Hey, maybe you would like to make a THANKSGIVING DIORAMA? If so, here's a thread for discussing it, showing pictures of your work in progress, or saying "dioRAMA" in a totally valley girl accent. Q: I'm not American or Canadian. What is Thanksgiving? A: Thanksgiving is a holiday that theoretically celebrates early English colonists and Native Americans coming together to eat a big-rear end feast without anyone getting genocided or dying of smallpox or getting trapped in a wormhole by an extradimensional being known as CROATOAN. Q: How is Thanksgiving celebrated? A: People gather together to eat food, get drunk, reopen old family grudges, watch football, and yell at each other about politics. Q: I'm not American. When is Thanksgiving? A: The fourth Thursday of November. A little too close to Christmas, if you ask me. Q: What is a diorama? A: A diorama is a three-dimensional model of a scene. Like if you go to the natural history museum and they have a scene of African grasslands with some life-size statues of cavemen hunting a life-size statue of a gazelle, that's a diorama. If, on the other hand, the scene, the cavemen, and the gazelle were all teeny tiny, that would still be a diorama. Mind blown yet? Q: So is a lego city a diorama? A: Yeah, sure, whatever. I don't care. Q: So you want us to make a diorama about thanksgiving? A: Specifically, I want you to make a diorama of the tiny, non-life-size variety, preferably in a shoebox or other similarly small box. Here's a link with pictures of some different shoebox dioramae: http://www.guidepatterns.com/how-to-make-a-shoebox-diorama-ideas.php Q: Why should I do this? A: I don't know. Maybe it will be fun? Q: Does the diorama need to be about Thanksgiving? A: Not really. Maybe just throw a turkey in there. It can be whatever. I just want to see some dioramas. Q: Why? A: Please don't ask. Just know: I need this. I need the dioramas. |

Ideas for dioramas to get you started: * A bunch of vikings getting eaten by lions. * A giant boot crushing a bunch of native americans. * A gang of cowboys getting kicked to death by a wild horse (nb: the three thanksgiving day football games are Vikings v. Lions, Giants v. R*******s, Cowboys v. Chargers) * A family of turkeys sitting around and eating a guy. * A cornucopia (horn of plenty) spewing a bunch of garbage all over everything * A solitary person sitting alone in a dark basement with a microwave turkey dinner looking at a computer. BYOB is on the computer. ---------------- |

I have an empty beer case box I will be using instead of a shoe box because I am that edgy and cool and I don't have a shoe box

Great minds think like great minds thinking alike. y'all, it's in the execution, not the concept. I think you should go ahead. Like, imagine if Rodin was like "Someone already had the idea for a naked woman statue." Then we wouldn't have his really sexy naked women statues and that would be a shame. Or imagine if Maurizio Cattelan had said "Marcel Duchamp already put a bathroom fixture in a museum" then we wouldn't have a solid gold toilet named America that people are encouraged to actually use. ---------------- |

Roanoke:a bunch of colonists decide to peace out and go live with the natives. Years later some 'explorers' 'discover' a tribe of oddly light skinned blue eyed people who already speak English. |

I'm glad I chose to do my diaroama in an empty beer case box because in order to bring my creative idea to fruition I will need it to be very spacious. I ask that I please be excused from the rule that the diorama has to be in a shoebox or smaller, because otherwise I will not be able to pull my mad, beautiful, wonderful idea off that I want to bring to life and share with you. I would truly give thanks, for this exception. Giving thanks, -Splatmaster Eternally thankful https://i.imgur.com/QKTkerO.mp4 |

| Or it can be larger than life size too. That would be cool. Just not life size. | |

|
| But please don't wallpaper your dining room with shoe box cardboard and then get your friends together and pretend to be wax figures in life size diorama depicting a Thanksgiving scene, because... Actually, I can't think of any reason not to do that. But don't tell us you're real people. Let us think you are wax. | |

| You can tell us you were real people later, after a suitable "gotcha" period. Or you can tell us immediately. There are benefits to both approaches. | |
