Burrito is like submarine; it keeps surfacing. : )
I am saving my applause for the final installment.
Yeah, I should know better about burritos, but.. eh. (red face)
I think I can stretch the epic out for 2-3 more posts! (hee hee heeeeeeeee)
Hee hee! (evil grin)
Oddly enough, I was thinking about this last night as I stared at the ceiling, unable to sleep. (bug eyed face)
Olaf has a wild life, that's for sure! (shock face)
Olaf And the Kilometer Long Pike - Part Four
Deep the ocean and high the swells
As Olaf tired of fishy smells
Sore of fist exhausted and damp
With a painful shoulder cramp
Decides to try another approach
And on the pikes-head he did encroach
Muttering quietly "What the heck"
He grabbed the pike-fish by the neck
Thews went bulging, struggling more
The kilometer-long pike pointed back towards shore.
Olaf hung on for dear life
As the pike cut through water like a knife
Hours passed and Olaf fought on
Until his strength was nearly gone
But there is an end to the darkest night
As the Sun rose, to Olafs delight
On far horizon, he did spot
His home village, where lay his cot
He knew that soon this fish would land
He'd cook it right there in the sand.
Out on the beach a crowd did grow
As many came to watch the show
Women, children, barking dogs
And pits were dug to roast some hogs
Mead was brought in by the barrel
Drunken revellers did start to carol
Toys were sold and money made
To Olaf did bards serenade
There was nothing not to like
Except the approaching kilometer-long pike.
(to be continued, there's one more triplet of stanzas left)
Now I want to do a giant pike render, dang it! (cry cry cry)
I need one of Dinoraul's huge dinosaur fish to do the job.. I wonder if I have any money left.. (urgh face)
*edit* can't afford until next Payday, but: http://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/elasmosaurusdr-styxosaurusdr/80828
Olafs nightmare!! (aahhhhhhh face)
Where are the fiend's texture mats? or are there none?

Heheh... me too! me too!
(and I would be curious to see the first verse or two translated back into Finnish... *hint hint* ^_^)

Ooooeeeeeer. That's going to take some skill I might not possess...

ROFL - maybe Google Translate? (smirk)
One more set of stanzas to go, but you might have to wait until tomorrow.. I'm dead tired, just fixed a MAJOR stop-ship problem, and I want to go home and drink myself insensenate - not a good state to be penning epic poetry in! (evil smirk)
Eeeeeeee Google Translate really struggles with my language!
And I maintain that most of our epic poetry was written and created drunk. :D
Well, let's get you drunk then (^_^)d. I'll buy first round ;-).
(it doesn't have to be an award-winning translation you know - it just looks cool with all the little circles 'n things ... you could probably just recite your shopping list and it would read epically ;-) ).
Well, ok, you've got me there, but I am not a hardy Finnish bard! Chortle...
I won't keep you waiting for the grand finale past tomorrow, don't worry!

I just got back home from my friends' home warming party and we had a big bottle of Bulgarian (!?!?) rum there. Amongst other drinks.

Okay, sounds like you're well-primed to start on epic translations then ;-).
Now, repeat after me:
Ennen vanhaan mailla jään
Joskus kalastusta ei ollut niin mukavaa
Viking veneitä vesi kylmä
Täynnä sotureita niin rohkea ...
>_<</p>

See, now that just LOOKS epic right out of the box! Too cool!
I have to stop and buy more beer on the way home, then maybe a BURGER MADE WITH CHEESE to celebrate getting this damned new hardware working. Argh! And onion rings, too, dang it!!
*wince* Ouch.
Olaf And the Kilometer Long Pike - The Finale
Olaf smiled as crowds did cheer
Looking forward to a beer
Maybe he would sit a-bench
Swiving with a frisky wench
Olaf grinned and felt a glow
Hot enough to melt the snow
Skalds would sing as strings they'd strike
About his victory over the pike
He would get his greatest wish
And feast for months on this huge fish.
Swift the beach-head growing near
Olaf felt a twinge of fear
He grabbed the pike-neck with a frown
The giant fish would not slow down
Fins were thrashing, tail did stroke
The kilometer-long pike did go for broke
Faster faster through the ocean
Olaf discerned the fishes notion
It came to him in a sudden flash
The darn fish was going to crash.
.
.
Suddenly the pike did hit the shore
And kept going further more
Crushing bards, and women, and men
The toy vendors got done in
Crushed by massive fishy scales
That could easily knock off whales
Into the village the pike did reach
But still could stretch right to the beach
A few quick rolls and that was that
The pike had smashed the village flat.
.
.
Olaf fell stunned to the ground
Surrounded by the awful sound
Of crying children, women too
But there was nought that he could do
The giant pike writhed to the water
Slipped back in just like an otter
Ridicule and lots of scorn
Was heaped on Olaf, as he mourned
Oh poor Olaf, he could never win
As kilometer-long pike gave him the fin.
.
.
The End... for now!
Now I can spend the weekend NOT worrying about Olaf and that darned pike! I hope you all enjoyed it.. I'm going to post it on my Red Room authors page as a parody/comedy piece.
Almost time to leave.. I need to clean up and pack up before heading for the bus. Catch you all later!
AWESOME! Thanks, Wooly!
...there's a whole 'nother thread which was started concerning this. It has been merged with a slightly older thread on the topic.

Ah, but I feel a sequel coming! Olaf's Revenge

Heheh great! *cheers* \(^_^)/
that happened to me once. i was waiting for the 7 P.M. bus. I was sitting down, then i went to stand up. bus had green light but drove by me. happened long time ago. had to call for a ride because the next bus would come one hour later. had i missed the 6 p.m. bus,, i would've caught the 6:30 bus.
...dealt with this a lot as the stop I waited at was not always well lit. Ended up carrying a mini Maglite™ with me which I would turn on and wave as I saw the bus approaching a few blocks away (those little buggers are bright).
This spring there was an article in the local fishwrapper which brought to light the scary fact that many drivers/tram operators were working long shifts (sometimes on only 2 - 4 hours of sleep, I kid you not) after a bus knocked over a rail crossing signal gate and a light rail tram smashed through the barrier at the end of the line when the operators dozed off at the controls. Fortunately both bus and tram were empty at the time. It also included accounts of passengers who saw their driver nod off at a red light and or while the bus was actually moving.
Wouldn't doubt that a lot of the "pass ups" I and others experienced were not related to this.
...unfortunately the only one I could find (a freebie) was for 3DS.

Open it in Hexagon, if it isn't a scene file, but object file, then send to DAZ Studio.
...epic indeed!
Now I have to fire up Bryce as I've imported 3ds/.lwo ,objs into it before. Time to go "fishing" for that Pike freebie I found years ago before I realised Daz & 3DS were not compatible. Such an epic poem needs an epic illustration (so don't expect anything real "soon" now)

...I have Bryce which should also work. If I have to mess with a modeller I'll import it into Blender instead. Last time I tried to convert a model in Hex it kept freezing up on me.

Thanks but my smart content is not working right now. I keep trying to start the content service but it is not doing anything.

Just use the old fashioned (and more reliable) way! You don't have to use smart content, especially when you were just pointed to exactly where to look.

Didn't mean that to sound rude.
