Weekend Random Event - Things Invade

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

This weekend, to mark the game's fifth anniversary, Things from the Addams Family are going to invade.

Which sounds incredibly vague, except that Thing is the show's name for the disembodied hand that the family employs as a servant. (Five years, five fingers, get it? I amuse myself.) Wiki about him/it is here.

Things are fully moddable and can do pretty much anything one hand can do -- brush hair, fetch a drink, open the door. They get around by running on their fingertips and don't talk, though they can write, tap out messages in Morse code, or use some rudimentary sign language.

And, as is the way of such things, they'll be gone Monday morning.

Questions? Comments? Pretty hand icons?

...dirty?

(SHUT UP YOU WERE ALL THINKING IT DUN DENY IT)

[vanillajello]

Oh good now I feel a little less guilty for immediately thinking that.

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

Ha! I think the desire to be molested by a disembodied hand warrants a GOD, RAVEN.

Though ... is it really so bad, if the hand consents ;-)?

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

... y'all are sick sick people who need help. And I love you.

[raspberryturk]

THINGS. Win!

(Out of my four boys, Reno is the one with the pretty, pretty hands. Go figure.)

[vanillajello]

At least immediately after I thought that, I also thought it would actually be more than a little creepy and actually pretty off-putting?

[trickydemigod.livejournal.com]

Mmm hands. I might be mildly obsessed with Jake's. They're huge (http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l5mchqsJr71qcfnieo1_500.jpg).

ETA: I feel like I should add an addendum that everyone has huge hands compared to me.

[trigons_child]

I do not have this desire! But I am certain there are those in this school who would desire it. I should know, I have felt them.

...

NOT LIKE THAT.

[trigons_child]

I so knew I wasn't the only one. ;)

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

Hee, that's okay then.

Though now you have me wondering if there exists Gomez/Thing/Morticia fanfic. I DO NOT WANT THESE THOUGHTS.

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

Mmmm, long fingers. Goes with the whole lanky thing.

[vanillajello]

Well, now that you've shared them, THEY'RE IN MY HEAD TOO. Better?

[vanillajello]

Oh please, there's always at least one other person with as dirty a mind.

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

I so feel you on that. (Not that way.) My hands are smallish-normal, and next to those of a guy with biggish-normal hands, it looks like I am a hand dwarf.

Jake has very nice hands.

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

MUCH.

[therewaslife]

The comments in this post just make me shake my head. Such dirty, dirty minds! SO IN THE GUTTER. I am APPALLED. Shocked and APPALLED.

WILL SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!?!?!?!?!

[trickydemigod.livejournal.com]

Yeah, my ring size is a 4 1/2, so at parties there tends to be a moment in the night where people put their hands up to mine so they can see what a freak I am.

[vanillajello]

... There's an appallingly tasteless joke to be made here. I'M TRYING MY BEST NOT TO SAY IT.

[trickydemigod.livejournal.com]

Well, Tracy, you know who is thinking of the children...

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

... Tracy, NO. I am not thinking about Wednesday, Pugsley and Thing. That's even more gutter-y!

Even if Wednesday grew up and turned into her (http://www.gamblingweblog.com/wp-content/gallery/persons/christina_ricci.jpg).

[therewaslife]

GASP. MY MIND IS A TEMPLE, I WOULD NEVER ENCOURAGE THAT TYPE OF NONSENSE. I AM PURE.

[therewaslife]

FDSKLFHKL:DH:FD HAHAHAHAHHAHAH. HE WOULD BE THINKING OF THE CHILDREN.

[therewaslife]

GASP GASP GASP! SO DIRTY. MINE EYES, THEY ARE SCARRED. SCAAAAAAAAAAAARRED. I WOULD NEVER SUGGEST SUCH A THING. I'M PURE AND ANGELIC.

[vanillajello]

YOU ARE FULL CRAP, IS WHAT YOU ARE. I BET YOUR MIND'S THE KIND OF TEMPLE THAT HAS DIRTY PICTURES ON THE WALLS.

[therewaslife]

HOW COULD YOU SAY SUCH A THING? I AM TOTALLY PURE AND ANGELIC. NOT FULL OF CRAP. LIES.

[vanillajello]

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S LYING. YOU LYING LIAR. YOU, MA'AM, ARE NO ANGEL.

[therewaslife]

LIES. YOU HAVE NO PROOF.

[vanillajello]

I NEED NO PROOF. BECAUSE IT'S OBVIOUS.

[therewaslife]

IT'S NOT.

AND YOU HAVE NO PROOF.

SO NYAH.

[brat_inslayage]

Only one?

Have you that little faith in us?

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

I am with you on that. People always tell me my hands freak them out because they look like those of a four year-old. SO ATTRACTIVE.

[trickydemigod.livejournal.com]

There's uses to it! Handcuffs don't fit on my wee wrists.

[dontvotemeout]

SHUT UP I HATE YOU.

[trickydemigod.livejournal.com]

DID I NAME A NAME? NO. YOU ARE JUST INSINUATING.

[didntchewgrass.livejournal.com]

I will now have that theme tune stuck in my head all day.

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

I'd got to hand it to you, you really have your finger on the pulse of a good random event that won't do any 'arm. Thumbs up. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this is an idea that should win you a trip someplace with palm trees. You nailed it. It's very cute-icle. And you realize that we're halfway to double digits for the game's age?

Let's give her a hand!

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

I cannot compete with that barrage of puns; I can only bow down to it.

Here, have a pretty icon.

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

The pretty icon only encourages me to continue with such behavior. Many people might think this is a bad thing. They are wrong. Or maybe I'm wrong, but I'm deluded enough not to know it, and that's good enough for me.

Thank you.
