  • Ours have generaly eaten the tails (which may not be that much of an improvement).

    Perhaps the farmer's wife is hoping to distract from the qestion of why a passenger would go into the staff-only kitchen?

    Actually I think on reflection that it might be muricide - Latin is deliberately confusing - but having exerted myself to check the dictionary it  didn't have either version.

    And now I feel betrayed - an online search did confirm muricide where the Concise Oxford didn't.

    I was busy creating the "Musicide!" render and didn't see your muricide message. So I stuck with musicide. 

    I think "musicide" must be when Richard starts singing?

    That's hilarious! Perhaps he will serenade people in a Venice gondola.

    Good inspiration. Can you catch an ice cream cone in your paw, I wonder?

    Claws help. Both front paws in a clapping motion, one on either side while standing up on the hind legs. There are 3 freebie Zeus poses that were added about 15 hours ago that show the fleabag standing up on its hind legs in the way envisaged, just amend the front leg poses. Coincidence or what? Regards, Richard.

    It's definitely 'musicide' if I start singing. In church, even my wife edges away from me.

    Regards,

    Richard

    The Real Musicide

    Other Richard: Ron, how far is it between Paris and Venice? We've been on this train for weeks.
    Ron: We must have taken an indirect route. It is not that far as the crow flies. 

    ...

    And at last our guys arrive in Venice and go for a gondola ride on the canal.

    Richard Haseltine: ("singing" out of tune and off key) This gondola ride is inspiring me to burst into song. I think we should have a Catalympics singing competition here in Venice. We can call it the Venetion Voice Vying.
    Ron, Jack, Other-Richard and gondolier: No!
    Ron: Richard, you're giving me a migraine! You are not an excellent singer.

    Excellent idea, though - the event could be decided by the proportion of the audience that throws itself into the canal rather than listen to the singing.

    The audience might cheat and throw the cats into the canal instead  Maybe Jack shold see if that works on Richard ( he's an excellent swimmer, so he'll be fine ).meanwhile the gondola can ( sail, pole, punt, whatever gondola's do ) into the distance. (well Google reckons it's sculling and the 'pole' is a single paddle).

    I could climb up the paddle and shake myself dry, allowing the others to ... enjoy my singing in the shower.

    I see some excellent ideas for renders here, but I'm preparing to travel in a few days. I probably won't have much rendering time before I leave. I'll be back in November. As ever, I get great pleasure from the comments posted here. Thanks for the continued participation and inspiration. smiley

    Perfect! 

    ETA: By which I meant the image of Richards's wonderful song (I suspect the others just don't appreciate fine shrieking singing)

    Hope your travels also prove to be perfect.

    Ron also gives himself a migraine by singing in the shower.

    I smile when I look at it, too. Did you notice that Richard singing used one of your recent standing poses? It was perfect for this scene. Thanks for those new poses.

    I did notice , and thought the 'other Richard ' character was in a variant of the Meerkat standing poses too, while protecting his ears. I have a few more soon, but I've created 304 poses recently and am pretty posed out for a while. Regards, Richard.

    I actually can't remember what pose I started with for Other-Richard (you), but it could easily have been one of your new ones.
