Fun little game: Part Deux (Oct 10, 2007)
-
Ingabord's super-human sensibilities have already tipped her off to Tim's extra curricular activities. She knows that Tim and Carla have been working on a SketchUp model of their entire town and that their inability to let go of details has taken them over the edge of sanity. She realizes that she is going to have to stop them from . . .
-
....trying to run their model through a rendering program. With all the parameters and surfaces (it is the entire town, after all) it will take forever. But before Ingabord can do anything about it, she must deal with her own demon - she's become addicted to Sketchucation, and exchanging very private messages with....
-
...herself. Upon realizing this she checks herself into...
-
.......creating a component of the boss to but plunging to his death of the clock tower. suddenly they here cackling laughter behind them at the wall socket. Tom is there, with an evil grin across his face. The PC goes dead only leaving the back up with the plunging boss.........
-
...screaming like a girl...
-
..."Oh the humanity, the humanity!"
Meanwhile, across town, the office tea boy (whatever that is) is sitting in a coffee shop (ironic, huh?) with his laptop, playing around with SketchUp.
-
Of course being an office tea boy (whatever that is) he was modeling his tea cup (he's not very imaginative) in the coffee shop (yes, ironic) and quietly singing to himself, "I'm a little tea pot short and stout...."
-
Which was even more ironic, since the office tea boy (whatever that is) is tall and skinny. While grappling with the task of trying to model his teacup, the office tea boy (whatever that is) looked up and saw someone he recognized from their avatar on the sketchucation website. It was none other than....
-
...Eric Lay. But he was still wearing his mask so his true likeness remains concealed. Still, the office tea boy (whatever that is) was happy that somebody would finally talk to him. Too bad it wasn't a woman as the office tea boy (whatever that is) is rather lonely.
-
Excited to see Eric Lay, the lonely office tea boy (whatever that is) jumped out of his seat, grabbed his lap top, and started to rush towards Eric, calling "Boo! Boo!" In his eagerness to show off his modeled tea cup (which looked more like a coffee mug - more irony), the lonely and ironic office tea boy (whatever that is) forgot his laptop was plugged in. With a sudden jerk, the office tea boy (whatever that is)went flying backwards, crashing into a table occupied by none other than.....
-
...Ross Macintosh! This incident is where his trademark expression originated. Ross is mighty agitated but on seeing office tea boy (whatever that is)'s SketchUp model on the laptop screen which is now lying on the pavement, he cooled down and helped office tea boy (whatever that is) to his feet.
Eric Lay had come to meet Ross and is extremely amused by the incident happening infront of him.
-
Amused, yet chagrined too. For Eric Lay was there to meet Ross and the other members of the Secret Society of the Sketchucation Seven, and he wasn't counting on them being discovered by an office tea boy (whatever that is). Eric was about to pull out his new iPhone to call Coen and apprise him of the situation, when...
-
...he forgot he does not own an iPhone. Then...
-
used his j-phone (the next model) to call the other members of the Secret Society of the Sketchucation Seven. The Sketchucation Seven arrived from where they were resting in their Hall of Sketches in time to . . .
-
...find Tinanne trying to distract the office tea boy (whatever that is) with Podium. But it was in vain. Although a bit dim, the office tea boy (whatever that is) was not a complete imbecile, and he already noticed all the people he recognized from Sketchucation.
"Egads!" cried Ross in wide-eyed surprise, "He's...
-
...drinking coffee, how ironic." "I have never...
-
......been able to get the hang of that copying into an array. but the tut from the forum got me up to speed."....
-
and the speed from the caffeine in the coffee made all the difference. Then, understanding how to use an array, he . .
-
...returned to the office where he found panic had ensued after he left because he....
-
had left his sketchup model in 2d format. Discumbobulated from their lack of tea - the office tea boy (whatever that is) had been away too - the office staff couldn't comprehend that what they were actually seeing on his screen was actually a 3d model (they weren't very bright when it came to SU and weren't aware one could view the models in 2d). Aware that there presentation was only mere months away, they succumbed to mass hysteria. Suddenly...
