Drawn circa 2002 by Neil C. Obremski on White Board

Here's the description from the original version of this website where I had entitled him "Sigh Weenie":

Although I can't identify the number of each weenie drawing, this is the second. I drew it immediately after the first (the main picture at the top) next to my name on our Warcraft III race-list. What you can't tell is the actual size of the drawing which is much smaller than the others, and consequently makes it less detailed.

I changed the name here to Warcraft3 Weenie, because he was such a mascot of those memories. What's missing here is a picture of that race-list, which would have been cool. There were lots of funny legends from those times and I have a feeling tidbits appeared on the white board.

Undead was my race of choice and later (Night Elves = Tricky / Chew, Humans = Reggit, Orcs = Bob / Pink Poodle) as the patches piled up for re-balancing, I wondered if much of my success stemmed from them being over-powered. Either that or my skills stagnated and others excelled, such as with SuperGreg's great paladin tactics later on. Neither of these prospects is encouraging to me!

Okay so his original intention was not some kind of referee, but after the word "TIMEOUT" cut through him it kinda made sense.

Drawn circa Winter 2002 by Kelly Cowherd in Crayon

This is the original inspiration behind this site. Kelly drew him with crayons while at Red Robin for lunch. I must remember to ask for crayons the next time I'm there, though I do remember balloons.

Click on the image to go to a larger version. While the name came about much earlier, the very first visual version of our heated hero is represented here roasting a speared little man over a camp fire (bottom center) ... and he doesn't look too happy. And that reminds me of the time I was ordering a movie ticket and the clerk glanced at my FlamingWeenie T-Shirt and asked me, "Is that a hot dog on fire? Why does he look so angry?" to which I replied: "His head is on fire." Seems obvious you know.

Also making a splash is my friend Chris's internet avatar TrickyFishy (in black, bottom left). I always thought he had a knack for cartoon drawings and this was no exception, but of course he hated it.

Finally, the my Mad Scientist character from NeilStuff is also displayed (in blue, bottom right). If I remember correctly, Chris drew that as well.
