Mange, <Hi all, while the Chief is drooling over art showing the People's primitive ancestors I thought you might like something more contemporary. Here's one of Laughs Brightly throwing a Frisbee.>

<Or here to browse his gallery.>

Chief, "Did you notice zenzmurfy's signature on the Frisbee. Cool!"

Mange, "Poor runsforcelery he'll have to edit all the Honor Harrington novels references to Frisbee and change Frizbee to Zenzmury.>

"I don't think so. Also you just can't appreciate the classics of his gallery showing native treecat culture."

<Culture Smulcher, the People love art to be fun and show action :p

Mange, <The artist Zenzmurfy's latest is made for jokes:

He titled it Periscope but I would have titled it 'Sharks? Sharks!, I do'n' see no stinken sharks!'>

Chief, "Hey mange did you see this one in Next Honorverse Main Stream Novel thread:

Hutch wrote:
AJKohler wrote:Hey, Hutch, check your spelling. I think you've got 'reeberstaben' wrong, and I'm not sure about 'yetisygner.'

Wouldn't want to confuse us now, would you?


Much thanks, it should have been reeberstraudem, but yetisygner is appropriate according to the Galactic Glossary of Gobbledegook, 71st edition, published 1920 PD.


Mange, <Galactic Glossary of Gobbledegook, 71st edition, published 1920 PD. Wasn't that a plagiarized chapter from Douglas Adam's The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy?>

Chief, "Our artist friend Zenzmurfy (Mike Ling) added two treecat designs:

Treecat Hardsuit.......and.......Treecat Softsuit

Mange, <Looks more like your beloved treecat marine battle armor to me.> Image

"Very funny. Hey Mange David Weber's treecat name is runsforcelery. Do you know his wife Sharon's treecat name?"

<Don't know, but with several kids, pets, and runsforcelery probably Guards-the-refrigrator.>

"Sharon, we hope you're feeling better by now."

So Mange got a joke?"

Mange. <Poor Honor has been away from home so much that on recent visit this happened:

Emilie, 'Look Raoul there's moma.'

Raoul, 'Not moma. This moma:

Fire Salamander

Emilie, 'No that's moma. Who told you this was your moma?'

For you not on Baen's Bar I shared some of zenzemurfy's treecat art there and then shared his Diplomatic Gift from the 1632verse (Assiti Shards here)

Image

That started a humorous exchange:

Baen Books Publisher Toni Weisskopf wrote:.
That better not be a treecat on his lap; no slash universes here.--Toni


Another poster asked what was a slash universe, I posted this example of My Little Pony slash Star Trek:

Image

http://suddenly-steinberg.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d5l5jcs

That sparked this one:

tarl wrote:Hey, that's far better than I would have expected when the subject of
"slash" came up. Almost all the "slash" I've seen out on the net
involves sexual relationships between well-known fictional characters
(often gay sexual relationships). When you mentioned "slash" involving a
treecat in someone's lap, I needed some mind-bleach.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slash_fiction


Mange, <What does this have to do with the Honorverse?>

Chief, "I'm getting there with a post by my friend Rainer from Germany:

Rainer Prem wrote:.
Hmmm,

don't you know that all felines on earth descend from a family of genetically modified undercover treecats caught in an Assiti Shard and transported 65 million years back in time, where their Ball of Fire killed all the dinosaurs and made them the dominant lifeform for the next 64 million years?

All this treecat art and no video clip or pic of Mange and Poker Gangham style? How can YouTube possibly survive the lack? [G]

Hi, be carefull what you ask for you might just get it:

zenzmurfy wrote: General Artist

I have been wanting to draw stilties for a long time but never got around to it. I want to make a fan-art mock up of a movie trailer for OBS.

I really have to thank you for rounding up all the info on the stilties! Curiously enough I do remember reading that stuff a long time ago, not that I could have remembered any of it off the top of my head. :)

Here is my problem so far. I have a design for something stilt-like and praying mantis-like, but I still need to know what their hands are like, and what do they have for heads and facial features. In fact if I am reading it right, even though Stromboli thinks they look insect-like, they are mammals of a sort, so.... hair? fur? skin, no exoskeleton?

Eventually produced this art:
