Fun Times

[tealin]

I read this passage in Good Omens:

Loyalty was a great thing, but no lieutenants should be forced to choose between their leader and a circus with elephants.

Which spawned:

Teehee.

I'll probably work Mowett into there somewhere only I haven't caricatured him yet, and I shall have to take special care to make him not look like Moist.

Tula! I am working on your birthday card! I just didn't have any reference on the bus!

yup......you good....

You are insane!

Also, there is no way Tom would choose a circus, no matter HOW many elephants, over Jack. So there.

Do you know, I saw you're pictures of Moist before I read going postal, and thought that they looked oddly like Mowett, so now I can't help but envision Ed Woodall running around in a golden suit delivering mail.

Well, when I read the book, I had an unsually strong image of Moist (for someone who supposedly has no defining features) and finally pegged it as Mowett with a splash of Faramir. So I suppose all I'll have to do is take the Faramir out, and I'll be left with a Mowett design... yes?

[ari-enchanted.livejournal.com]

Sounds logical to me. However, this guy (http://www.livejournal.com/users/ari_enchanted/60474.html) obviously really wants to be Moist.

HAHAHA! No way. Way too underwear-modelish. Heehe, I saw a production of Joseph where the Pharaoh wore a golden suit... it was very entertaining.

[ari-enchanted.livejournal.com]

I really think International Male should re-market that suit as the Postmaster Suit or something. They could make a Sombre Suit to go along with it.

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

Or, to save on confusion for poor Pratchett-deprived folks, call it the Mr Sunshine suit. (They actually sell that thing?)

[ari-enchanted.livejournal.com]

Apparently. They also have a "Spice Pirate Shirt." I don't know if that means a pirate who steals spice, or a spicy pirate, or some sort of pirate-themed Spice Girl.

WAH! Birthaday card!!! SQUEE!! And we must have been usuing our crazy sister powers because I was drawing Pullings just there yesterday. I love you!

That elephant piñata reminds me of an episode of The Simpsons :-P

[wicked-warrior.livejournal.com]

A piñata? I thought it was a pink plushy! :P Pulling's total-happyness-face is priceless :)

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

I was kind of going for an oversized stufed animal, but a pinata works, too. And of course it is pink, that is the colour that elephants are! (I'm glad I could convey with without even having to colour anything... ; )

[canisdoofus.livejournal.com]

Oh YEAH! Especially when we partake in one of my favourite pastimes...Tequila Shooting! :-D

For those of you unfamilliar with The Simpsons, the episode of which I speak showed a office boardroom full of snazzy well-dressed guys and the one standing up says "What can we use to show them we're both gay AND Republican", just when a loose, pink, elephant-shaped baloon floats through the window.

It was pretty funny, albeit irrelevant! :-P

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah! I loved that gag. Brilliant. I wonder who thought that one up.

Who?

Someone who has not worked on the show for about four seasons.

Okay, this is totally unrelated from the picture: Check out this guy's sidewalk chalk drawings:

As a fellow artist, I was mindboggled by this guy's sixth sense or something.
I do like Fiesta Pullings, though; it made me laugh.

[blooappall.livejournal.com]

teehee.
Very nice.

*grins* Suddenly I remember why I love Good Omens and why reading your journal makes my day.

[infiniteviking]

That's adorable!

[just-curious.livejournal.com]

And that is a quote that inspires the imagination! What a wonderful piece of writting! And the look on that guy's face is priceless.

(Good Omens. Terry book?)

[gabbysun.livejournal.com]

Gah, I just want to pinch his cheek!

Although I have to admit that the first thing I though of when seeing this was "Withe a 1,000 Elephants!"

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

I suggest we petition Messrs Gaiman and Pratchett to change it to "but no lieutenants should be forced to choose between their leader and a circus Withe a 1,000 Elephants!"

[gabbysun.livejournal.com]

xD I'd buy the revised copy like that, even if only for that one sentence. Because, man: elephants!

I just had the best visual ever of a cranky old man saying the first bit solemnly and sort of tongue-in-cheek like on an audiobook, and then exploding with passion at the end.

"Loyalty was a great thing, but no lieutenants should be forced to choose between their leader and a circus Withe a 1,000 Elephants!"

Oh, you cheeky imagination you.

Um. Is that Aziraphale?

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

No, sorry, it's a weird crossover with Master & Commander.
