Can you find all the references?

Is that a zombie Deadpool?

Next to the magikarp?

Nikolai · « **Reply #2203 on:** 26 Dec 2012, 14:33 »

I think that's just normal Deadpool being...Deadpool.

AWESOME-O!

There's too much to choose from to pick a favourite. So. Much. Win.

Is that Miley Cyrus with the finally Miley blow up doll?

Sidenote: the finally miley blow up doll took the cake for creepiest sex toy between some friends and I.
Reasoning: There are creepy dudes out there who are a serious market for that and it isn't just some gag gift.

Took me a moment to realize what she was doing.

Akima · « **Reply #2215 on:** 28 Dec 2012, 18:17 »

Is that some sort of mechanical puller/trigger gadget she is using to draw the bow?

jwhouk · « **Reply #2216 on:** 28 Dec 2012, 18:28 »

Dunno. Haven't seen Hunger Games.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #2217 on:** 28 Dec 2012, 18:32 »

It's a long clip connected to her wrist. I'm not sure what the name of the device is.

Apparently it is called a "release aid". Katniss did not use one.

Bluesummers · « **Reply #2219 on:** 29 Dec 2012, 00:58 »

Back in my day, we didn't have fancy release aids...we had finger tabs, big ol' crappy plastic finger protector thingies, and if you used one, everyone called you a pussy (they made it a hell of a lot harder to properly aim, too)...At least our arm guards were practical.

...Then again, I always used a recurve bow...I can't remember what kind Katniss had.

No, it's called "aiming". Straight bows like that (what are they called?) are a special challenge, like medieval european longbows. I shot recurves myself, but for shooting a compound bow like the one tooth-girl's using (which is easy to draw, but hard to hold since they develop ~100 - 150 lbs of force) a child would probably need some kind of trigger device.

Cire27 · « **Reply #2224 on:** 29 Dec 2012, 07:05 »

Wikipedia says that it's called a Yumi.

I'd like to see her make two steps in those without falling flat on her face.

nekowafer · « **Reply #2227 on:** 29 Dec 2012, 07:58 »

I'm guessing by her stance that she couldn't walk in them at all. I'm sure she needed someone to help her change poses.

Redball · « **Reply #2228 on:** 29 Dec 2012, 08:12 »

How could she stand up straight?

nekowafer · « **Reply #2229 on:** 29 Dec 2012, 08:14 »

I don't think she could. Even in pointe shoes, dancers have a lot of padding and support in the toe. That is basically just a cone that she put her foot into.

celticgeek · « **Reply #2230 on:** 29 Dec 2012, 11:07 »

More information. with video, here. Still, WTF?

lepetitfromage · « **Reply #2231 on:** 29 Dec 2012, 13:00 »

Personally, I find the concept awesome. I think it's impressive that someone involved in an industry so closely linked to the world of fashion would make such a bold statement. I can appreciate the thought that they put into the concept and design as well. It's really interesting to look at the way the model walks in them too- an almost too straight posture is common with runway models (editorials are a different story...and sometimes pretty odd*) but these shoes make her hunch over and drag herself....pulling her down. It is incredibly smart design that really enhances the work conceptually.

tl;dr- practical? no. but a really thought provoking commentary on our society's standard of beauty.

I think it helps to induce stressing of the leg muscles to compensate...seems like a bizarre exercise regimen to me.

I am creeped out by pics of extreme women's footwear, because... Footbinding!. It took the iron fist of communism finally to put an end to this horrible custom, for which I am profoundly grateful.

According to wiki, the term for a bow made of a simple piece of wood, as opposed to being laminated with other materials, is a "self bow"

I think he captures the struggle of trying to speak past your ability in a foreign language perfectly.

Also, does he have a power supply in his sink?

Yes, it is. You read upwards from the names you can see at the bottom of the chart. The red lines show the progress of the winners in what is obviously a knock-out competition.

Thanks for that Akima, I ~~wasted~~ thoroughly enjoyed over an hour of youtube footage of Japanese archery, kendo and other forms of sword use. I am now both delighted and a little disturbed small children taught to use a blade that could cut clean through my leg.

I'm not really sure why flipping the Rook was supposed to be confusing. An upside-down Rook is usually taken to be a Queen, although it's often a Rook that has already been captured.
