Does anybody remember the graphics of YSW Main Street in the SCM Post Magazine a few months ago, with many footnotes describing YSW in a funny, but not very flattering light?

I did a clickable web version of that graphics a while ago, as a little technical exercise in web imagemap building.

Enjoy and click on the numbers in the picture for the footnotes, plus a few of my own comments.

Hippy Haven or Yuppie Ghetto?

was it written a lamma bod????
does anybody know??!

Not sure if the writer and illustrator are from Lamma. They seemed to know YSW pretty well.

Words: Tom Hilditch, Illustration: Dougie Ward

Does anybody know if either of these two guys live or has lived on Lamma?

P.S. Great fractal in your Avatar, Shantisonix!
And a great username! What does it stand for?
Google couldn'find a single reference to it on the Web...

... shantisonix was a made up name .. the details of the evening remain a blur .. so I have no idea how it came about! but the name stuck .....

Very cool name AND avatar! Where were you when Lamma-gung started the contest?? hahahahhahaha

Having met the truly enchanting "Shantisonix" yesterday for the first time at the weekly "Sunday Brunch of the bbChris Posse", I'd suggest an Underblurb like these:

"Cuter than a fractal"
"Shaaaanti-sssssonix!!!" (pronounced like a race car approaching and passing by)
"Shantisonix, Queen of Shantytown Lamma"
"I love Shandy!"
"Sonix the Hedgehog can't keep up with me!"

and, last but least, and by far the worst:
"Shan't I Sony X?" ("Shouldn't I watch a Sony X-rated movie?")

wow, thanks for your great suggestins!
it was a great pleaseure to finally meet the infamous Lamma-Gung last Sunday!

my favourite underblurb was
cuter thana fractal
but there were some very close runner ups!

check out this great fractal site:

Welcome back, Ms. Shantisonix!

So you'd like that "Cuter than a Fractal" Underblurb between your name and your fractal Avatar in your messages?

By the way, as you might have seen in my e-zine today, we're asking all members for their birthday (no year), so we can give them a birthday surprise.
If you let me know your date, I can make you a birthday fractal...

By the way II, how's your progress with your scanner?
Getting it connected now?

As promised, here are some of my favorite fractals sites, incl. free software to make your own:

Here are two fractals I just found that would make great Avatars:






And here's a link to a few of my own fractals:

the fractal on the left looks like a bull .. very apt for taureans!
