these new artists.  Join me until they wake up.

LOL, weird maybe, but I think it's cool. It brought a grin to my face when I looked at it (right after getting up this morning), and I can really do with some fun right now.  ^b-

"Sweet googly moogly"

With both "good" and "great" variants, the phrase has a long and storied origin, and one in much dispute, but I know I've heard it in a film clip from a John Boy and Billy Big Show bumper a couple times. [think]


I'm sure that graphic is a Ponified variant of something-- something... familiar.  Maybe a villain from a Disney or Pixar movie?  It has a rather bloated, toadlike quality, and weirdly I can imagine it speaking in a "ghettofab" voice

OK, so I'll pick up the question @Kiwi asked in the "How many times..." thread if Halloween is celebrated in other countries.
I can still remember when I learnt about Halloween for the very first time. I was about 10 or 11, and I was reading the German translation of an American children's novel: "Jennifer, Hecate, Macbeth, William McKinley, and me, Elizabeth" by E. L. Konigsburg. I was amazed to read about the custom of children dressing like witches etc, going to their neighbour's houses asking for candy, because it's so similar to a German custom being practiced in the regions that are mainly Catholic (like mine) on the evening of St. Martin's Day which is on November 111th: After the procession carrying lanterns and singing St.-Martin-songs, children go to the houses in their neighbourhood singing songs and showing off their colourful lanterns (mostly self-made) and get some candy in return. (I loved that as a kid, although I was a bit shy about the singing!) We didn't play any tricks, though - that's not part of the custom.  ;) When people don't open the door or don't give anything, nothing happens. Most people are generous, though.
Anyway, as a kid I thought it was interesting to read about an American custom that was so similar to something I grew up with, and yet so different.
Apart from that book, I never heard anything about Halloween.

Many years passed, and little by little, Halloween started becoming popular in Germany - mostly for commercial reasons, I think; I'm sure most people here don't have a clue about the meaning. Some time ago (in the 1990s, I think), a friend of my parents, an Irishman living in our town, threw a big Halloween party for his friends and coworkers. I wasn't there myself, but I remember my mom told me it was fun listening to that Irish friend's explanation what Halloween was actually about, the whole story behind it, with Stingy Jack etc. I think that was a whole new world to all the people there.

Fast forward several more years - it must have been around 2004 or 2005 when I had a cute and fun Halloween experience: At that time, I was living in a rather big apartment building where I hardly knew any of the neighbours. One night the doorbell rang, I opened, and there was a little girl (maybe 7 or 8 years old) dressed like a witch. At that moment I realized it was Halloween, LOL! The little witch said, "Give me some candy! Or I'll... uhhhmm... uhhm... I'll send SPIDERS to your house!"
She was so adorable!!  ;D I loved the way she was actually playing the role of a real witch, having magical powers, so I went along with it and gasped in shock, " Eewwww, noooo, please, no spiders! I'll better give you some candy then!" And I did, of course.

Again, some years later, the Halloween industry had established itself here, and I heard some people complain about ill-mannered kids demanding treats and creating a mess if they didn't get anything. (BTW, the German version of "A trick or a treat" is "Süßes oder Saures", which means "Something sweet or something sour".)
I live in a different apartment building now, where no kids come around asking for something sweet, or singing songs on St. Martin's Day. But I still like the memory of my encounter with the little witch who spared me the spiders' curse!  ;)
