Yeah but there's something much cooler about a Predator figurine made from scrap metal as opposed to a picture of you... in a mankini...
12-year-olds are cheaper. On-topic, I finally finished all the chocolate I got for Christmas. I feel simultaneously very full and very empty Oh well, time to buy more chocolate.
Umm maybe not then. Wait, your sisters 12 and has seen Borat Back on topic, I'm also getting an Asus Xonar DS with money I got late. Realtec will only detect the front speakers when playing from Last.fm, Youtube ect under XP but is fine in Ubuntu 11.10. tried to update drivers but Realtec site don't have them and recommends being viewed with Netscape 7.02 and MSI live update 5 is useless
OK, OK! I get the message already! I'm not the best photographer by any stretch but I hope this gives at least an idea what it looks like. Apparently the shop my brothers bought this from has a life size alien made the same way and apparently they're all one offs rather than mass produced. I get the impression that I might have to sell my soul (perhaps "lease with a option to buy" would be a better description) to afford that one but if it's made by the same sculptor I want it, sight unseen - just because!
That is awesome. I remember looking into this a few years ago and there are props companies that make full-size replicas of the Alien, true to the film, but back when I looked in the early 00's they were about £5,000. Still, you'd have fun waking people up with it
I'd prefer the scrap metal one off but that's just me. I still want a full set of storm trooper armour but it's a touch expensive to get them in my size - 6', 50" chest Agreed, I unwrapped the axe first (it's a separate piece) and had certain homicidal thoughts towards the children but the rest of it was just a bonus. I suspect that the artist in question will be getting a significant amount of my dosh!
My Girlfriend bought me some Lego and Alan...an albino corn snake, hes a rescue from the RSPCA (where she works) Pictured is Alan having his Christmas day pinkie. And don't worry he cant ingest any of the Lego.
Meanwhile, started reading one of my other presents, Habibi. It's enormous and awesome, about 700 pages of meticulous artwork that puts Watchmen to shame. Also mostly about theology, the history of Islam and middle-eastern culture, so that's me happy for the next two weeks
My wife/daughter bought me a Lego set (Battle of Endor), but I think my favorite gift was a framed cross-stitch that a friend made for me. It features the phrase, "in a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit." The font is in the style of Hobbitish script, and it is bordered with Dwarven runes. As a Tolkien enthusiast I truly appreciated the text; it is the first thing Tolkien ever wrote concerning Hobbits, even before he had really settled what a Hobbit actually was.
