Last night representatives of Trogland came to an agreement with representatives of Canada and agreed to annex "Trogland's Helm" into Trogland itself in exchange for a turkey leg at the Renfaire. Deals make with a slightly drunk Canadian are legally binding....right?

Only if there was a raising of ancient spirits to accompany the meeting to bind the souls of those involved in the furtherance of the pact.
In other words: Not really.

Of course, you had to have it returned by the next morning.

Hmm, interesting...

Yeah, I figured so far.

ION:
I met a one-footed jackdaw today. It landed not far from me on the lawn next to the bicycle path I was walking along, and while it was jumping through the grass, picking seeds from the ground, I thought it looked like it had a bit of a limp on the left foot, but it was hard to tell as the grass conceiled it all too well.

Then it started to come closer to me, and finally it jumped up on the asphalt less than two metres away from where I stood, whereupon I immediately saw that it lacked a left foot. The leg was all there, but it had no claws, and was supporting itself on the stump where the foot once was. Despite this quite significant injury, it didn't seem to suffer especially much from it, and looked quite well-fed and well-groomed.

If I'm to make a guess, then I think it must've gotten into a fight with one of the many cats in my neighbourhood a long time ago, and lost the foot in the battle. That said, it might just as well be a birth defect. Either way, that was one gutsy jackdaw who dared to get so close to me (and our jackdaws are pretty gutsy in general), and it's a bird that definitely deserves my respect.

Cuthalion · 10-13-2012, 08:45 AM

I've definitely seen one-footed pigeons a lot before.

Huzzah for sobriety!

To Wikipedia!

Facial features:
Michael R. Cunningham of the Department of Psychology at the University of Louisville found, using a panel of "Asian", "Hispanic" and "White" judges, that the "Asian", "Hispanic" and "White" female faces found most attractive were those that had "neonate large eyes, greater distance between eyes, and small noses"

Legs:
A study by Swami et al. of British male and female undergraduates showed a preference for men with legs as long as the rest of their body and women with 40% longer legs than the rest of their body. The researcher concluded that this preference might be influenced by American culture where long legged women are portrayed as more attractive

And some other features I'm not going to go into detail on. But that's not really the best portrayal of Jessica Rabbit. While that may be the actual cartoon, what most men see is this.

They've gone to bed. And I'm going to bed as well.

Goodnight everyone!

Wow, that's some pretty indepth research.

Also, I notice you haven't commented about my whole "If we can work out the price I'd totally sell you coolers full of snow" thing. Just checking to see if you saw it.

Thanks!

I copy-pasted that from Wikipedia. Random contributors did the research, I just found it.

I actually would buy that, but I have realized that I don't actually have money. Stupid college...

Anybody know how to unblock specific ad sources from Opera Adblock?

Do any of you fine people happen to know what causes one to develop "bags" under the eyes when tired? I noticed I have some and subsequently came to the realisation that I have absolutely no idea why they occur...

Magic. *snort snort*

And also, a assortment of blood buildup beneath the eyes or something to that effect brought about by excessive not-sleep.

MoonCat · 10-13-2012, 01:18 PM

It's not that I can't appreciate excellent looking females, but J.R. just looks downright ugly.

Her cheeks are swollen and baby-like, she has an incredibly high hairline that makes her look practically bald with a crappy wig, her legs just look like noodles when they're missing her ankles, her feet swell out of her shoes, her eyebrows look like they came off of an excited Jason from Foxtrot while her eyes look tiny since she has them almost closed, not in the slightest bit alluring as you can barely see her eyes are there, and while I get the appeal of having a character with breasts that large, the effect is totally ruined when she has shoulders that are that large in proportion with the rest of her mutated-swollen-noodle look.

I thought it might change if I watched her moving and speaking, but her walking is totally unnatural and freaky. Meanwhile, the only reason I could understand why people think she is considered the epitome of hot animated female characters is because of her voice, but frankly, even then, it's not that great. Evil GLaDOS sounded hotter, for crying out loud!

Hell, I can spend plenty of time ogling female animated characters that are considered sexy, but in her famous singing music scene I was being totally distracted with how they animated the light on her dress and on her body at one point when she does a turn, and working out how the dress could work IRL. To be sure, as a most likely het girl, I'm not the best choice for a test of sexyfail vs. mechanics of something nerdy, but still.

How the hell is she popular???

Mutant Sheep · 10-13-2012, 01:24 PM

Moonie... you just aren't a guy from the 90's. Or attracted to a exagerration of most desirable traits 90's men found in women.

Because back then there wasn't anything sexier BUT her. Now we have things like Mellow and Russia, and what's her face from Black Butler, the ladyman with the chainsaw.

MoonCat · 10-13-2012, 01:38 PM

I am seriously scared of anyone from the 90's who finds her traits in women sexy.

LaLa, the first two of those are guys. (one of whom is spelled differently.) But people today still see her as sexy, and I can't figure out why. Also, you think Grell is sexy?

I disagree with most of the rest of your post, but that's an eye of the beholder kind of thing. I just had to mention this specific part because Evil GLaDOS sounds hot as all hell, so that's hardly a fair comparison.

Ah, my bad

And yes, a little. It's hard not to, I mean s/he has a chainsaw! And a slasher grin.

Jessica Rabbit is supposed to sound as hot as hell too. Actually, I'd rather see a video of GLaDOS twining around stuff in Aperture singing 'Why Don't You Do Right?' than watch Jessica Rabbit, and there's is pretty much no sexual appeal in GLaDOS' robot mainframe.

Have I told you about the time I pulled out a cleaver and decided to frighten my friends yet?

No you have not, but oh my

AtlanteanTroll · 10-13-2012, 02:13 PM

Where are you getting the idea people are attracted to Jessica Rabbit from anyway? Who Killed Roger Rabbit isn't exactly a talking point anywhere, as far as I know.

You find being attracted to buxom women frightening?

But people who were old enough in the 90s to find her sexy then are probably too old for you for another decade or two.

Well, you're young yet, so there's no telling where you'll come out viz. finding a bound and gagged woman to your liking.

I imagine Zodi made a very unfortunate google search without remembering to turn safe search up to full.

Really? I hear about it everywhere, but never about the plot, just about how incredibly hot Mrs. Rabbit is.

That was never a trait I listed. I find being attracted to people who look like they had their faces replaced with a that of a baby's wearing makeup scary.

I don't recall you being one of the ones I mentioned my age to... And if I have, I'd appreciate it if you didn't make obvious hints about it.

Pssht. I prefer GLaDOs in her Birth of Venus pose.
