I just wanted to comment, I LOVE your new avatar CT! I <3 Disturbed, such a strange metal band. ^^

Do you still have VHS, or did you mostly shift to DVDs?

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #181 on:** May 01, 2010, 12:56:58 AM

Thanks! I've also changed my desktop image to match my avatar

. "The Guy" is so spooky and that makes him only more interesting

.

To answer your question, I still have many VHS tapes. Only since they've stopped making VHS copies of films did I start buying DVDs. I have a VCR that plays both VHS and DVD, so at least I can still watch my old VHS films

.

Ohhhhh..."Disturbed" is a band name! I see!

I thought your member title implied that you were a disturbed person who was a fan of LBT, and thought, "what the heck?".

I'm so doggone literal.

That gives me an idea for another question: do you ever find that you have a hard time recognizing when someone is joking, being sarcastic, or otherwise not literally meaning what they say?

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #183 on:** May 03, 2010, 01:47:33 AM

Yup, I frequently have difficulty understanding whether or not someone's bein' sarcastic, joking, or other forms of not being literal. Funny enough, I'm excellent with humor and sarcasm, and I can come up with some of the wittiest puns, but I can't catch on to 'em very well when someone else is doin' the same thing

Are you still following Far Away Home, or have you lost interest?

Amaranthine · **Reply #185 on:** May 06, 2010, 10:51:09 PM

This might be an odd question, but do you believe in the term "guilty pleasure" as in having "LBT as a guilty pleasure" due to certain circumstances of what seems to be socially acceptable in society, or do you kick out the labels and just like what you like even if other people would call them guilty pleasures?

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #186 on:** May 07, 2010, 12:08:05 AM

Caustizer: Yup, I'm still following Far Away Home. I have not lost interest in the least. Usually, somebody else beats me to what I'd like to say in a Far Away Home review, so I don't bother repeating what they said. I guess it would not hurt to do so anyway, but yes, I'm still following your fanfic

.

Rat_lady7: Hmm...this does require some thought. I do understand the sexual connotation society has placed upon the term "guilty pleasure", and therefore its a term I tend to avoid. I don't see LBT as a guilty pleasure. To hopefully answer your question clearer, I just allow myself to have my interests and fandoms regardless of the labels others may place upon them. Whether or not an individual agrees with my interests is their call and not mine, and I don't let it influence what I like and don't like. I make those decisions on my own

.

Amaranthine · **Reply #187 on:** May 08, 2010, 09:44:16 AM

I'm just curious where did you get the information that "guilty pleasure" was used for a sexual connotation as well as for something society would not accept as "top notch quality"?

I just never heard it used at that way before, I even looked it up and I couldn't find it.

Edit: Oh nevermind, I found the definition.

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #188 on:** May 08, 2010, 09:49:03 AM

I've just heard others use it in that context, and so that's where I got that idea

. BTW, I never thought of a guilty pleasure as something that is not shameful and decent, such as liking an animated series with good morals and lessons. I thought a guilty pleasure is something that's kept hidden due to the controversial nature of it (i.e. liking to watch porn).

The fact that I've heard others use that term when referring to things sexual in nature, is the reason I tend to shy away from that term

.

How are you doing CT?

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #190 on:** May 19, 2010, 12:23:42 AM

I'm doin' good, thanks

. I just arrived at Glacier National Park in Montana from Yellowstone National Park this evening, and the bad weather has forced us (my mother and I) to get a lodge room instead of a tent site, so I feel more human again

. Seriously, I've tent-camped my way across the country and its been a blast

Knowing that you enjoy the works of Stephen King, what's your favorite among them?

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #192 on:** May 19, 2010, 09:03:14 PM

So far, my favorite work by Stephen King is his novel "The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon".

Pangaea · **Reply #193 on:** June 05, 2010, 10:49:03 PM

Besides the sadly unphotographed black bear sighting, the funny prairie dog story,

and that scary near-miss with the bison, :blink: have you had any other interesting animal encounters in the time you've spent in Yellowstone?

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #194 on:** June 06, 2010, 01:33:43 AM

Mostly photos, though I did get bluff-charged by a moose

.

These first two photos are of the prarie dog I had mentioned about:

Before I called him:

And after I called him

Here's the moose just before it bluff-charged me:

Some elk with a bison in the background:

A herd of bison just outside my passenger window:

Due to picture amount limitations, I will post the rest in a new post.

Pangaea · **Reply #195 on:** June 06, 2010, 01:53:46 AM

Whoa!

There are some great photos in there! The last one with the bison almost looks like it could have come out of National Geographic, and I really like the one above it (with the elk AND a bison) too.

By the way, unless the prairie dogs were being fed by tourists or something (I’d expect such a thing to be prohibited in a national park), I’m guessing the plumpness of that one isn’t anything to worry about. Prairie dogs naturally accumulate large stores of fat because they often need to fast for long periods later in the year, when food is less plentiful.

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #196 on:** June 06, 2010, 01:58:35 AM

More pictures

:

I FINALLY got a picture of a Black Bear! Here is a cinnamon-colored Black Bear:

A coyote:

I saw these guys just today! Bighorn Sheep:

I have also seen many birds: yellow warblers, robins, ravens, bald eagles, osprey, great blue herons, sandhill cranes, hummingbirds, chickadees (black-capped and mountain), mountain bluebirds, yellow finches, flickers, and Clark's nutcrackers.

Are you still following TWV?
If so what do you think of the revamped chapters (there is a link to the progress gauge in my signature)

Also, would you be interested in joining Darwin's Soldiers III: Disruptive Selection?

Pangaea · **Reply #198 on:** June 07, 2010, 11:03:15 PM

I have GOT to go to Yellowstone sometime . . .

Love the photo of the bear. You don't see a lot of pictures of cinnamon bears. (I've always been interested in animals with different color phases, including black bears.)

How many bears have you seen since you came to Yellowstone, besides this one and the first two you mentioned? (Or have they been the only ones so far?)

Also, were those first two bears black black bears, or were they a different color?

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #199 on:** June 08, 2010, 01:22:45 AM

Serris: I continue to follow TWV, and I've posted my thoughts in the TWV thread under the Fanfiction/Fanart section

. Although I am quite unfamiliar with the Darwin's Soldiers RPs, I'm still interested in joining Darwin's Soldiers III: Disruptive Selection

. I just need to educate myself on what has happened

.

Pangaea: I have seen two more Black bears (both brown-colored this time

) since I saw the one in the picture I posted. It was a mama bear and her cub

. Unfortunately, they took off into some tall brush as soon as I got my camera out

.

Yes, the first two Black bears I saw were colored black, and they appeard to be a either a couple or siblings

.
