The Official Stallions of Shmups Calendar Thread

Post by Never_Scurred »

Looking at the Donate button on the upper right side of my screen, I started brainstorming ways for this great site of ours to flourish and to help ease the load off the webmasters. Yes, its a calendar. 12 months of shmups, and the hunks who love/play/master them. If the online RPG/D&D community can do it for their respective sites (and i'm willing to wager the guys on here are much more eye pleasing), why can't we? I would love to spearhead this project, but like the webmasters who run Shmups.system11, I cannot do it without you.
So, lets nominate candidates for each of the twelve months (duh, I know '10 has started already, but why not kick it off Feb to Feb '11?). In addition, the calendar could offer pro tips, PCB buying advice, personal accomplishments, and whatever else the community deems worthy of entry.
Lemme know what you think.

Thats the spirit!

Think about it like this, fellas.
You picked up this fine piece of trim at the local tavern and when you get her home to do the business, she looks at your wall and sees one of your shmups.system11 buddies posing with his oiled, chiseled sunkissed chest out while leaning leisurely against a rock on the edge of the ocean. She then turns to you and with the fury of lust in her heart pounces your manhood into submission.
C'mon now, who DOESN'T want that kind of reaction from the birds? I know some of you guys need all the assistance you can get so why not help not only keep this great resource alive but also put a little puss in your pocket?

if the stallion calendar doesn't work out, a calendar consisting only of GaijinPunch quotes would be beyond awesome as well.

This could work. Needs a picture of that viking who opened Ibara in Swedish.
Oh yeah, that was Dragoforce.

Clearly he would absorb half the hall of fame section.

Clearly.

Or share the gaijinpunch month. Either way is fine. He's a good guy.

This idea is both royally awesome, and flamingly gay.

Anybody remember that Calvin Klein ad with the model wearing a shirt that says "Nobody knows I'm gay"? We could have one that says "Nobody knows I shmup".

You could easily make a 365-day tear-off calender that way.
Which would be awesome.

^^ I'd like to see an Icycalm or Fighter17 edition, just for comparison's sake.

I'd buy it. Honestly.
It would be a cool and funny way to support the Shmups forum.
Perhaps each one coming with a copy of the Remix CD ^_~

Something like this! I'd totally buy it :D

We need Twitchdoctor in there, for sure. We also need one page dedicated to "it's just you" multi-quote tunneling artwork.
