Soros!

This one's more exciting than the SORES! one because I cut it to make it seem like she has rhythm.

Yellowbelly

The song at the end of this runs through my head quite often.



Yellow, Yellowbelly
Where you gonna run to now?

JanusNode Greets You

You warm audacious snuggler-being, you have attained the ability to rain pleasure upon your desire.

I take morbid pleasure in the #1 result for "my cat died".

The Return of Skeletor

I have previously noted the exacting detail in which Wikipedians have explored the question of Skeletor's head.

Some would suggest that the world can get by with less Skeletor:



DON'T LET THE BASTARDS WIN.

It Wasn't Me

It was quickly fixed.

Idle Hands

Some JanusNode Instructions

I like JanusNode.

Here's a start that I think is a little less opaque than the manual.

Download JanusNode and find your way to the JanusNode Resources folder.

Make a folder in textDNA and call it Mine.

Make a text file called Mine (no .txt suffix necessary) and include this single line:

100 Subject(one) "I" 100 InsultVerbs 100 "that" 100 adjectives 100 RJWaterAnimals 100 punctuate 100 return 100

Put the text file in the Mine folder. Restart JanusNode. In the drop-down menu with Introductory Sample will be “Mine”. Choose it and hit the silly picture.

100 is a frequency percentage and the first one applies to the sentence as a whole. “Subject(one)” is the name of the sentence (TextDNA) as a whole. Every 100 thereafter applies to the item just before it, so every item in this textDNA fires 100 percent of the time the item is invoked.

Things in quotes are literal text. Things without quotes are either looking in the BrainFood folder for an identical filename from which to draw words or, in the case of the last two items, are some of the very few special commands.

The output:

I terminate that slender blackfish?
I eat that green catfish.
I bring curses upon that pigheaded alligator…
I draw blood from that demented fish?
I bring curses upon that trembling perch?
I rain evil upon that capricious ‘gator?

I make impossible that conscious blackfish?
I dominate that evangelical black bass…
I exploit that early catfish?

Embarrassment

I have been tagged for something, but will tag no further. So let the pain begin.

They attack by butting with their large horns. They add +6 to damage inflicted when they charge, and they attack as +16 hit dice monsters.

Thrym is both leader and deity of the frost giants.

That's from the 1980 Deities & Demigods published by TSR.

This represents the hazards of being a pack-rat and having a five-year-old daughter who can read: it's the nearest book on the floor. Below is what was once her favourite goddess, although she has fortunately forgotten what page it's on and is now stuck with Japanese mythos:

JanusNode

People who like to mangle text can have good fun with JanusNode.

It's not well explained, but there are some pre-built text DNA modules that produce things like story plots:

This story has two main characters. The first is Raphael, an old rocket engineer. The second is named Reuben. Reuben is a dogged prisoner.
Raphael and Reuben meet in an electric enigmatic half-way house. Raphael and Reuben are drinking white wine together. Reuben is tired of being dogged and longing. He knows that Raphael is neither dogged nor longing. Raphael is only after one thing: riots. Reuben needs to get riots. The kinky rocket engineer explains to the kindly dogged prisoner that the kind-hearted rain is a symbol of revolution. Reuben is changed forever. He becomes more dogged.

Sorry, left the alliteration control on. Anyway, download it and remember to hit the pretty picture with your mouse...that generates from the TextDNA: there's no obvious "go" button.

The Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal has a very restrictive photography policy so I took what I could. Enjoy.
