The CoB - Church of Bourdon Thread!

[Ravynlee]

Okay, reposting this so that people who didn't see it prior to me losing the proverbial plot (since when did I have it to begin with??) can um, like, see it I guess.

 

 

CoB COMPETITION DETAILS:

 

I think a comp for a CoB logo should run until the end of the month, maybe next month. We should have it start now (19th Dec) and run til Rob's b'day on the 20th Jan 06. That's a month technically.

 

Things to include;

1) The words CoB or Church of Bourdon, so we know what it's about.

2) At least one pic, whole or in part, or as many as you can cram in, of Rob. Cause he's like the reason we carry on these shenanigans in the first place, right? Kinda redundant if we don't - like Christianity without the Christ. Won't happen otherwise.

 

Theme:

I think for the sake of fairness we can use whatever colour, theme, style etc we want. If you're a whiz then knock yourself out. If you're like me just play and see what you come up with.

 

Size limitations:

Stick to usual sig and avatar guidelines or at least make sure it can be resized appropriately to fit when/if the image is chosen.

Avatars - 100x100 pixels

Sigs - 175 pixels high x 500 pixels wide (as far as I can recall)

 

Voting:

We shall vote amongst ourselves. But I'm sure I reckon we could pull in a mod or two to officiate (Vash or Viking, in the least, if they're willing to play along) so that I don't get accused of bias. That way I can play too, maybe, yeah? Sound fair?? See what y'all think... comp will start tomorrow (20th Dec and END 20th Jan 06)

 

Eligability:

Open to all forum residents, not just CoBers. That's fair huh?

Lets make our mystified lord proud - if not more confused than ever...

 

BTW - you can enter as many times as you like. The more the better really, prolly cause we'll be lucky to see about three entries I'm guessing, but hopefully four

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------

 

Well, I have started something... I actually have no idea what I'm doing. It started off as an 'Infinity' shape and I thought I'd represent something Jewish (not cause I am, but in homage to worshipping a Jew, dare I put it like that *looks sceptical*) and threw in a really abstract menorah for good measure. Then adding the CoB letters I stood back and went - this looks like a tribal tattoo design rather than a logo. So far there's no Rob, and I don't even think I'm gonna persue it much further, it's visually confusing, (and there's almost nowhere to put Rob) but I just wanted to upload to show you guys that even with basic paint programs crappy-crap like this tidbit can be done.

Here's my drivel;

It's a start - not a great one but a start. So now I've set the bar so low that it can be crawled over, there should be no excuses! *cackles*

I'll leave y'all to think about it some more... but consider this; CoB notoriety throughout the forums for he/she who wins! Hmm... that's like, the equiavlent to, I dunno, something craptacular I guess to everyone unaffiliated with us. Bah! Yee of little faith... Let he who is without sin shoot first and ask questions later... no wait... *laughs*

 

Well. Thanks for your time.

Rusu - psychadelia and Bree. Love it. Ravynfull - very perceptive/clever!

BlackAngel - *hugs*

Phi -

 

Take care and TTYL,

[Rusu_luvs_LP_4ever]

these are my entrys for the contest. I dont have an avatar to go with it but this wont be the last one I do n_n I can promise you that. I just have too much time on my hands

[Black_Angel]

Cool sigs Rav and Phi ^.^

[meteora500]

Woah...haha...I was just kidding about the whole logo thing...but this is cool though! Very exciting. But I don think I'll be able to enter it either because Im kinda useless when it comes to photoshop and stuff...and I dont have any of those programs anyways, but if I get some free time in my computer class then I'll definatly try to cook something up. But so far everything looks really good!

[Rusu_luvs_LP_4ever]

It says that anyone on lpf can enter the competition, but do anyone outside of CoB actually know a sig competition is going on?

[meteora500]

Hmm...thats actually a very good point you have there Ruth...heh...time to do some advertising I guess?...I dunno...

 

Anywho...wow...I just made my very first sig! Im frickin amazed...I used paint a little bit...and this other program thats a bit like photoshop but not really kinda thing...ya know? I think it came with like my sisters digi cam or something...I dunno. But yeah...

 

http://www.offtopic.forum/data/MetaMirrorCache/ff6a6c886f7d9252aba80cdc4f0240d4.jpg

 

its kinda plain...but its all good right? So...I guess that my entry, maybe if Im feeling adventurous(sp?) Ill try and make another one.

[Ravynlee]

Does anyone outside the CoB know about the comp? In answer to that - no.

 

I didn't want to attract the negative elements really, those that bag us here (and there's been the odd one or two) but left it open for the curious few that wander through that aren't actually afiliated with us. It is open to all, I guess I was trying to play it safe. And to be honest I really didn't think anyone would contribute *hangs head in shame* but for once I'm glad to be proved wrong. *grin*

If anyone wants to go about spreading the word - go for it. Might add something to my own sig to promote it later me thinks. *strikes a thoughtful pose* Later. My butts alseep. Need to unplug for a while. Hmm.

 

Hil, that Sig is awesome! *laughs* Humour is always great. Rob's so droolworthy.

 

I'll be back on later with more. Best of luck guys! Keep up the GREAT work! (Feel all proud now)

*huge Bourdie bear hugs*

TC & TTYL,

[Rusu_luvs_LP_4ever]

lmao! thats so funny hil!!! lol...look at his face...awwww :3

[Ravynlee]

Hey, well, here's something else I've been working on. Not sure about it still, may work more on it but knowing me I'll play around with a few more things as well. This is what I whipped up this morning - incorporating that pyschadelic tribal thing I did yesterday.

This is it so far;

 

http://www.offtopic.forum/data/MetaMirrorCache/afa80f9f8c98328fe13d9d8ebb9df874.jpg

 

Well, Rob's still droolworthy at least. And I seem to be going through this 'Blue' phase (like Picaso!) so you'll have to bear with me at the mo.

Hmm.

I'm outties.

Take care and huge hugs and talk again soon. Keep 'em comin' guys - show the love, Bourdie style.

 

-Rav

[meteora500]

Oh I like that sig rav! Very sexy! Heh...well I put a little ad in my sig if thats ok...much better than mine! But I guess you obviously have done much more than 1 sig so yeah...anywho...just stopping bye to see if anything exciting has happened.

[Rusu_luvs_LP_4ever]

sexual sig dood! Is blue your favourite colour? Just wondering

 

Hey, your avatar has hebrew in it...I think the top line is trying to say Rob? Don't have a clue about the bottom line, however...what is it saying? Resh and vowls (sp?) with no letter on top of it...*is confused*

Well spotted Rusu. Yes actually the top line is Rob in a form, but not written correctly. The dot (vowel substitute for 'O') should actually be above the b if I remember correctly - have to look that up. Give me a break, I'm not fluent in anything, including my native tongue of Strain (or Australian slang )But the bottom line is R A V reversed. I'm not jewish therefore I 'wrote' my name backwards (in Hebrew or the right way in English) as a kind of tongue-in-cheek thing. But still very perceptive. (Actually, the font I used isn't strictly Hebrew but Tiberian-Hebrew, using vowel substitutes for the Hebrew Alef-bet, which technically has none - depending on who your sources are. That prolly explains why you can't 'read' it. Not only is it backwards but the vowels that shouldn't be there are where they would normally fall in English. Weird I know, but visually better to me at least than the literal translation of both names into proper Hebraic form. Hmm). *feels like a school teacher*

 

But well done. You know me, everything has meaning - even the most menial things. The 'blue' period I'm going through was rather accidental to begin with but kind of evolved into it's own. Pablo Picasso went through a similar period, I refered to that on my journal post earlier I think. Anyway, if I have a fav colour it is black. But being that black isn't technically a colour but a shade, my fav colour is actually red.

To prove that I made an alternate to my current sig (one red, one blue) but the blue one matched my avatar at the time which is why I didn't upload the red. I should post it now so you can see what I mean and compare the two;

 

http://www.offtopic.forum/data/MetaMirrorCache/ec0269314471dfbcf3205ab3ca6bff2c.jpg

Anyway, it's still visually face-grabbing but too intense I think. Rob appears more sedate by nature so blue 'suits' him more than red. The red is almost too out-there and glowing - like a fire. Rob's not firey unless you happen to put him in front of a set of drums then he goes into his 'happy place' (the 'zone') and goes rank in a savage and spectacular way. Anyway, tell me what you think.

 

Hil, the addition to your sig is AOK with moi. But as for anything exciting? Um... prolly not til after Xmas I'd rekon. Unlike me most people are prolly with family now doing the festive thing - can't hold that against them. But I'm still here, ploddin' along. Glad to see y'all are too. And Rusu. *aww*

*hugs*

 

Well, that's it for now. Thanks for the praise guys. Sexual sig? Laughable. But droolworthy - most definately... *swoons and collapses in a heap on the floor*

 

Take care guys. Be good. This may be my last CoB post before Xmas (staying at a friend's place tomorrow night) so I won't be online - *sob again* - so Merry Xmas to y'all, stay safe, happy and healthy and look forward to more madness when this festive madness if finally behind us for another year at least!

 

<333 2 da CoBers (oh, and the rest of the forum too... hehehe)

 

-Rav

[Black_Angel]

Cool sigs Rav and Hil ^.^

 

Happy Xmas to you too Rav, and everyone else in the CoB *huggums* xD

[Rusu_luvs_LP_4ever]

yes yes, Merry Christmas to all! Hope you get jiggy wid it, nananananana....

[meteora500]

Merry Christmas everybody! And I'll talk to you in the New Year (or sooner)! X-Mas kisses (on the cheek ) for everybody in the CoB and random popper-inners!

[Pheonix791989]

yeah everyone have a happy christmas

[Ravynlee]

Well, now that the drama's over for another year, hope everyone survived and is still doing well. *hugs*

 

Of course, here's hoping to another year at least of incessant drooling, manic carrying on, fantasizing, perplexing and spontaneous role playing and general all-round Rob-worship. *awww* Gotta love this place... makes no sense but it's kinds like everything else in life. All this lunacy can't possibly be good for a person, but I want more anyway. As Rusu would say, it's 'sexual chocolate.' *cacks* Great.

 

And looks offended @ Hil for the kisses-stipulation. Just kidding. I don't mind virtual kisses cause really they're harmless (as in non-physical and no fluids of any kind are swapped - laughs - hmm) but most of us here have participated in at least one RP-CoB-orgy from time to time, so having to say kiss-on-the-cheek made me laugh for obvious reasons. Since when have you been so shy around us? XDDD That's hilarious. Or maybe I'm just more perverse than I first thought? *raises a Rob-brow* That's a very real possibility. Who'd think I'm the shy quiet church-mouse type in RL? *evil smirk* We don't tempt people over to the so-called 'dark side' with milk and cookies... we have other ways to convert you... kinda... *sigh* (I'll never be a James Bond villan with crappy one-liners like that)

 

Anyway... whatever I was talking about - don't know. But being we're in Rob's thread I'll just *drool* mention his name again (any excuse to type those three frequently typed letters that should practically be faceless on my keyboard, 'eh - No, not Rav! Sheesh! ) and squeeze/tackle/bear hug you all then run off again for another day. Or afternoon. Or half an hour. Hell, I should stay online, 'eh? Um, no. But take care, *hugs* and talk again.

 

<3 to all the CoBers - love in any form you deem necessary *wink* y'all should know me well enough by now XD Oh, and I didn't get Rob nekkid under the Xmas tree this year so I'm gonna boycot Xmas next year and just buy him on eBay instead. Much easier and less disappointment.

 

TC & TTYL,

 

-Rav

[Pheonix791989]

its all good. lots of rob hugs as christmas presents. I didnt get rob as a present either (pouts) I wanted him so bad but you know -_-* meh that was wrong

[Rusu_luvs_LP_4ever]

lmao! Another great rant...haha...

 

Lol, you wanted him so bad

[Ravynlee]

Yeah, I did *sigh* Oh well, maybe next year. Or else I'm gonna stop being nice altogether - there's no profit to be had, plus it's more fun in my experience being perverted and naughty. Oh wait, maybe that explains it... *grin*

Oh well... eBay, here I come! *evil laughter*

 

On another note Rusu - love your sig! You're so psychadelic! Love that vibe!

 

And along similar lines, for the CoB contest, thought rather than keep changing my sig, I'd just upload my offerings here at this thread, rather than confuse anyone (*ahem* myself) so here 'tis so far...

1st one is courtesy of another creator called Biolatti. Met her over at LPU5 recently. Very talented. Used her pics as a base. She's as mad for Rob as we all are so that's cool (well, maybe not me hehehe. But hopefully she jumps on board here sometime in the future, she said she would. More Rob-lovin' is never a bad thing... um... unless you're Rob and you're the one actually being stalked by a bunch of weird obsessive-compulsive types... yeah... *looks thoughtful*

Poor man.

 

The 2nd and 3rd ones I mucked around with today. Just playing APU. Hopefully they turned out all right. Shall see. I'll play around more but these are just basic... maybe not as eye-catching as Phi's or Rusu's but a start none-the-less. Told you I had too much time on my hands lately *groan*

 

Anyways,

that's all. Just postin' them. Hope everyone's good and had fun this Xmas. Hope Santa was kind. If anyone got a nekkid Rob under their tree this Xmas then forward him to me, cause Santa in his delusional state must have left him at the wrong house. Sure of it. XD

 

Take care and as always, talk again real soon.

-Rav

[Pheonix791989]

yours are good rav. I'm not even that professional with mine. they beat mine out any day. Besides I just learned how to work my paintshop last year in art class. boy was that a mess up. >< but yours rock

[Ravynlee]

Why thanks!

But credit where it is due I like your colours - I'm not a bright colourful person, but I admire those that are. Comes through in your work. You can tell a lot about a person by looking at their sig/avatars I find. Hmm. Getting all deep and meaningful again. Time for more chocolate... *grin*

 

*hugs*

-Rav

 

BTW - when are y'all coming on to AIM?

[Pheonix791989]

XD (hands you extra large godiva chocolate) have fun. my personal favorite one has the bubles in the back grounds

[Rusu_luvs_LP_4ever]

Woah, I have to say Rav, no offence to the others, but quoting from Brad

 

"That's the shit right there!"

 

So good, I really like the last one, just has a certain feel too it...a Rob like feel. Not that I've ever felt him. That'd be the day *rolls eyes at self*

maybe not as eye-catching as Phi's or Rusu's but a start none-the-less

eah, I like colours! It doens't really suit Rob's personality though >< Yeah, I don't have photoshop, so it involved taking screen shots of media player to get the background...I'm such a cheat!
