Has it reached a crisis level yet?

I refer to the shortage of silliness on this blog. I fear we have had one of late.

To help offset this, I offer herewith my album cover:


I ran across The Album Cover Project at Left Turn at Joy. Her album cover turned out quite lovely, btw. Here are the rules as she lays them out:


1.
Go to Wikipedia. Hit “random” or click
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2.
Go to Quotations Page and select “random quotations” or click
http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote on the page is the title of your first album.

3.
Go to Flickr and click on “explore the last seven days” or click
http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4.
Use GIMP/Photoshop/MS Paint or similar to put it all together. [I used Word with Word Art.]

5.
Post it to your blog and please leave a comment here so we can see you're creations.

That is an interesting band name. What in heaven's name does it mean?

It's Serbian for "red church" and is the name of a town in Serbia.

Thanks for giving me some random relief from working on my novel.

I did this a few weeks ago at Padre Rob's instigation but don't know or remember how to PhotoShop so I couldn't put it up. Too bad because it was the perfect combo. This is great fun and turns up great album covers! Loved yours.

I think I saved my info somewhere so maybe I'll mail it to you sometime ;-).

Thanks for the silliness break.

The word verification thingie is "ratter."
