Depends on your definition of normal.

Well I'm glad that your a normal teacher. Thanks for the post. I don't feel like there all that way now (referring to my previous replay).

NUTTZ I have a question for you. My grandfather had a friend that was supposed to be a great western artist. His name was Mike Owens. Have you ever herd of him? I've been meaning to look him up on the web but his name slips my mind most of the time. I don't know why I remember it now. Any way just curious if you've ever heard the name.

Dadog, that looks kinda like a HTC future version planning sketch to me.  

I swear I saw something just like it when I visited HTC a while back.  

(I did the same type drawings in school, as did my sons)

Remember this show??

 

12:00 High. I was 11-12 years when this show ran.. saw a few episodes with my uncle. He thought pretty highly of it... told some good stories of his own. Made a hell of an impression on me.. been hung up on WWII Warbirds ever since.

Daddog, that is priceless. I wish I had kept mine.

The real funny thing is... that's what I do now for work!!! I'm a Technical Illustrator for a DoD laboratory, so I get to draw subs, planes, satellites... you name it... and get paid for it!

Sometimes I even make explosion noises while I draw  

So don't discourage your kids... doodling in math class pays off.

I got in trouble in school for making noises in 5th Grade...

while drawing my usual stick person war...

the overwieght 5th grade girl in front of me told on me for and i quote

"Ms. Stokes? Will you tell Will to stop making Rocket Noises?"

I felt so stupid!

but doodling does pay off...well sort off...maybe it makes you poorer?

I go to college for my artistic abilities

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

12 o'CLk HIGH wasn't on when I was growing up in the early 60's (at least not when I was watching) but Rat Patrol was, boy, I'd get all giddy waiting for that to come on TV.
