No, that's not some new headgear. it's one of the guys who mobbed me. ? lol! Great pic V.   Reminds me of one of those enormous headgears for the Warhammer Questing Knights or something   Looks like a very enjoyable vacation. *sigh* It really makes me want to go south this holidays myself as well... _________________ Sofa General Nobody expects the Inquisition!!! http://theepiclounge.wordpress.com/

It's a cross between that and an heraldic crest, as Warmaster suggested. ? Warmaster, about the vacation - just do it! Try Venice 9or Malta).... ? Mojarn, I'm afraid I like his artwork too. As well as his exhaustive historical allusions. As for moern art - well, am I the only one who thinks the Borg are a cubist expression of conformism?

Thanks Tas.   I've never been to Amsterdam myself - and I can strongly recommend Venice as a future destination. Or Valletta?   _________________ Back from oblivion (again)?

Quote (vanvlak @ 07 May 2006 (09:49)) Mojarn, I'm afraid I like his artwork too. I supposed so. Otherwise I would've started to wonder why you bought his comic books at all.   As well as his exhaustive historical allusions. As for moern art - well, am I the only one who thinks the Borg are a cubist expression of conformism? Yes... because in reality they are an expressionist view of mass-media zombies. Everybody knows that.   As for taking a vacation in Venice, that will have to wait until I win in a lottery. _________________ I don't know and I let who care. -J.S.

My wife having a partly-paid-for conference in nearby Treviso helped a good deal there....
