It only took about 7 minutes to download, and I had a quick look at it......
'Hiccup' LOL!!

One thing I saw that irked me..... when Hiccup lost his leg. One day a hero,
the next an amputee, and jumps out of bed and starts walking around on it.

I hate to be pedantic, but it probably trivialises the situation and gives
false ideas to kids when they see that sort of thing.


But good visuals overall.

Steering vane, yes.... aileron, rudder, whatever you want to call it.

Haven't seen it in whole as yet, might be watching it tonight with the
"Finding Nemo", "Toy Story", "Ratatouille" and "Ice Age" nut ;-)

I'm *sure* she'll like it :-)

Not having been up close and personal with any Dragons of late (ex-
girlfriends aside!!) I'm not too sure on what their behaviour is in general.

And being a dog only person...... cat personalities aren't a speciality of
mine either. Even though the psycho ones seem to like me.......

The one and only picture of me with a cat.... circa 1993, Los Angeles, in the
Venice Beach apartment of my then Theoretical Physicist wife.... her
words..... "You are the only one in the world who has ever been able to hold
Clarissa for more than 5 seconds. For some reason she liked you."

I called the cat Psycho, it used to attack everyone :-)

Psycho and I used to have fun together. I'd carry her around the apartment
block and people would come up and go "Ooooo, what a gorgeous cat, can I
pet her?"

"Yeah, sure. Here, hold her for a bit." :-)

Maybe parvain shouldn't drink so much while posting. Then things wouldn't
be so "fuzzy".

I'd ask her/it to post a picture of itself, but I don't want to be held
responsible for a multitude of people having to get therapy after viewing
such a thing.

It's got something to do with her/it having a face that looks like a
smashed crab, and an arse that's twice as wide as her/its shoulders.

I had it removed when I was a kid, along with my nerves and my tear ducts.

He/she/it is a 'friend' and cohort of twitilliger. It has *never* had a
nice word to say about/to me. I really don't think it is going to start
now.

So no....... it wasn't trying to be "mean", it was just being a shallow,
sarcastic bitch..... it's usual stance.

Translation: "I will be a complete asshole to all friends of Bob, because I
am both afraid of and aroused by Bob."

Funny thing is, I never realized that pavane and I *were* friends and
cohorts.

It might be "Girl Friend Show Me the Facts" - which doesn't make any
sense to me.

A quick Google check reveals he's put the exact same thing on 1/2 dozen
posts.

Should be GF SMYT... makes perfect sense to me. I'm not too good at
