Carpenters South Park Style

[Rick Henry]

The picture below was sent to me by Shalalala (Mark) a regular on the forum. He drew it himself. It's a picture of Karen and Richard with doug Strawn from their "Ticket To Ride" video done in South Park styled chartacters.

I really like the scarves around their necks.
Good job Mark.

[shalalala]

Thanks, Rick!

Actually, I used a computer program to create the South Park characters. I did not have to pick up a pencil!

I'm thinking about doing a Karen-through-the-years kind of thing next, or maybe one of their other videos ...

Like I said in the other post yesterday night... *Thanks Mark, that pic (work) is awesome*..., ' so cute..., I don't like South Park very much (I'm a Simpsons fanatic)..., but, I think I'm already in love with that little Karen.

Thanks to Rick for posting it, also.

By the way, Rick, that's not Doug Strawn..., that's Bob Messenger.

I'll post it on the Van Halen forum, thanks.

Thanks, Roland! Glad you enjoyed the picture. (I also think the little Karen is cute.)

What is the Van Halen forum?!

Hi Mark

It's a forum like we have here, but, on Van Halen.

The owner there changed the software of the forum we were using recently so we lost thousands of bootlegs and pics just a couple of weeks ago, too bad, codes are different now(smileys, quotes, colors, etc...) so all our previous posts looks like a mess, but, we have to live with it.

Too bad also for the huge Van Halen Photos Collection under my name there..., all the pics are gone..., I will have to re-post them again(if I find the time to do it).

Near 3000 members..., I'm moderator there too..., my nickname is KarenCarpenter..., 2115 posts since June 2004..., people call me KC..., Roland..., and some new members call me Karen..., funny..., but, it's mainly KC or Roland.

I tried to post your Carpenters/South Park yesterday ,but, it didn't work..., serious problem there.
I know there's a couple of Van Halen/South Park pics already there, so, people will like the Carpenters one..., Karen is really respected there..., well they don't really have the choice to look at her since my signature and avatar pics are with all my 2115 posts, so, that makes 4230 Karen pics automatically, plus, the big ones that I posted on some special threads.

The main site is pretty good too..., here the link to the forum section.

Thanks again for the pic... Did you edit it with Adobe's photoshop?

I used Paint to edit, not PhotoShop. I wish I knew how to use PhotoShop as I probably could have put the characters on a screenshot of the actual video ...

Do you like Van Halen better than Carpenters? I think I've bought one VH CD (well, it was a tape) in my life. But as a die-hard Chicago Cubs fan, Van Halen has a special place in my heart -- in 1984, the year "Jump" came out, the Cubs made the playoffs for the first time since the '40s. That year, WGN (which carried all the games) opened every broadcast with that song. And TO THIS DAY, for every home game since 1984, the Cubs take the field to Van Halen's "Jump."

Eddie Van Halen is my model since I'm 14, in 1983, I made me want to do music..., that's when I picked up the guitar..., I play it for 22 years now.

Karen Carpenter was always my favorite female singer, but, I didn't know how she looked and that she was actually a drummer until I saw the *Close To You - Rembering The Carpenters* PBS special in early 1998..., then it hit me like a bomb..., from that moment on, I went and bought everything I could find on The Carpenters(imports CDs, magazines, TV Shows, LPs, Singles, made myself T-Shirts, resizing small photos into posters and laminated them, musical boxes, cups, made myself puzzles, etc...) ..., just everything I could find or create, I did..., I spent ALL the money that I had because of my love for them(around $ 12,000) in only two years('98-'99). My appartement looks like a Carpenters museum..., well, now, with all the renovations I have to do I had to remove a lot of stuff on the walls, but, they'll be back up there again.

I've almost completeley stopped buying since then 'cause I had to put more money into my recording studio, buying a pro drum kit, pro mics, etc..., but, someday, I'll start buying Carpenters gems again.

So, to your question, since 1998..., my answer is *No*... I like The Carpenters more than Van Halen.

Karen is the woman I admire the most on this planet..., she's my *Ideal*..., all the girlfriends I had in my life were physically like Karen(brown eyes and slim) and they were very intelligent and funny like her too..., but, Karen is The Ultimate Woman for me.

I'd really like to meet someone who makes me feel that kind of sensation..., but, I don't think I will.

Well, I guessed you answered that question. Wow, you are some fan!

I'd like to see a pic of your Carpenters shrine, or at least one of the T-shirts you made.

Are you a professional musician? You must if you have your own recording studio.

I think a lot of people on this board are in love with Karen Carpenter. I know I am. She's adorable. I hope you find someone like her, but that's a huge standard to live up to.

P.S. Sorry you lost all your pics on the Van Halen site. Sounds like a lot of time and effort went down the drain.

Hi Mark

We can use the private messaging option if you like..., I don't want to be annoying to others with my personal life.

I can say that I'm a composer/arranger, multi-instrumentist musician who produce his own music.

I give musical lessons, also.

And you? How did you come to like/love The Carpenters?

I didn't have time to read your stories yet, but, I will soon.

[karen69roland]

She sent me a couple of e-mails in the last month or so..., I guess she's fine..., I hope she is.

Thanks Funny Dave, I know I'm not annoying to you, bro.

..., and to some others to.

Keep on snuggling your Karen. ;D

Last minute photoshopping but you get the idea

[Rick Henry]

Oh that is neat DVB3, putting the South Park Carpenters in the "Ticket To Ride" video background. Excellent work.

[shalalala]

THAT'S what I wanted to do with them, DVB3. Thanks. Nice job.

Is PhotoShop easier than converting DVDs to digital, I hope?

No way, photoshop is like 20 times harder! lol

[Rick Henry]

Mark, I look forward to seeing your Karen through the years characters. This one picture in itself has been quite a bit of fun for all.

[Mariah Andrews]

I think Trey Parker and Matt Stone would be very impressed, but when they make fun of celebrities, they usually staple their own head to a stick-figure-like body.

If I drew Richard and Karen, it would be very Pokemon/YugiOh like, as my style of drawing is very Japanese Anime-like.

Speaking of, I thought the parody of Pokemon on South Park was funny, but I sometimes think Trey and Matt go way too far on that program.

Oops..., sorry Mark..., I knew a new member had written stories about himself(or something like that)..., I thought it was you..., but, in fact, it's Ken.

So, Ken..., I'll try to read your stories soon, sorry.

*By the way, Rick, I'm trying to use the Mickey Mouse image(smiley) and the code doesn't match.

Thanks

Thanks for letting me know Roland. I have so many GIF's and images now that sometimes I enter a code that doesn't work. If you guys encounter one that doesn't work properly please let me know so I can fix it.

Anyway the Mickey Mouse image is now working.
