Heh, that's a good one.

[Turnsky]

it's a little too big though..

at 50 x 25

and weighing in at just over 6k it wouldn't make a valid entry..

unless..

PLEEASE?

[ZylonBane]

Hmmm.... well, the size constraint is due to Shrike's panicy reactions to his smiley box being disorganized... ask him. I'd love to see what you guys can come up with regardless.
