Kal roars with laughter as Taz sets the bowl down in front of him. With head shaking from side to side, he shrugs, still laughing, he takes a deep breath and begins to gobble up the contents of the bowl. His face wrinkles as he takes his first bite, then slowly his eyes brighten as he polishes off the concoction, "Wow, that's some damn good stuff, especially those crunchy bits."

Letting out a sigh of frustration and relief, Kal pays the Silly Rookie Tax and orders a Ganymede Time Bomb, chugs it down. He quickly orders a small pitcher full of his favorite drink, and with his glass, turns and after spotting an empty table near the back of the room, he makes his way to it, side-stepping three well liquored patrons, several odd looking dozen toes and one very long tail.

Leaning back in his chair, he takes a sip of his drink, scans the bar, making mental notes of the dos and don'ts of the Cantina.

David, about your P.S.

I may be wrong, but I think the Last two pics are the only pics which are not of Conan the Barbarian?

Y/N?

Hey, I just noticed something, this Kaladaar Dude has an avatar pic done in my style and I don't remember making it. Does this mean there is a forger within our midst? Should I call the Intergalactic Police?

So wazzzz up, Dude? Too shy to make a request? Or are you of independant mind and body?

primitive walks over to David Gervais table.

" Hey fella, you that crazy artist dude? "
DG watches the hulking brute leaning over his table.
" Yes." DG answer with a squeeky voice, obviously a little intimidated by the sheer size of the savage.
" Hey, I buy you a TAB" (or was it a drink on my tab, don't remember)

primitive slides in beside DG in the sofa, pinning him against the wall, leaving him no option but to accept.

" See lotta great paintjobs round here, you maka them ?"
" Yes, some of them." DG seem to relax a bit, maybe the fiendish fiend isn't so bad after all.
" You maka primitive one too ? " primitive asks with a sheepish grin, while fumbling his rusty (yet pointy) spear.

Felling even more secure, DG slides under the table.

"Let me have a look at you and see if I can get get some inspiration " DG says from the other side.
" Hmmm. The low sloping forehead, lots of muscles, the obnoxious body odor. Yes, I get an image here." David says.

"Wot is it ?" primitive asks, with the look on his face of a child ready to open his X-mas presents.
"I, I see Conan th..."
"Wot" With a mighty roar, primitve springs to life, wielding his rusty (yet pointy) spear "You think I look like that girlie O'Brian fella"

Running from the cantina, we can hear DG screeming " The Barbarian, I ment the Barbarian".

primitive starts to follow, but is distracted by a Marmite-covered FBW trynig to do the limbo to the tick-tick-tick sound on the bardisk.

My good man, don't you know that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Monkey see, Monkey do... Did Monkey me copy Monkey you?

Here is my explanation:
You recommended a great drawing program (ArtGem), for which I am truly grateful. A truly wondrous program it is. You led and will always lead the way with your vast and ever growing library of excellent avatars. I sought only to blend in, if that is a crime, then I plead guilty. My intentions were honorable and it is my hope you see them as such.

My fate, I leave in your hands

primitive wakes on the floor of the cantina with a thumping headache. Crawling around on all 4 he notices some pictures laying around. He carefully picks up a classic drawing of Conan ( John Buscema ?), and decides to make this his symbol.

Even tho David Gervais is the source of his headache he decides DG is his friend (for now), and that DG will not find out how the rusty (yet pointy) spear feels up his ***.

primitive stumbles over to his old table, but finds a green man sitting in his chair.

- hey man, thats my chair.

Kaladaar, this is "The Cantina"!! Putting you fate in anybody's hands is a very dangerous thing to do, but you're still a bit of a rookie so I'll just take a piece of that Rookie-Tax and leave it at that. You did a good job with that avatar by the way, you were just a bit skimpy on the polish though!

Cheers!
