That's pretty deep.

Still looks like a pipe to me.

Still looks like a pipe to me.

It looks like a pipe. But it isn't. It's an image of a pipe.

[Jackrabbit]

Seems reasonable.

It's pedantry.

Here, in Bay 12, we live for pedantry.

If it looks like a pipe, it is still in a way, a pipe. Mostly because it looks the same, and is thus a representation of a pipe.

One thing that bothers me about art is if you're the first, you're creative. That'd be true in most places, but when you're the first to do something because everyone else considered it stupid, you're not creative. You do, however, deserve the praise, because time and time again it's been shown that there is heaps of people out there willing to admire obviously, stupid things because they've never been done before.

I'd still hate you though. Mostly if you acted like you were great and creative.

But it has an entirely different manner of being from a pipe. A pipe has pipe-ness. A painting has painting-ness.

I kinda like it, despite the rant above. It's funny.

I think Jackrabbit's avatar needs to be cyborg-ized. I tried to find an image of a cyborg rabbit, but I couldn't find one that isn't a furry.

[Jackrabbit]

Ah, Cthulhu made one. I'll never use it.

[Myroc]

Yo.

Err, i mean...

Yo.

[Cthulhu]

Ah, Cthulhu made one. I'll never use it.

USE IT!!  I MADE IT SPECIAL, JUST FOR YOU.

You're making me cry.

And now cyborg Cthulhu... the world is doomed
