I have yet to create a chop that matches the idea that I originally get when I see the daily source pic.

My personal work order is that I get an idea and I go looking for externals to support it. Quite often I don't find what I'm looking for but I do find viable sources for another chop theme.

This leads me to the current poll question.

As soon as i get an idea i hit google and look for what i want, but my final idea often changes several times from my original one

I agree with Macphisto. Most of the time my idea changes halfway through the process and I end up with something entirely different from my original idea.

I go and get a couple of slices of processed cheddar cheese. I put one slice in each shoe. I then walk around wearing those shoes (and little else) for an hour or so.

It makes me feel funny.

And if you can get some "funny" into your chop you'll get more votes.

I do the google thing, but hate trying to make something work if it is just not clicking. So more times than not I try to just come up with an "all source" idea.
