SteveMB, I am glad you put up the link to your Erfworld demotivation posters, since I was about to do a "All your base..." one myself. But seeing yours, I am glad I didn't because yours looks much better.

Good vs. Evil, the original title of this one was going to be Public Relations, but I though Spin fit a bit better.

If you come up with a different spin on the meme, that's not really a problem -- the "base hex" twist just hit me when I saw the AYB xkcd strip, and then it just had to be done.

This line of conversation does seem very thread-appropriate... Now we just need to set the quotes to some Erf panels and we'll be all set.

Exactly which panel did you have in mind? Most of the Parson-at-the-table shots aren't blown up yet, and have too much text to look right as demotivators by themselves. Unless the quotes go in the text balloons, which I've found can be tricky...

Anyhow, I went with a Jillian action collage instead - after all, she really is a barbarian. And a real badboop with an unrealistically oversized weapon, too.

Yeah, picking out the right font is an interesting exercise in style and formatting. (Nice choice on yours, BTW.) I did "Barbarian" using Warmonger and ManEater, both from Blambot.

I'm fairly certain she meant the "For an opener." panel.

Thanks. I'd been planning to use a similar set of panels with different text:

Jillian Zamussels
She's a 9. And your girlfriend's a 2.

But I think this works better for now. Maybe when we get a blow-up of the "and your girlfriend's a 2" panel...

Yes, I thought about that one. I just don't think the expression on Parson's face is enough to evoke the "Conan" quote by itself. Needs More Action. And Jillian doesn't disappoint. But anyone can try it if they disagree with me, of course.

No problem. If you're just having trouble with a language, I don't mind. It's native speakers who annoy the crap out of me.
