As part of my rehabilitation process away from Blues Brothers (which isn't working. That movie is just too good), I will now provide a non-silly quality comment.
I believe this program was written possibly in Java, as the boxes are reminiscent of the boxes we viewed during the final month of high school while I was taking a Computer Science class and learning Java. Indeed, the nature of the program seems to lend itself to the style of Java, but it could very well have been written in another language.
The graphics are not half bad, but could have been better used as quite frankly blue and green are non-Halloweenish. I myself once painted a Warhammer miniature in Halloween colors and it was quite the nice color scheme, providing both a scary otherworldly color while still maintaining the evilness inherent in conflicting colors of bright and dark where the bright color is slightly offshade from its primary form. To continue upon this tangent thought, I would like to add that a bright green works well as a tertiary color in the black/orange color scheme, but only as a supporting color. To mix all three as a single color scheme is too conflicting and leaves the work clashy.
While I appreciate the attempt, I must say that a Halloween Poem program is unsuitable for commercial use, as the program simply can not tap into the dark recesses of the human mind that spawn the daemonically-possessed works of literature that spring forth during this time of the restlessness of the dead.
My head hurts now....nap time...

Posted by: Laemkral on October 23, 2003 09:04 PM...oops, almost forgot...
Fuck me with a dead dingo's donger, Laemkral, do you ever force yourself to read the drivel you write?!?
No, thought not.
Posted by: Wile E. Bitterwhinger on October 23, 2003 09:05 PMWhat's all this then? daemonically possessed works of literature? I'll get my boys on that right away.
Wouldn't rat testicles be very small? you would have to eat dozen upon dozen of them just to absorb their tesiclely goodness. I want to pass on a message to Little Fish Software, it's the same thing my dad always told me, "you ain't never gonna amount to nothin' "
Wait that wasn't my dad, that was mike patton. God Damn psychotropic mushrooms.
Posted by: Nick on October 23, 2003 09:38 PMAfter seeing this, I miss bags of flaming dog shit.
Posted by: U. D. Mann on October 23, 2003 11:11 PMI do read the words I write (call it drivel and someone with an 'I' on their left shoulder will be paying you a visit. What I write is high quality nonsense, damnit, and you will respect the effort I put into it as an artist of the idiotic! It takes effort to be this insane!!!), and if I wanted to I could post exactly like that every single time. However, some of you people just aren't worthy of it (some of you are, but there just aren't enough of you). So until I am either forced to post in such a manner by the VanTols (which I doubt they would), or enough people are here who are worthy of me talking in a sensical manner, you get this.
Good old lunatic me.
Enjoy....with a 1973 Merlot from Sonoma Valley. Garnish with pepper and parsley. Serves enough for 4 (or two teenagers), 6 if served with a side of vegetables and a salad.
mmmmm...clashy software...
Posted by: Homer J. Simson on October 24, 2003 07:10 AMSorry guys. I always check and post from my high speed conection at work. I have recently resigned and, in fact, today is my last day. I probably won't be reading or posting for a long time. Possibly never. For some of you this will be happy news. For the number of hits, albiet angry ones, this might be sad. Oh well. I will miss most of you and am glad for the community we shared. It was great.

You will be sorely missed (and I mean 'sore' in the suppurating sense of the word)
8GN - Gender Neutral

BTW I know Homer Simpson, but who is Homer Simson?
Posted by: Damn sticking shift ket on October 24, 2003 10:37 AMLaemkral, if you read the words you write, you must have one hell of a lot of free time.
Posted by: fuddes on October 24, 2003 11:09 AMI also freely admit to reading all the stuff that Laem writes. Despite the trouble I've started between him and I, I still have some respect for someone who's that insane and still able to write coherently. I mean I would expect a lot of "blah weee dong sui why aren't you worshiping me like a God yet duh blee blee blue" kind of stuff, but what he writes reads much better than that.
Now that I am beginning to understand the conspiracies recognized in here, I hereby profess to try to be more careful with the allegiances I claim (read: I'll try to not be so stupid in the future). Maybe I can avoid more jail time!
As for the "Holloween colors" issue, lets face it. Orange and black is the only color combination that make you think "oh damn, it's almost Christmas again. How many children can I run over this year?" Green just doesn't make me think of making ghosts and goblins. Well, there was that one time when an alien was dressed up as a child wearing a ghost costume and I ran over him (by accident mind you, I didn't know he was an alien! I honestly thought I was killing an innocent child!). Quite a surprise to see a child bleeding green all over the sidewalk. I tried explaining my actions to the local police when they showed up, exclaiming "but it's bleeding green! How can that be murder?" Unfortunately, the local police didn't care for that argument at all. Maybe they were aliens too ...
Posted by: Walking Contradiction on October 24, 2003 01:48 PMIsn't it zupposed to be fancy something today!
Give me the fancy!
Give me the fancy!
Do you not see I am needing the fancy??!
Posted by: Lazarus on October 24, 2003 02:59 PMBeware! The ghost of one Freddie Rixster haunts this site and, on Halloween, can come and get you, but only if you're in one of these comment sections.
Well, that was pretty lame.
Posted by: Left Field on October 24, 2003 04:07 PMI dare Rixster's ghost (which I swear I had nothing to do with, HONEST!! Unless you are gonna go by that whole chain of command thing, then yes. I might be a bit involved in that....) to come after me. I've got a dream catcher and I know how to USE IT!
Mister Previously Insane, in light of your disappearance, you have been made an honorary member of Blues Brother's Anonymous. 1 step at a time, 2 steps forward, kick, then 3 steps back. Repeat.
Sorry, still going cold turkey.
You will be missed, and I hope you can once again reestablish a connection to the Net as everybody needs somebody to love! Sugar to kiss! Sweetheart to miss....I need you, you, you!
Agh....must....fight it!!!
I know the GMC has their dirty hairy poo covered (which falls under dirty I guess, but I needed more insulting words) hands in getting me addicted to Blues Brothers!
And where is Norm? Oh god, Rixster's ghost got to him!!!
Rix's ghost is almost, almost too much, even for Norm. I daresay, that you will indeed be missed P.I. why the hell don't you have a computer at home? Are you stuck in some kind of Time Fluctuation where your house, and only your house, is in the 1800's, like as soon as you pull into your driveway your car turns into a horse drawn carriage? I hate that shit. I'm with walking contradiction on this one, I enjoy Laem's insanity. However I have been Blues Brother's free for going on 6 years now. I know you can pull through man! It's just takes some dry white toast and a coke.
by the way, Walking Contradiction, can I call you WC? You are cool now, we just had to clear you of any involvement with the GMC. Now you can pretty much say anything to anyone, as long as it doesn't involve Laem's dogs, and we won't get mad.
Sorry for any misspellings there was an misunderstanding at work today with a box knife and the tip of one of my fingers. See the knife thought it should cut the tip off of my left middle finger and I thought I should get to keep it. There was some yelling and shoving, and finally the knife got the last word. the bandage makes for the bad typing.
Posted by: Nick on October 24, 2003 05:28 PMWhat the heck? I tried this and talking about bad icons, it's a freiking OS 9 redone with aqua colers!
Posted by: Dr. Claw on October 24, 2003 05:29 PMDid I spell colers right?
Posted by: Dr. Claw on October 24, 2003 05:31 PMNo. According to Webster's, you can spell it colors or colours (depends if you are British or not). According to the voices I hear in my sleep (which I think are my unconscious but could be the whisperings of madness. Either way, I listen) its spelled blood. Dunno why. Maybe my inner voices are mentally retarded.
And its freaking, frickin, or friggin. And those aren't aqua colors, they are the green and blue that Java uses. I know cause I once saw them. Did you notice that the menus don't work?
don't forget fucking. never, ever forget fucking.
this is so going to be edited.
