Collaboration is cool - and it's always a pleasure creating bootskins from your work bro!
I only wish I wasn't limited by 16 colors in bootskins, your work deserves to be displayed in full color. Maybe the vista version of bootskin (I hear there may be one coming out) will over come the 16 color limitation.
- I'm hoping next week that the "cluster" series of bootskins will be out.
Thanks again for the great feedback and for letting me use your wallpapers in these bootskins! �

I appreciate the recognition Johnny!
Yeah I just checked that out too, I was shy by about 2 large the other day, didn't think I was going to make it by the weekend. My goal was to make top 10 when I started doing this last august when I noticed I rec'd some pretty good feedback on my stuff. I know we're not supposed to do this just for the download#'s but it is nice to achieve a goal if you set one for yourself. I don't know what will happen next, haven't setup any new goals but I will definitely continue submitting work to this site and try my hand at a few other skinning projects to see how well I do (more rainlendars, logons, maybe try a desktopx theme or a sysmetrix, a few more wb's and definitely more bootskins and maybe an additional beatnik or two for the 5 people on this planet that download them
).
You're not doing too shabby yourself, if my estimates are correct, you'll probably be top dog in bootskins by the weekend or early next week - you're developing a pretty decent sized fan base.

the site should probably be doing more about advertising it's premier artists if Skinned Alive hasn't heard of Skinhit - by way of pseudo names you're practically related �

couldn't resist, I'm a bit of a smarta$$, smarta$$ remarks are in the blood, my verbosity knows no limits
- seriously though, what happened to the skinner spotlights which had started a while ago, I haven't seen anything new in a while. I think an article on you, what you do & how you do it (no tutorials, just what tools you use and what interests you,etc.), how you got involved in skinning would be great! Someone with skills (and I do mean skills) using bryce among other software and creating images that literally could take days to render needs more recognition on this site.
The bootskin is doing very well, 100 dl's today and it's only noon! ��

NO NO my Dear Sir.��
Not even close.��
That here in America is referred to as "Ebonics" or a Sub Dialect of the African American's way of pronunciation in America.
I love all cultures in the world. There's something to learn from each one of them.
African culture is a fantastic culture full of rich colorful beauty and rhythm. The African culture is usually on the forefront for trendsetting in general.
Anyway, over here, words like "Errbody" is just everybody. "Ya' me" simply means "You know what I mean?" Ya is not pronounced like Yeah. The "a" in Ya is prounced like the "a "in Bach.
True dat, means "Yes, I concur with you wholeheartedly!"��
Or, That's true. Or "Yes, I agree"
There'll be things like Hiz'ouse, which means house.
Cuz, which can be used in a couple of ways. Usually though in reference to a gang we have here called Crips.
Blood, same thing.
I.E. "Sup Cuz?"
"Monkey" as in "Tryin' to get to her and dat Monkey." Monkey refers to the female's gentalia.
"Bondonkadonk" - A very large and round Gluteous Maximus��
I coulda' just said butt, but I felt like being nerdy.
Anyway, you get the idea.
No disrespect to you Rob for the laughing icon, I literally laughed out loud pretty hard for a few minutes. I actually had to wait to stop laughing just to write this.
I'm assuming that Canadian Africans don't have their own dialect in Canada as they do here?
Holla Back Homey.
Aight?

I'm sure they do, although I can't put together the definitive guide to american ebonics the way you just did. I have heard quite a few "What up G?" 's but truth be told, not much more than that. Aight?!
Over here in Canada, where it's cold like nobody's business (literally, there have been days in January & February where you could fill up an ice tray with warm water and place it on the front step outside of your house and in @ 5min it would be frozen solid. -40 celcius without the wind chill which ends up making it colder, we plug in our cars at night to turn on the engine block heaters so that they don't turn into chunks of ice that can't start in the morning) I can't speak on behalf of the cdn african population but the italian cdn population spews forth their own cdn italian-english (more italian than english) dialect during times of stress & hardship:
"I punj u noze" - I'll punch your nose, usually happens because of a smart a$$ remark, foolish action or just because you exist in this dimension
"gondamsuminabench! " - God D**m Son of a B**ch (personal favorite), self explanatory
"you baccala" - a mix of english & italian, you are calling someone a piece of cod fish (apparently a bad thing), I'm assuming the next phase of the argument would involve breading & frying in hot oil
"monjicake" - the spelling is off but it is pronounced "mon" "ja" "cake", literally translated someone who eats & craps in the very same spot (who would do this I'm not sure but I hear it alot so it's must be common, disgusting but common"
"moolinjan" - again the spelling is off but you're calling someone an eggplant
"ba$tardo!" - that one should be clear as mud
"I wait for ju in di parking lot at 7/11!" - a veritable threat to rearrange someone's molecular structure (if you catch the drift) in the parking lot at a 7/11 store which is apparently a common location for this kind of event
"va caca" or "vai cacare!" - literally translated it means go pooh, hold me back if someone says that to me because I think I'll have a $hit!
"putana" pronounced "poo" "ta" "na", italian version of a female dog
"figlia di putana" - son of a female dog, refer to "gondamsuminabench" for the italian english version
"stronzo!" - calling someone a sausage link that is made of certain type of human excrement (don't make me spell it out, you baccala!)
"cretino!" - calling someone a cretin, hold me back because I'm about to explode when I hear that one (calm down rob, calm down)
"Stu Gats!" pronounced "Stew" "Gots", Tony Soprano named his boat this (I saw it written on the back of the boat during a Soprano's episode), it means your ball$ and we're not talking "tennis anyone"?
"no mi rumbare lei mie pale" - pronounced "no" "me" "room" "bar" "eh" "lay" "me eh" "pa" "lay", translated it means don't break my "Stu Gats!", see previous explanation for details.
- there's more but I don't want to insult too many people (at least not without seeing them face to face first, it adds to the effect plus I like to have my face close enough to people so that I can receive a smack upside the head every now & then)
- I love this, we should do this every friday, we'll start a thread in the forum called "Friday Yuk Yuks" or something classy like that. If I can't make fun of my heritage then what's the use of existing? (I guess there are reasons, I have a family to take care, I still have quite a few bootskins to release and maybe a couple of wb themes, stuff on tv to watch late at night when no one else is watching, websites to surf, mcdonald's, burgerking, subway, pizza, kfc, man I'm getting hungry - what the heck were we talking about anyways?!)
What up G?! Aight?!

I guess the 'ole Sicilian dialect from Toronto isn't much different than our St. Louies'.
I had a guy I worked with named Scott.
I use to call "ScottFather".
Italiano out the wazoo.
One of the nicest guys you'd ever know. He'd do anything for ya. Ya need someone to sleep with tha fishes?
Don't worry.
He'd take care of it.
LOL
Just kidding.
Tight Knit family as well.
I kinda wonder if the saying "Blood is thicker than Water", came from the Italians.��
