Thread rating:  |
Grygon - 13 Nov 2005 07:42 GMT just another funny. :) when shown my LJ userpic of Cloud's sword i got the following response from some guy:
"Gack! That's not a sword - That's a handle with a sheet of battle armor for a Bolo Mark XXXVI intercontinental siege unit welded onto it!
(Gotta be either plastic or aluminum, I imagine? Since if it were steel, I doubt even a weightlifter could hold it at the angle shown without coming away with a broken wrist - Unless it's got one GODAWFUL huge pommel nut that I just can't see, in which case, it would take a weightlifter to swing the thing, and it would likely be about as much fun as trying to use the Empire State Building as a baseball bat!)"
first part was funny. second, longer part, was too but got a bit annoying. i think this guy forgot the FANTASY in Final Fantasy there for a moment. :)

Not bad, but I was hoping for a position as a "wintroll" in the employment of Mr. Bill Gates, being paid to hassle the poor oppressed underclass that is Linux users.

lemme think, maybe if I hang the empire state building off the bridge that joins the Petronas towers, and then arrange for the millenium dome to be frisbeed towards it...
