my guess is that the pic is sacred to the demoscene because we are mostly of the male species and well you know us males farting snorting, spitting in the loo, coke cans and takeaway wrappers all over the computer desk, bed, floor, bin overflowing etc etc etc etc
LOL!!!
the demoscener is the pigs nearest relative

as for women well i think their sacred icon is the butterfly ... check out the womens scene here http://www.createandcraft.com/csp/isd/craft/index2.csp

How true... anyway if you pay you can have your message/pack delivered in less than 24h (/priority mail, 0,80 euros for a letter). Not bad.

at least i remember seeing it like this in stern magazine. i forgot the cartoonist's name, but he used to have a series with weird cartoons in that style in stern years ago.

yes, that was 1 week before this cartoon was made and then we didnt hear from the piglet ever since!

I thought everyone knew the origin of the trumpet. Poüet is the sound that a trumpet makes in french. I thought it was logical.

[quote]I thought everyone knew the origin of the trumpet. Poüet is the sound that a trumpet makes in french. I thought it was logical.[/url]Ok, smartass, I know that. My question is basically what a trumpet and its sound has to do with the scene.
Btw, it's Pouët, not Poüet.

Okkie: Plz cover the entire They Might Be Giants Catalog.

In particular, "Minimum Wage" and the entire "Flood" album. But Minimum Wage.

Also, if you could manage to get "Antiprocrastination Song" by SOD in there, the earth might explode from the ubercoolness of such an event.
