I'm really quite nice. Honest.

I tend to ask a lot of questions, which can come off as
argumentative, prompting more than one person to suggest busting out a
gag of some sort or another. But honestly, I'm just trying to
understand. I have this insatiable curiosity thing going.

I just can't help it!

As a complete tangent, I was noodling about with assorted animal parts the
other day to try and find the most useful cougar-based shape (don't ask),
and ended up with something large, furry, fanged, and eight-limbed. Except
this version would weigh over a hundred kilos, leap ten metres from a
running start, and have enough hands to play piano duets with itself.

I'm not sure if the cuddly mammalian aspect of the cougar outweighs the
four very long and spidery arms sticking out of its torso, though.

And with that disturbing mental image, we return you to your regularly

Your restraint is admirable. I'm having quite a hard time resisting, myself.

Stacie, I urge you never to watch the films Tarantula, Arachnophobia, Eight
Legged Freaks, or the opening scenes of Raiders of the Lost Ark. We will be

I have actually seen Arachnophobia and Raiders of the Lost Ark. I have an
uneasy relationship with the two copies of Eight Legged Freaks that live at
the video store where I do an occasional shift.

It would never even cross my mind to let anything called "Tarantula" into my
DVD player.

I can attest that handcuffs are definitely not for *self* restraint.

I tested this recently, when I wanted to take a photograph of me in
handcuffs. I made sure I had the key handy (and cellphone), and I even
practiced turning the key in the lock.

It turns out to be really *difficult* to operate a camera on a tripod with
your hands cuffed behind your back--it's WAAAAAY up THERE.

I'd also not recommend the old Three Stooges movie "Have Rocket, Will
Travel", about them going to Venus. There's this giant, um... it has eight
hairy, er... and it breathes fire. Also, the Boys just weren't as funny as
they used to be.

And if I actually knew such folk, an introduction would cost you a *LOT*

Was wondering why you wanted said pictures. You could use the timer as a
method of taking pictures when you're all cuffed up.

No, to know their intended use. I have a very active imagination, so I
sort of can see them already.

Possibly a rather nice sort of trouble, though.

This just in! Scientists successfully cross spiders and wasps! The result:
flying spiders with stingers. One biochemist was quoted as saying: "This is
a red-letter day for science. I have no doubt that this data will lead to
great advances in the field of OH MY GOD THEY'RE ESCAPING! RUN FOR YOUR
LIVES!"

LOL

I *did* use the timer, otherwise it would have been impossible to do alone.

It was still pretty difficult, because the time to get from behind the
camera to in front of it is pretty short. I had to stretch in a difficult
direction to press the shutter, and then be careful not to knock over the
tripod as I escaped.

Ah, why I *wanted* to take the picture. That's a good question. No reason
except I thought it would make a good picture, really. Kind of like the cute
dinosaur faces on your pendant. (I thought recently, ooh, I should like to
see a cat head pendant from Rocky, btw. . . .just a stray thought I had.)

I did think the pic would appeal to a certain few friends, which inspired
it.

Hmm. You're getting *much* warmer. ;-)

I am much more likely to respond to tribute than cash.
