I especially like Mr. PotatoHead as Darth Vader...

I wish I could "photoshop".

Err.. There IS a darth vader Mr Potato Head. I have one on my coffee table right this minute.

The joke wasn't so much that Mr Potato Head was Darth, it's that there was a bowl of chips (crisps), and Darth Potato was saying "I am your father"... Some of the "best of 2005" are extremely well executed, some of them are very funny, some of them are both, and then there are an awful lot of also-rans.

And Sharky, Photoshop isn't actually as complicated as it seems -- there are a bajillion tutorials on the web that can run you through using all the various bits and bobs, and once you know what the tools do it's just a case of fiddling...

Sometimes I wonder what the internet would be like if it had happend 10 or 20 years ago or more.

Could you imagine this contest in the context of, say, 1956 or 1860?

You should submit that to Something Awful as a topic for Photoshop Phriday.

"Photoshop isn't actually as complicated as it seems --"

Probably. But I lose patience. I don't know why. I have a picture in my mind and it doesn't come out as I intend and then I give up.

There are only two things I have patience and focus for (outside of sex) to get past the sticky points; programming and music.

mmmmm sticky sex

If you get past the sticky points in sex, you've gone too far...

I would have sent a Darth Tater for the JOS Secret Santa, but I couldn't find it anymore.

"Darth Tater"

Heh. That amuses me very much. I want one.

There's a "Spud Trooper" available too...
