Friday Q&A

Questionable Incubation

Greetings, crickets and trolls. Welcome to another edition of the Friday Q&A. This weekly feature deals with issues facing the Photoshop community at Fark. Consider it to be your one-stop shop for information pertaining to that specific niche. From its humble origins, to its current humble state, I've always tried to make the Picture Clinic as accurate as possible. Of course, I've also tried to hone the accuracy of my aim whilst urinating. Ask my bathroom rug how that particular aspiration has worked out.
This is a secret message!
Q: Is the queue looking better?

A: It would appear so. And, as stated last week, no action was required on my part. I hereby take full credit for solving the crisis, despite my not having actually done anything. You can thank me later. Or now. Yes, do it now. I'm not looking for anything big, just your sincerest gratitude and whatever cash you might have.
You're stupid!
Q: What are you going to complain about next?

A: I see no reason for moving on to another rant, when there still seems to be plenty wrong with Fark's queue of upcoming contests. The dearth of themes is a glaringly obvious. A more subtle issue concerns the length of time given before each thread goes public. This week, instead of having several days to work on entries, TotalFarkers had only two or three days before any given contest would reach the main page. The issue has been cleared up to a large degree, but I'm still going to bitch about it. Given the cyclical nature of problems on Fark, this rant will most likely be valid again in a short matter of time.
Just kidding, that's not a secret.
Q: Can't you just Photoshop faster?

A: Some people like to spend a bit more time crafting their image. Two days is hardly enough for a thread to develop. It takes a while to isolate the gold pixels for transplant onto the subject's mouth. I suppose image mangling is a lot like making love. You can bang one out quickly, or take your time and make sure everything is done to its fullest potential. Either way, make sure to root around in the girl's purse when she's in the bathroom, in case she has any good pills. I get 90% of my estrogen this way.

That's all for this time, gentle reader. I want to thank all the submitters who helped get us out of this most recent Photoshop drought. Though my own bombastic rhetoric was what most likely ended up making the difference, it should be noted that every little bit counts.

Stay tuned for more faint praise from the Doctor!
