IL-LU-MIN-ATE!

[stargater]

Inspired by a post over at doctorwho where someone made an Etch A Sketch Dalek (which was brilliant btw) and since I obviously have nothing better to do with my time (like sleeping and such) I made a Lite Brite Dalek.




My trial run. I ended up only making one minor change to it as I was quite pleased the way it turned out the first time.


I didn't have any black or dark colored paper so I had to tape together some cut up parts of a 'starry' background from an old Star Wars booklet thingy. They were meant to be cut out anyway so fret not ;)


IL-LU-MIN-ATE!


The final product. Some of the pegs wouldn't stay properly straight and in place because of the thickness of the taped parts on the underside of the paper but I think it turned out alright. :D



You know, it is entirely too much fun playing with Daleks :P

LMFAO!!!

You're such a dag! That's great! You're quite the creative type, really. I don't think I would've thought to do all you're doing with Daleks :P

LOL :P I look at it now and kind of think I'm not sure it's a Dalek looking as I thought it was at 4am lol ;P Alright and I have to ask, what exactly is a 'dag'? I've seen it used before but have no clue to what it means. Something good I hope ;P

Whoa. Define dag? lol! I suppose there are a few definitions, really, but the main one - & the one I always use it as - is this: Dags are considered amusing just by being themselves and attract feelings of endearment from others.

To clarify, you making Daleks out of who knows what, or giving the toy versions shower caps and brushes etc may seem silly to everyone else - but I personally think it's adorable and very -you-. Therefore, this is daggy behavior. A little silly to others perhaps, but amusing & endearing to me.

I really don't recall using the term in any other way. Oh, wait, no I lie. Another time I use it may be for dress sense (or lack thereof :P) eg: If I'm feeling daggy myself, that may mean a touch slovenly. ie: large T-shirt, sweat pants and slippers ;p But other than that lovely visual, a dag is the above :)

LOL! Sorry. I don't know if I remember you using it before per sae but I've seen it before in various comments here and there. I did google it before I asked but all it really came up with was 'the dirty wool around a sheeps butt' ewww (hence the Something good I hope ;P comment lol j/k :P) So, yay thanks for the clarification, I feel better versed in slang from 'round the world :D

And thanks, I'm glad you find my little whims amusing :) At least I'm not the only one getting amusement out of some of the things I come up with lol ;P

Yes, the ew wool around a sheep's butt is the original meaning I'm pretty sure. But 'dag' means sooooooo much more these days :P It really depends on the context surrounding the word I'd say. It could be used an as insult of sorts too, although I can think of far better insults ;p (dag as an insult wouldn't be too effective imho).

Oh, I do indeed find your whims and whatnot (not sure how to define your amusing posts :P) *very* amusing indeed! I try not to drink tea when I check your replies/comments for fear of me spraying it over my computer ;p
