@ircon96@phendrick I wouldn’t want one either; but have you noticed all the weird variations you can get for margaritas? So it’s not that improbable. And now martinis come in totally ridiculous flavors. I’ve read that bartenders hate those.
@Kyeh@phendrick I’m not up on my booze trends, since i don’t drink, but I’ve seen enough popular culture programming to know that margaritas & martinis are prime alcoholic real estate for crazy concoctions. So, it’s true, nothing is surprising these days, much to the chagrin of those poor, crotchety bartenders!
This looks like the paper can be refilled with a standard Post-It note square…can anyone confirm? Also, the inclusion at the end of the specs of a formulaic material composition percentage is interesting!
Did anyone else see that Mad Ape Den video of Irk singing, “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” before they switched it to the product video, or do i need to up my meds?
@Kyeh i was assuming some of the $100 would have gone toward licensing fees, but then again, you’re right, considering the site we’re on, that’s a big assumption!
@Kyeh@phendrick You need to hurry up & grab that domain! Parents would probably pay you good money if they could have their refrigerators back. What good is paying all that money for a Sub-Zero if nobody can see it? You’re a genius!
@Kyeh@phendrick Omg, i can’t tell you how much i love roasts! They’re my favorite comedy format, i consider them practically my religion. It’s been a few years since Comedy Central produced one, it’s about time they get on it! Hey, i just realized, THAT’S what i want Santa to bring me!
Too bad this doesn’t have some kind of feedback grading system. Good drawings could be rewarded with encouraging statements like “wow that’s really great! Let’s do another!” to more realistic comments like “maybe drawing isn’t your thing. Let’s make a sign that says ‘anything helps’.”
@marilevans Sadly, Art Instruction Schools was defunct as of 2018, according to Wikipedia. No more drawing anthropomorphic turtles & pirates as a talent test. <sigh>
@zhicks1987 She’ll probably like it. Personally, I’m just dissing the idea that copying those dumb little cartoons is a good way to learn how to draw, but I could definitely be wrong. Maybe it’ll give kids confidence to draw more and be really creative. If nothing else it’s probably just fun!
@ohhwell How else will they learn? Maybe Meh will offer one of those canine correction collars & you can DIY it. I would never use one on my dog, but I’m all for rug rat discipline!

Something looks fishy about this deal.
Yuck, those little drawings are terrible, except the one of Irk! I wouldn’t want my kids to “learn” how to draw like that.
@Kyeh Uh oh, looks like you & @andyw are about to have “words”
@andyw @ircon96 Uh, in that case - Gee, those little drawings are GREAT! Yeah! Super duper! Neato keen!!!
@andyw @Kyeh
They used my drawings as the lessons! Where did they get them, since I only did them last week.
Can this be used to draw a margarita?
How about it drawing a pint of warm ale?
@phendrick How about conclusions? Bridges? Playing cards? I got a million of 'em!
@ircon96 @phendrick
/showme pint of warm ale, in style of barista
@phendrick If your kids are drawing these, Social Services might be coming by for a chat with you.
@Kyeh @phendrick Don’t worry, they’ll just add that to their list.
/showme drawing of a margarita
@mediocrebot @kyeh
Now that would make a great placemat design!
@Kyeh @phendrick Although I’m not sure I’d care for a pickle &/or green pepper margarita.
@ircon96 @Kyeh Those are for the burgers and fajitas the margarita washes down.
@ircon96 @phendrick
I think it’s a jalapeño margarita.
@Kyeh @phendrick Yum! I’ll take the burger & fajita combo, you can have my margarita!
@phendrick @Kyeh The jalapeño would be worse for me, cuz i need something creamy with anything spicy. Creamy + margarita = no bueno!
@ircon96 @phendrick I wouldn’t want one either; but have you noticed all the weird variations you can get for margaritas? So it’s not that improbable. And now martinis come in totally ridiculous flavors. I’ve read that bartenders hate those.

Did anyone else see that Mad Ape Den video of Irk singing, “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” before they switched it to the product video, or do i need to up my meds?
@ircon96 I didn’t, but I didn’t look at the video right away either.
@Kyeh I only clicked on it cuz Irk was so adorable in his Santa hat!
@ircon96 I prefer the Capitol Steps version, “Have Yourself A Very Little Christmas”. It’s one of the few “seasonal” things I can stomach.
/showme cartoon people with cauliflower hands
They named it Pixter, cuz if they had called it Pixar, it would have cost $100 more.
@ircon96 It would cost THEM
a whole lot more, paying for copyright infringement!
@ircon96 @Kyeh Is “Pixterest” available for the name of a site to post the kids’ drawings?
@Kyeh i was assuming some of the $100 would have gone toward licensing fees, but then again, you’re right, considering the site we’re on, that’s a big assumption!

@ircon96 @Kyeh And the site could earn advertising $$ by hosting ads for MorningSave, Zulily, Hasbro toys, and birth control pills.
@ircon96 @phendrick
I agree about grabbing that domain - quite inspired!
@ircon96 @phendrick
Or is he a SubGenius?
@Kyeh @phendrick
…or, just a plain ol’ zero? This is turning into a roast. And I’m here for it! Lol
@ircon96 @Kyeh Too late in the day for me to think of some “roast” retorts, so here (NSFW or sensitive people):
@ircon96 @phendrick Dang! He doesn’t hold back - his roasts are brutal!
!
Like seriously burnt
@Kyeh @phendrick Omg, i can’t tell you how much i love roasts! They’re my favorite comedy format, i consider them practically my religion. It’s been a few years since Comedy Central produced one, it’s about time they get on it! Hey, i just realized, THAT’S what i want Santa to bring me!
Awesome! Another screen to give me more excuses to ignore my kids! Electronic babysitters to the rescue!
OWLS! TOWELS! JOWLS! AWESOME!

@tweezak Art Instruction Schools used to do that for my generation:
Or, this very blunt parody is much more realistic!
@tweezak thanks for the laugh tonight.
@tweezak And the classic…
@ircon96 @tweezak This is still around? amazing
@tweezak @werehatrack Omg, i haven’t seen Father Guido in ages! Thanks for the reminder.
@marilevans Sadly, Art Instruction Schools was defunct as of 2018, according to Wikipedia. No more drawing anthropomorphic turtles & pirates as a talent test. <sigh>
wait, not “Put MEH in, Coach”!?
I am not getting it unless it comes with the Pixter stickers
I’m a little salty because I purchased one of these at SideDeal and now it’s cheaper here with cheaper shipping. Not cool, meh.
@aarond12 how do you like it? can you put in your own custom ‘templates’?
Put me in coach? No way, man. I’m business class.
/giphy looking-good billy-ray
Could it help me draw the next winning numbers in Powerball?
if that is not a stocking stuffer i dont know what is.
/giphy cherished-grateful-list
welp
/giphy grateful-overjoyed-keepsake
My kids draw better than me. Hopefully they’ll buy me this.
Funny how the email says, “Is it worth the 8 dollars?” when it actually costs NINE dollars.
(Your $0.99 shenanigans aren’t fooling anybody.)
My kids had the original Pixter. Didn’t use it much.
/image pixter
Yep, that’s it.
I bought it for my niece. Is there a reason people are poo-pooing it?
@zhicks1987 She’ll probably like it. Personally, I’m just dissing the idea that copying those dumb little cartoons is a good way to learn how to draw, but I could definitely be wrong. Maybe it’ll give kids confidence to draw more and be really creative. If nothing else it’s probably just fun!
I feel like 90s kid me would have wanted this and my parents would have decided 9 bux was too much for it.
Man I really am becoming my parents …
@alchyilee It happens to the best of us. It’s almost inevitable.
Will it give my kids a mild electric shock when they mess up? If not, meh.
@ohhwell How else will they learn? Maybe Meh will offer one of those canine correction collars & you can DIY it. I would never use one on my dog, but I’m all for rug rat discipline!
