See, ya problem there is a good motivational poster needs to be about a value, not an object. Like a poster with 'Consistency' will aim to encourage you to be consistent, or 'Practice' will aim to make you practice more. obviously these can be parodied but putting 'Paramites' is a bit of a dead end.

Still, I guess I can hardly talk when this is about as good as I can manage...

(I was gonna get a screenshot of Abe being zapped his first handscar, but I was too lazy, and I had this lying around from a discussion about Abe's Moon).

EDIT: Dang it; that should be 'but'. How did I fail to notice that?!

God I remember this thread, mine where mostly raping elum jokes hmmm =\

It's weird that this idea's come round again, something to do with Eddies in the space time continuum I think. My favorite's the Paramites one anyway, nice work!

I also remember there was debate about what a motivational poster was.

Carnix (who started the last thread, I believe) wanted internet meme posters, whereas others posted motivational posters in the sense of "Hang in there kitty!".

Actually; it was me who created the thread, AlexFili not quite understanding what we meant by a motovational poster, me trying to explain, Carnix arguing on one side, Molluck's Assistant on the other, and AlexFili eventually giving up and making peace - while still slightly missing the point.

Yes, I remember it as if it was yesterday. The failure of one of my first threads is still seared into my memory.

I believe I stepped in, told everyone to stop arguing and start posting motivational posters and then faded subtly back into the wallpaper. To be honest, I probably would have missed the point of the whole meme if the headmistress of my high school hadn't had the real things stuck up in every corridor.

I feel horrible that you forgot me! I added so much to that thread it caused me to bleed fro my left ear repeatedly! Maybe I'll have to post more here?

Lord Stanley 07-01-2010 12:56 PM

These are funny, but now we've digressed into arguing over who did what in the last thread of this sort...

Splat 07-01-2010 12:58 PM

Well said. Lets just post a link to the old thread and move on.
