How weird is it to have a horror theme without a sale or new item from RawArt, Josh Crockett, or JoLab1985?

    Yeah, one might have expected something from any/all of those during a Horror phase... although we've gotten a lot of good stuff from them lately, so my wallet appreciates the break.

    (Maybe they're all busy on Furry 8?)

    It's as weird as this thing.

    Man O War

    What the heck *is* that? Extra-dimensional life form? Bioluminescent creature from the bowels of the earth or the depths of the ocean? Morph experiment with unexpected results? ;)

    I like it, whatever the case.

    I used to see Portugese Man-O-Wars all the time when I was a kid. Not sure why they wasn't up on the beach so often then, it wasn't supposed to be a common occurance.

    Haha

    In the D&D group, I'm the only non-furry, and the only straight guy, which is kind of hiliarious.

    It does seem kind of thin though, almost two-dimensional. But I've found it rather enchanting at times. Plus it's great for explaining how weird something is.

    I pity the fool that gets tangled up in one of those things, that's for sure! laugh

    Even when they are laying there on the beach, it was like "look out!"

    Sometime during the early 70s, making me around 7-9 years old, my father saved me from what !  assumed was a "balloon" on the beach I was going to jump upon a "pop"!  It was one of the Gulf side Florida beaches and as we walked along the powdery sands, we came across a group of beachcombers circled around a curious object.  We wriggled our way into the ring and I saw this azure colored "sac" entwined in iridescent, fiberous strands.  "Wow!  A balloon!" I shouted and steadied myself to leap upon it with my feet.  Realizing what I was about to do, my father seized me, maybe even lifting me off the snads to ensure I could not slip free of his grasp!

    Learning what I have about them since that time, I can not imagine the agony I would have experienced had I succeeded in my actions!

    Sincerely,

    Bill

    Heh, stepped on a jelly on a beach when I was about 9 or 10. It was definitely painful.

    I think this is about the time that somebody talks about RawArt, Josh Crockett, or JoLab1985, and gets accused of going off-topic.

  • TesseractSpaceTesseractSpace Posts: 1,582

    True.  Probably should include Sixus1 in the list of the usual suspects when there's a horror theme.

    the irukandji and box jellies are very nasty

    My late cousin encountered the latter in Bali and was in hospital  with liver failure for months, she recovered but years later died young in her 40's  from liver cancer and we wonder if it was not a coincidence

    LOL, and you would of been. I feared jellyfish more than sharks and stingrays when we went to the beach.

    I suppose we should generally avoid creatures that seem to have no weapons, don't run, and don't hide, but somehow still exist. Particularly if they're glowing.

    Aside from the glowing, anything that seems so small, cute, defenseless and delicious, and that by all laws of nature should be in something's stomach already, is definitely the most dangerous, deadly predator in the galaxy.  
    That doesn't of course apply to jellyfish, which already generally look kinda dangerous, especially the glowing ones... but if a glowing chipmunk or red panda approaches you... run... just run as fast as you can.

    So no sunbathing?

    Sunbathing is fine... if you want to get eaten by a lab-grown nuclear powered cat. Or a radioactive chipmunk. Or a Dolby Vision HDR10 compliant panda.

    I was more thinking of the sun itself - it fits the description (and secretly bombards you with harmful UV rays).

    I want my clones to glow in the dark... it's cheaper than glow sticks at rave parties and also I've been cloning myself...
