twit and HiroDaZero: People start smoking for a variety of reasons but primarily, smoking is a social accessory, it's used to "fit in" (at least initially). It's no surprise teenagers take to smoking so easily, it might as well be a trendy pair of shoes or pants (that gives you cancer).

As for smoking to relieve stress or to relax, this only applies to established smokers. A non-smoker under stress would not benefit from a cigarette because they are not addicted to nicotine yet. When a smoker is stressing out, they tend to chain-smoke because stress mirrors the physical feelings of nicotine withdrawal pangs. Anytime a smoker is smoking, they're merely relieving withdrawal pangs, regardless what the situation is. So think of it this way, smokers smoke just to feel normal, so they don't feel the withdrawal pangs anymore. Non-smokers have no withdrawal to deal with, they don't need nicotine in their systems to feel normal. It's a pretty straight forward addiction and quiting is far easier than it seems to be.

i def use it to manage stress and my nerves...though im currently trying to cut back... X)

mrwjinx: Cutting back is one of the worst things you can do, it just makes the withdrawal pangs worse and quitting even harder to achieve. You can find such information in the book "The Easy Way to Stop Smoking" by Allen Carr. :D

Dan: That shirt was -made- for people like you. ;)

Clox my friend. Let me just say this. While we disagree politically, I was pleasantly surprised that you would go to the trouble to do such a thing. It says volumes about your character, the kind of person you are. Despite our differences, I would hang out with you, laugh, joke and enjoy. I like you Clox, you're good guy. Thanks.

Dan: No problem broski and thanks, I appreciate it. I've always admired and respected the fact that you're true yourself, whether people like it or not.

1st place: This is certainly a stylish "piece". I like that Tim posted the process drawings, it makes the finished product that much more interesting. Great job!

For those of you too innocent or clean-minded to see it, here's a hint: It's Frankenstein's "other head". The name of the piece isn't exactly subtle either but sure, maybe it's just meant to look like a frankfurter (sausage). :)

cyclops (Oct 13, 2008)

I never win...nice, this seriously gives me motivation to create more, thanks everyone for gawking at my frankfurter :)

Suntan (Oct 13, 2008)
