This is way cooler than mine!

Flumpkins (author) in reply to DRADISJun 26, 2008. 4:58 AM

Thank you. Do you think I made "easy-to-follow" Insructions?

DRADIS in reply to FlumpkinsJun 26, 2008. 8:35 PM

Yeah, I even did it without reading all the instructions. I just followed the pictures!

shooby in reply to FlumpkinsJun 26, 2008. 7:04 AM

It's pretty easy to follow. The main value is the idea itself, there's obviously a lot of variation in how it can be implemented. I know I'll try doing this, but it'll probably be using my own method. Thanks for the idea.

Flumpkins (author) in reply to shoobyJun 26, 2008. 12:20 PM

Wait a minute... your name is shooby.. what is your real first name??

shooby in reply to FlumpkinsJun 26, 2008. 1:35 PM

Justin, why

Flumpkins (author) in reply to shoobyJun 26, 2008. 4:47 PM

and why do you go by the name "shooby"?

Flumpkins (author) in reply to shoobyJun 26, 2008. 4:43 PM

Because my name is justin and my PS3 name is Jshooby...

shooby in reply to FlumpkinsJun 26, 2008. 9:18 PM

First name that came to mind. My cousin calls dogs "de shoobies", no idea why. Caught on I guess.

Flumpkins (author) in reply to shoobyJul 24, 2008. 5:04 AM

I know that this was a month ago but I CAN'T TAKE IT!!!!! This is sooooo weird. I'm nearly choking right now! :D Jk

shooby in reply to FlumpkinsJul 30, 2008. 9:45 PM

Hah fair enough. The cousin is Dutch by the way, hence the 'de'.

Flumpkins (author) in reply to shoobyJul 31, 2008. 6:18 AM

Cool! I forget, is Dutch German?

shooby in reply to FlumpkinsJul 31, 2008. 8:30 AM

Nope! Dutch is Dutch, spoken in Holland (netherlands) German is German, spoken in Germany. They look really similar on paper, but grammatically are very different.

Flumpkins (author) in reply to shoobyJul 31, 2008. 7:02 PM

Oooohhh.... I see. Cool. Have YOU been to Holland?

shooby in reply to FlumpkinsAug 2, 2008. 11:43 AM

Yep, a couple of times. I'm half Dutch.
