Decorate YOUR FITZMAS TREE - an Interactive Animation, my Best Yet!

MERRY FITZMAS! I wanted a Damn Fitzmas Tree ever since I heard the term invented RIGHT HERE, and NOW by god I have one, and you can too..

I have labored long and hard on this Interactive Animation (Flash - you may need the most recent flash plugin on your system - at least 6 I think, here's the Macromedia link for player/plugins: http://www.macromedia.com/downloads/#players ) - WHERE YOU can actually DECORATE YOUR OWN FITZMAS TREE, by dragging and dropping Ornaments and dropping them on the FITZMAS TREE - if an Ornament sticks to your "hand" it may be because of the slimy people encased within, just give it another mouse click on the tree to shake it off :)

There are two Flashes that interact with each other - one is the Fitzmas Tree itself, with a box FULL of decorations, the decorations being the Subjects of Indictments, Investigations, etc - something your Right Wing brother-in-law might be interested in knowing, lots of fun facts :P

If you click (click all over the page, lots of surprises on it) on the TITLE's of the Flashes you can go between the Tree itself, and another Flash that will load up with all the Decorations and an explanation of WHO they are, and WHAT they did.. for folks that don't know much about the Plame Outing they can get educated on the Ornaments and then click on back to the Tree and Decorate the Hell out of it :)

Here's two links, the first goes to the Fitzmas Tree itself, but like I said, you can click to the other Flash for more info, or a pal can get more info and Trim the Tree after.. Try this one First:

or you can check out the Ornaments (but maybe miss some surprises where the Presents are) at This Link:

In case you're wondering what that building is in the background, it's the HAGUE, I thought it rather appropriate - and the guys in ORANGE, well, I think you'll recognize them :)

So ENJOY if you will, and do me a favor, keep this KICKED Please - a labor of love, but no sleep for about Three days either.. Pass it around to anyone you think might be interested, but Please also come back here and Let me Know what YOU think of this work, I scrambled brains doing this :)

And don't forget to open the presents under the FITZMAS TREE, I wrapped them special just for YOU..

Some of 'em were "sticky" but I took care of them.

:applause:

and Great music too :thumbsup:

Thanks for that! Too much fun!

peace.:applause:

So much fun... love the little guys in the orange jumpsuits. :)

ty

for the morning people :)

Rock on symbolman!

Your Flash Foo is strong. :)

Is that anything like Flash Feng Shui? Is the Tree Aimed properly? :)

You go Symbolman!:toast:

I'm posting so I can find this thread when I get home.

My fiance has been ADDICTED to the Plamegate story (he was off work the week everything came down and lived, breathed and ate Plamegate that week). He will absolutely LOVE this! AND his birthday is Thursday, so this is an early birthday gift. :)

Thank you symbolman!! :hug:

Let's hope he gets Rove's Head on a Platter (figuratively speaking Mr Gonzales) delivered by Merry Fitzgerald's elves :)

I am still crying from laughing so hard! Thumbs up to you, symbolman!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

satisfy your urge to hang Rove (from a tree)!

Thank you and Happy Holidays!!

I live, breathe, and eat this subject too - I think this is the Premier way to get the word out - I'd like to get this to so many people that someone like Olbermann picks up on it, and I'm sure some Right WIng sites would push it (like they do when they protest a movie that shows Jesus being more human, taking wives, etc) when they don't mean to :)

If you can send this around and post on blogs or whatever I'd sure appreciate it, makes a nice political Xmas gift online -

Oh and MoveOn has an Xmas card contest, tho this is probably a little too radical for them, but they did say if they liked something else besides the winner they'd promote it as well, and the site that did it, so here's another way for me to try to move my "Rove's War" film which I still have going as a fundraiser at Takebackthemedia.com to keep us able to make works like this and films about the media and electronic voting, etc..

Appreciate the FUN comments, nice to make people laugh during times like these :)

I don't want people to miss this, especially the Right Wing..

Have I somehow pissed off everyone? I used to get hundreds of people enjoying my work - maybe that was when flash political attack ads were less available..

:kick:

he KICKED the thread AGAIN! There's no stopping this guy! :)

Did I ever tell you how much I enjoy your graphics and animations? That monkey SLAYS me everytime.. between you and SoCalDem and MoPaul and a few others the graphic talent here is awesome!

Kick? Just wanted to be sure :)

with crooks. This is fabulous. Thanks!!!

Edit - add - love that present and the music is great too:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Please send this to Keith O

having trouble with my email program today, so I hope it went out - I think he'd like it, he's been all over the leak issue lately -- I think he secretly wants that Rove Crook locked up as well, and beyond the news value..

yep, There were even MORE crooks.. I ran out of Ornaments :)

It is a work of art - I love it.

My kids are fighting me to decorate the tree.

That's hilarious, hadn't even thought about Kids wanting to have a go at it! I guess it WOULD be fun for the lil ones too..

Just tell them that if they see any of those people to CROSS THE STREET, and if they touch them to scream for the COPS! :)

Demand category 5 protection for New Orleans and Southern Louisiana!!!

Join me in flooding Washington! Louisiana groups have launched an effort to generate 300,000 e-mails demanding category 5 protection for New Orleans and Southern Louisiana. That means effective levees and flood control projects as well as comprehensive coastal wetlands restoration to give Southern Louisiana a critical storm buffer. Please take a second to help spread the word!

Thank you symbolman! Fantastic job! :hi:

:woohoo: :applause: :wow: :kick: :bounce:

Wonderful job symbolman....

Sending it on to some fellow dems...

:applause:

for the Holidays! Don't want to miss this, it's a lot of fun :)

I loved it....am forwarding to many.

manor. thank you for this...I've fooled around with Flash and I fully appreciate how difficult, time consuming and creative that was to make.

Now that was just about the best fun I've had so far this week. You are so clever...

thank you for that. rec'd :spray: :spray: :spray: :spray: :spray:

what with all this Xmas vs Christmas crap floating around Washington I thought this would kick them in the Pants :)

Thanks for spreading it around too, a fun Merry Fitzmas card for a change.. now if he just indicts that pigman Rove it will be all I want for Fitzmas!

:hi:

Merry Fitzmas to all and to all a good night!

thanks...

Merry Fitzmas all, seems more to come

looks like he's lost a good 25 lbs by now.. don't tell ME he's Cool and Collected Mr Media, and that's all they've been showing, Rove laughing.. let's see how he laughs when his new "room mate" pats him on the back and tells him it's Love, TRUE TRUE LOVE in the air :)

from time to time to the local jail who were loved deeply, to the point they needed medical care, I am glad I have a somewhat empty stomach right now.

:-)

I worked in a Veteran's Hospital after Nam, kind of to "give back" to society and make it better, etc - and I was in charge of the medical care of 300 patients who couldn't care for themselves, even while trapped IN the VA building. All milling around, with underground routes between buildings poorly lit (like the Twilight Zone), and my job was partially to observe them for signs of physical injury or pain and then get them to a doctor for diagnoses..

Some of these guys would walk around with toenails growing THROUGH their shoes, stuff like that.. doctors understand that humans have a basic sign language for pain, if they move their hands around the middle region it's stomach of liver, all people do it while explaining what's wrong with them..

Unfortunately I have trouble in crowds now, I can literally SEE the injuries of people in a crowd, a LOT Of them all at once and it pains ME.. like being the man with the X-Ray eyes I pretty much know their conditions even if they don't know it, sort of a curse for me now :)

So I know what you're talking about.. ROVE of course is now losing weight at a speed that indicates much stress no matter who says he's "cool as a cucumber" :)

He'd be losing hair if he had any..

People in other threads are saying I should post this as a seperate thread :)

Passed along...

THANK YOU!

That first mention was in my thread by SpiralHawk

The 12 Days of Christmas Indictments
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=4988201
















It's beginning to look a lot like Fitzmas
Everywhere you go.
Who's gonna do five-or-ten?
We're thinking once again
Of handcuffs and of orange jumpsuits aglow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Fitzmas
Indictments on every score
But the prettiest sight to see
Is the scowl on Darth Cheney
At the slammer's front door.

A warrant or writ, a subpoena that fits
Is the wish of Barney and Ben;
The thought of Turdblossom hung up like a possum
Is the hope of Janice and Jen;
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for court to start again.

It's beginning to look a lot like Fitzmas
Everywhere you go.
There's an defendant who doesn't want to tell;
One in the White House as well --
The felony kind that doesn't mind the law!
It's beginning to look a lot like Fitzmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring
Is the indictment that we sing,
Right within our hearts!

Beautiful!! Hey, wasn't it in the Wikepedia that the DU coined that phrase? And it was all over the media, at least some shows as I recall?

Very cool fun stuff :)
