Exactly like that. But, sadly, without the cool car.

Hopefully also without the terminal cliff diving too.

Timelies! Got totally behind this weekend for no good reason.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

S60 - Yeah, their props warehouse was earthquaked, but it's still LA, for fuck's sake. The idea that there was no fake snow to be had in HOLLYWOOD AT CHRISTMASTIME was eyerolly to the extreme. (Especially knowing that most fake snow is made out of soap, which is about a zillion times cheaper and easier to find than friggin' coconuts.)

What is even happening?

Hivemind...

What do you call the kind of animal trap where a big metal jaw-like thing catches the animal's leg? Also, to what does it attach? I need to know the basic parts and am too light on terms to Google wisely.

A leghold trap?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I think they're just called "leg hold traps." They are usually attached by a chain to a tree or a stake.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I always called them bear traps. I should call my brother in law--he used to trap small animals using these nasty boogers.

I swear I've also heard of them as "bear traps". And I know a very large version of the same basic device is called a "man trap".

Heh, x-post, natch.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Carrot Top, can't say, but is Tony Little a M-to-F transsexual?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

S60 I've grated fresh coconut, and not only is it difficult, it looks absolutely nothing like snow. At best, you could make it look like sleet. Oily sleet.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

If you wanted to make snow, why not just use Frosted Flakes? I mean really -- they are flakes, that are frosted! So what if they're a little yellow? That's the smog!

They're Grrrreat!
