A month ago, RipHamilton32 submitted ‘Rip Digital Cable 3’ to the MPRRS, and we hosted it. More recently, he submitted ‘Rip Digital Cable 4’ – and the MPRRS reviewers liked this one, too. Again, it’s a series of TV show spoofs, presented as though someone was channel surfing. Some clever sketches! Grab this in WMP9…

Whoa. Mig posted a note on our forum, showing a large photo (120k) of the posters, back from the printer – those look AMAZING! Here’s the deal: as of right now, there are 58 people entered in the raffle. (I’m unclear as to why someone would buy a shirt and NOT enter the raffle… but…

Four in a row from the PunMeister – I’d tell him to slow down, but this one is just so… appropriate. Go read today’s One One Se7en.

Remember Boltofaire’s ceramic Master Chief? He finished it. He’s not happy with how it turned out… but I think he’s being overly critical; it’s pretty darned cool.
