PICTURE POST!

[GemHaters]

^ Gem, when you call your cat, do you say it like the guy from ST XI:

"Come with me...CUPCAKE"?

No, I make those....hmm, how do I describe it? Kissing noises, I guess is the best way to say it. He comes running every time.

 

[GemHaters]

Derp

And mai wittle Cupcake!

Cupcake has your nose.

@CoolEddie...Thanks! I made that one black and white because I didn't like the original. lol.

That was my first thought too!

Or if the cat catches Gem surfing icanhascheezburger.com and scratches her, and she says "Relax, cupcake, it was a joke!"

Then poor Gem and her cat get in a bloody bar fight that's broken up by Bruce Greenwood.

Gem's cat: My previous owner fed me for 12 minutes. He saved 800 pounds of cat food. I dare you to do better.

I meant pretty/bad but that'll do too

Very attractive eyes. I think that is very safe to say. You are quite fortunate to have them.

Thanks, they're my best (re: only good) feature.

I'm sure they're not, but yes they are nice. I just thought they were green though.

Yeah I normally go with 'green/hazel'. My hair would make an interesting photo but it's too big, can't hold the iphone far enough away to get all of it in frame.

This was one of the best nights of my life. Muse.

^Looks like you hacked the Gibsons to show music videos!

 

[Lumi]

^ I have no idea what that means.

It was The Resistance Tour. I went to the Detroit '10 show.

 

[M'Sharak]

So yay or neigh on the eyes?

The eyes look fine - shading toward the grey end of the hazel spectrum in that pic, I'd say. More than mine do, at any rate.

You'll have to work on that, sounds like.

Obscure bad movie reference. If you get the chance to waste 2 hours of your life, watch Hackers. Just don't pay money to do it.



Hack the Planet!

 

[CorporalClegg]

Dude, Hackers is awesome!

Angelina's boobies + Fisher Stevens as evil mastermind and Pen Jillette as his fat, half-witted henchmen = instant win.

It even has Lorraine Bracco when she was just the chick with the obnoxious voice.

How is that not awesome?

 

[Lumi]

Angelina's boobies aren't that impressive. Definitely not impressive enough to make me want to watch a film.

A little late to the game here, since I've been offline for the past week. But HATS!

Grand Canyon-wear...

ICE-wear...

And MANTIS! At least it looks mantis-like. I've never seen one like this before. I almost put my hand on it, it was so well disguised. Can any of the mantisphiles around here identify it?

 

[cooleddie74]

Looks like a type of camouflaged Mantid, similar to a Carolina Mantid but with a different color pattern. I don't know all the different types but that appears to be smaller and more exotically-colored than your average sitting-on-a-bush praying mantis. Sorry I couldn't be of any more help.

 

[Brian]

That's more than I knew fifteen minutes ago, thanks!

I guess I should add that the mantid in question lives in Central Florida. And the tree it calls home is a Drake Elm.

That tree has been a magnet for unusual lifeforms.

This appears to be a caterpillar of some sort, whose hair pattern mimics the silhouette of a scorpion...

And I have been watching this cluster of precisely placed eggs on the same tree...

 

[cooleddie74]

We definitely don't get those here in Virginia. Must be a mantid native to the more subtropical climate of Florida. All the smaller mantids up this way are greyish or brown in color and don't have any visible striping on their bodies. Looks very cool! It would have been so neat to see those little buggers when I was growing up!
