    Pardon me for saying so, Maia, but doesn't that strike you as a rather violent wish?

    Jet Jaguar was Toho's attempt to get into the Ultraman fad in Japan. He debuted in the Godzilla movie "Godzilla vs. Megalon", which ranks as one of the worst Godzilla flicks ever (let alone of of the worst movies period).
    Still, I've alawys respected the the Ultra-man wannabe. He gets the crap beat out of him by a roach with drill arms (Megalon) and Gigan. But he took it all with a smile and got right back up for more!
    Not to mention his name is awesome.

    yup!... but then, so is wishing to rid the planet of aids... killer species, or killer virus, there's little difference other than that one does it willingly and with full knowledge of what it's doing... and, though both cause horrendous suffering and undeserved death, the two-legged one does it to all species, not just one or two...

    but let's not let the thread get highjacked over a debate on this, ok?

    love 'n hugs, m

    My new sig is Stewie from Family Guy. He's so funny.

    I wanted to get that pic of Dancing master Chief but the forum doesn't accept moving images for avatars and the file was too large anyway. oh well.

    Hey, yeah, I keep meaning to tell you how awesome that is. "vs. Megalon" rules, and was an absolutely fundamental part of my upbringing. That had to have been the worst dubbing ever used on film.

    mine is of my "in-laws" pet peacock. It wandered over one day and never left. then a female (pea-hen) came along and never left and then they had babies and out of 5 only one survived. So now they have 3. They are absolutely beautiful-almost alien like when you get really close and see how they vibrate their tale in a dance.

    The new one is a quick sketch I doodled on my whiteboard at work, around the pair of magnets that reminded me of eyes.

    I was testing my digital camera's infrared capability by taking a picture in the total dark of some wire fencing stacked in my basement when my cat Pookie got into the picture.

    i like it because although my face looks strangely yellow, my shoulder looks elegant, It's the best thing about the photo.

    Edit: seems i dont have the photo just yet!
    Edit Edit: There we go. and now im not sure if i like the rest of the picture.

    My newest obsession is an old copy of Disgaea for PS2... and this is a random character from it.

    Plus, it's a penguin.

    It IS pink, though, which is vaguely scary...

    My current avatar is a self portrait in pencil. Clearly, I am not a world-class artist. :)
