All the whale jokes made me wonder… Why don’t they actually put huge fatsos like her in vats of water? The weight support would surely take some of the strain off of the heart and lungs.

Finally got my power supply back from RMA. So nice to finally have a desktop again.

I really don’t think he got enough money for that…

So you're half deaf?

No, I hear very well, actually, which is why people sometimes think I’m just jerking them around.

My father was diagnosed as having a fault in his auditory center that made it difficult for him to process spoken language, so there’s a fair chance I have something similar going on. Neither of us are able to pick out single voices in a crowd very well, either, which is a big reason why neither of us like being around groups of more than a few people.

I make up for it by being able to read lips to enough of an extent that I can extrapolate what is being said by comparing the audible and visual information. People that I have known for years I don’t have to look at as much, because I am familiar enough with their speech patterns that I can guess when the next word is coming, and what it will be given the context.

No wonder I can never understand lyrics to music. I've known for years that I can't understand people talking in another room, or standing behind me, because I can't see their lips moving (makes puppets and such very hard to understand, too). For reason I never made the relation. Now at least it makes sense why it always seems clearer when I watch music videos…

Amazing what you’ll think of while watching weird old Jim Henson movies.

I'll try not to get to realistic though. or it might end up like his.

No worries there. At least, unlike me, your early days were not spent learning to draw "the Marvel way."

When you don’t know enough about a real life scenario to write about it, steal what you do know from everything and mash it up for your creation so you know all about it.

Actually, mostly serious about that. For example, one of my stories features a church. I know more than average about real religions, but not tons. So I centered it around a fabricated religion whose creators knowingly ripped off large portions of the Bible and alternate WWII history with Hitler as a demon to create a religion centered around warfare as a social engineering mechanism.

It sounds like love.

Sounds more like the Penguin from Batman Returns.

We had a cat that liked to do that. She would get this sneaky, “guess what I’M gonna do!” look just a second before she would do it, too.

It’s hard to imagine, someone being quite stupid enough, to left his car unlocked.

Well, if they’re obviously not worried about people hearing them, they could decide to just a pop a window, or put a nice dent in your door panel out of “revenge” for you having locked your door.

I sleep by the window with a loaded rifle, anyway. I know, technically it’s not legal to shoot someone out the window in a parking lot because “you’re not in danger” but most people won’t hang around when there’s a lunatic pointing a gun at them (and I’m really very good at conveying my various mental imbalances concerning violence quite quickly).

There’s nothing quite like lying in bed at night with your window open and awakening to thumping noises out in the parking lot, followed by the extremely ghetto-slurred exclamations of “man, dis’n is locked, too.”

It’s hard to imagine someone being quite stupid enough to stand around yelling about it when the respective owners of the cars are less than twenty feet away in an apartment building with balconies and windows overlooking the whole lot.

meh, just Peter being Peter. I can see how somebody might think he was being a douche about it.

Also if this was deviant art I would say you are a wonderful artist and you can become a pro right now.

Only there would be more spelling errors, !'s, and emoticons. (Dan beat me to the Sonic the Hedgehog jibe)

Crap, my room is so hot right now. Drinking a hot coffee probably isn't helping matters, but there's no way I'm giving up coffee just 'cause the weather decided to be warm.

I like thinking of Ichi as a fairy.

mmmm… now I want coffee, but I need to go to the gym later, and I will get cramps if I drink too much.

Thank you, I understand all about the arms but everything else seems unclear but I'll still work on it. :)

Here are some pics that have examples of the elements I mentioned.
