Ron, aka Bobbie_Boucher, you've been permanantly banned here as "Ron Knights", "poserfool", "chrisjon1950", and "rogergordion". I won't bother to mention you've also been banned from 3DC and Poser Pros, all with good reason. Doesn't that tell you something? Thanks for bringing your special "Ron Knights" brand of Christmas cheer to this otherwise fun thread.......

No dancing elephant for you!

Back on topic, thanks for the new morphs! :)

Why are you making this into a personal attack? I'm not the one who initiated this subject, nor am I the only one who agrees. I see much hatred here. I see no Christmas spirit. Now mind your business, and stick to the thread.

Thank you for the coal. Whether it is given out of generosity or out of annoyance, it is a useful item: independent and flexible enough for a variety of scenes... and thus very welcome. Carolly

Ron,I made no personal attack, just stating facts.

I have plenty of Christmas spirit, that's why I'm thanking the DAZ PA's (and the folks here and at RDNA and all the others) for all the time and effort that went into the making of their wonderful free gifts! Something we ALL should do.......

Whether it is given out of generosity or out of annoyance, it is a useful item: independent and flexible enough for a variety of scenes... That's what I thought. And with a bit of clever texturing, you could get a sack of feathers or grain or possibly gold or jewels... I thought it was a prefectly useful gift, and I thought the humor behind it was obvious. bonni

Ok all lets just settle down and not make this into a free for all. This was a gift given out of the generosity of the PA's so lets just keep it to the subject of this thread. SndCastie Poser Moderator

Hah, well my parents always did say I'd get a lump of coal in my stocking if I weren't a good boy. It finally happened.

Well, it's a handy prop, usable in a lot of scenes. But, for me at least, any intended humour didn't work. The snowman, that was funny. Anyway, pop it into freestuff after Christmas, and lets go back to the usual bitching about whether Poser is art.

Actually, after the holidays,I'd think all of these freebie threads would be moved into the freepository..

Randym77, your snowman is hilarious! ROFL Thanks for the laugh! :)

Thanks for the freebie Rawnr. When I was a kid I think the "rumour" one heard in the school yard was that someone got a piece of dry toast in their stocking when they were bad...maybe Santa finally realised giving a lump of charcoal (ie: a handy drawing implement) to a "bad kid" was REALLY dumb idea, heh heh Nowadays the 'punishment' gift is a pair of socks isn't it?

I do believe the "Threat to Bad Children" may have varied, perhaps according to geographical location or culture?! Here in the US, I distinctly remember being threatened every Christmas season with the lump of coal in my stocking.

Ah :) I too love that snowman !

"Nowadays the 'punishment' gift is a pair of socks isn't it?" I dunno. My 4 year old has found many fun uses for his socks, other than keeping them on his feet like turning them into sock puppets, or handy bags to store his Hot Wheels. I'm still searching for the ultimate 'punishment' gift. Maybe underwear. I love the coal. Can think of a number of things I could do with it. Thank you!

bigjobbie, not charcoal, coal, doesn't write at all. and coal was good luck symbol for some peoples.

heh, Well they could always use it to burn the house down I guess... I guess it must date from when people had coal-cellars etc for home heating...Pre-WW2 or there-abouts? A common household item associated with chores...? I remember that Bill Murray movie, where as a Kid he gets a packet of Meat for his Xmas present, but recalls it as being a "good" present because of high current market value of beef...or something...

Heh, it was veal... cause his dad was a butcher. My daughter would also love socks... she does the same thing. I constantly find Legos and other small toys in her socks, like little santa sacks all over the place.

Oh, I was hoping it was a sack of coal. I love it. I can use it. It's a charming witty gift to those of us who barely deserve nuttin honey. And would make a great addition to a render of a Xmas nightmare. Socks are a fine present, especially in Poser when they at least used to be dang hard to come by. My least faves as a child when everyone else was getting dolls and velvet dresses was . . . underpants. Talk about a downer. Thank you, Garee, Rawn, anybody else who was involved, from the bottom of my heart, which I do have, and which hurt when I realised I'd hurt others. I did my apologies in private. Mostly. Emily

GAREE, RAWN ... THANK YOU !!

Speakinbg of socks, I suppose I could release the Koshini conforming socks I did a few months ago.. I supposed her feet get cold this time of year, just like the rest of us... LOL!
