Just got to pick up on the subtle differences between tummy growing and mouth growling.


I hear the hungry is a more focused hunting behavior for a T-Rex, involving running and biting, going crazy, rather of a more general tiny arms flailing roaring thing, or so it has been said. :)

I'm pretty sure I will associate Wes with the phrase: "emotionally splendid male" from here on in.

Asking the hard questions this morning in the office...

Katina There's a character named Dr. Crusher? Does she have giant robot clamps?
Diego Beverly Crusher
Robot She has tenuous grasp on medicine and the prime directive.
Katina If she can't crush a car with her bare claws, then I don't think she deserves that name.
Diego At least she spends more time in sickbay than Dr. McCoy did
Robot Point.
Robot But how the federation made her a captain eventually... yikes.
Diego Enterprise is in a firefight and people are getting hurt and McCoy is hanging out on the bridge, then goes to engineering to help modify a torpedo (why...?)
Diego Haha yeah, that surprised me too.
Robot I theorized that maybe the first Enterprise was just seriously poorly manned? I dunno. Why does the captain ever beam off the ship?
Katina Beer run?
Diego They keep their entire senior staff in a dome on the top of the ship. Why don't enemies just shoot the dome?
Robot WHY DIDN'T THE HOBBITS JUST RIDE THE EAGLES TO MT DOOM??!!?!?
Sharaya RIGHT?!!
Diego They were being taught to fish!
Katina Gandalf wanted them to walk because he thought it'd build character.
Katina ... and/or they were trying to get their Fitbit steps.

Gandalf told them to. It was the meaning of his oft-misunderstood final words before slipping into the depths of Khazad-dum after the Balrog.

They didn't use the eagles because doing so would have defeated the purpose of a stealthy mission—the eagles are conspicuous and would have been immediately targeted by the Nazgul or the crebain swarms, not to mention archers on the enormous walls. Realizing the danger, Sauron would have put all his guards on the volcano, making it impossible to get the ring in without landing. Additionally, the eagles were their own sentient race, and they were never keen on going into danger. And I do wonder how flight would have worked as the ring got heavier and heavier.

*Literally cannot help but do this*
