A dyslexic walks into a bra.
A guy walks into a doctor's office:
"Doc, you gottta help me -- I think I'm a moth!"
"But I'm a General Practitioner.
What you need is a Psychiatrist."
"Well, I was on my way to the Psychiatrist's office,
when I noticed your light was on..."
Granted, more are involved
With less of their time spent
In adding quality
To Gallery content
I wish I understood
The words of Durant Hapke
To lure him to this thread
I am sitting hopefully
I've no idea "D"
What you are saying
I am hoping you do
And not just mouth splaying
Your images are killer
Yet I've seen them before
Have you got a collection
I would like more, more, more
When gluing components
For a finish just right
This clamp will do nicely
For a joint that is tight
Outstanding style too
Have we seen it before
Easy on the eye
For your work to adore
After viewing the entries
Richard Woodcock will prevail
His simple Christmas gingerbread house
With icing of amazing detail
Congratulations Richard.
%(#800000)[Please remember the reason
For the wonderful season]
The eve before eve
Is upon us and how
So make your submissions
Five hours from now
Tom, the model you must share
So our judging will be fair
And so we have
Our second submission
Bring on some more
No need for permission

I will enter
if time permits;
But only if Willy plays
and not merely sits.
An entry from Us would not be wise
As We are the judges for you guys
A contribution We will make
To help you with your cookies or cake
His name is Jerry
And oh is he very
Good with small sweets
Like kiwi strawberry
His work is well known
A confection contractor
He even appeared
One night on Fear Factor
He is strong, well mannered
And so very handy
With his pretzel hammer
And tools made of candy
For cutting and sawing
Not hemming and hawing
For help with a ladder
Or ‘corn ceiling splatter
With butter caulk icing
In his tool belt
He’ll seal your house tight
So nothing will melt
In need of more help
With all of your work?
Just copy him left
And name that one Dirk
If you copy to the right
You can name this guy Fred
You simply cannot go wrong
With his skill’d gingerbread
If you copy him back
Name that new one Steve
Just keep a tight eye
‘Cause he likes to leave
Copy one to the front
Give him the name Gruber
He’s just what you need
A real master roofer
Jerry has a fine friend
Named Peabody Longfellow
He was lovingly made
Out of two big marshmallows
He’s not that much help
As you will find out
Lest you melt him down
And use him for grout
Have fun with your houses
As much as you can
Just try not to eat up
Our gingerbread man
For help from this worker
You’ll find he’s real quick
Here on this small image
You’ll need to mouse click
As Tom said this is a Wow of some kind
And reliving Dirk stirs up the dust in my mind
Your beautiful images still blow my head
Oh these houses should end up in gingerbread
As suggested in this so humble a thread
A competition to test the skills and the head
SketchUp must be the only tool
To make something that is so very Yule
We propose this holiday to construct a house
Small enough to please even a mouse
Made of candy, gingerbread and pastry
An abode of love that is ooh so tasty
There will be three judges
I tell you no lie
The esteemed panel consists
Of me, myself and I
Moderators please allow
This thread to be sticky
For we know not how
It seems to be tricky
You may render up your fine creation
For eye candy only, otherwise libation
Though lovely as renderings can seem to be
Modeling prowess this challenge shall see
Christmas Eve is the time we have set to decide
A winner to show off with glee and with pride
The prize? A warm fire-side feeling inside
Please post your submissions here in this thread
Candy houses decked with sugar’d gingerbread
The Eve before Eve you should post your abode
Then we will eat them all and pray not to explode
Who can enter? We say anyone
Except for the three of us
That would spoil the fun
Members, moderators, administrators all
No one will be left out of this auspicious call
So a competition we have laid out before this community
Presumptuous we may seem as we lurk with immunity
Post your creations and have loads of fun
And you can even enroll more than just one
Some separate peeps posted
By others for free
Or standard 2D peeps
That simply “face me”
Should do the trick, and make it stick
I’m still diggin’
Shots one and three
They have the most
Comfortable feel to me

On my knees...
continue how?
The colors you have chosen
Are just right for me
Only a minor change
Would I like to see
The bright green trees
Bring muse and life
Some say too bright
I say, “Just Right!”
With birds in flight
Bringing life and whimsy
Stale cardboard “peeps”
Just seem too “flimsy”
Now don’t take my words
As my brain tends to wander
Other’s opinions here
You must also ponder
Yet stay to your style
As it is wonderfully neat
Just please post the final
For all of us to see
Even though lurking is my style
Tom’s work has always made me smile
Life inserted those birds do bring
A cheery heart felt warmth of spring
Colors, man colors abound
Bringing 2d up off of the ground
While cheap peeps I’m happy you did share
Their place might be suited better elsewhere
Views one and three have caught my ear
For texture, life, song and cheer
