apprehensive to swear openly.

I don't swear openly because I am an admin, simple as that.
As I've said before.

Oh you get steamier than a kettle in a Swedish sauna. It can be quite a site.
…I'd change that to "sight" but I like that way that works. :)

All this talk of swearing etc reminds me of when i got picked up on it in the forum games section, well that and necro posting which was covered eslewhere a little while back.

"Genejoke" Said:

Posting in a thread that hasn't been posted on for over three months.

"Genejoke" Said:

With his supreme control over electricity he would just electrocute you.

Jacl Johnsons anus.

1. Necroposting is pretty much a big no no in any forum on the internet.
2. Language like that is very much frown upon in any public place, on the internet or in real life.

I strongly recommend you don't make another mistake like this again.

I got spanked for typing anus and necroposting in one, I'm a bad man.

Edit.
the quote thing didn't work so well tried to fix.

Which is strange. o_O

People get a bit crazy about the very idea of "necroposting" but if it's so wrong then why don't we just lock ALL threads that're older than a month? Is it because we're just laying traps for poor, unsuspecting moops?

Of course not. It's only really necroposting if the topic is truly dead in time- like joining in with an argument that was over 2 years ago, or giving someone help or advice about a picture that was finished and done with moths ago.\Besides that, it's pretty much ok for anyone to swear here occasionally (within reason!) as long as they're not admins or mods.
Just use good judgement- if it starts to annoy other people then it's time to cut back.

Telling someone off for saying "anus" is probably more annoying than swearing.

You can't do that here - the queen goes on about her anus all the time so nobody raises an eyebrow. She kept harping on about her anus horriblis a few years back - TMI your majesty.

Man, what a tight ass.
Or should I say… anus?

Posted at 3:02AM, Feb. 17, 2011

I think the worst part was the typo, it was supposed to be Jack Johnsons A*** (see what I did there) not Jacl Johnson.

Oh Sid James!
Him, Frankie Howard, and Kenneth Williams (later on Benny Hill Kenny Everett etc.) were great formative influences on me as a child.

Their smutty humour was considered perfectly acceptable for children in Australia. They made me who I am ^_^

BTW, I am really quite stupid and uneducated so I was forever baffled about that anus horriblis thing, for YEARS. I couldn't for the life of me work out why the queen would say something like that.
Then I realised… Annus DOH! >.<

Posted at 3:02AM, Feb. 17, 2011

I had similar influences… still better than some of the stuff the current generation get my five year old came home from school singing the black eyed peas my humps or whatever that song is called. And i thought high school musical was bad.

Some days, working on comics is just plain overwhelming. Like- we're working a medium that's begun to reach a post-scarcity distribution system, but we still live in a scarcity-driven economic system. Trying to figure out ways to work in the former and survive in the latter can be crushingly devastating. I just spent the morning looking thtrough my childhood list of fave indie and pornographic publishers to see if any had open submissions and realized most of them are either defunct or near defunct. Makes a fellow glad he has a day job, but kinda sucks some of the enthusiasm out of picking up the stylus. Lame.

@ The "Steamers": Your conversation just got me all worked up.

I keep getting lazier and lazier…gawd…

Anyone know how to get different stuff on a Zune HD?

I'm not good with all this file stuff and the games off the internet aren't working…

POOP.

I remember that thread: "How will this kill me?" It was a fun game. created by . . . a funny featured guy.

I fail to read this thread for a couple days and it turns into bizarre lefarce/ozone shenanigans? I gotta get my shipping chart and start some epic fanfiction

God I have the most terrible cold or something right now, I don't even know. It's obviously divine retribution because a few days ago I was cheerfully telling someone about my faultless immune system, but I REALLY could have timed my hubris better because there are three papers due next week >:|

Ive figured out a good formula so I can keep my comic going.
Ive set mile stones and everything up to them and past them will be improvised.

Thursday is now officially Soup Thursday in my house. Todays special - Artichoke and mushroom: very tasty even if I do say so myself. quite fancy a meaty broth next week, if I can just get my hands on fresh

—wildebeest rump—

Locked up indoors and feeling even worse today, I listen to DD podcasts. Contrary to what I've heard, there's hardly any swearing to speak of. 0.O

i almost felt too lazy to read what i've missed. But i love each and everyone of you, and have shaved 5 minutes off my bed time to read.

lulz. love as in a way that is friendly. like bromance.

I was going to type a rant. but i don't remember what it's about because i have jonathan coulton playing, and anytime i stop to think, i get swept up in the music and start singing along until i stop to think again.

We got Buddy's lumpy test results back. Turns out one of the lumps WAS cancer, but it's not a kind that spreads. : )

My favourite is split pea soup with parsley on top and home-made biscuits(American biscuits)(with honey butter).

Damnit…I've bid on this one auction and there's a base set charizard in there. I've got my hopes up because it's hidden inside the 'view pics' and not advertised in the title, yet i just know someone is going to bid 20$ in the final 3 seconds of the auction -__-

Bleh i guess i'll stat filling out job applications.

Staring to sound more like something that'd appeal to Lefarce than me. ^_^

Now I'm reminded of the song Genejoke mentioned…

What if "My Humps, my humps, my lovely lady bumps" referred to benign tumours? Oh what a strange would it would be. T_T

I can say "arse", "wank", "sod", and "bugger" because Americans know not of their true power, but the F word results in a sound effect of some sort.
-Which means I should say it more because I always find that I enjoy more bleeps rather than less, don't you?

Posted at 9:02PM, Feb. 17, 2011

I'm pretty sure you mean "my humps, my humps, my lovely lady lumps!"

check it out!

Because if there's a song to which I want to admit knowing the lyrics, it's definitely that one, hands down

Apparently british people call vaginas "minge"? That's so gross…it sounds like a fungus or asbestos byproduct.

"arse, "wank", "fanny" are like watered down swear words a kid would use here. American swear words are really short and have really harsh consonants, while those sound so soft.

But pretty much a culture thing. Like i bet in another country someone is all like "those american swear words are so short and lame. And apparently they call vaginas 'pussy'? that sounds like an oozing wart or freon byproduct."

Posted at 12:02AM, Feb. 18, 2011

"my humps, my humps, my lovely lady lumps!"

And I'm sure they ARE lovely.
And completely benign…
lol!

But pretty much a culture thing.

That's it. ^_^
It means that if you're from another culture you can get away with a lot… as long as you stay away from the old ancient Anglo-Saxon cross-cultural ones :the F and the C, tits, and shit which all we English speakers share, etc.

Though it will always, always, always bemuse me the way the childsafe version of "arse" which was "ass" actually became the offensive one in the US and the original form became the safe one. That's quite a magical anime type sexchange for the poor words…

———————————–

I was reading a bit of an article about how plastic surgery is becoming more common and widespread these days and what that means for changing ideas of beauty… And that got me thinking that it'll probably head in the opposite direction like what happened with the fake breast fad: people used to think they were fascinating and sexy, but now most people think of them as a bit freakish and weird unless they're really well done to look natural.

That got me thinking that people with overly feline eyes, sharp cheekbones, geometrically copy-paste and flip symmetrical faces, nova bright white teeth, and women's magazine full page add perfect hair will start to seem more and more freakish and weird to people…

Which finally got me thinking that instead of drawing my comic characters with the Photoshop-enhanced magazine cover model in the back of my mind for reference, that the best way to go would be to continue the trend I started with Pinky's bumpy nose and try and bake in more little "imperfections" around about on my characters and figures.
"Character" faces are more fun to draw anyway. Ultra perfect mannequin type faces in Marvel type comics already seem a lot weirder to me than any manga style ones ever did.

Beauty…

reminded me of some songs which sort reflect what I think on the subject. Very few people are physically ugly, but damn a bad personality can mar the prettiest visage.

Can't drink you pretty by Ginger

One glass of wine down
It hasn’t been a good year.
A shot or two of Absolut,
And now you got an attitude.
3, 4, 5 from the whiskey distiller
And a sixth of tequila
And I still want to kill her

Well I can’t drink you pretty, it’s true.
Can’t drink you pretty, no can do.
Well your beauty’s only skin deep
But your ugliness goes the whole way through.
It’s true.

Clock strikes seven,
And still no forgetting
Your face with the chasers
8, 9, 10, 11
And twelve-o-clock don’t rock
And I’m getting sicker
To make you a catch
Is gonna take some more liquor

Well I can’t drink you pretty, it’s true.
Can’t drink you pretty, no can do.
Well your beauty’s only skin deep
But your ugliness goes the whole way through.
It’s true.

————–

Ugly by the dreaming

You're beautiful but your soul is cold and dead
Angelic, but a demon fills your head
The nirvana that you promised life could be
Was a deadly blend of hell and ecstacy

God you are so beautiful
Til' I looked in your eyes

(Chorus)
Now I know you're so ugly
I know you're so ugly on the inside
I know you're so ugly
So beautiful but ugly on the inside
On the inside

So beautiful but ice runs through your veins
Slowly draining all my life away
Perfection in a shell devoid of life
You leave a trail of broken dreams behind

God you are so beautiful
Til' I looked in your eyes

(Chorus)

Beautiful
So Beautiful
Beautiful
Til' I looked in your eyes
Beautiful
So Beautiful
So Beautiful til' I looked in your eyes
