My Bucket is Copyrighted
There's an LJ community,

gothic_babes, for fashion/modelling/photography/camwhoring. A recent post was made in which the OP generally looks for constructive criticism about her modelling. Comments are fairly tame. Someone, apparently, makes a less-than-constructivecomment about the OP's weight, and is banned. The OP reacts quite graciously and doesn't let it ruffle her feathers.

Meanwhile, the now-banned commenter feels the need to vent. The response, initially, is mainly, "GTFO and stop failing."

That is, until the OP from gothic_babes appears and, in a sudden feather ruffling, feels the need to educate the community about copyright.

The community makes varying attempts at reason. The OP is not interested.

	I seem to remember playing an old, old Mac game called Manhole, and there was a walrus in a writing desk. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	How is a walrus like a writing desk? (I guess that's what they're getting at, or maybe I'm just confused.) OT: I never had a Mac, but I do remember the original Castle Wolfenstein. The original, original Castle Wolfenstein with the clicking sound effects. No one ever knows what I'm talking about because it ran on the Apple II I believe. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I didn't play games like that. I had Manhole (which didn't work, so you couldn't actually finish the game) and Lemmings. And, oh, Hangman, some kind of 'find your way to the end of the map' puzzle game, stuff like that. I think my love of puzzle games came early. XD; (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

You couldn't actually finish the game? That fits right in with having a walrus in a writing desk.

I think if you finished Castle Wolfenstein you defeated Hitler, but I'm not sure. The only reason I really remember is that someone much younger than I am was saying "I ever remember that ancient game Castle Wolfenstein" and I was very confused because apparently he remembered a not-as-ancient later version on another platform.

	I dunno if the game even had an ending. =o It was a precursor to Myst. I have the DOS version with music :D (Reply to this)(Parent)

	How is a walrus like a writing desk? Carroll wrote on both? (Reply to this)(Parent)
