What Is This TGI Maud's Stuff Anyway

Some tricks to help you navigate

First things first

Information about the text content

What you can do with the graphics stuff around

A formal and final note

I put a few undocumented tricks to make it easy to navigate:

All the little MaudBars are clickable
and will get you back to the current page's menu.

The little TGI Maud's logo at the top of the page
gets you back to the TGI Maud's Home Page.

Little spheres are usually not clickable except the one
at the bottom which gets you back to the TGI Maud's Home Page.

The really small spheres in the "Menu Selection" part
are clickable and bring you back at the the top of this peculiar part.

Images

Some pictures are clickable to allow you to see them at
full size if eventually it exists.

Most of the contents of TGI Maud's Web are totally and irreparably fictional. According to the facts, I have rather a vivid imagination and my realtionship with "reality" can, at times, be very strange.

Please read the copyright information I painstakinly wrote concerning text and graphics you see here. If you want to know what TGI Maud's is, and what it is not in very serious sentences and formal words, with some notices, legal advice and more, be sure to read the note chapter at this end of this page.

For the most part, this is just a funny thing -- however, everything is relative. Furthermore, it is basically a private joke. I made it into a Web because I thought it could be enjoyable. If this isn't the case, please let me know.

I have to admit that some of the characters described in TGI Maud's have some similarities to existing people (including myself). I made every effort not to share any private information. I hope they don't mind.

And please, please be lenient about my english, it isn't my native language.
All comments welcome.

You are not authorized to reproduce, copy, etc. any part of the text included in documents grouped under the generic name of "The Schmuck's Chronicles" without explicit notice of the author (gemp@netpress.fr). I will consider permission to reproduce parts or all of this article upon request. Because I am considered to be responsible for it, I need to know where it goes and how you eventually intend to use it.

For non-commercial purposes only, you are allowed to use, reproduce, copy, modify or whatever-you-dream-of, every paragraph and chapter graphics separators (i.e. little .gif striped lines and spheres) respectively named "maudbar.gif", "maudbarl.gif" and "S01.gif" to "S12.gif". They are all displayed on a generic page.

As I am the original author, I grant you authorization without further notice (I know it's a pain), though if you happen to think of it, I would appreciate it if you leave me a note sometime. If you feel the urge to put some copyright/credits notice, please use my e-mail address : gemp@netpress.fr. Click on the "&" logo at the bottom to learn more about me, my no-dog friends and my non-IBM-compatible computers.

Other graphics elements, as listed below, are not to be used or reproduced under any circumstances for various reasons, starting with the fact that I don't want you to.

The TGI Maud's Home Page Logo is largely inspired by an actual logo of an actual restaurant... I hope I am not breaking any copyright laws here. If they compel me to change it, even though it is free advertisment for them, I will probably change the direction of the sripes. If it isn't enough, I will change their color too. Next, I will just close that *@(!-/# Web.

The Team picture is a mix of two images. The first one is the group itself which was wandering on my hard disk drive. It might have come from a photo agency, but I don't remember using it. If anyone recognizes it, please let me know if I can keep it this way (I really hope so because : a. I'm not the rich guy I used to be and b. this thing costed me a lot of work, I'll be very sad to remove it). The second image which is only the black haired girl in the middle, supposedly Maud, was found on the Net. I made up the hairstyling myself, along with the color. I even added some lipstick. Amazing.

The "I love ?" symbol required 6 nice pieces of software to make. I see a smart guy who says "I can do better with less, dude" to which I will not reply.

Maciste is available in both .gif and .jpg formats. It is originated from a french comics magazine Fluide Glacial.
The artist is Larcenet* (the star is part of its signature) from whom we wish more and more stories. (D'you know the one about the whore in the elevator?) Well, imps stories, I mean. And in the future, maybe they'll think in time of using automatic rifles.

I really don't know what I could add to what I have said before.
