Request for further dancing madness ...

[TomJoe]

... :potato:

[livius drusus]

Ya couldn't have added this to yesterday's thread? Sheesh.

[TomJoe]

I's special.

[Skep]

It's getting to the point where we're gonna need a new category -- Dancing Produce. :popcorn:

[livius drusus]

Anyone ever tell you you're a damn genius, Skep?

[Crumb]

You're a damn genius, Skep.

[Skep]

Only with a shitload of sarcasm. :D

[Crumb]

I'm hurt.

[Skep]

Awww, poor Crumb. I was replying to liv and you posted at the same time. :pat:

[Crumb]

I know. :wink:

[JoeP]

:angro: :turnip: :broccolo: :carrot: :cucumber: :pepper: :caramba: :broccolo:

:angrynana: :hotmoves: :saloon: :banana2: :banana: :pbjnana:

What's missing? Bananas are inherently amusing. And broccoli too. Dancing apples just wouldn't be the same.

I think we need a dancing pineapple.

[Ymir's blood]

A dancing pineapple with a slow burning fuse. When the fuse runs down... :explode2:

[TomJoe]

I think we could stand to have the following:

Cabbage, Celery, Cherry, Orange, Potato, Raspberry.

[Skep]

I have a dancing tomater http://skeptech.net/emotipad/cache/DancingTomato.gif and these beer drinking bananas. http://skeptech.net/emotipad/cache/BananaCheers.gif

[livius drusus]

I hate that tomato. It's hideous. Never post it here again. That is all.

[Skep]

:yessir:



I'm not particularly fond of the fucker myself.

[JoeP]

A tomato with more style could be a useful addition. Especially coupled with a potato. You say :danctomat:, I say :dancpotat:.

[JoeP]

I think we could stand to have the following:

Cabbage, Celery, Cherry, Orange, Potato, Raspberry.
All good ... except ... cabbage? I would only go for that if it had a fur hat and a bottle of vodka.

[JoeP]

Wow. That twist had not occurred to me - and it makes no sense at all - but it's strangely appealing.

Hey, what about a dancing hand-grenade? Liiiiv, I said what about a dancing hand-grenade?

[livius drusus]

Oy vey. :rock2:

I goofed ... meant cauliflower. For some reason I was thinking about sauerkraut at the time I wrote that post.

Oooooh, ooooh, and the grenade is happily dancing around and the pin falls out and then he scrambles around for it and then he finds it and just before he puts it back in, he 'splodes. That would be funny. :D

[JoeP]

Oy vey. :rock2:
I'll take that as I wish you hadn't asked, but I'll get onto it. Without waiting until I finish the rumoured lisarea smilie.

Oh, and after the smoke clears, he's standing there, all black, with a disgruntled look on his face, holding the pin 2 pixels away from being replaced. That would be even funnier. :D

[Crumb]

The grenade sounds :qex: !

JoeP forgot the dancing onion: :dancing:

[Corona688]

I gotcher dancing tomater right here: http://burningsmell.org/tomatodance.gif I couldn't add the hands without making it a huge smiley, and it's roundness makes up for that anyway.

[livius drusus]

That's a mighty fine 'mater, Corona, but I think you really have to add the arms, huge or not. Otherwise it just doesn't make the set, you know?

Besides, I made that gigantic resistance is futile dancing banana that bey's been spamming all over the arcade distoring the high scores pages. Your tomato couldn't possibly be as bad as all that.

[Ensign Steve]

I'm way too lazy to quote everybody, especially without quote hack, so y'all are just going to have to guess wtf I'm talking about.

1. The nanas never actually drink the beer. That bothers me.
2. I like the first tomato. Then again, I'm a softie for differently-abled smilies. :jd:
3. The "dancing" keyword should bring up Resistance is Futile.
4. I forgot what #4 was.
5. liv's rock makes me think we need a Sisyphus smilie.
6. Also a dancing hot dog in a bun.

[Crumb]

We need a dancing :jd:

[livius drusus]

The "dancing" keyword should bring up Resistance is Futile.

Done.

[Ensign Steve]

We need a dancing :jd:

I was totally just fucking thinking that! :eek: I swear in the other thread I just said that I was thinking about animating her. Weird!

[Crumb]

:hypno:

[Skep]

6. Also a dancing hot dog in a bun.
Then we'll totally need a dancing hamburger. And a dancing order of fries. And a dancing coke. Maybe even a dancing onion ring. :popcorn:

[Crumb]

Yeah Skep, down with produce, bring on the junk food! (maybe a dancing corn cob would be nice though...)

[Skep]

Yeah, dripping with butter.

[Crumb]

Maybe it can be an ear of corn stripper. :)

[Corona688]

Besides, I made that gigantic resistance is futile dancing banana that bey's been spamming all over the arcade distoring the high scores pages. Your tomato couldn't possibly be as bad as all that. Don't kid with me. I've complied with your request and it's a whole FOUR PIXELS WIDER NOW! See what liv hath wrought? http://burningsmell.org/tomatodance.gif

Actually yeah, that is better. I left out the arms though, they interfered with the round-ed-ness.

[JoeP]

The grenade sounds :qex: !

JoeP forgot the dancing onion: :dancing:I did not forget it. I excluded it on the basis of its being pathetic, stupid and unconvincing. Not to mention blind.

[JoeP]

6. Also a dancing hot dog in a bun.Seconded.
(maybe a dancing corn cob would be nice though...)Seconded.

[livius drusus]

Actually yeah, that is better. I left out the arms though, they interfered with the round-ed-ness.

But now it's non-standard! The compulsion to make them a matching set should totally override the compulsion to keep the 'mater round. I mean, duh. Kids today. I've uploaded it anyway, of course, but under protest. :glare:

On the more classical dancing produce (the category is up, btw) side of things, here's one I just made: :rasp:

[Skep]

Cute. :)

Can we have a dancing bunch of cilantro next? :runaway:

[Crumb]

Or why not just the whole enchilada?

[JoeP]

Dancing pumpkin. Pumpkins are inherently funny.

[pescifish]

Not the evil ones.

At least not Funny-Ha-Ha-Funny.

[Ymir's blood]

:rasp: :banana2: :tomatod:

Now we're set up to sell underwear.

[TomJoe]

Woo hoo!

Dancing raspberry rawks.

[Corona688]

More dancing produce(and ordnance). I think I'm getting the hang of this. Actuallly I cheated and made a program to do it.
http://burningsmell.org/corndance.gif http://burningsmell.org/potatodance.gif http://burningsmell.org/grenadedance.gif http://burningsmell.org/potatodance.gif http://burningsmell.org/corndance.gif

I'll probably touch those up manually tomorrow. Tonight I'm zonked.

And here's a terrific pineapple one usable for the explosion that I found here (http://images.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://www.doxdesk.com/img/updates/20041229-pineapple.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.doxdesk.com/&h=20&w=20&sz=4&tbnid=hRFBSNHko9gJ:&tbnh=20&tbnw=20&hl=en&start=4&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dpineapple%26imgsz%3Dicon%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DG):

Very nice, Corona688. :woohoo:

http://burningsmell.org/corndance.gif

That corn is clothed ... needs a strip sequence.

Program? Wot kinda program?

[Corona688]

The program is still under development, but what I did was I took the dancing 'nana and removed the nana to get the pure dancing. Then I exploded it into individual frames, split the frames into their component dancing parts -- dancing legs, dancing left arm, dancing right arm, dancing face.

My program reads in all this data and superimposes it on whatever static image you give it, and shows the result realtime. I can manipulate the relative positions of things with the arrow keys -- make the arms wider for the potato, the eyes taller for the corn, etc. Once I've got everything right I hit printscreen and it saves 7 frames, which I turn into an animation with The Gimp.

This has it's limits though. The dancing face is meant to fit on a concave surface like a 'nana, and doesn't fit on taters and grenaders without lots of touchups.

So anyway, here's an improved dancing tater and grenader. The corn I'll leave as is.

[Skep]

This guy could double as an avocado. http://burningsmell.org/grenade2.gif Or guacamole if you make him 'splode. :D

[Crumb]

Those are great Corona688!

[livius drusus]

Warning: you will all hate me for this post.

They're adorable Corona, and sooo close to perfection, but your program makes one mistake: it only moves the eyes and mouth down on frames 4 and 8, not the entire veggie/explosive device. That disrupts the classic dancing motion.

I know. I have issues. I'm sorry. I'd be glad to fix them individually if you wouldn't mind. :blush:

[Corona688]

Damnit.
http://burningsmell.org/grenade-explode.gif

[livius drusus]

That's just preciously cute. :huggle:

ETA: I've uploaded an edited :potato:, Corona688. What do you think? I mean besides that I'm ridiculously anal.

[Skep]

Damnit.
http://burningsmell.org/grenade-explode.gif
Pass the dancing tortilla chips. :yup:

[Corona688]

Does this one meet Liv's standards?

http://burningsmell.org/grenade3.gif

Crosspost. I can't see any difference on that tater, so whatever.

[livius drusus]

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you. :bgirl:

The only way that could be improved is if the grenade dropped into view at the beginning of the cycle instead of just appearing.

[Corona688]

OK, liv already got the 'tater, so:

http://burningsmell.org/corn2.gifhttp://burningsmell.org/dancing-tortilla.gifhttp://burningsmell.org/grenade-explode.gifhttp://burningsmell.org/dancing-tortilla.gifhttp://burningsmell.org/corn2.gif

The grenade ain't new, but what's tortilla chips wihout exploding dip?

That's all you're going to get from me for now. I'd better do something more useful :eek:

Oh yeah, I also thought of a search keyword for these things. 'frankenfood'

[TomJoe]

The only way that could be improved is if the grenade dropped into view at the beginning of the cycle instead of just appearing.
My only other "improvement" would be to suggest that, before the little green fellow exploded, he adopted a lemming stance before exploding (hands to head, look of surprise at his impending doom). The spoken "Oh no!" is not necessary.

The only further improvement on your improvement to my improvement would be if the look of surprise were instead the look of "I'm about to poop" concentration that baby Jack-Jack has in the Incredibles short "Jack-Jack Attack" before he bursts into flame. That would so cool.

Whose stupid idea was this dancing grenade anyway? :innocent2:

[Corona688]

Whose stupid idea was this dancing grenade anyway? :innocent2: I blame the avacado thread in f&d.
