"Wow. s is a bad word?" Yes, probably something to do with it being a slang term for an overly friendly activity undertaken (usually) by two consenting adult males. |

Now THIS would have been a much more attractive title for this thread . . . "Hobbits Were Dwarfs"

I totally read that as 'Hobbit Weredwarfs.' Which is *awesome.* |

Cacique, your Floresiensis Clan conversions are just WONDERFUL ! I recognize the bodies, what did you use for the head conversions?? Chick |

In my teens I bought 3 copies of BORED… and gave them all away to good friends. Happily they reissued it when the films came out. I love it, because everytime I read it I 'get' an American gag that passed over my head on the previous reading. Illustrates how every day in every way I'm getting better and better… |

"main island of Babeldaob" sounds like satirical name, on first glance it suggests it would read as vular when read backwards |

"I recognize the bodies, what did you use for the head conversions??" Chick, They are the original Foundry Pygmy heads, minus afros and headgear (clipped off). I reduced the skirts too. The hair and brow ridges where done with a little bit of putty (Green Stuff). Very, very easy to do. I also used a little bit of putty to smooth out the skirts and to make them look like furs/skins. Glad you like them. Much appreciated. CC |
