        it’s actually quite comfortable as long as you have the proper padding under the metal and the crotch area isn’t too big.

        Seriously, it’s no different than the various styles of plate armor worn for almost 1,900 years by greeks, romans, knights, and conquistadors…

        I am simultaneously disappointed and relieved that no artist, fan or otherwise has replied to this with “Challenge Accepted.”

        Also, luckily I couldn’t reliably draw Walky fully clothed, let alone less so, so I don’t feel the need as an artist to fill that void.

      Thank goodness for the Blue Jays, for a team owned by a major corporation they sure find ways of being cheap and losing their star players!

      At least the Leafs have “salary cap issues” as a legitimate excuse, the Blue Jays have nothing but apathy to blame.

          I don’t think it’d fit. But then again, I might be the only one who feels like Walky wanted the pajama jeans less to be a slob and more because jeans don’t have enough room.

    Seriously Walky, have you ever worn a metal bikini?

    It’d be super cold, it’d probably pinch, and it’s metal on your skin. That’s not comfy.

    • vlademir1

      June 14, 2019 at 12:31 am | #

      To be fair, you’d underpad the metal with leather or the like just as one wouldn’t wear medieval armor without a gambeson. Outside that very specific aspect regarding metal directly on one’s skin your point stands.

      • BBCC
        BBCC
        June 14, 2019 at 1:57 am | #

        In universe, it is indeed meant to be metal on skin. IRL, I’m pretty sure it was hard plastic. Regardless, it was still apparently uncomfortable as shit.

    • Yotomoe

          June 14, 2019 at 2:58 pm | #

          Lining it with leather or heavy cloth would remove the pinching aspect. Just ask Wendy Pini about chainmail bikinis…

      I have a metal bikini for a costume and all the joints are welded in a way it’s smooth. Hell yes to the cold to put on but it warms up super quick. No lining built in but made to have something under if chosen. (Cleaning products from cloth and metal don’t really play along). There are people who mix crochet and scale maile to make cool dragon stuffier. It’s just not something cleanable in a wearable setting would be my guess.

          Except that scene takes place after Mr. Arnold (Samuel L. Jackson) leaves to restore power on his own. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) runs to the shed and ‘finds’ Mr. Arnolds arm, while Muldoon is outside giving his meme-spawning one-liner.

              You are right about Gennaro being killed before Arnold, but Gennaro was killed by the T-Rex when the power was killed. And he was the second person killed after the raptor handler(Jophery Brown) is killed in the opening seconds of the movie and whose death setup the whole chain of events to get the core group to the island

      Does that count as a Monkey Island reference? The “second biggest” thing was a catch phrase in Get Smart before it, and I’ve heard it in a number of things, from Garfield to Madagascar.

        Sure, it’s a fairly common joke that a lot of things have used, but Get Smart and Monkey Island are the two that used it frequently enough to have the phrase considered a catch phrase. And just based on Willis’ approximate age, Monkey Island seems more likely.

I tend to stay away from any hair style that requires a handful of the little black metal demons because my hair eats them.

    I feel like the Raptor is warping time and space around it and making the dorm bigger on the inside then it looks from the outside, and that’s why everyone can still move around that gargantuan thing.

    2. How long until Amber and Dina make their own TARDIS?

The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the

Where did Hollywood go so wrong? I thought movies were supposed to be an escape from reality, a chance to put your worries aside and not have to think about any underlying ideas or concepts. Well, not anymore. theonion.com/you-can...

You Can’t Even Watch A Movie Anymore Without Seeing Some Theme Explored
I’ve loved movies ever since I was a little kid. Just stepping into that dark theater, with the smell of fresh popcorn, was like being transported to a whole other world. It used to be so magical.

It's not a new argument, of course, but Chesterton dismissed it effectively in 1908. "You will hear everlastingly... this argument that the rich man cannot be bribed. The fact is, of course, that the rich man is bribed; he has been bribed already. That is why he is a rich man."

Who can forget the Swiss-Austrian Union, or its famous capital - Istanbul.
AI generated ad by a company called Travello showing the 10 most visited cities in Europe, except the cities are hilariously poorly placed. London is in Wales, Paris is in Ireland, Rome is in France, Rom (yes like Rome but without an E) is in Spain, Barcelona is in Morocco, Prague is in Germany, Vienna is in Italy, Istanbul is in Austria, Milan is in Libya, and Antalya is correctly shown as in Turkey but is in the wrong place. Also a few of the borders like Switzerland and Austria or Hungary and Slovenia are missing.

wilbur, savvy enough to know he's in a comic strip but still not a great actor, awkwardly lifts a muffin up into frame so that we, the audience, understand that he has a muffin right now, which is very important narratively, but he's not really selling it well as an organic, human action
