Teeny OK Go!

Tempe Arizona

"I enrolled in an art course at school. I'm so sick of all the hard courses they make you take, so I want something fun. I went to the artstore to buy the supplies the teacher told us to get. When I got home, I had no place to leave the things. Some of the things could go under my bed. But what about the other supplies? I dared not step foot in the coat closet. There were things in there that hadn't ever seen the light of day. That left....the pantry. I looked for a save, stable place to put the paint, someplace out of sight. I heard a squeal come from Little Damian's jam jar as I closed the cabinet. I panicked and flung open the door. He smiled innocently. I decided to cover the paint with some hankerchiefs to keep it out of sight. The next day, I woke at 8 am to get ready for art class. I had my eisel and brushes ready. Now, where did I leave the paint. Ah, yes, the pantry. I opend it to find an entire wall covered in colors of all varieties and inconsistencies. It was like every modern art artist you could think of got sick on the walls. The floor of that shelf was covered in little hand and foot prints. I could see the silloutte of Tiny Tim painted on a wall. The Teenys had probably covered Tiny Tim in paint and flung him at a wall. But Tiny Tim himself was nowhere to be seen. I'm right here, Tiny Tim said. They threw paint at me and now I'm stuck to the wall. There were paint covered potato chips and cheese doodles all over. We used these to add extra texture to the walls, Little Damian said. I noticed Runty Rusty in the corner snacking on the chips anyway. There's paint on some of those, Little Damian said. So what, I'm hungry, Runty Rusty replied. Yeah, I think we did a great job with these walls, Diminutive Dan said. Who asked you to waste my paint and destroy a whole shelf in my pantry! I shouted. I don't think she likes it, Diminutive Dan said. There's no pleasing everyone, Tiny Tim said, blending in with the wall. Dont worry. We'll have this place back to normal by the time you come back from school! Diminutive Dan said charmingly. So I went to school with what little messy paint I had left."

As are you.
Yep, adding OK Go as a friend is basically a no-brainer. I just want to make sure the page looks good before we do that. I actually decided that the pic I had found for the background won't work. If anyone can find a good kitchen pic or has a better background idea (we could just go simple flowery or paisley), speak up!
Edit: Geez, flood of posts as I was typing. 0_o

Edit again: Never mind, I just didn't realize we'd gone to page 2.

oh, haha i didn't even think of that. that makes perfect sense.

Runty Rusty: Lives in a can of spam. Has rigged up the back of the pantry with fancy electrical wiring in order to do computer programming, micro-man style. Has a large can opener as a lawn decoration. The other Teenys come over to borrow the swifters and Febreeze that spans Runty Rusty's enormous lawn.
P.S. Since spam is also a computer word and Rusty likes computers so, whoever came up w/ the idea for him to live in a can of spam is brilliant

i hate to point this out, being as you're doing such a brilliant job with these narratives! but do you mean Swiffers not Swifters?

and I agree, SPAM was an excellent choice. but of course, Runty Rusty would never spam just for fun.

Owner of Tiny Dami:


Several hours later, I woke up, needing a midnight snack. The kitchen was a mess! What had they done? I opened my pantry. You're probably wondering about the mess, Little Damian said from inside the jar. I looked past him to way in the back of the pantry. There were little glowing lights. I squinted to see, a Runty Rusty lounging in the can of spam as if it were a bathtub, typing away on a little teensy laptop. Uhh, I said. Hey, we had to make a mess when we got him out of the spam can and helped him set up his computer programming office. Uhh, I said. We'll have this place back to normal by the time you wake up! Diminutive Dan said charmingly. So I went to bed."

I love how the owner was speechless at the sight of Diminutive Dan. Poor Teeny Ok Go owner. Upon seeing her kitchen in a wreck, she mustve thuoght "It's a Disaster!"

heh i wonder if they painted any paisley?



about the Myspace bg, maybe we could get a view of a kitchen from a low angle (teeny OK Go's size) and then add in pictures of the lifesized Ok Go, making it look like they're really small. It could have potential.

Haha these are so good!
And I love how so many little things seem to connect to OK Go, like Tim blending into the wall, etc. !

Yes, you are right! I always mess that up. Just like I always call Tommy Hillfiger (sp?) Tommy Hillfinger. *Runs to fix it* Such good editing. Y'all keep the great ideas coming and write your own narratives too.

Sometimes they work for me, sometimes they don't, and I have no idea why, except for maybe they are different file types. I just use the image button.

Click on the flickr picture you want. Click "Different sizes." Make it the size you want. Copy "grab photos URL". Then come to the discussion board, click on the little square that says "insert image" and paste the URL in.

When you are replying (not the fast reply), there are a few buttons up above the area you type in. The 6th one in is for images (If you mouse over it it says "Insert Image")

Wow, I'm sorry but I don't comprehend this part...maybe I'm missing something.
