...The strange thing is, we've got a 'Jedi Starfighter' design in HMW as an "Aerial Rescue Vehicle", the SW/TF line has a Mace Windu/Jedi Starfighter figure, and Mace Windu was played by Samuel L. Jackson who was also in Snakes On A Plane...

What this means, I have no clue, but I'm sure that I'm still over-thinking it...

It means you probably need to stop drinking.

And I've also been reminded that we did do a Snakes on a Plane alt hunt back when the movie came out. No idea if it was before the great Glyph-wipe of 2005 though, I'll have a forum dig and see if I can find it.

I've been running these for so damn long lol

Psh, you call that barbecue sauce? I’m from Texas - I only cover myself in the finest and most flavorful barbecue sauces before offering myself up as a snack to hungry Sharkticons! :-P

The only use for an actual BBQ over here in the UK is to summon rain.

We use many things to summon rain. In fact at last count, we used all of the things.
In fact, in fact, I think it just rains a lot here.

I can haz winter? Think I put my coat on once last year.

Anyway ... I was a little surprised at the number of Sharkticons that were donated. Four people gave them up (five if you count mine because I was on track to accidentally make him a level 12)

Eating out isn't to everyone tastes I imagine. Wait, is that rude? I'm not sure.

I work outdoors on a farm all day and I only needed to put mine on for a few weeks in deepest darkest January. The rest of my team (all female) have 6 layers and a hot water bottle all year long.

The local term for them is 'Nesh'.

By which I hope you mean a 'barbeque grill', Psych', otherwise you might end up subjected to a lecture on the difference between "barbeque" and "grilling" that would make that one of G1 Optimus Prime's about "freedom and responsibility" look tame... :P

We're only just North of Sheffield, and everything South of Sheffield is France.

What manner of livestock?
Here in GMT -6 hours our herd is mainly Charolais cattle.

By the way, I thought the BBQ term over there was "Barby" :MATTEL:

Donkeys.
I work for a HUGE UK and International chartiy that rescues/rehomes them, then retrains them to provide therapy services for additional needs kids and adults in recovery from things like cancer and PTSD.

I have the most un-Decepticon-like job ever, and it's amazing.

This is some of the lads (with my favourite mare at the very back, fast asleep.)

So awesome! Don't think there is a donkey alt.

Yeah, sadly there isn't one. Closest is a Mach-Kick horse alt, but horses are just crap donkeys.

At least donkeys make sense for your region of the globe, Psych'; here in GMT-5, somehow we've developed a strangely large number of alpaca farms...

Donks are desert creatures Turbo, last I looked we didn't have much in the way of those in the northern UK. :lol:

Alpaca are hilarious, basically just giraffe-sheep. Wool can be worth a fortune if treated right though which probably explains all the farms.

We have them here in Arizona. I'm not to far from a place that's nicknamed "Jackass Junction."

Burn, you live in Australia, I don't know if anything there's supposed to make sense. I remember learning a year or two ago that you guys actually have so many camels down there that they're considered a road hazard. Until then, I didn't even know there were camels IN Australia...

You call them 'desert creatures', I call them 'farm animals'. Different countries, different views.

Probably. Alpaca and Llamas do seem to have a lot of wool from what I've seen over the years...

Very true. We don't use them for farming over here (although Ireland still does). Most of our work is in the Mediterranean where at about half of the 50 mil world donkey population lives, some of those poor guys really need our help.
Just educating fat **** tourists not to ride them over there is hard enough.


I should set up a Sharkticon Sanctuary. Anyone else want to donate one?

There wasn't originally. They were brought over from the Middle East to help during the gold rush and to help explore.

Now, they're actually a major export BACK to the Middle East because of their meat. Apparently Australian camels taste better than those in the Middle East.
