or...who's got the guts

In keeping with the finest of traditions I attribute to the great skinners of the WC community. I have but a single question. With all the jibe about curried cabbage what would a WB look like if someone would dare make one using the now infamous 'curried cabbage' as a theme. Any takers?
Messing with me is one thing. You really don't want to get the turtle started.
hiding his face and seems to be moving his safe house from place to place.
O-o-o-o-o-o-o......scarey.
So....do something.
A baby turtle was standing at the bottom of a large tree and with a deep sigh, started to climb. About an hour later, he reached a very high branch and walked along to the end.
He turned and spread all four flippers and launched himself off the branch.
On landing at the bottom in a pile of soft, dead leaves, he shook himself off, walked back to the bottom of the tree and with a sigh started to climb.
About an hour later, he again reached the very high branch, walked along, turned, spread his flippers and flung himself off the branch. Again, he landed on the bottom, shook himself off, went to the bottom of the tree, sighed and started climbing.
Watching these proceedings from the end of the branch were two little birds.
Mummy bird turned to Daddy bird and said, "Don't you think it's time we told him he was adopted?"

Q: Why did the Turtle cross the road?
A: To get to the shell station.

Why is turtle wax so expensive?
Turtles have such tiny ears!
Russ Hinze was a very well known Queensland State Minister for Roads. He was a "giant of a man" and besides being well known for his political activities was of a large stature with a head firmly and closely attached to his shoulders (ie. no neck). I am sure that you will be able to substitute some appropriate personality well known in your own country. eg. Drew Carey
Anyway, the joke.
Russ Hinze and his personal assistant were travelling through the outback of Australia, visiting his constituents. After a long and arduous day of hand shaking and baby kissing they retired to a restaurant for an evening meal. Russ noted Turtle Soup on the menu and recalling such soup from his childhood decided to order same.
After about half an hour and no sign of the soup, Russ sent his assistant into the kitchen to enquire of the delay.
The assistant entered the kitchen to find the chef with cleaver in hand and the turtle sitting on the bench. Enquiring as to the delay the chef informed the assistant that he was having big problems. It seems that each time he brought the cleaver down to sever the unlucky turtles head the turtle withdrew his head into his shell.
The assistant, very quickly taking in the situation offered his help.
"Ok, stand by with the cleaver"
He promptly inserted his finger into the rear end of the turtle. At which "intrusuion" the turtle immediately stuck his head out and the chef was able to sever the head with a single (and humane) blow.
Impressed, the chef enquired of the assistant how he knew that very usefull little trick.
"Well, I do have to put Russ's tie on each morning"
Also Minister for Racing and Police Minister. I actually met him! I worked at Qld Police Headquarters in the late seventies, and when the HQ was moved into a brand new building, Russ was there for the grand opening, as was Sir Joh Bjelke Petersen and the infamous Terry Lewis, the then Police Commissioner.
I didn't particularly like them at the time, but they were a darned sight better bunch than Anna Bligh and her cronies. Now there's an evil bunch of pollies if ever you saw one. 
Now if you met Russ in real life, you'd know just how funny that line is. Not only did Russ have NO neck, his chest started somewhere just below his no neck and tucked in to his pants...
... his was one mighty long belt, I'll tell ya. 
ahhh the good 'ol days, the one without the tie is Russ Hinze, and the other one with the tie is Si Joh Bjelke Peterson
That pic must have been taken just after his assistant's finger got broken.
Not exactly, but he did have to put Russ' tie on in the mornings. (reply #610^)
You miss trying to cripple me.
I have some 'expert' advice/counseling on the skin so far. I am told it looks 'very proffessional' but I have a long way to go to complete'. I am shooting to finish by the end of December.
Also have another in the works. This one is simpler, but it lets me play with somethings and then try them on the CabbageWB.
I really like that start menu. I especially like the title bar name.
Trying? Trying???!!!!
That's it.
From now on "I blame Po'".
If not there, then loitering around outside Bichur's stump.
Troll Thumping Day may still be a ways off, but knowing Po`, always striving for perfection, he'll be there getting in some practice. 
That's looking good, Po`, I'll be very interested to see how this one develops/turn out. I agree with Ed, too, that start menu looks spiffing.
As for the end of December, well that's all good, too. I know Skinhit gets under your skin and is a distraction, so I understand, you've had your problems and focussing beyond Skinhit annoyances has been difficult. Fortunately, he himself is distracted with his most excellent IP set to match Xiandi's most excellent Darker Side WB, so you will get some peace to continue your efforts on the most excellent Curried Cabbage WB. 
Now now boys, settle down! If not you can go to your rooms for 15 minutes, a bit of time out should cool you off.
Now you mention it, he is responsible for various bits n' pieces of hilarity around here! And it wouldn't have been just the once that he nearly made me wet myself laughing.... and mrs starkers isn't very forviving when I create extra laundry for her to do. And I'm already behind the 8 ball on that count... copious amounts of curried cabbage can have its repercussions.
Wot?
You mean to say you haven't had a 'bark' that had 'follow through'???
My 'extra laundry, however, is caused by the resulting odour permeating my clothing...
.... so much so that it can stand up by itself.
Mind you, that's nowhere near as bad as when Shaunna wears socks. It's as if they know the odour is offending me... cos when I yell: "That's it!", and point to the laundry, they walk in there by themselves.
