The Reject Wallpaper Thread

[Stramala]

Just had an idea, seeing as we have the Reject Avatar thread, we should have a reject Wallpaper thread. For example, I drew this up in the last couple of minutes;


(Click for 1280x768)

That was a pretty poor effort. I'm sure there are some people here that can do better. Let your creativity flow!

I can't draw up anything with a logo, but this is my current wallpaper:

Here's my wallpaper atm:

This is mine!

[dr-baker]

Mine is currently a picture of Roland Ratzenberger in the Simtek (in Aida, I think).

You're just waiting for someone to say 'nice pic' aren't you?

[AndreaModa]

Oh god not the Pic puns again!

[pasta_maldonado]

At least he Piced a good one

[Stramala]

I'm surprised it took so long for anyone to pic up on who was driving that Virgin.

[Klon]

That's why you got to be Pic-ky about your wallpapers.

[Nuppiz]

This is mine!

I was actually going to say that it looks very Picturesque.

Clever use of the facepalm there, instead of going for a generic one you chose Jean-Luc Picard.

Excellent analysis, my friend!

So this is another thread gone up the swanny

So this is another thread gone up the swanny

The scary thing is, this is occuring DURING an F1 season. This place will be a warzone in the off-season.

And before that, there is the mandatory factory shut-downs during summer to deal with

For any internet user that happens to stumble across the remnants of this forum, this is a final description of the events happening in the space between the 25 November 7 and the 10 January 8. To identify myself to allow a remote chance of my family being informed of my terrible fate, I was born on the 27 February -12 and have resided for the majority of these events in Tralee, Ireland and have just returned to Flensburg, Germany. The dates need to be adjust to common-used standards of time, the HWNSNBM calender has become part of my very nature.

This belief, which started as a jest, has become fundamentalists in its nature and heretics are being banned by the hour. The term "heresy" is becoming more and more broad, I am risking my own account stating these facts right now - but it needs to be done. It started out simple with farfetched arguments by a user called "kostas22" which argued in favour of giving the F1 driver called Michael Schumacher our special award for failure, the "Reject Of The Year". A remark in jest, to my everlasting shame, made by yours truly about the fact that "Schuhmacher" is the German term for shoemaker led to a debate about the quality of Reebok shoes and their influence on the in-ring performance of professional wrestler John Cena. That was the only the beginning and we should have noticed the signs, but our own lack of seriousness became our downfall. The introduction of a number of very short-lived virtual championships run with video games, calculating tools and - in one case - via table tennis were the next obvious symptom, each of which, whilst not long in time taken, had its effect on us, emotionally working like a minor case of radiation poisoning. Further losses where the debacle in the thread announcing the switch of Mexican race driver Sergio Perez to Ferrari, ending in a user called "aerond" claiming that his future wife would need to be able to create the greatest Béarnaise sauce in the world which made a return to the topic at hand impossible.

I lost hope of us being saved when the ISP of a sage moderator called "mario" made a fatal decision to update a number of cables which led to him being absent for four weeks, allowing insanity to roam, although most remained optimistic of a return to better days, mostly due to the positive influence of user "AndreaModa" and the webmaster of this site. What truly sealt our fate, what made our redemption, our return to common sense, impossible was the rebirth of a thread called "One-word Association Game", a minor game of words that follow which flooded the servers with irrelevant data and gave a user with the seemingly harmless name of "eurobrun" the control over the post counts, leading to a civil war which was fought out in arguments on whether Porsche or Honda was the most pathetic works effort in the 1964 Formula One season.

As systemic dementia Minardi, better known in our circles as "F1 deprivation syndrome", eats away the last few intelligent brain cells of mine, I do wish to warn you about the danger of Formula One and its commanding officer Bernie Ecclestone and beg you to do everything you can to ensure that nobody has to suffer the seemingly eternal punishment that our brains and possibly our souls suffer. With the last words, I would like to both thank André for always being a great friend, more than I deserved to have, and tell shinji that if the English dub wouldn't have been so god-awful, you would see that Digimon is better than Pokémon, despite not being so successful - it's like Rubens Barrichello and Jenson Button, there must be some sort of connection between the 2000 German Grand Prix and MetalGarurumon, maybe I can find it later. See? It consumes your mind. Tell the people!

For the glory of HWNSNBM!

I felt like doing so, that suffices as a reason.

I'm beginning to be scared out of my wits with this forum. I'm posting here because the heat in Madrid right now is so stiffling getting some sleep is very difficult. But some of you guys are already giving me the creeps. I might as well leave while I still can, with my head held high, having been a moderator and, for a long time, the user with the bigger number of posts (currently sitting 3rd, and I'm beginning to see patterns between me and professional tennis player Roger Federer). I need to get myself a life (not a Life, with a capital letter, mind you all).

[dinizintheoven]

On the other hand, I'm not scared out of my wits at all. Shortly, I am going to go out and have a life. Beer will, in all probability, be involved. Then, at gone midnight, I'll come home, probably drunk, and start designing logos for F1 teams that don't exist. Why have one or the other when you can have both? And, talking of wallpapers for those of you with a 1080p screen, for teams that don't actually exist, why not adorn your computer with Viking Racing's flag?

As for the heat in Madrid: here in the middle of England it's about 10°C and raining slightly. Phoenix... I laugh at your misfortune. You may want to retaliate, but I can tell you I have a coat, and you can't turn the sun off. Only Mr. Burns can do that.

And HWNSNBM.

Gosh, we're soooooo off topic. My current wallpaper:

No, that is mainly down to not being at home/having access to a computer.

Blimey, how ancient must your school computers be if they're still running Windows 95?!

So it seems no one has a HWNSNBM's wallpaper!

[dr-baker]

So it seems no one has a HWNSNBM's wallpaper!

1 And HWNSNBM spoke all these words:

2 “I am HWNSNBM your God, who brought you out of F2/F3000/GP2/World Series by Renault/DTM (delete as applicable), out of the land of bringing your own budget.

3 “You shall have no other gods before me.

4 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, HWNSNBM your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.

7 “You shall not misuse the name or image of HWNSNBM your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name or image."

Please, don't take offence if you think I am deliberately twisting the original text for humourous effect. I go to church twice every Sunday myself, plus the university Christian Union every Tuesday and a church home group every Wednesday. I ought to be as offended myself for misquoting the above passage from Exodus 20, but there it is...

[FullMetalJack]

This was my last wallpaper involving any form of F1 reject.

4 “[u][b]You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.

Oh, right...
I'm sorry, HWNSNMB, please, don't throw any papaya or pineapple on me!
