I know Ostrom's name but I don't know where from. Is he mentioned in SoD, perchance? And what's his Big Thing?

Also, how exactly is Deinonychus pronounced?

... I suspect the reason he gets *called* Jack Horner is that very nursery rhyme. I think his name is actually John Horner, to be honest.

As far as I'm concerned he can go sit in the corner, though, because the man who let them make Dilophosaurus spit poison and call something blatantly based on Deinonychus 'Velociraptor mongoliensis' DOES NOT GET COOKIES.

NO cookies for him. Bad Horner, go to your corner.

Me and Gideon Mantell and John Ostrom will eat all the cookies by ourselves. Owen, Marsh and Cope can go to the other three corners for all being over-competitive and horrible to each other.

If so, no surprise - who'd want him in the middle of the room with the sane people?

If you want to study everything, you can always study linguistics with me, although if tonight's Old Norse nouns are anything to go by, it's possible your talents lie elsewhere. I, on the other hand, had to have a pint to restore some sanity when I realised I was enjoying conjugating the verb "to slay".

Unless on serious forums you go around shouting Westboro sentiments in which case it's still not the slash you should be ashamed of XP, slash is nothing more than a different kind of romance.

Made my sister a purse, a few years back, and I did a Valentino scarf. Haven't done much since, I should probably start up again. Et tu?


I know a girl who makes donuts out of yarn. :)

They're all still questions; tacking on a "and another thing" post to your previous thread is far preferable to throwing up a new thread, y'know?

hS

...and put on more and more clothing throughout the routine?

Because there's absolutely no reason not to celebrate it twice.

Well, I see at least one reason : avoid flooding the board with trivia.

She did a good job with the unicorn, didn't she?

You mean you had faith in mankind to begin with?

You're too idealistic for this world.

Aaaaaaand I put my name in the subject line...

So, I was running some PPC links through Archive.org when I came across one that appears to contain an exclusive Department, All-Purpose, which seems to be the essential reverse of the Freelance Division.

So I made a wiki article on it: http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/All-Purpose_Department

If you are brave, young one, descend into the thread and view the pictures for yourself. That should answer your question right out.

Because there's absolutely no reason not to celebrate it twice.

I've never seen a non-modded MLP wearing any clothes at all, to the best of my knowledge, so why cast them as strippers? Would make for a terribly short routine.

No-one ever asks them to clarify the patently insane things they say.

I once read a line in a historic-setting novel that just about sums it up:

"Only bards and pregnant women need never explain their actions."

And for some odd reason I own Ice Age 2, but not #1... oh, wait: my father bought it for me after I rented the first one and showed signs of approval. I didn't like it that much, but... eh. It's generosity, and I'm grateful.

Totally off topic now...

Was the palaeontologist Gideon Mantell? Or Richard Owen? Or O.C. Marsh? Or E.D. Cope? Or Bob Bakker? Or Jack Horner (a.k.a. He Who Shall Not Be Named (he was JP's 'scientific advisor'), or John Ostrom?

Studying everything is a wonderful dream. I wish I had the time to! As it is, I must confine myself to molluscan evolution :D

seeing as one of my closest friends is an Ice Age fanatic (she watched Ice Age 1 and 2 once a day EACH for the first two trimesters of her pregnancy) ...

I think it could be fun to make something that's a similar horrific corruption of cuteness, but if one wants to go that way one should make one's own cute thing to start with. No ruining childhoods that way.

Then resurrect them and do it again.
