[nutter's thoughts]

NAH's new avatar has had me scratching my head since it changed...then, today at work, in the middle of a silent office i said, "AHA. IT'S A DUCK AND A LITTLE DUCK!"

I got some strange looks... :wink:

I thought it was a dinosaur! Don't ask :mrgreen:

I've come close to doing things like that before, mostly i just laugh out loud which leads members of my family (expecialy my dad :roll: ) to ask whats so funny.

It's a PAIR OF DUCKS?! Where? *scratches head and frowns deeply* This must be like one of those Magic Eye things: I totally can't see it!

Alexia
07-28-2004, 01:45 PM
LOL I'm SO glad that someone else didn't know what it was! the little duck is in front of the big duck, they are swimming towards the top left of the pic.

What did you think it was? :lol:

taya17
07-28-2004, 01:49 PM
At first I thought it was a butterfly of some sort, but on closer inspection I decided that it was just a Random Out-Of-Focus Blob.

OHO! It IS a pair of ducks. Thanks, I was wondering what in the heck that was, too. XD

PointyHairedJedi

Duck? 'Tis no duck woman! 'Tis the fearsome bestie known as the Loch Ness Monster!

No, I don't know what prompted that either.

Alexia
07-28-2004, 08:16 PM
:roll: In that case then I can understand why many people think they have seen ol' Nessie...there must be at least 10 loch ness monsters swimming in my local duck pond :wink:

taya17
07-28-2004, 11:35 PM
My good friend was showing me pictures she took while she was visiting Loch Ness... the tour boats there have little black blobs stuck on the windows so you can simulate the wee beastie when you take photos of the lake from inside the boat. :lol:

It`s a PAIR OF DUCKS?

I thought it was a crocodile! :shock:

Alexia

LMAO nic...i wonder if there are support groups for people who get too attached to certain smilies...

Oh, and crocodile crossed my mind to :wink:

At first I thought it was a butterfly of some sort, but on closer inspection I decided that it was just a Random Out-Of-Focus Blob.

Given that I actually took the picture in question myself, that wouldn't be a bad guess ;)


For whatever reason, my usual butterfly avatar got de-linked in the move, I'd been meaning to change avs again just for kicks just before the move, and this one was already uploaded to the web, so... :)

(Oh, and isn't the baby duckling cuuute? :D)Oh, yeah; when they're little, they're just the cutest little balls of fluff.

Then they grow up.

NAHTMMM
07-29-2004, 11:30 PM
...And they're still cute :P :mrgreen:

Ah, so they are ducks? :roll:

I still don't see it.

:roll: LOL, Horray! I was right! :mrgreen:

Did we mention what a good pic it was? :wink: Yes, the wikkle duck is cute. Not nearly as cute as a wikkle lamb though :D

taya17
07-30-2004, 09:13 AM
I agree with Nitses, it looks more like a crocodile than a pair of ducks :D

Ducks are tasty. Especially the young ones.

taya17
07-30-2004, 02:55 PM
I wouldn't know, I haven't really eaten little ducks before. And mostly I go only for the breast meat anyway.

I prefer chicken.

Alexia
07-30-2004, 03:02 PM
PJH you meanie! I have never eaten duck and never will. My reason? They are cute :D Lambs...well, i'm afraid its too late. They are really stupid to taste THAT good. I wouldn't eat them for their cuteness, but, alas, they taste baaaaary good *dodges rotten fruit*

taya17
07-30-2004, 03:07 PM
Really? I can't stand the taste of mutton. Or beef. Pork I can barely tolerate. If not for seafood, I'd have gone vegetarian a long time ago!

Alexia
07-30-2004, 03:12 PM
Yeah, sorry, I'm a bit of a carviore! I love lamb and beef. but don't eat them very often because of the price! Chicken is the most common meat I eat :mrgreen:

Fish...now fish is the BEST. Half my family wont even smell it, let alone eat it so it is rare, but i could give up all meat for fish every day :D

taya17
07-30-2004, 03:20 PM
At the risk of sounding like Gollum, fish is niiiiiiiice. Sashimi is delicious, especially salmon sashimi. Give it to us raw, and wriggling!

I also like squid, crusteaceans and various assorted shellfish. Seafood, mmm. I think I shall run away and live on the Adriatic coast, yessiree! ;)

NeoMatrix
07-30-2004, 03:23 PM
I like seafood too, especially catfish, crab legs, shrimp, and others

Alexia
07-30-2004, 03:25 PM
I ate sushi for lunch the other day and everyone went "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew"

I love it :mrgreen: Mmmmm raw fish. On the bright side, if i'm ever stuck on a life raft in the middle of the sea, i will have plenty of food :D

taya17
07-30-2004, 03:30 PM
*sings to the tune of "I Eat Cannibals"* I eat ra-aw fish! It's a yummy dish!

Sashimi is delicious ... *ding!*
... especially salmon sashimi. *dingdingdingding!*

Mmmm ... sashimi. :D
*sings to the tune of "I Eat Cannibals"* I eat ra-aw fish! It's a yummy dish!Or maybe:

They eat raw fish--they fight a lot

Yeah, I see how it's supposed to be a couple of ducks, but I still don't see it being them. :roll:

PointyHairedJedi
08-02-2004, 04:40 PM
That's because those aren't the ducks you're looking for...

*Waves hand*

catalina_marina
08-02-2004, 05:59 PM
No, it's because there are no ducks. You should really get your references straight. :roll:

Alexia
08-02-2004, 08:36 PM
No no no, there is no SPOON! And after PJH gets hold of them there probably won't be any ducks either...:mrgreen:

PointyHairedJedi
08-03-2004, 10:25 AM
PJH? Don't tell me he's started hanging around here too... :wink:

Now what did I tell you? There are no ducks! :D

Alexia
08-03-2004, 07:38 PM
Yeah, PJH. Don't you remember him? Nice bloke. Bears little or no resemblance to PHJ. I can see why you might think I made a mistake there... :wink:

PointyHairedJedi
08-03-2004, 09:04 PM
PJH: Hi guys.
PHJ: Egad! He has returned!
PHJ: The prodigal son!
PHJ: Do you even know what that means?
PHJ: ...Not as such, no.
PJH: I see things haven't changed much around here.
PHJ: Well, I got a new haircut, which of course PHJ had to have done the same as me.
PHJ: That was a coincidence, I keep telling you!
PHJ: You can tell he's really buying it too.
PHJ: Persistance always PHJ's forté.
PJH: That and really bad hair.
PHJ: Hey!
PHJ: Now I remember why we chucked you out in the first place. Be gone with you!
PJH: Fine. I wasn't planning on stopping anyway. You're all a leetle strange for me.
PHJ: Says the man with the duck on his head.
PJH: What duck?
PHJ: Right, stop that. It's silly.
PHJ: And that is a bad thing why? This parrot is dead by the way. And I'd like some cheese.
PJH: I think I'll be going now....

:lol: We should do a 5 minute 5MV forums fiver! Although, it may cause some deaths...

Five Minute Five Minute Voyager Forums

PHJ: Once apon a time there was a fiver about the forumgoers of the 5MV website...
Catalina_Marina: Oh, you're not starting like that are you?
PHJ: Well, actually, I was. Yes. Why?
Catalina_Marina: What kind of a start do you call? It's not very funny is it?
17: *THWAPS PHJ* :twisted:

Hmmm...maybe not :wink: :mrgreen:

08-04-2004, 03:40 PM
Oh great. PHJ and 17 get the short version of their names, but you just have to spell mine completely. Not to mention incorrectly. :roll:

:wink:

PointyHairedJedi
08-04-2004, 05:32 PM
Mwahaha.

Actually, come to think of it, we're probably long overdue for a BaW fiver.

Indeed! :D

NAHTMMM

It may be my eyes...but i didnt spell it wrong did i? :shock: :roll: :?: I know I am typo queen but still...!

And on the shortnings, 17 would kill me if i even thought of typing T,A,Y, and A anywhere near her and PointyHairedJedi is far too much effort. I thought I could spell you fill name cat...!

catalina_marina
08-05-2004, 02:59 PM

catalina_marina

See the difference? :wink:

EDIT: And I don't think 17 would kill you if you tag the number behind it. It *is* her username, after all.

Alexia
08-05-2004, 03:12 PM
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH...lol. Sorry! I have this thing with things starting with capital letters!

You're probably right about 17, but i feel it is always safer to ere on the side of caution :wink:

catalina_marina
08-05-2004, 03:48 PM
Heh. No worries. At least you didn't spell Catalina_marina, with only one capital letter, like some I could mention. :wink:

PointyHairedJedi
08-05-2004, 10:22 PM
What's that, Catalina_marina? It annoyes you more when only one uppercase letter is used instead of two?

I'll go over here now. I think I here taya calling.

:P

catalina_marina
08-06-2004, 09:53 PM
Ten-inch nails? Why only ten? :twisted:

Oh and by the way, what's an inch? :roll:

PointyHairedJedi
08-06-2004, 09:54 PM
I haven't a clue. But "twenty-centimetre nails" doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

Nan
08-06-2004, 10:28 PM
More like 25 cm nails, Pointy. :D

catalina_marina

Ahem...

Cat: So, PHJ, how would you feel about one nice TrekBBS meet-up?
PHJ: I suppose it`s a good idea. What kind of meet-up exactly?
Cat: Well, we go to a meet-up, except we don`t, and end up together for the rest of the weekend.
PHJ: And what else would you want, huh?
Cat: Well I don`t know, maybe some dancing!
PHJ: And I suppose you`ll expect me to kiss you afterwards!
Cat: Well maybe I will!
PHJ: Well then, uppity Hollander, who needs meet-up? Why don`t I just kiss you right now and get it over with?
Cat: Well, evil English bastard, why don`t you?

*SMOOCH*

Cat: You`re right! Who needs meet-up?

*SMOOCH*

PHJ is absolutely right, you guys are all amateurs. Here, have a look: see these giant mutant flesh-eating spiders? They're trained to attack anything which has this collar at the moment I give them this telepathic signal by pressing this button here... so, I'm going to put this collar on PHJ... and now, everybody, stand back... I'm pressing the button....


BWAAHAHAHAHAHAA!

PointyHairedJedi
08-08-2004, 07:09 PM

:D

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to scream in agony for a while. Oh, and Nic, I think you're like Homer Simpson - whatever I say, you'll hear it as what you want to hear it as. For instance, if I say I'm completely in love with catalina_marina you'll doubtless see it as something completely different than what I actually said. :roll:

Why? It's not like I said I was completely in love with you or anything. In fact I said the exact opposite - that I'm completely in love with you.

Sheesh, some people are strange.
