Man arrested for stealing lingerie in Belfast shop. His defence? He thought he was his Shadowrun character. sammymorse says "only in Belfast", but personally I'd blame it on the fact he was playing an Elf. I mean, who wants to be a damned elf?

Oh, Lordy.

Ork or nothing!

*ahem*

[matgb]

Dwarf! Dwarves rule. Well, sometimes. But still, anything's better than a damned Elf.

This is one of those situations where only the icon will help.

Sneaky attack of the LJ fu there Ms IB, very impressive.

[innerbrat]

Colorzilla is good for more than just easy coding from a .jpg mockup. *nods*

[matgb]

Yeah; either yourself or rho pointed me that way awhileback, so many silly little uses.

[innerbrat]

I yoinked it from grrliz so anyone could've pointed you towards it, yeah.

Combine it with LJ-Hook (or, y'know, HTML knowledge) and it's fun for all sorts of crap.

"Personally, I don't hate elves themselves; I just hate the obnoxious fangirls/boys and bad roleplayers who tend to flock around them like flies around dung."

 – me, on Monday.

Ah, see with me, it always brings out my inner Dwarf. My biggest dislike in LoTR films was the way they made Gimli the comic relief, but they did at least get the "no one trusts an Elf" attitude right. Played one in Shadowrun once, read all the damned source books, decided I didn't like the damned critters.

GM wouldn't let me go try kill all the immortals either :-(

But Mat, you are an elf...

[matgb]

Elves, in most backgrounds, don't get ill. I do, lots. Case proven.

[innerbrat]

So you're a crap elf?

[draich-goch.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Dammit, there's tea all over the keyboard now. DAMN YOU INNERBRAT! ;-)

[matgb]

See? Tea has its uses. Serves you right for drinking the damn stuff.

[draich-goch.livejournal.com]

Well, the keyboard has dried out and still works, so it's probably a good thing it was tea and not that god-awful coffee stuff you keep chucking down your neck, like the damn uncivilised elf-type person that you are.

[matgb]

OK, no ganging up on me. I am not a damned pointy eared, untrustworthy, forgetful Elf.

Not. Ever. Gah!

[freddiefraggles.livejournal.com]

*clears through*

Mat?

You're wrong.

[freddiefraggles.livejournal.com]

*throat*

DAMN YOU LJ!

[matgb]

One of those few occasions where I'm happy they haven't agreed on my suggestion yet.

Bwah ha!

I feel an exposition post coming on. When I've finished trawling pouringicons for külness.

[freddiefraggles.livejournal.com]

Ex*6s5t56n+

Crap, numlock..

Exposition?

[matgb]

Yeah; a "why I'm not an elf" post. I think I've done it before, but it seems to need a bit of repeating...

[freddiefraggles.livejournal.com]

BUT YOU ARE AN ELF!!!!!!11one

[misty-moonlight.livejournal.com]

Awww - it's OK. Elves are alright. I always played an elf. lol

[draich-goch.livejournal.com]

You could not be and never have been more wrong than you are right now!
