Starting A Meme Episode II: Attack of the Clones

by Fiesta on Jul 5, 2011 11:44 PM CDT

I hope tcyoung doesn't mind that I'm stealing his thunder, but this is the second installment of "Starting a Meme". It seems like many of us have experienced a bit of frustration lately, and laughter can be good medicine for that.

The rules are simple: Take the photo posted below, photoshop it into whatever you desire, and post it in the comments. You can post as many or as few photos as you like. I don't think this really needs to be said, but I'll say it anyway: please don't post any NSFW photos.

If you're looking for some inspiration, drop by B CB's first "Starting A Meme" thread and enjoy a few laughs at Andrew McCutchen's wild and wacky adventures. Or you could stop by Lookout Landing and take a look at the original thread with Nyjer Morgan's exploits.

Remember, you need a website to host your pictures on to link them to BCB. I personally use Photobucket, but there are many other great photo sharing services you can use.

If you're looking for some (legally) free software to get you started, check out GIMP. It's very polished for an open source program, and there are plenty of youtube tutorials to help you get started if you've never used a photo editing program before.

Many of you are creative photoshop Obi-Wan Kenobis, so I'm really looking forward to seeing what the community will produce on the second go-round of this type of thread.

So, BCB, do your worst (or I guess best) with this photo of Yuni in this installment of S.A.M.

Please tell me the capsule he's in is trapped in the gravitational pull of the sun.

What is it?

A large, fiery ball at the center of our solar system, but that’s not important now. We’re heading right for it.

Thanks for the advice, Fiesta

It takes me such a long time to throw something together with what I have. A vector-drawing program is great, and all, but it does not help me to format things that work well for the web. I finally got a photo-sharing account so I could access urls when I joined bcb in June.

By the time I have something ready, the area I’m responding to has been long-abandoned as a thread, and then I have to ask myself whether or not I want to put something in a morning Frosty Mug thread and just hope for the best.
As far as the software goes, I still swear by Lineform, but the documents need to be exported in an a standard image format, anyhow (the docs don’t open themselves).

Hopefully, gimp or some other open-source service will accept some of my work and let me transfer some of my project layers there.

Especially for Betancourt’s new restaurant “the Tricky Hop” (it’s a whole series. I got it from Rock’s constant answer for misplays from any of our infielders, but obviously Yuni has a Tricky-Hop by default whenever something happens).

Even a plain old comic I drew just for bcb! : ( I screwed up the url/embed, and posted it a day late.

So I'm upset. I've got a lot of stuff and it's too late. I'll work on this at work

because people at work are nice.

And I'll follow the rules, too!

Sorry about all of this stuff. My goal is to meet your challenge, so no more of the Macha’s Radio Raccoons Getting-mad-at-Corey Hart comic.

Done and done :)

Somebody should really just add a baseball on the ground to Yuni's right (our left).

It’ll look like he’s jumping out of the way of the ball.
