I haven't found a single person yet who hasn't mispronounced the name after seeing it in print. I think it's because the name seems somewhat German in nature at first sight, so it inspires a Germanic-sounding pronunciation. If the name is split in half, however, treating "Stug" and "Half" as separate words, the correct pronunciation becomes more apparent.

What's the nature of this supposed accent I possess? I wasn't aware that I had any at all, but as representatives from both American coasts have noticed one, I suppose it must exist. :P

Never question the athleticism and flexibility of a ferret, sir! And I'll have you know that the n/f prototype is at least five times as quick and agile as its ordinary relative.

Eh, perhaps you've hit upon the right solution, after all. I'll likely never be able to find you and make a positive identification, while you'd never manage to overcome my n/f bodyguards if you attempted to hunt me down.

So I suppose I'd be amenable to attending this gathering you suggest. Of course, you'll have to promise that there won't be any treachery. Any bottle of skribbane I sip from will be tasted by you first, and several of my most trusted attack ferrets will abstain from any and all substances. N/ferrets are of course incapable of imbibing anything at all, so they will be ready and able to protect me in case it becomes necessary.

Well, my fingers are all quite normal, joint-wise, but my thumbs are quite another matter. They're double-jointed, and I can bend each thumb around so that it makes a right angle with the knuckles at the base of my fingers. If that's hard to understand, I'll attempt to get a picture of it at some point.

I have an inkling he's the one on the right, actually.

Both of you are Australian, though. Stands to reason it'd sound like a strong accent to you. Pretty much any American would agree that it's thoroughly commonplace. :P

ADoS hosted it for me that time, and perhaps I could cajole him into doing it again. Or maybe I could try Desp. I'll see what I can do.

Dolphin, you've got no less of a reason to post a voice clip than I do, as I'd bet my accent is even more nonexistent than yours. :P

Birds of prey? Ha! Unless you manage to summon up a few hundred golden eagles, you'll make hardly a dent in the army's numbers.

As for attempting to buy off the needle/ferrets (sorry, AM, but I need to address the point!) with substantial quantities of skribbane- well, I can easily thwart that plan by supplying them generously beforehand.

They *are* spiderlike. My arachnophobia nearly kicks in while looking at your fingers, and I'm creeped out. :P

Icshi is in possession of quite the voluminous, unruly beard. He looks like a younger version of one of the Communist philosophers, although I can't decide whether he resembles Marx or Engels.

Ben does look rather like I imagined him, although I never pictured him as a carrot-top. :P

You know, not knowing what Alo looks like is one thing, but Drakey is our administrator, for God's sake, and I haven't the slightest idea what he looks like. I find that quite a bit more disconcerting.

Wow, Kingy, if I ever managed to down that much booze in one night, I have a feeling I'd never post again. Impressive that you're here, with all of your marbles seemingly intact.

As I have quite a few pictures stored up, I figured I'd post another one. More might come later, as well. This one manages to be even less flattering than the last, but it's funnier as well. It was taken immediately after a little mishap in which I lost my balance and spilled most of a whiskey/coke all over my shirt. As you can see, though, it didn't bother me in the slightest.

Simple solution- we'll just set up a ladder on the opposite end of the bell tower and have the attack ferret army creep up and overwhelm Alorael with their teeth, claws, and pirate blades while he's distracted by a small band of needle/ferrets at the front of the tower. A needle/ferret can unload its cargo with fantastic range and accuracy, you know.

Hmm. It seems that I was lengthening the name a bit more than necessary. Good to know the right pronunciation, though.

The last time the discussion on accents and such came up, I put up a clip of my own voice. I'd do it again, but it'd hardly be as interesting as Ash or Thuryl's clips- after all, an Aussie accent is exotic, but who gives a damn about the bland, practically nonexistent accent of the American Midwest? :P

Thank you for the laugh, Stug. It was a nice image, no matter who took it. ;) And I highly doubt that your army of ferrets will defeat Alorael - years of sniping and skribbane inhaling has sharpened Alo's sniping skill.
The attack ferret army is just as well trained, if not better- and keep in mind that a rifle with a barrel stuffed with the remains of hundreds of kamikaze ferrets is liable to have difficulty firing.

And after the rifle is thoroughly out of commission, we can proceed with the surgery at a leisurely pace. :P

Are you personally acquainted with the ferret couple in question? I'll have you know that both were rather portly to begin with.

And in case you get in the mood to make more snide remarks about my photography, I'll have you know that my ferret army is capable of skeletonizing a fully-grown man in less than ten seconds. After which point I can whip out the camera, take a few choice photos, and have you judge for yourself whether I've made you look fat. :P

In honor of Alec, who started the first two abominable photo threads (along with the pet photo thread offshoot) I'd like to begin yet another photo thread. Not much time has elapsed since the last one, but we have a lot of new faces around here, and it stands to reason that these faces be properly introduced.

So, to lead things off, here I am in a photo taken at a party I attended in May, back in the days of the goatee and before the current era of the mutton chops.

I don't look too different nowadays, although I'm somewhat less scruffy and quite a bit less drunk. :P

Go ahead and post your picture!

Perhaps I sounded a bit dire in my first post in the thread. I'm not considering leaving any time soon. If anything, I might slow down a bit, and spend some more time at Desp. Never fear- no matter my level of activity, the attack ferret army will always be here to protect all!

You know, all this talk about photo threads has me thinking of starting another one. It's been long enough since the last one, hasn't it?
