I never intended to imply that he would mind, I was just trying to point out that ostensibly, the gubernatorial symbol is NOT intended for that purpose, I mean personally I'd find it rather uncomfortable. . .
It's ok, I didn't take it as a criticism.
It's just that I shouldn't be getting new ideas now, since I really need to be getting back to doing actual work instead of spending a whole month doing fanart! Oh well, if I get another idea I'll just let it happen. ^_^
God I love this thread. So very, very much. Ignis, thanks to your image I spent a while tinkering with Escape so that I could actually play it, and finally got it running again. For the record, if you try to use the Gubernatorial Seal with Elaine, Guybrush says 'I don't think she'd like that". Oh Guybrush, if you only knew what your wife does when you're not around...
I love the crossdressing pic Tope! Especially the look on Guybrush's face. I'd feel sorry for him, but then again I'd also like to see more pictures of him in women's underwear...
I wonder how into it Elaine would have to be to invite Winslow to join in? (does she even know about the scope of his 'adventures'?) All I know is Guybrush would be freaking out to the point of fainting.
I wonder how people thought up uses for animal intestines. I mean, were they just sitting around the camp fire staring at the leftovers after dinner?
Violins and other stringed instruments used to be made of intestine as well.
Leftovers? I'm pretty sure people ate those. Actually sausages in France are still made with intestines as the outside. Possibly in other European countries, too. I only learned recently that in the US you apparently use some kind of plastic instead?
I think it makes sense that when people had to hunt for their own food they used all of it, be it by eating it or in other ways. They had gone into enough trouble getting that things, they were going to use it as much as they could!
That's true. I'm just curious what made them think to use it in those ways, instead of just eating it. Like how the creative process occurred.
I'm thinking because they're long and stretchy?
I'm more curious who decided trying to drink milk from their cow. Or letting it ferment and then eat some.

When I was really young, I used to think that if cows weren't milked that they would explode or something. Obviously that is ridiculous, but it made sense at the time.

Lol yeah, to hear some people that's the way it goes. I remember some guy tried to convince me that unlike other mammals, cows produce milk even if they haven't had a baby, it's just their regular state.
Er... no, they make them reproduce then take away the calves so they can have the milk. Did you think cows were like milk-factories especially for humans?
On the other hands, just like in humans, some cows do produce extra milk, more than the calf would eat, and farmers would need to milk them because it was painful for her. I assume they just decided to drink it there and then rather than throw it away? And then when they liked the taste they started breeding some just for that?
Just theorising of course.
I think a lot of these things developed in a very long time so we can wonder how people came up with it because the situation is much different now, but at the time it would have been just normal due to the way they were living and stuff.

That seems like a reasonable explanation. Today they probably inject the cows with hormones to produce more milk (which is another reason I don't like drinking cow's milk). Poor cows.

Well now it has been generations, and the cows bred for producing milk were selected so they produce more and more, just like the ones bred for their meat were selected to be more and more beefy, so they probably all produce a lot of extra milk. Still, a lot of the calves are killed and become veal and stuff.
I don't doubt hormones are used, but I think that's not the only reason they produce more milk. I'm pretty sure the cows that are in the intensive milking industry wouldn't do well at all if they were released in the wild because they would just have way too much milk.
I think it's like with everything, the intensive ones are meant to maximise profit in a lot of ways. If you want product that are... less like that, it's usually best to go to smaller producers, they usually can produce less because they take a better care of it all, so it's better quality too.
Not everyone can afford to do that regularly, but even once in a while, it can make you feel good and less helpless (if you were feeling helpless to begin with, of course). Plus it supports your local people which is nice.
I love how we can go from something to something completely different like that

"Heyyy, I only wore that ONCE!"
Sure, Guybrush. . sure. :rolleyes:
I screamed a little in my mouth.
Carry on.
God, just stop me now. >_<
Guilty.
lol.
Thank you ever so much for making me think about it again.
*whistles*
I'm surprised no one said this sooner.

I was wondering when doodo would discover this thread.
Really? I thought you were already that way.
Or you could tell us you've posted such an item/items on that place we must not speak of where such items inevitably go...
Gross.
Are you making fun of my Irish ancestral dialect usage?
Immature.
