ASCII Christmas Tree contest

[General_Flaw]

It's that time of the year again! Time for merry-making, presents, and uncle Robert having too much eggnog. It's also time to show off your ASCII arting skills. Have fun! Happy holidays!

EDIT: Due to a copy & paste error, I had to delete my example. However, all that is needed to do is to make your tree, make a screenshot, and include it in your post as an attachment.

[Google]

[General_Flaw]

I only double post because I couldn't include an attachment in the edit box.

[Travis]

Nice. Good job, General. BTW, you actually can include an attachment in an edit post. Just click "Go Advanced" and that should allow you to include attachments and everything else.

[ElyCyan]

And you can all love my Picture - To - ASCII converted image:

[Walrii]

I think some of you are cheating (and on a Christmas competition of all things!) and using already made ASCII pics or automatic converters (Insane + Neo)

I don't have time, but I wanted to present you with a drawing I quickly made. I'm going to stop talking and wrap up this post. Please feel free to bow down before my leet ASCII skillz.

Very nice, everyone! High five!

For the record: I didn't see the 'Go Advanced' button at the time (thank you, Travis), I don't know the 'Code' tag so I made a screenshot, and I made my trees myself. Also, I don't think these triis will interfere with Wii gameplay. :P

Just bolding the puns for those who didn't catch the jokes. Those were nicely packaged in there, Walrii! +10'd

[Amnistar]

+10'd indeed, I approve of this message!

[Sim9]

+10 for the pun, and +10 to General_Flaw for the clever news reference ;)

Here's a small tree, with colors! :)

HA! I wish I could +10 myself for getting my own pun past you guys.

[Travis]

I wish I could -10 you for assuming I didn't catch your "packaged" pun. No, I didn't have to look back... just doing an insomniatic forums run.

Ah, like I'd -10 you anyway. It was a good pun.

[Walrii]

Thank you guys, the world needs more puns I think.

Also Insane, I don't know if you simply made a quoting mistake or what, but you missed another pun:

I don't have time, but I wanted to present you with a drawing I quickly made.

It's a picture of a present, yuck yuck yuck :)

[neozf]

Ooo presents, whats in it?
Doesn't anyone like the tree I did :(

[ElyCyan]

Also Insane, I don't know if you simply made a quoting mistake or what

Yeah, I think I deleted too much of the original post... Fruedian slip?

[General_Flaw]

Ooo presents, whats in it?

Very nice, everyone! High five!

I guess neozf doesn't count as part of 'everyone' anymore? Oh well, nice tree, neozf! Individualized high five! :P

[Travis]

Ooo presents, whats in it?

What's in it?
That's the point of the thing: not to know!

Now we take an oversized sock, and hang it - like this - on the wall...

[neozf]

Hmmm, maybe Ghengis's head is in the box. http://forums.editingarchive.com/showpost.php?p=18600&postcount=9

LOL! +10ed. Definitely +10ed.

Wow.

What a great thread.

Who is up for a revival? Or maybe a new thread with the same idea??

[neozf]

Lol. That thread was fun, but that post was one of the greatest in it :p

[Pythagora]

I agree. Hilarious. Just hilarious.

[neozf]

It was quite funny when he noticed it, Magmower didn't like it though Leaving off at this point, before Travis ruined it. :p

[Pythagora]

Hahaha!

Yeah, and I like how Travis didn't post anything else in that thread after his ending.

[Travis]

lol That's because it was done. Finished. A stark contradiction in a fictional universe is nothing to be taken lightly. Many a fictional universe have been destroyed by careless writing.

[Walrii]

Fry: Leela cried for her lost love as Fry lay dead under the heavy bookcase. The Big Brain laughed in triumph... Then, for no reason, he left Earth forever. The end. There! [He writes "Fry Trick The Brain" on the cover.] Now he's trapped in a book I wrote; a crummy world of plot holes and spelling errors. Big Brain: The Big Brain am winning again. I am the greetest! Now I am leaving Earth for no rason!

[neozf]

I remember that episode, it was a good one.

[General_Flaw]

Thread necromancy here.

Getting back to the topic, I believe it's time to declare a winner.
/me opens the envelope.
And the winner is... Walrii, by pun pwn. Hooray for Walrii! You will receive your prize as soon as I come up with one.

[neozf]

Thread necromancer!
/me stomps on General and relaxes by taking a bite out of a tasty cocofrog.

[Jarclogen]

Neo should win.

[Shadowfox]

It's not Christmas anymore, this thread should be locked the winner has been announced...yea..

[Jarclogen]

Yes close the thread.

[ElyCyan]

I am more than glad to close this thread. :p
