To Pangea, it was a good 30 meters away or more. They're not very brave fish. In came in to about 25ish meters, then it snapped it's mouth closed and swam away. I do consider myself very lucky to have seen one in the wild: they're not uncommon, but they're not in places people usually dive. As to Dosu, I'd love to read it. If you want, I'll show you a small fragment I just wrote up today for my story (okay, not that small, but a fragmËnt in the grand scheme of things) that I may or may not put in the final draft. I'll get right into reading it after I get home and make some dinner.
Ooh, we're learning about bats in mammalogy. That's always an open field: second largest group of mammals after rodents with a lot of mysteries still undiscovered.
And I did hear about that. I was pretty excited to hear: those are always a hot topic of study. Whenever I see one, though, I just think about how petrified I would be if I saw one while diving. I saw a basking shark off of the Chesapeake once, and let me tell you, gentle giant or not, when you see a fish with a six foot wide circular mouth gaping and swimming toward you, all you can think of is: AAAAAAAHHHHHHH! It was awesome, though. But just like a basking shark has the big mouth, giant squid have those humongous eyes :blink: That would sure freak me out.
Oh man. Cephalopods are sooooo baller <3. I imagine those are pretty competitive lab oppertunities, though, because really, who doesn't think Cephalopoda are awesome? And now I get what you mean by the pirate accent
Pangea! That's the sister word to my favorite word in the world: Panthalassa. And my name, and the title of this thread, are pronounced like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAWxw0wmeNQ
And I'm fascinated by invertebrates, particularly mollusks and cnidarians. And Arthropods. And Echinoderms. And Centophores.... And Platyhelmenthies. In fact, all invertebrates excite me, I can't decide which I love most!
Well, maybe I'm harsh in saying no one likes them. I liked and still like Scrappy Doo, so that goes to show that there's always people who are capable of liking characters everyone else can't stand. Although I think I'm safe in saying that the Yellow Bellies are no one's favorite character or anything. I sure don't like them, and your right, Ducky123: never met anyone (yet) who does.
Thank you Dark Hououmon and Kor for the greetings. And to answer your question, Kor, I recall Chomper being part of a small, strange group of characters a that I always liked growing up. Only Chomper and the rest of the gang has really stuck.
But more recently? Well, I don't watch too much TV nowadays, but I do still like Pokemon. Always been a Machop fan.
So I guess this is where newcomers introduce themselves, right? Well, you can call me LoyfeCycleProtector. I've watched the Land Before Time films for as long as I can remember. The first film was literally one of the first movie I can remember ever watching, and watched all the way up to movie seven. I loved the original, but when the first sequel came out I really got hooked on Chomper, and when the fifth movie rolled around I was incredibly excited. I watched the next two after that, hoping they'd show Chomper again, and while they didn't, I still loved the movies and the characters. I remember when the eighth film came out I started to become self concious, and I stopped watching them. I remember seeing the comercial for the eleventh film and actually found my self rolling my eyes. Around 2007, I was flipping through channels at a hotel, and I stumbled on the Land Before Time TV show. It had Chomper, and I'll tell you that was all it took to get me back into the series. Once I was at that age, I no longer particularly cared what people thought about what I watched. It's that weird leveling off of self conciousness that marks the begining of the end of your teenage years. I fell back in love with the series and have been a fan ever since. Still, even as a fan, I didn't particularly feel any inkling to seek out other LBT fans. Until I got back into another thing that I liked when I was younger: fanfiction. I read a story by Flipper Boid Skua that really got me thinking about getting back into story writing. Now I'm (very, painfully slowly) ironing out a Land Before Time fanfiction. In order to keep a consistent quality, I want to write at least half of it before I start posting chapters.
So about me: I'm 20, and an honors student at my university. I'm aiming for an eventual degree in marine biology.
I also decided out of the blue to base my screen name out of the single most hilarious example of bad voice acting in video game history. So, that's me! My favorite movies were numbers ten, two, and five (and the original, obviously). Glad to be here!
I'm a recent member, 20 years old pushing on twenty one, and I watched the series up till movie seven, wandered away from the series, then was reintroduced when the TV series came out. I've been here for like... A day or two, but this is a wonderful community, and I'm happy to celebrate this site's fifth aniversery with all the other fans of Land Before Time.
I'm not saying she did intend it. In fact, in a very kind email response she sent me, she stated that she was merely expressing her own opinion and does not like that some people are using her reviews as 'proof' that the movies are bad just because she said so.
But I digress. Don't worry too much if people say they don't like the films. If you enjoy them, enjoy them with pride.
They're adorable, Flip! They're gonna bring you a lot of happiness. My little sister has a rat, and she loves him to death. Really cute and really smart.
By the way, thanks for your great fanfiction: I'm still working on the on you inspired me to write.
It all boils down to what's fashionable to bash. I think the MarzGurl reviews had a lot to do with making them 'cool' to hate on. That, and there are some that legitimately bad, like the thirteenth. I think all but the last one has something to be enjoyed in them, however. My personal favorite of the sequels is number five.
