# Happy Festive Ningles b3ta!
Eduard Khil's Haircut was back to form with some lovely 'research' on Eva Robin's (providing you never scroll down on a picture of her/him).
This was followed by RedHouse asking for Michael (why the fuck don't you open your eyes) Clarke Duncan and Fionnula Flanagan.
And finally, Drunken Miss Hosanna in Excelsis got the dead persons birthday right with Una Merkel.

# They were all old school death metal.
IMHO the best thing they did was a rework of one of their first albums: In The Times Before The Light was a concept piece entirely narrated by a dragon lamenting over lost youth. The update added a dark carnival esthetic to what was once a bit more dour: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkpJHHaHXRY&feature=related

Edit: and by "they were" I meant "they used to be, before they found all of these lovely gadgets"

And the best bit is:
Make me frozen, cold as ice

Make me chilled, as white as snow
I give to thee my lonely soul
Hear my longing, hear my cry
I give to thee my empty mind
Cast your winds upon my wings
I give to thee my hollow heart

He makes the shite and then asks for request for more shite, people make shite suggestions, and feel somehow touched and special that shite is created for them according to their shite suggestion, this in turns justifies the need for more shite and thus a supply and demand is created for an endless spiral of shite.

I could post shite all day long and all week long but it's not going to make me popular with fellow b3tards - so for me it's about quality over quantity for example I will shamelessly pea this one out


not because it was overlooked - it wasn't I got good replies and it was on popular page for a good while - but because it illustrates that I made an effort and took the time to make something that i think is funny and original in my own madcap way.

wishes all the ones who are giving you so much grief would spend their ire more productively by criticising the million and one freebase pics and other mind numbingly boring headswaps that fill this board and get greeted with enthusiastic, autistic hand flapping, instead of picking on your one morning post.

i don't care whether it has artistic merit, great technical skill or not, your pics and Flea's terrible joke have become a nice daily ritual that gives me joy to see of a morning

I don't mind the Freebases. Some even make me laugh out loud, as they're more unpredictable when they turn up in surprising pictures or circumstances.
Naturally, they would be more unpredictable if the meme doesn't get used quite so often.
