    By the way Wak, as a warning my original livestream account was banned because of nudity in a digital piece I was working on...it was barely out of the lay-in phase so it hardly resembled a human.

    I'm getting a portfolio ready ready for an internship interview on Friday. Exciting, but also nerve-wracking!

    Any tips, anyone, before I go and do something stupid?

    Base your portfolio on the type of work that the company normally does, if you can. An "internship" can mean anything - what's it for, specifically?

    It's for the construction company my dad works for. They take applicants from a pretty wide range of fields (the only prerequisite is 'be a student') so it's been difficult to gather exactly where I'll be placed, but I think it'd be in their web-design department, but when I was speaking on the phone they just added at the end 'oh, and if you want to bring along anything to show, do that'. Also, since I've never done any sort of web design ever, I don't have much of a choice but to be all lol pictures.

    I think those scenes freaked me out as a kid because I knew metal coins were heavy and you couldn't just dive into a pool of 'em like that....and therefore you couldn't swim in the them...

    ...and basically it resulted in me having one or two nightmares about drowning in coins.

    That picture honestly freaks me out even now because 90 feet? jesus that's horrifying. I bet there are a bunch of crushed dead rats and stuff at the very bottom.

    I can only imagine what kind of traumas you endured from watching other cartoons that didn't depict physics in painstakingly realistic detail. You must have had to down some tranquilizers every time Wile E. Coyote came on the screen.

    They need to have a Wile E. Coyote episode on Mythbusters, just for the hell of it. See if you really can catch up to a vehicle while wearing rollerskates with a high-powered magnet strapped to your chest.

    I always loved it when all the forks and knives and stuff started chasing him around. Although I do remember having a reaction similar to ND the one time I actually thought about what was going to happen to him.

    I didn't really have a problem with Wile E. Coyote because he was always trying to get the RoadRunner. If for just one episode he would have been like "nah, I'll let him go" but he still gets fucked over then I'd be really upset for him.

    This is the reason I can't enjoy Tom and Jerry. Tom's just trying to be a good cat- half the time he's just chilling on a pillow, sleeping,- and Jerry just waltzes over and puts like 100 mouse traps by Tom.

    Jerry's a jerk :(

    For a while as a kid I was always rooting for Wile E. since it was a matter of life and death for him. He was always mangy and scraggly, nothing but skin and bones. If he didn't get something to eat soon, he'd likely starve, so the roadrunner was his key to survival...

    ...but then I realized that if he could afford to purchase his armory of gadgets and explosive weaponry from ACME, you'd think he would just take that money and follow one of those heavily-driven desert highways to the nearest food joint.

    I was always like, man fuck those kids. Just give the rabbit some goddamn trix.

    Then I got a little bit older and I was like, man, rabbit, go hang out with some people who like you. fuck those haters. Also just go to the fucking store and buy some trix for fuck's sake. Fuck, man.

    I used to say "fuck" a lot as a kid.

    Hahaha! DMAC, you're crazy. When I learned how banking works I wondered why Scrooge never put his money in a bank, he's missing out on some crazy interest! Also, he needs to diversify his portfolio: Foreign stock, bonds, investment.

    I wonder how someone with such a poor handle on finances made so much money.

    Have you guys seen the new threee-dee animated roadrunner cartoon?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUNgUeBwDnA

    That's not the one I saw but I think they're a little disturbing. When you put a character in three dimensions it kinda makes them more real, like they should operate in the realms of reality more. When it's a drawing you can squish it and stretch and it looks natural but these 3d animated cartoons are a little painful to watch.

    edit: I mean look at this! How do you fuck this up?

    Thinking about what happened to a pokemon when they were caught and stuffed inside a tiny metal sphere is what creeped me out as a kid. There was even an episode where you saw a cross section of a psyduck sitting inside one, surrounded by sharp moving metal parts, barely enough room to move. No wonder these creatures are so vicious, I figure they've been traumatised in to a violent dementia, only able to express themselves by saying their own name over, and over, like they're trying to remember who they were before they were taken from their natural habitat by force, then commanded to fight for sport.

    Speaking of warner bros. animations, does anybody remember the one that involved the smoking habits of people trying to cram as many cigarette's into their work breaks as possible? It certainly would've been banned, but I remember thinking it was hilarious as a kid.
