I want a drinking bird smiley

[ceptimus]

Not for any particular reason, you understand. I just like these drinking bird toys.

Here's a crude animation I found on the web. Obviously our smiley would have to be smaller, and better than this.

You're not going to try and use it to keep the power plant from melting down, are you?

[SharonDee]

The drinking bird has my vote! :yup:

I'm not sure under what circumstances it would be used, though ... :think2: But then, we don't really need purposes with our smiley requests, do we?

here's (http://crazyjef.homestead.com/files/drinkingbird2.gif) one that looks a little better, but it's still far too big.

How's this?

Not bad, but it needs:
More frames of animation, so it looks smoother.
The surface of the liquid in the lower bulb has to stay more-or-less level.
The bird shouldn't drink on each swing - it has to oscillate a few times with decreasing amplitude between each drink.

[Skep]

More work than I feel like doing. Reducing the size and transparentizing the one Corona688 linked to is my limit. :(

[ceptimus]

Hey! it's the best so far. But you know that it's not up to liv's demanding standards at present. :P

[livius drusus]

:shifty:

[viscousmemories]

I like it. :)

You know, give me a few weeks and I'll make a version that will have you tear your eyes out in spasms of laughter...

Or just make you laugh... :muahaha:

[livius drusus]

That's an offer you can't refuse, cep. :horse:

Then get cracking. I look forward to seeing it.

[ceptimus]

Thanks MisterIngo.

I'm sure it'll be great. :slide:

:wriggle:

[MonCapitan2002]

I think it will as well. I can't wait to see it. :wriggle:

[livius drusus]

With many thanks to MisterIngo, and much, much missing of Skeptoid, please welcome: :drinkingbird:. ceptimus, you're a keyword, of course.

[godfry n. glad]

I'll do you one better.

Two birds drinking, with one smoking a cigar.

[Legs]

:hypno2: Wow I'm mesmorized


:laugh:

[Crumb]

Is it just me or is it not drinking?

[MonCapitan2002]

Does it matter? It is an awesome smilie.

[ceptimus]

Thanks :)

Ah, I've updated it. I made it in the middle of the night so I forgot the glass. Probably had a few too many myself. :giggle: But it's been updated and Liv will most likely upload the new version soon...

[livius drusus]

Done, sir. Thanks again. :bow:

[Crumb]

Where is the new one?

[livius drusus]

Same place as the old one. Ctrl-F5 should do the trick. ;)

[Crumb]

:drinkingbird:

Was that so frikken hard? :glare:

[livius drusus]

Yabut... It wouldn't have looked any different if the old version was still in your cache.

Anyway, it's a new month. Don't you have a poll to start, young man? :plzhold:

[Crumb]

shit...Yeah I do, but it will have to wait a bit longer...uh...or maybe I will get to it before bed time.

[livius drusus]

That's cool, Crumbles. No pressure at all.



:onhold:

[justaman]

Does anyone else find it uncool that the word 'banned' appears on Skep's profile? :(

[JoeP]

It's a little disturbing, but what's more uncool: leaving it there, or denying his nature by changing/deleting a custom user title that he chose for himself?

[livius drusus]

I agree, Joe. :sadnod:
