The only bar I could see Bubbles working security at would be "The Mended Drum" in another universe, and that would be more as a splatter (they throw harder).

Nah - she'd end up in the Watch. And what an opportunity for crossover fan fiction that would present!

--- Quote from: Gyrre on 16 Feb 2017, 20:30 ---Fun fact: Both the German and Japanese words for 'raccoon' loosely translate to English as "wash bear".
--- End quote ---
It's the same in Chinese, but it isn't really a translation as such. The two characters in 浣熊 (huànxióng) can be read, in isolation, as meaning, among other things, "wash bear", but reading like that is why machine translation of Chinese is not very good. I've written before about how Chinese characters are not isolated "bricks" of meaning, but are more like syllables in words.

Fair enough. I will defer to your expertise on the matter.
But it's the word parts I'm talking about. My own name literally breaks down into "law/judgement of God" but it translates to English as "God is my judge".
--- Quote from: TinPenguin on 17 Feb 2017, 01:28 ---Though the French call it "washer rat" because everything is a rat in France.
--- End quote ---
And if it's not a rat, it's an apple.

--- Quote from: brasca on 17 Feb 2017, 01:53 ---Wonder if there is any significance in there being 7 Creepybots in that scene. There could be more, but 7 has a lot of religious significance. Perhaps the seven deadly sins although they all seem to be the embodiment of pride.
--- End quote ---
Seven can also be used to mean "enough".
Though, every number below 14 has one or more cultural meanings associated with it. Being significant in the various cultures of at least three major world religions, 7 has a few more attached to it than others.

I bet she and Constable Dorfl would get along famously.

My favorite was "threatening chicken" for turkey. Threatening chicken for Thanksgiving dinner!
