Darn, you're right. Wishful thinking on my part, I guess.

The bat'leth does have better range than a weapon that you *only* hold in the center, that's why it's got grips along most of its length on one side. Not saying it's a practical weapon, just that it's not *quite* as impractical as ou make it out to be. ;-) Seems like swinging the bat'leth near the end would give a fairly powerful swing at the other end, but not very well controlled. I saw a fighting team doing a demo years ago, and after going through several real-life weapons, they asked for requests from the audience. When the inevitable wag called out "Light sabers!" they pulled out a pair of plastic toy light sabers, and proceeded to explain things like, they'd be used more like a rapier than a broadsword, given that you only need to make contact with the tip to do damage, and that the double-bladed one that had just come out at the time would be used more like a quarterstaff than an edged weapon. Thus, I kinda picture a bat'lath being used more like a quarterstaff, too.

Things That Are Just Annoying
CritterKeeper replied to CritterKeeper's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Heh. I've avoided complaining about the cold I've had for the last several days, especially the annoying tickle/scratchiness that hits when I talk too long, or go too long between drinks of water, or sleep with my mouth open (which I have to do to breathe). I get that feeling, I have a couple of seconds to grab a paper towel, tissue, or jacket lapel to cover my mouth with before a strong cough or three hits. That, and a persistent sniffle are really getting annoying, but when I think about what my friends here go through, it doesn't seem so bad. I think the part I find most annoying is actually the breathing through my mouth while asleep, because it means I wake up with my mouth paper-dry several times a night. >:P -

Isn't it set for a week, not a month?

Except for cockatoos, who would be bichon frise dogs. Very sweet little white things that want to be held and petted 24/7 and get neurotic if they can't be. ;-)

Changing Medications (Level of Trust Required)
CritterKeeper replied to ProfessorTomoe's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Hmm, didn't you report that the pain was about 15% worse after that procedure? If so, I'd think it was a good thing it's worn off quickly. Here's hoping that one of the nifty new gizmos like our therapeutic laser turns out to be surprisingly effective on your pain! *fingers crossed* *tfys ro ryoe tjst qsu* *uncrosses physical fingers, crosses mental ones* *makes Mrs. Prof the baked or frozen goodie of her choice as thanks and to keep her in a good mood* -
See, I would have gone with the "all sorts of noises" part. It's hard to play bongo drums while riding a tractor and running fingers across the blackboard all at the same time, let alone while keeping the slinkies going down the stairs and the African Grey parrot in tune with the boys choir....

So, Voltaire may be trying to mess up the "sound mind" part, likely +/- the "morally good" is hoped to be a casualty of losing the first. Next question is, does he know enough to decide, if he isn't getting his way, to blow the whole deal for Tedd by telling too much at the last minute?

Yes, that spot does seem to suit the cat quite well.

Apples and oranges. Don sounds like he's talking about, for example, Mohammed Ali. You're talking about pictures which very definitely were depicting the Prophet specifically.

If I ever find the pattern again, I'll have to knit you a scarf like one I have half-finished somewhere....it was white with light green stripes, with white strips along either edge with holes in them. :-)

pinup Double, Elliot and Susan. April 2, 2017
CritterKeeper replied to mlooney's topic in EGS Sketchbook Discussion
It just isn't something Susan would be wearing. One more thing that makes me feel like this isn't Susan. -
It's in my stack. No, you don't want to know how tall the stack is (or would be if half of it weren't virtual).

Hmm, this is the sort of thing that tends to backfire with me. My thinking is along the lines of, "Well if I'm going to see it anyway, what's the point? Maybe I should wait until there are a few more Patreon-only things to see before I make it this one's turn." Granted it might be fun to see the characters developing, but if it's like most Patreon sites, that stuff will still be there later. I know, it's not about the goodies, it's about supporting the artists, but that just gets back to the budgeting issue.

Canned chicken noodle soup, of my old-favorite/comfort variety. I have caught the cold my boss had last week, and just didn't feel like eating all day. At lunch break I went home and took a nap instead, hit snooze and didn't even have time to eat anything, but I just didn't miss it. I mostly had the soup now because I figured I should. We'll see whether it opens a floodgate, or whether I continue anorectic until my nose clears up....

Oh, so it's not like the story of what Jake thought Doc's date would be like, which seems to be a permanent Patreon-only thing?
-
Congratulations! And cute photo! Seeing all those colors made me go look up what they're all supposed to mean. I've now emailed the company in question about my confusion, seeing as they have a color for something they call "veterinary science" but do not list any color for Veterinary Medicine.....

I got a good tip on my previous Disney trip about gassing up rentals. The little gas station on the way out of the Disney complex actually has some of the cheapest gas in town, so my source recommended filling up there on your last day. Saved me a lot of bother trying to find cheap gas elsewhere. I also found the one place in any tourist place I've seen where you get more than your money's worth, in a very immediate way. They had change machines next to the Souvenir Penny Press which would take your dollar and give you four quarters and two shiny pennies. (The presses each take two quarters and one penny to get each squashed penny souvenir.) Granted, it would take more work than it would be worth to make any significant profit that way, but it was still amusing that you could get back more money than you put into it.

Sadly, I can't be a Patron of every artist whose work I enjoy. I try to have a rotating slot which changes every month or two, so I can spread the love. Perhaps once the current story ends and I can read all of it within a month, it'll be Doc's turn.

pinup Pinup: Saturday April 1, 2017 (Rental Guard Level 2)
CritterKeeper replied to Scotty's topic in EGS Sketchbook Discussion
Heidi doesn't look anything like Elliot, nor is she supposed to. She's a separate form, that's the whole point. But, a pinup of Heidi can look like Heidi or not look like Heidi, just like a pinup of Susan can no longer look like Susan. If something is described as a pinup of a character I love, I want that pinup to still look like that character, even if there are modifiactions applied. When the body is so different it looks nothing like that character any more, then it's not a pinup of that character, it's a pinup of an unrelated cheesecake figure. Which is fine to make in general, but I'd rather it not be described as being the character when it no longer is. -
pinup Pinup, Single, Mall-Goth Elliot, Wed March 29 2017
CritterKeeper replied to mlooney's topic in EGS Sketchbook Discussion
Hence why I specified Shetland ponies instead of just regular ponies. Horses can be over two meters at the wither (shoulder). The "pony" definition is smaller than 140-150 cm at the shoulder. A Shetland pony can be as small as 71 cm. -

Her face definitely doesn't look like Susan's face the way it should. Elliot's is still Elliot, though. -

They just did a Shetland Pony/Sheepdog thing and shrank into RedBox kiosks, which are in or outside a whole lot if grocery stores and Walgreens now. Actually, coffee only brings performance back up to where it would have been originally. Coffee drinkers in the original trials would be told to stay off caffeine for a day or two before getting the baseline no-coffee performance level, so they were in the throes of caffeine withdrawl when they did the no-coffee tests, which dropped their scores. Their scores once they were allowed their caffeine fix were naturally better. Non-coffee-drinkers never had that drop in the first set of scores. Once someone figured out to control for whether a subject was already addicted to caffeine or not, they found that the with-coffee scores of the coffee-drinkers were no better than the baseline scores of the non-coffee-drinkers. Rather than giving themselves a boost with their morning coffee, coffee-drinkers were impairing their performance without coffee, and then crediting the coffee for an improvement that was really just taking away that impairment.- 40 replies
