to consider that most threads on MN can be answered by the OP googling something, or just thinking it out for themselves?

[Pan]

It's not too much to suggest, is it? Instead of mithering all of cyberspace..just a thought.

Scorpions scare me rigid, along with soldier ants (bad film experiences when faaarrr too young, I'm sure).

Snakes - meh. Although I wouldn't want to tread on one, obviously. We have a pic, the three of us, with a 20' python draped across us all. It was cool!

ah yes soldier/red ants that swarm all over you and eat you in seconds. Had lots of starring roles in B&W films.

I held a snake...I have faced my fear. Therefore I am now fully at liberty to go

aaaargh! ------------->

(especially when I do nearly tread n a 6 footer in the middle of no where )

Snakes!

[faints]

Tha ones I love a the "am i pregnant" threads. Wait and do a test!! We can't aswer it for you!! Fine to share symptoms etc but why ask as nobody knows especially over the net!

Them's the ones, Pan!

Actually, we get pretty big bull ants over here. We didn't realise but we parked next to a nest once and when we got back to the car there were these ants everywhere - and they were up to 1.5" long!! With great big jaws...
I had wondered what the 1" diameter holes were in the ground, just thought someone had been poking a stick into the ground. Now I know.

Trrrrussssthhhh in meeeeee, juuuusssttthhh in meeeeee!

How can you not like kaa in the Jungle book??

btw did you realise it's the same voice-actor that does Kaa the snake AND Winnie The Poo??

There are loadsa fucking spiders everywhere atm. I went into bathroom last night for before bed wee and it nearly went down my legs when I saw the giant spider just sat there watching.

And 'twas big - even by my standards - and I use to live in Tenerife so have trodden on seen some biggun's.

Comes round from faint.

Snakes!

[faints again]

I did not know that about the voice of Kaa and W-t-P, no. Thanks Pan.

Figures.

I have issues with both.

1. He's a snake...... not Paul fecking McKenna. Stop singing and get straight to the constricting you daft slithery twat.

2. Pooh? Wtf is it with Disney? Who gets dressed in a T-Shirt and then goes out with no pants on? It's rude. That's why Pooh speaks like he does. He's always got a chest infection from walking around half naked.

meh

Honeydragon

Same as Donald Duck - walks around with just a jacket on yet when he is pictured coming out of the bathroom he has a towel round his waist.

Spiders I can cope with. Scorpions not so well. Snakes - EEEEEEEEEEEKKK!

I shall return to the last page on the internet if this discussion continues.

< mini flounce emoticon >

I found MN by googling something & getting a thread on MN as one of the top answers.. Even now I often get MN threads turn up; how does that sit with the theory??

Nah, we're onto inappropriately dressed Disney characters now. I have to agree re. Pooh and Donald Duck - I mean, with Pooh, if you need to dress him (since he wasn't in the AA Milne books), why just a t-shirt and no shorts? Why not shorts and no t-shirt? Are a bear's upper parts ruder than his lower ones?

Duck, I can understand more - he wouldn't want to get it wet when he swam in the pond.

I have never seen Donald Duck in a pond. He lives in a house.

Also Superman. He is the Man of Steel who can deflect bullets etc. Why then, if someone throws a chair at him he ducks?

Perhaps to save the chair?
Have you seen Megamind? The superhero, Metroman, just stand there and lets Roxanne throw sound equipment at him and it just smashes. Now that's cool.

DD may never have been in a pond but lots of other dressed cartoon ducks have so I guess they just followed the pattern, no?

What I want to know is how Minnie Mouse and Daisy Duck keep those shoes on!

agree with pan

Thumbwitch

We are getting a bit deep and pondering now.

[Puts chin on hand and stares into nothingness]

you mean you're not on the Shineypenguin revisited thread as well? I'm hooked in...

callmemalcolm

Agree with Pan about what Pan can't agree with himself on this thread and was last left behind on the spiders tangent.

Thumb

What is the Shineypenguin? Also what is Nobdie and IPOAT.

Justdon'tgeddit.
