On a scale from W.C. Fields to Foster Brooks, how wasted do you think she was during this tirade?

"The only thing prohibiting plant growth here is lack of soil. If there were soil, there would be plants growing. We're laser-focused on that..."

What a tool.

For a while, it was random TV stations that never sent tapes back to the BBC. But yeah, most of it's been from collections for the past five plus years, I think, you're probably right.

I guess everything out there that's "undiscovered" is in private collections at this point...

Look look look:

I make like $2 per shirt. There are roughly 330m+ people in the US. For giggles, let's say 1/3 are working adults.

That's 100m people. I only need less than a tenth (1-3m) to buy one shirt each. I get funds to take care of family, you get wearable art (or sarcasm)! ๐Ÿ˜†

My sister and I found one about six inches long on our walk the other day. Also returned to the wild from being stuck on a concrete walkway.

Sounds like there might be an announcement on Sunday (3/15) regarding something new for #Firefly ...

Thoughts? Concerns? High-pitched giggles?

Pencil drawing of a friend's character, Feargus MacRath. Short beard and mustache with shoulder-length hair. Muscular, with a short-sleeved peasant-style shirt. Drape from great kilt over left shoulder, and wearing spiked bracers.

Myself and a handful of my friends will have these little lizards to give away at Gary Con, for as long as they last!

If you see someone in a Forge of Ice shirt, ask us about our lizards!

selling miniatures, because his design would sell *so* many figures. I would then take a cut of that business to be reimbursed for my time.

They usually get pretty rude and upset when you decline their "opportunity of a lifetime".

Almost any miniature sculptor has a similar story: got contacted by a potential client regarding a sculpting commission. I responded with price per mm (standard in the business), and received instead a counter-offer: I would sculpt the item he wanted *for free*, and we would go into business...
