Chimp Challenge '08 *Official Thread*

[sno.lcn]

Wow the past year seem to have flown by and it's already time for another Chimp Challenge! For those of you new to OCF or the Team 32 folding team, for the past two years we have had a race against the Maximum PC folding team. It originally started as our folding_monkeys subteam against their spider_monkey subteam, but it quickly turned into a team-wide race on both sides! So many people joined in the first one that we had to up the target points for the second race, and will most likely do so again this year. I linked the official challenge threads for the previous races below.

Chimp Challenge '06 (http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=454314) winner = MaxPC
Chimp Challenge '07 (http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=505857) winner = overclockers.com

That means we're 1-1 so this year will put one team ahead of the other. And that team gets (or retains) possession of the coveted Jaded Monkey for the next year. The loser must guard the cursed monkey paw for the next year.

Help us keep our Jaded monkey!

To participate in the Chimp Challenge and help your fellow OCFers, run the folding@home client like normal, whichever you like, and use the username "T32monkeys" and of course, team name is still 32 :D

Challenge Rules:

1. First team to accumulate 5,000,000 points from the start time wins.

2. Start time for the contest is May 5th at 12pm noon, Pacific Daylight Time.

3. The victor gets to claim the lucky jaded monkey as the prize. Tales have been told of untold wealth and fame that comes with this. The victorious team is allowed to display in any honorary fashion the jaded monkey, the losing team is forbidden to display it. The losing team is bestowed the dreaded monkey's paw, which is said to be cursed. People have been known for have very bad luck with this paw

4. Team captains are as follows: sno.lcn from overclockers, KingFish from MaxPC, Xilikon from [H]ardOCP, and mitsimonsta from OCAU.

5. In the event of a close race, the Stanford site will be considered the official source for points information.

6. Only with a consensus of the team captains are changes allowed to be made of the rules.

7. Team names are:
OC -T32monkeys (http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=235050)
MPC - maximum_monkey (http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=233720)
OCAU - Monkey_b o l l o c k s (http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=339720)
[H] - [H]ardApe (http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=341715)

8. Have fun, keep it positive, and enjoy the contest.




Track the race here. (http://clintdavis.us/chimpchallenge2008/)

[David]

We need input on the following:
1. There has been talk of inviting the [H] and OCAU to the race.
2. Target points: several numbers have been thrown out there, ranging from 1 million to 10 million. Where does everyone stand on this?
3. Same team name as last year, or do we want to pick a new one?
4. Sweetening the pot by making the loser fold x number of days with a quad smp for the winning team. I like it.
5. Any other concerns.

1. The more the merrier. Sounds like an idea to invite the others. Both are really competitive teams so it should make life interesting.

2. 5 million seems like a good number to account for points inflation as well as lengthening the contest somewhat.

3. What about OCMonkeys08, MPCMonkeys08, OCAUMonkeys08 and HardMonkeys08? Something systematic?

4. A prize other than pride? Sounds like a good idea in principle. What about the loosing teams all have to put in say 30,000 points into the winning team over the course of a month? 10,000 each in an allocated username.

[=ACID RAIN=]

1.) Go for it.
2.) 1 million would be prefect.
3.) I'm the new guy so I don't have much of an opinion. We could be tutu-wearing marmosets for all I care LOL
4.) I agree. Lose gracefully!
5.) I think the loser should wear something similar to my avatar LOL

I think we need a goal higher then 1 million. Some teams are averaging around million PPD, the baked thinks 5 million sounds good.

I'm good with this too.

Oh, I'm in.

[nitteo]

I think we need a goal higher then 1 million. Some teams are averaging around million PPD, the baked thinks 5 million sounds good.

But not ALL the team gets in the Chimp Challenge. TOO LENGTHY of a Contest will deter some/most. I think I nice Sprint to 2million is good.

Also the I THINK the Losing team folds for 100k points for the Winning team as a prize. Teams need to get volunteers to "pay up" in there own teams. If not the captain has to take the slack.

Edit: YAR!!!

[sno.lcn]

If we weren't already going to win I would be willing to help out with that.

I Like the idea a lot too. :thup:

How about the non-winning (hate to use the word loser) team or teams fold for the winning team the difference of the challenge result. Suppose the difference is 50K (or whatever the figure that may be) for one team at the end of the challenge, they fold that much for the winning team. Lol, I think I just confused myself. Well, for something simpler, then maybe just one SMP WU a day for a month.

[sno.lcn]

That sounds even cooler :thup:

[KingFish]

2. 5 million seems like a good number to account for points inflation as well as lengthening the contest somewhat.

I agree. I like 5 million too. I think most of MPC seem to like that one as well. Less than two million would make it too short IMO, and 10 million would be too long. I know each year both of our teams surpass our expectations for output so it would be best to err on the side of more points.

3. What about OCMonkeys08, MPCMonkeys08, OCAUMonkeys08 and HardMonkeys08? Something systematic?

Sounds good in theory but each team is responsible for the nick they want to use. MPC will likely retain "maximum_monkey" from last year. It has a certain ring to it.

4. A prize other than pride? Sounds like a good idea in principle. What about the loosing teams all have to put in say 30,000 points into the winning team over the course of a month? 10,000 each in an allocated username.

Pride was decided on two years ago. Each year this discussion comes up and it was decided that to avoid hard feelings with points payback that this formula (jaded monkey/monkey paw) would be kept. If the points weren't paid back as promised it would definitely put future contests in jeopardy and trash the credibility of the contest. I'd hate to see that happen, we manage to stir up enough drama with the smack talk.

Sno, thanks for helping get this kicked off. You're doing a fantastic job over on this side. In keeping with tradition, the kickoff will be on cinco de mayo, 12pm pacific time. I'll take screenshots from the stanford site and post them in an official place so we can base our starting points from that.

On that note, anyone have contact with seadave for the stats? If not, is someone talented with php and stats and willing to handle duties this year? I'm certainly not in that talented category. I'll be busy talking smack anyway.

Thanks!

[Zerix01]

I think I like 10 Million points. Each team seems to be producing about 1 million PPD so about 10 days at current rate and most likely quicker with the general increase in users (such as from our SETI team), so it would be more like a week. I don't think that is very long at all. And it might give me a chance to fire back up my Athlon XP and get a WU or two out lol.

I'm no PHP whizz but if you were stuck I could do some stats daily by manually checking EOC. Naturally something automated would be preferable.


As to the start date, how does 1st May sound?

1. Challenge starts May 5, 2008, 12pm Pacific time.

4. Sweetening the pot by making the loser fold x number of days with a quad smp for the winning team. I like it.
5. Any other concerns.

1. The more the merrier!

2. 10 million

3. Doesn't matter to me

4. I like the idea of making the losers fold for the winning team. Or if we are really lucky we could find a donor to donate some hardware to the winning team.

5. Do you guys fold under a sub-team name or something? I'm brand new to folding and I'm unsure how the sub-team thing works.

[WarriorII]

We all change our User names to one single name.
Last year it was T32monkeys.

Then we pulled out the stops & fired up the Steam Roller. :D

It's still out back, we gave it a New Paint job for this Year.

It took forever to get all that monkey poo off!!

I would rather just do the traditional reward(Sno if you know something we don't PM us:D)

Displaying that monkey Paw is suffering enough(I can't stand the sight of it!:eek:)

[wingless]

I'm in! I may even have a new system by then with more POWER! It'll be a nice way to break it in.

[KingFish]

If you have time, stop by over there and drag them into this hehe

[sno.lcn]

So how does the prizing work with more than two teams? Top team gets the jaded monkey and bottom team gets the paw? What about the middle guys?

[KingFish]

Good question...we've never had this....I say we keep with tradition and give the top team the jaded monkey and the loser the monkey paw.....nothing for the middle team(s)

[sno.lcn]

Sounds good to me :thup:

[alan2308]

One problem I see is that over at the [H], we don't have avatars. We wouldn't be able to easily wear either paw with pride following the competition in your tradition. I'm sure we can work something out though.

[KingFish]

It doesn't necessarily stipulate that you use the avatars to display either. It could be in a prominent area other than avatars, such as a dedicated thread or in signatures, etc. We can work that out, it's no biggie :)

So this zim, he was a uberfolder for the team? (sorry I'm a newb to chimpchallenge)

In a month, maybe a zim1 can occur :).

The best way to put zim, he was a migrant folder who brought out the best in whatever team he was with at the moment. But he didn't stay anywhere very long.

[Adak]

Zim was a hell of a folder, and a hell of a teammate. Any team was a better team, if he was on it.

Shouldda nailed his feet to our forum, is what we shouldda done! :D

Now there's the Jade Monkey face for the winner, the ugly monkey's paw for the loser, but I'm wondering about
using *Gertrude's* pic, as well!

She may be too scary though?

Yeah, guess so. :D

LMAO!

On forums with no avatars or sig pics, maybe sigs should say "I eat monkey poo for breakfast". I don't visit [H] or OCAU often, so I don't know the rules on that.

I'm about to add 2 more overclocked quads to the mix as long as finances hold. Other teams better start getting watercooling or something, cuz from the way we are gearing up, **** aint gonna be pretty for them when this is over :D

[Zanson]

I think this is a great idea.
1. the more the better. it will bring everyone together mine as well bring them all together.

[=ACID RAIN=]

HAHAHAAH! RUH ROH!

Yeah let me tell you 3.6 is a really good spot for the quad when it comes to folding. It flies through the WUs. Obviously 4GHz would be better, but on this generation 3.6 is crazy fast.

Think of that monkey as a gaudy ornament of hope. The glory it stands for is unsurpassable. Once you understand the glory and wisdom the monkey holds, it becomes beautiful. It could be a bright blue and pink baboon's ass, but to you it is a monument of championship; a statue representing right of passage from mediocre to extreme, from boy to man, from girl to woman, from deaf and blind to omnipotent being.

The invite has been extended to OCAU:

Thanks for the visit... I think we will be in, if only for the fun of having our arses handed to us on a silver platter.

I would suggest a 2 week folding time rather than a points milestone, and possibly a secondary competition for the most WU's sent back to Stanford.

Thoughts?

Thoughts?

Any reasons why? A points milestone has been the choice the past couple times and seems to have worked well. We could always limit it to two weeks but then we'd have to choose a milestone within reach. I can't remember how long previous competitions have lasted.

[Mitsimonsta]

Any reasons why?

It would just give us a certain length of time to run, that's all.

I am just not sure how long 5 million would last, I tend to think maybe 8 or 9 days max.

Just a suggestion that I thought I would throw out there.

[KingFish]

The points have worked out well for us in the past. I hate to tinker too much with a working system. The past competitions have been all out sprints and have been over faster than we anticipated. That's why I'm liking 5 mil for this year. It's also easy for stats tracking. Seadave (from OC) has done the stats the past two years and also has his system nailed down.

There has been talk on other forums about starting the username CHANGE OVER the day before Cinco de Mayo, timing it so the first WUs turn in around the start time!

Don't forget to fold with you GPU!!! http://folding.typepad.com/ Its here finally.

[Lodis4]

When you change usernames is really of no consequence as we take a zero point reading at the start of the race. The only thing early change over does is show the other team the production numbers.

No matter what the rate of production is before the race the points start at zero as of 5/5/08 at 12pm PST.

Have no fear, all of you that finish too soon,you know who you are, can still participate; may want to send the wife out for some ED meds though...

:bday:

[benbaked]

I agree, we should stay with the T32monkeys username. Since we're going to have a multi-million point goal for the contest using an existing name will help keep the first page freed up for individual member stats, instead of having another username on the first page that will likely fall to 0 PPD once summer rolls around. :)

[sno.lcn]

Then T32monkeys it is!


Kingfish are you guys sticking with your name from last year too?

[Lodis4]

KingFish is off riding his ATV for a few days. When he sobers up I have to get him back up to speed, which could take a while, he is from Lousyana and you know what that means...


In any case I told him I would hold down the fort as far as questions regarding the contest are concerned. Yes, we will be keeping the same username as last year.

I will be in for sure . With my e6420@3.2 and i hope a 4ghz 3110

sno---what's the consensus of your team with respect to the number of points for victory...or would you rather put it to a poll first?

Xilikon has stepped up as captain of the [H]orde FYI

[sno.lcn]

I'm going to say 5 million for now :thup:


Everyone okay with 5 million?

5million is fine. Do we need to start a thread that lists an Official ROSTER of participants?

Do this, from what I've seen this will make the timeline similar... (for us at least :)).

[hank123]

so do we have to reset our FAH to team T32monkeys? and will T32 end the end get all the points?

[WarriorII]

Yes, when it starts we change our User Name to ___________ (what ever we agree on)
& keep it on Team 32.

All the points will go to our team, but the Monkey Folding Name. Until it's over & we switch back to our regular user names.

:sn:

[harlam357]

Yes, I believe staying with T32monkeys (http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=235050), which we used last year, was already agreed upon.

I'm hoping to be ready to contribute when the 5th rolls around. I'll at least have the three systems I have currently running with a possible quad running to help out.

BTW fry is running a special on the q6600 again. $180, before shipping, limited supply etc....

[harlam357]

Sheez... that's a heck of a deal... I was gonna wait for price cuts on the 20th but this may be too good to pass up. :drool:

[Jason Kitchens]

How much are the cuts supposed to be? The 20th of this month?

[harlam357]

http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=6833&Itemid=66

Two older models, the Q6700 with a 2.66GHz clock speed and 8MB cache and a 1066MHz FSB speed will drop from the current $527 to $268. The ultra popular 65nm Kentsfield Q6600 with its 2.4GHz clock and 8MB cache will drop from $250 to $227.

So I don't see how I can go wrong with $189 to the door... they're dropping $23. And if Newegg drops their prices by that amount they will still be $220. So I either just saved $30 or spent more than I needed to 5 days early. Oh well, it's done now. :D

FYI... price is still good. Since Intel is only dropping the Q6600 by $23 (http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=6833&Itemid=66) this still might be the best deal you can find on a Q6600, even after the price drops. :thup:

Good to see the old school folders back in action.

ChasR will likely appear with exact numbers but I'd say your best bet is the FaH 6.10beta3 client (systray or console) for the P4s, and maybe two instances for the HT chips.

-GPU folding? Is there a client for an 8600GT?

- Just set team number as 32 when you start the client and run the config. If you need to rerun the config options, just start folding with the -configonly flag and it will re-prompt you for all the info.

-I'd run SMP, it should make the deadlines. If you find that it is missing deadlines on the SMP work units, then consider switching over to two single core clients. I doubt you'll have that problem, though.

-Not to my knowledge - I think the only clients are for ATI cards, and the PPD they produce isn't worth the heat/power requirements.

[deadlysyn]

-GPU folding? Is there a client for an 8600GT?

Sadly, the only GPU's that I know of that Stanford has been able to make clients for are ATI. I am not sure if they even have plans to support Nvidia. Really too bad, I love Nvidia.

1) As far as I know, we will all be folding under T32monkeys.
2) I use the 5.04 client with -advmethods and big units on my P4. Depending on speed and cache, they may not make SMP deadlines, although I think ChasR has a few folding SMP, but I believe they are dedicated rigs.

Can you have someone go ahead and fold a WU under that username so it can get an EOC stats link? :cool:

[KingFish]

I doubt if that will even be accomplished by the end of the contest sno....you may have to do one for them hehe

[Brolloks]

How do I sign up for this, I have 4 running rigs and can whip up another 2 or 3?

[sno.lcn]

Are you familiar with the folding client at all? If so you just use the username T32monkeys and team number is 32. If not, for duals and quads use the SMP client. They make it for linux and windows, but the linux one is more points per day. But you can run linux in VMWare under windows (I posted the link to that in the benching lounge) but if you don't feel like going through all that the windows client will work just fine. You'll need .net (2.0 I believe) to run the windows version. For single core there is a standard folding client as well at stanford's download page. You can also fold on ATI GPU's :)

Folding client downloads are at http://folding.stanford.edu/English/Download

[Adak]

How do I sign up for this, I have 4 running rigs and can whip up another 2 or 3?

Brolloks, if you can tell us what the system(s) cpu and memory are, and how much they're on each day, on average, we can give some excellent advice and detailed instructions for whatever type you choose.

The download page sno linked to, above, also has download instructions, right next to each type of FAH client.

In a nutshell, the SMP client works FANTASTIC on strong dual core or quad core systems that are left running 15 hours a day or so. Ten times the pointage of the regular uni-processor FAH program client. Points in the 1,000 to 3,700 per day, are common.

The GPU client is a new version, and I am unsure how well it works. Last version was rather unreliable, unfortunately. Also, it's obvious many graphics cards were not up to the task of folding for hours on end - they died quite prematurely. I can't yet recommend this client.

The uni-processor FAH program (5.04) Console, is rock solid, but limiting on pointage. One I'm folding right now will bring me 1600 points per day. Normally, this same rig gets me 1750 points per day, folding with the SMP client. Other WU's have lowered that PointsPerDay( ppd ), to as low as 350, with this 5.04 uni-processor client.

A lot of the points depends on the type of WU that Stanford is giving out, at that time.

As far as Stanford is concerned, they need SMP WU's done by the barrel full, so they can study the accuracy and efficiency of this new folding client, when compared to other folding clients they use.

It's not all about the points, although we sound like that as Cinco de Mayo looms ever closer. :D

It is a little confusing, with all the new folding clients. The way it looks to me is:

1) 5.91 is the oldest SMP client, and if you stick to a console install, I believe it's the best.

2) 5.92 does NOT support 64 bit Windows, so it's out for you.

3) The 6.XX versions may or may not support Vista 64 bit, but the download page, and the linked forum posts, do not say it does.

And 64 bit Vista is easily the most difficult OS to get a good install and working FAH SMP client for.

So the winner is: 5.91 beta!

From:
http://folding.stanford.edu/English/DownloadWinOther

I don't have a rig with Vista on it, so I'm just going by what I've read. If anyone has personal experience with this, jump in here for Deanzo, please.

You can enter at any time. Before the competition starts, change your folding username in the client.cfg to T32monkey and set your team number to 32 and you'll be all set. All workunits that credit to T32monkeys and team 32 during the competition timeframe will be included in our race stats.

If you're already using a different folding username, you can easily change it by executing the command to start your specific folding client but also add the -configonly switch and it will go through the list of setup/configuration questions again.

I agree, I think it is bad form. But hey, they may need it to get an edge over our vastly superior speeds :)

However, if they want to be fair (this is for fun after all) then maybe instead of cheating they could simply change their names at the starting gate like everyone else ;)

yea, i guess it is just our wisdom and better application of folding knowledge and overclocking that will conquer all :beer: (yes that early). Our benchmarking team already flexed ocf's muscles by winning the oc competition handily, congrats to you guys who are now folding!

[AlabamaCajun]

Can't wait to see your folding numbers on that BE beast AC.

Running last night at 2.7G on one of them 3607s it was running 16mins a frame, my 2.2G Phen does 12 secs a frame. I hope I can get one of the other units to see what it does based on pass units. I want to come in flinging bananas on all four peels!

[nitteo]

Everyone of us needs to advertise Folding in our sigs to get some more recruits!

[sno.lcn]

Unfortunately it wouldn't let me use any size bigger than 3 :bang head

[WarriorII]

Oh, that was yours?
I often forget where half the stuff I steal came from.
A little birdy told me you were easily distracted by bananas and peach schnapps.
Little birdies are usually right.

I think mdcomp sated that at last competition.


but I like:

To the 4 Chimp Captains: Can we try to get some coverage/support from EOC stats? That would be cool if EOC is tracking the race!

[WarriorII]

Seadave77 does an excellant job !

He did it last year for us.

Check linkies via search ChimpChallenge07

[KingFish]

I'm working with seadave77 again on stats coverage. He told me earlier today that he should have a link up and running possibly by this sunday. Stay tuned for that, I'll let you guys know as soon as I know.

[=ACID RAIN=]

Hell yeah!

[Omsion]

So...participating pretty much involves dling the client, setting
username = T32monkey
team number = 32

Correct?

[WarriorII]

Yes.

Care to Join us?

[inkfx]

I'll definitely be in on this. The fittings I ordered for my Apogee should be here before the 5th.

ROFL!!! Nice!!!....I think that resolution is going to be broken in about two seconds!

[Lofty]

Question: Any ideas how long we expect the competition to last?

[sno.lcn]

Between a week and two weeks is the closes estimate I have right now. We'll get a better idea once the race starts though :)

Then count me in.

I won't make much difference, but 900 PPD is 900 PPD.

[WarriorII]

As always Lofty, EACH & EVERY machine make a difference !

About a week until the monkey spanking begins! :beer:

So you're offering to spank our monkeys? Thats awfully kind of you. :beer:

[=ACID RAIN=]

I like you guys, but not like that. No, really :D

[KingFish]

HardOCP will have a stats tracking site too. It can be found here:
http://hardfolding.com/fh_stats_test/index.php?pz=500

The placeholder data will be replaced by real data when the race starts.

[WarriorII]

Very nice.

I had to chuckle at the place card info. :p

Yeah, right, in their dreams.

[nitteo]

I am probably going to move my rigs to t32monkeys on this Thursday night! I will not be in the office on Friday and Monday to move my farm over. And I have family stuff planned out over the weekend.

[muddocktor]

That's a pretty nice stats site that the [H] has put up there. :thup:

[Dapman02]

I will donate my phenom to kick butt :mad:

Good idea... it will be best if everyone switches over ~24 hours before the challenge begins... so now everyone has something to do Sunday afternoon. ;)

Lets see what the "Boss" has planned for us.

Not sure when the 1st WU is "Allowed" to be turned in.

12:01 PST? or is that is when we all turn Monkey?

[nitteo]

I thought you can switch anytime you want to, its just the points are only counted after 12pm on Cinco de Mayo.

[sno.lcn]

Yes, but we don't want to tip our hand too early ;)

I'll be post an official "switch over your rigs" thread but they can be switched before if needed :)

[KingFish]

yeah, don't tip your hand....i would recommend to start changing them over on may 10th just for that very reason

[WarriorII]

hehehehe.... I have a number....

I bet you can't guess what it is either. :p

and I'm not gonna tell.

[alan2308]

Thats still a bit soon. Might want to wait until at least the 15th.

Switch early switch often,:beer:

[jmsanders2]

The earlier we switch the earlier we win :)

Or...something like that :beer:

[shadin]

Rig in t3h sig ready to go for Sunday!

[ghettocomp]

ok.. ok... IM IN! Folding Closet on the ready..
now to see if I can drop the whole farm into SMP mode..
hmmmm......should be interesting.

**Click**
Bzzzzzzt...
**#POOF#**

(and the smell of burning elextronics began to waft across the city..)

[AlabamaCajun]

And fried crisp bananas


[H] is going to need a lot of [V] if they think they can keep close to T32. They will be [S]oftOCP by the 10th.


And for MPC, we have this http://www.mindspring.com/~alabamacajun/nannermpc.gif

I like it!:beer::beer::beer:

[RipD]

Can I suggest that the original poster edit the first post to make it more clear what changes need to be made to points go to T32Monkeys. I get it, but it may not be obvious to those who have participated before. And could we sticky this thread for the duration of the challenge?

[sno.lcn]

No problem, I'll get it taken care of right now :)

[deadlysyn]

[COLOR="MediumTurquoise"]And for MPC, we have this http://www.mindspring.com/~alabamacajun/nannermpc.gif

Here AC give mine a try http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v696/deadlysyn/loc_01.jpg

I'm going to try loading it with some of these to see how it does. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v696/deadlysyn/bananapeel.jpg

And it doesn't matter [S]oft, Roo's, or MinPC, T32 has all of your numbers. When you see the mushroom cloud from our PPD explosion on Sinko De Mayo, you will fear us so much you will forget to switch your rigs over.

Thanks guys. :)

Yeah I'll work on it in just a minute here once I finish mine up. If you want to give it a try in the other thread about avatars save the blank template then using paint you can copy/paste your image on top of the template then resize your image so it fills the template properly. That's where I'm at right now, just have to see if it uploads right. If it works I'll do yours.

Edit: mine worked, so I'll do yours and toss it up on my photobucket in a few minutes and PM you a link.

[Th3 F4ll3n P1mp]

Cool, thanks a lot marine.

[marineman]

Ok I got it up now to see if I can figure out how to post it.

http://i28.tinypic.com/2u77nz9.jpg

Doh, I see a red x and I'm hosting the image... I'll try to toss it up somewhere else that's less stupid than photobucket

Edit # I lost count but I see it now ^^

[Th3 F4ll3n P1mp]

Try tinypic.

I thought thebaked said you had peaches over here?? Well, where you hiding them? I see no peaches; no peaches, no 'naners, no fun...
