Wow it looks like you had a lot of fun... So i take it the paint that you used was not necessarily body paint?

Either way good picture, it caught my eye when i went to the portal...

Re: pic: Eugenia Gabrielov

Thank you . I used a water-soluble form of paint. When I bodypainted myself as Kirby for Halloween, I found out that most body paint is much stronger than facepaint, and consequently harder to get off. This time I did the right thing and used easy paint to take off.

While it does chip, it stayed on during the game, and gave me a very confident Italian feeling.

I was trying to come up with a simile to what Genia really looks like, something happy, and red, and green, and it always came out wrong (Christmas tree didn't quite fit). So...

Genia is one of the nicest, smartest, and funniest people I know (and obviously has a good attitude). She looks nothing like a witch, and as far as I know, has never acted like one. And that is all that really matters.

Re: pic: Eugenia Gabrielov

OK, so I have a weak imagination, I'm sorry Madi.

And, Genia, the Christmas tree doesn't get presents. It instead gets to WATCH while OTHER people are getting presents. . But it gets to look pretty if that helps any . Maybe I'll send you an ornament.

Re: pic: Eugenia Gabrielov

You have burst my bubble. Oh well, an ornament is nice. We can hang it on an ear, or on my nose!

huh ..... i was laughing at your imagination my friend. Sigh for daisy and her endless 'Sorries'



Now that would be a cool Halloween Costume. Just don't forget to hang the angel on your forehead

I think I'll just hang it on your face.

The tree gets the ornament in the end of this deal, so the tree does get a present. w00t.

(sorry for the long post, but I had to laugh as soon as I heard the witch comment because it made me think of this!)

The Witch: I'm not a witch I'm not a witch!
Sir Bedevere: But you are dressed as one
The Witch: *They* dressed me up like this!
Crowd: We didn't! We didn't...
The Witch: And this isn't my nose. It's a false one.
Sir Bedevere: [lifts up her false nose] Well?
Peasant 1: Well, we did do the nose.
Sir Bedevere: The nose?
Peasant 1: And the hat, but she is a witch!
Crowd: Yeah! Burn her! Burn her!
Sir Bedevere: Did you dress her up like this?
Peasant 1: No!
Peasant 3, Peasant 2: No!
Peasant 3: No!
Peasant 1: No!
Peasant 3, Peasant 2: No!
Peasant 1: Yes!
Peasant 2: Yes!
Peasant 1: Yeah a bit.
Peasant 3: A bit!
Peasant 1, Peasant 2: A bit!
Peasant 2: a bit
Peasant 1: But she has got a wart!
Random Person in the crowd: *cough* *cough*

Sir Bedevere: There are ways of telling whether she is a witch.
Peasant 1: Are there? Oh well, tell us.
Sir Bedevere: Tell me. What do you do with witches?
Peasant 1: Burn them.
Sir Bedevere: And what do you burn, apart from witches?
Peasant 1: More witches.
Peasant 2: Wood.
Sir Bedevere: Good. Now, why do witches burn?
Peasant 3: ...because they're made of... wood?
Sir Bedevere: Good. So how do you tell whether she is made of wood?
Peasant 1: Build a bridge out of her.
Sir Bedevere: But can you not also build bridges out of stone?
Peasant 1: Oh yeah.
Sir Bedevere: Does wood sink in water?
Peasant 1: No, no, it floats! It floats! Throw her into the pond!
Sir Bedevere: No, no. What else floats in water?
Peasant 1: Bread!
Peasant 2: Apples!
Peasant 3: Very small rocks!
Peasant 1: Cider!
Peasant 2: Gravy!
Peasant 3: Cherries!
Peasant 1: Mud!
Peasant 2: Churches! Churches!
Peasant 3: Lead! Lead!
King Arthur: A Duck.
Sir Bedevere: Exactly! So, logically...
Peasant 1: If she... weighs the same as a duck... she's made of wood.
Sir Bedevere: And therefore?
Peasant 2: A witch!
Crowd: A witch!

Re: pic: Eugenia Gabrielov

Ahhh, more proof that there is a quote from Monty Python and The Holy Grail for any occasion. (Or, in this case a long series of quotes) Certainly one of my favorite parts of the the movie, along with the whole encounter with the 'French' and the Black Knight.

Re: pic: Eugenia Gabrielov

Ok, so Elgin completely pwned me (wow, I'm having an off day). Genia, you get presents. Darn it .

Um, Kim, did you get that ALL from memory? Because that is impressive!

Re: pic: Eugenia Gabrielov

I already do get both.

Bigger Winnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn....

It's what I get for being half and half. xD

And Li, I don't like you for calling my Genia a witch. She looks adorable, and incredibly happy. She's cute and so sweet, and you'd be on your knees apologizing if you knew how great she was. So hush.

Re: pic: Eugenia Gabrielov

Lol I needed to look back on this post just to make me laugh after all the superserious posts of late.

Monty Python is the best (and while I probably could have quoted 80% of that from memory, alas, I was lazy and used the all powerful google).

Anyone who hasnt seen those movies, or read hitchikers guide, really ought to do so if they want to be a "true" part of the engineering dorkdome (Thanks to my old HS mentor who handed me a copy of hitchikers!! and to my dad who introduced me to MP!)

You silly English kkkkniigits!

Still, though, that is pretty impressive. Most people would have been like "Dorothy!" Only in robotics can you make a "witch comment" and get responses about Monty Python.
