Damn she's good. I am referring to none other than banner making genius Xtine aka squirrelx. I'm almost embarrassed to admit it but she got me to click with the following banner:

here's another one, definitely one of my all-time favorites...

I knew it, I knew she wanted my nuts, I'm just glad she finally confessed... ;)

There's another one with aliens on it but apparently they have had me anally probed and erased my mind of the location of that banner... :(

Not too long ago I actually offered to do a redesign of her layout, just to help organize her overflowing content, but she politely declined, something about it being a reflection of her state of mind.  I was tweaking parts of her layout in FrontPage2000 and it actually started looking organized. It's too bad really, I would have loved to have tamed the wild beast that is her current layout... =p
