You! (A Picture/Media Thread) XXV: Show Us Your Pretties!

[absolmorph]

Well, I've been meaning to come on here and put up a picture for a while, but couldn't think of a good one 'till I got my boy to take care of the "cute" factor for me.

He's got that one down.

Dood. You don't need a cute factor. You already have the beard factor pretty well covered.

LOL - well, that should be about a weeks growth, if I remember right.

I'm not a fan of the beard, (though it is the lazy solution), but since it gets down in the -40s to -50s pretty often where I live, and I get to work outside, the beard is a godsend.

I'm no chuck-norris, but I can get some pretty good scruff going. I'll give the boy a couple years to start growing his.

Sometimes my kitties look soooooooo comfortable.

Right, well, my camera was being weird for a while, so firstly, some slightly out of date photos that I couldn't get at 'til now:

First round of games:

OotS game. Note that Durkon (Played by me), is already on level 3. I was the first to get to Xykon's lair, too. Unfortunately, since I had no-one to assist me, I couldn't beat Xykon, and the game dragged on. Also, we ran out of loot cards.

I have a few more on facebook, but that's most of them.

[DueceEsMachine]

wow.... all those pictures really make me wish I lived somewhere other than where I do.
Now that a friend of ours has gone off to college, I kid you not, there are 3 gamers in the town I live in, and that's including myself and my wife.

Anyways - sweet outfit. You pull off the facial hair well. And the suit doesn't hurt either.

UK Meetup looks like it was a lot of fun!

[CynicalAvocado]

damn you, you and your people within reasonable visiting distance.

[KuReshtin]

They picked on me in the Nuke wars game.
Randman was an innocent bystander as we played in pairs, and he had the unfortune of having me as his teammate.

Also, RL intervened in that game as well, as one of the secrets that were played in the game included an unfortunate refereeing decision at a sporting event, which caused the death of 10 million people.
When that was read out loud, everyone turned their eyes to me.

I believe it was the biggest UKitP meetup to date. 17 people at the group photo, and at that point I know that at least three had left early and were missing from the group photo.

Ah, well, it didn't end so badly. I was fearing we'd be first out of the game, but second remaining (I think?) is just fine.

[KuReshtin]

Yep, especially since we had the muffin-God sstanding behind us, trying to incite everyone to drop their nukes at us (well, me).

Some decent dice rolls at the end, and there could have been no winners at all. I believe they only had about 14 million people left at the end. And I think we had three 10 Megaton nukes that were somehow disabled that could have made the difference.

Is it wrong that at first I didn't think you were talking about cats?

Is it wrong that at first I didn't think you were talking about cats?

Well, what else a "pure, chaste and innocent" girl like me would be talking about?

[Serpentine]

Methinks thou dost protest too much.

[Thufir]

I'm confused. I was unaware that 'kitties' was a euphemism for anything.

[Alleine]

Well, what else a "pure, chaste and innocent" girl like me would be talking about?

There is nothing chaste or innocent about the skirts you wear, darling

Pure though? pure seduction.

EDIT: @^ I believe the term is sweater kittens specifically. I'd tell you to google it but that may not be the safest course of action.

[absolmorph]

Huh. I was unaware of that particular way to use "kitties".
My armory grows
Related: is it just me, or does one of SMEE's cats have a mustache?

[Skeppio]

Related: is it just me, or does one of SMEE's cats have a mustache?

Yes it does. And it's awesome. Sadly, I forget the cat's name...

[Coidzor]

Methinks thou dost protest too much.

Well, purity is part of her job description.

Girls wearing tight shirts with kitties on them is fun though, after you realize they conned you into making the pun without even realizing it, thus foiling any opportunity to get anything good in due to the pre-empting.

[SMEE]

Oi, I thought you meant something else that I posted at Facebook.

@Serp: That's why I put it between double quotes.

And yes, Kali does have a moustache. And she is adorable.

[Thufir]

Yes it does. And it's awesome. Sadly, I forget the cat's name...

Just say Moustache Cat. Everyone will understand what you mean.

[DueceEsMachine]

EDIT: @^ I believe the term is sweater kittens specifically. I'd tell you to google it but that may not be the safest course of action.

No, I'm afraid what you're thinking of is "sweater puppies". "kitty" in this sense is well. not that one.

Regardless, the "Moustached Cat" just sounds like an awesome pulp fiction villian.
She could have her own dark brooding theme song. Something very femme fatale-ish.

'course, that could also be because it is 5 am here and I just woke up....

[Asta Kask]

Actually she's a Kitler, isn't she?
