Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum, Form smells a Random Banter #235

[Form]

I have a spare bone I found one day, I suppose I could afford to lose it.

Nay, bones are a valuable commodity! Make sure to integrate any bones you find into your body.

[Rater202]

That feel when you start thinking about an arc from a manga and... Can't tell if the author was deliberately referencing Jojo or not.

Nay, bones are a valuable commodity! Make sure to integrate any bones you find into your body.

Yes By the time you die you should be more bone than meat.

If you kill someone in an honorable battle, harvest their bones to gain their power.

If you're lucky, eventually you'll reach a critical mass of bones, they'll collapse together into a bone egg, and then you'll hatch into a bone dragon.

The one variety of dragon that can be killed with a consumable? No thanks.

So that's why Minbari look that way! (Lord, how few people are going to get that reference...)

Like, what kind of person would take hair over such beauty?

A lot. I mean, the website is named after a quote by friend of the Minbari.

Also there's google.

But mostly were all just nerds.

OK, just going back to something I asked a while back:

Oddly specific question I didn't want to make a thread for: Would tieflings have fingernails with a translucent colour (like normal human nails), or something closer to whatever their skin colour is?

Which of these colours looks better on an orange "bodypaint" glove?

Linking because I'm too sleepy to resize an image manually

[enderlord99]

The black one, IMO, though I'd also add a thin, barely-noticeable coat of intense red on top of it

I'd go for the first or third from the left, depending on how much contrast you want. I'd avoid the white one as I feel it clashes too much.

[factotum]

The orange one actually looks most appropriate because it matches the "skin" colour, which is just what regular human fingernails do. Other than that, though, I would only say, definitely not the white one, it looks bad.

Had my first go on a Spectrum today, played a lot of Jet Set Willy. Strangely despite being incredibly difficult the games felt more accessible, actually ability at the games we played had no correlation with manual dexterity.

It's made me interested in getting a C64 (maxi) and playing more old games.

So anyway. My older brother is going to cook a huge Thanksgiving dinner for just the two of us. Trust me the list is long:

Turkey
Stuffing
Cranberry Sauce
Yams
Mac & Cheese
Rice
Potato Salad
Collard Greens
Cornbread
Hams
Ribs
Chicken
Meatloaf
Potato Pie
Apple Pie
Pumpkin Pie
Chocolate Cake
Sweet Peas
Black Eyed Beans
Meatballs
Chicken

I'm not making this stuff up. It's a long list.

Thanks for the input (for what it's worth, the "white" one is just an unpainted acrylic nail that I attached to try out a couple of different adhesives).

I'm torn between the pinkie and middle finger colours myself, so it's nice to have some validation. I suppose it boils down to if I want to give the character more of a cute vibe or a spooky vibe (both fit her; she's an obnoxiously optimistic Phantom based loosely on Samus Aran).

If it is down to those two, I would vote the middle finger if you want a more natural look. It feels more like what the nail could be, but I like the black because the contrast gives it a somewhat claw feel.

But of course I am also seeing it out of context to the rest of the costume. The colors of the rest of the look could impact the nail color that fits best. Just my opinion of course.

Is it that you are both very heavy eaters, that you are willing to eat leftovers for a couple of weeks, or what? I'll be eating Thanksgiving with my brother, and the plan is to roast a single chicken, plus cook assorted vegetables.

[Bartmanhomer]

Honestly, it's both.

[Anonymouswizard]

Yeah, a single chicken and ten sausages, plus accoutrements, is enough for five people.

Even at Christmas (the holiday with the big meal here) I've still never seen more than two meat dishes (plus a vegetarian option), and even then there's normally leftovers. Although admittedly it's also more common in my experience to leave the ham for boxing day.

My family usually makes a lot of food and then my aunt takes most of it when she leaves.

Makes my mom cook and then leaves with most of the food.

Mom told her we had a 17 pound Turkey this year and my aunt is like "do you think that enough? We should get another turkey" and my mom's just "no that's plenty, you just can't take half of it home with you this year."

Honestly, I don't much care for the holidays. I end up spending most of the day cooped up in my room becuase there are too damn many people in the house and for a week leading up to it the fridge is full but we can't eat any of it.

17 pounds is over seven and a half kilos. Unless you have more than eight people surely there would be leftovers anyway.

Plus surely it's only polite to let the host keep the leftovers?

And I feel you. I don't normally have it that bad, but I just loathe big get togethers.

[Peelee]

17 pounds is over seven and a half kilos.

All these people with turkeys over 7 kilo and I'm over here with a stone.

[DataNinja]

All these people with turkeys over 7 kilo and I'm over here with a stone.

"I got 17 pounds of turkey!"
"I got 7 kilos!"
"I got a rock."

[Form]

Stone soup it is then!

Alternatively, you could brain an animal with it. And then again. And again. So you have infinity turkeys really.

[Anonymouswizard]

Unfortunately the traditional recipe requires a village.

[Rater202]

Unfortunately the traditional recipe requires a village.

So, is that a story about how coming together and sharing creates more than you had to begin with, or a story about someone conning an entire village out of more food than he'd initially have taken in response to poor hospitality from the locals.(and, considering that everyone had enough to share when they thought they were profiting, lies regarding the same)

[factotum]

All these people with turkeys over 7 kilo and I'm over here with a stone.

That's still 14 pounds, sounds fine to me.

Must be a pretty big rock to cost so much

Wanna know how I know you don't buy a lot of rocks?

In Cyberpunk 2077, it is literally a crime to put pineapple on pizza. There's a wanted poster and someone has a bounty on his head for it.

Despite this, pineapple and "tofu'd tuna" pizza is a common consumable item.
