Curried Cabbage WB
or...who's got the guts
Saturday, May 23, 2009 by Uvah | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
In keeping with the finest of traditions I attribute to the great skinners of the WC community. I have but a single question. With all the jibe about curried cabbage what would a WB look like if someone would dare make one using the now infamous 'curried cabbage' as a theme. Any takers?

The brown with the green twinge would be the event horizon unless of course you prefer a 'naked' singularity. If yes to that then you'd have to get with vStyler to come up with a spinoff from his naked WB. Only problem with that is it would be soooooooooo small. Less than the period at the end of this sentence. But...I think vStyler's up to it
. Don't shoot me please.
The fan idea will probably be essential because if starkers BARKS are as deadly as he says we're gonna need them to disperse the toxic clouds. Wait a minute...if a .Dream is added to it a fan can blow the cloud across the screen and maybe a group representing all of us running away? Or maybe cowering inside a fallout shelter or something. Just a thought.

I need to clean up one or two little things before I try to apply it. I will try to get as far as I can before I come humbly begging for help.
The rest of you...if you skin something particular (WALLS, DREAM, dx, od..) you're gonna get hit up soon.

No experience, but I'll try to do...(what else?)..."docks". I'll need the graphics to try to do that (and a great teacher....hmmmm....I'm thinking of a certain WebGizmos who's the best dock maker around).

Here are the start panels (without the extras graphics) so you can get an idea of the substyles. If everyone's cool with them..I'll be forging ahead.

Yeah, looking good, Po`.... you certainly have a way with graphics, cos these look great and are a lot of fun to boot. The curried cabbage thing started out as a joke and purely as a bit of fun, and these start panels, graphics surely do reflect that.

However, while curried cabbage gas.barks are a fun thing, there is a more serious side - the noxious fumes - so maybe we should retain the original (more sinister) sub-style as a sombre reminder to the hazardous and toxic aspects associated with the curried cabbage bark. I mean, we can't have people totally oblivious to the possible public outcry to an inadvertant public bark thinking it's ALL fun, then have their neighbours running them outta town cos they didn't take precautions... and a gas cloud comparable to the Los Angeles smog isn't just gonna get 'em run out o' town... it could end up in an angered public lynching.

You are nothing if not relentless.
Once you take out the red and put in the curry brown, it's not quite as menacing.

And because of my lack of skills with windowblinds, I am not sure it's entirely workable or how the cabbage would stretch. I added the SUPER ATOMIC version in the SS above. I may tweak it some JUST for you...cause I'm funny that way and you have always been such a great supporter.
I suppose I should be grateful you haven't asked for a pirate version. ![]()

Thats OK I gotcha covered!!

Ok...I'm in agreement also...looks good. Needs the 'atomics' imho.
So Po'... send the graphics. I'll get started with the "Doc's docks" when I get them...if y'all agree I should make 'em.

So what if they can't take a joke. But seriously...novelty companies have been putting out fart machines for years. This WB and all that goes with it will make them soooooooooo jealous cause nobody else ever thought to do it. This could be a historical happening. Those start panels are awesome. And the Atomic Curried Cabbage logo is pure inspiration. Can't wait to see this come about.

Relentless! Yes, that's the word. I was once called a quitter because I held back on a curried cabbage bark I was sure had lumps in it... since then I've hated the word and have become relentless. ![]()
Well that's what I thought would be the original two styles... the curry flavoured on and your proposed red cabbage style. To me, both look great, so if it's possible and you're up for it, but if not, the three you last showed us are excellent and will certainly reflect the spirit of the theme.
Me, well I'm pretty easy going, but you're the guy putting this together so I'd like the final decision to be yours... whichever way it goes, I am supremely confident that you'll create a magnificent theme that does justice to the almighty curried cabbage tradition.
What you may lack in WB skills is surely made up for in your imagination and creativity, so I have no doubt that you will produce and exceptional blind... and given AVMAN and others are more than willing to assist, the final product will be more than acceptable.... 5 star, even, looking at what you've already done.
Um, just give me a moment to search my memory banks.... yep.... I did have that thought. Yup, it was a pirate version with a pictured start panel depicting the ship's sails under a full wind... with cap'n starkers stooped over and emanating a green gas cloud in their general direction. ![]()
Nah, seriously, the curried cabbage thing started in the 'Joe User-Joke User' thread we pirated, so this is more than enough to celebrate pirates and curried cabbage....
The First Mate's name was Carter
By crikes was he a farter
When the wind wouldn't blow
And the ship wouldn't go
They gave curried cabbage to Carter the farter to start 'er. ![]()

Given your recent 'shop' offerings and your friendship with Webgizmos an added bonus if you need a little guidance, I'm sure you'll do some top notch docks. I look forward to them with bated breath... and a celebratory bark upon their release. ![]()

To me, this has gone well beyond a joke! It's almost become an institution steeped in the finest of traditions, and that, my dear friend, can be put down to you for starting this thread and suggesting a curried cabbage WB be created. It is coming to fruition because you had this crazy but brilliant idea... thanks, Uvah, you're a gem... as is everyone else who embarked on this journey to reveal the magnificent mystery that is curried cabbage.
And you're right, farts have been the butt (pun intended) of jokes since the dawn of mankind - possibly even among the dinosaurs - so why not get on the bandwagon and have some fun. However, I am not impressed with the novelty companies... they use hands under armpits and other contraptions to recreate fart sounds that, to me, are not authentic. I've written them many, many times telling them that all they need is a microphone and decent recording device to get the most authentic and booming barks ever recorded... but no, they've never turned up.
Nah, gutless bastards stick to the artificially fabricated fart because they're too damned scared. Shoot, I even offered free use of gas masks to those who turned up for the historic occasion(s), but nope, they stayed away in droves and missed out on a momentus opportunity to become the first ever to record the master blaster at work. Whimps, that's all I can say WHIMPS!!!!

Speaking of dinos...If archeologists can find fossilized poop and if climatologists can find traces of prehistoric air in core samples do ya think maybe they can find evidence of dino barks.
Then there's the question of wind...pirates and curried cabbage, hmmmm. Suppose, just suppose a pirate ship is caught in a place where the wind has died down and they need to get out in a hurry. starkers gets up on the 'poop' bends over and aims for the sails. The pirates got captured. Why...the bark blew the masts and all but the poop deck to the far side of nowhere.

Surely you mean Hazmat and an emergency response evacuation team. ![]()
Dino 'barks' exist and are easy enought to find... er, detect to the well trained nose Ever been out in the woods and suddenly an evil pong wafts by? Well quite often that's a dino bark, but some who deny the existence of dino barks will try to explain it away with: "Does a bear sh!t in the woods?". However, the truth is, anything that was created on the planet remains on the planet, and while dino barks may not remain in their original location, you know, trade winds and all, they frequently do pop up here, there and everywhere.
Trouble is, dino barks are freshened up by the prevailing winds and bears usually get the blame for them cos they hibernate for months in confined areas and the gas build up essentially smells pretty much prehistoric when released. So, with this prevailing but understandable confusion, what we need is for those archaeological geezers to thaw out and revive one those frozen Neanderthals wot got found in the Himalaya's to have a sniff and tell us the difference... cos if anyone's gonna know a dino from a bear fart, it's him.

Or we can get straight from a different horses mouth. Send an e-mail to [email protected]. (Why this thing went blue I don't know. I just made it up). We ask him/her if they remember the sight/sound/smell of a dinofart (they've been around long enough) and if so ask that they send a pic for the sight, a wma for the sound and a scratch and sniff for the smell (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) to www.curriedcabbage.wincustomize.com.
This is really weird...I'm making up these links and they're turning blue as if they're real. Help!!!!

Um! I think you might get into trouble....BIG TIME!!!!
I just clicked on the curried cabbage @ WC link and it took me to Draginol's (Brad's) PP ![]()
Yikes! ![]()
Associating Brad with curried cabbage and it's known after-effects could be something you may or may not live to regret.
