This is going to be long, sorry.

Heh heh...my *mom* of all people really likes all the characters in their Christmas attire, but she told me (very quietly and conspiratorially like only a Jewish mother can) "In that red dress, Tinkerbell looks a little slutty!" :D:

There was an old myth that Tinkerbell was drawn by an animator who used Marilyn Monroe's body as a model. I think that myth was debunked, though if you ask me, that little Pixie is over endowed and has a figure like Marilyn's!!!! and I don't mean Marilyn Manson! :twisted: :hysteria:

I would gladly trade body shapes with Tink any day, but then it might be A LOT more difficult for her to fly.

"Silly Rabbi! Kicks are for Trids!" :p:

Okay... Happy Hanukkah everybody, there's your obligatory Rabbi joke! Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it, and Happy Holidays to those who don't! :D:

That much typing for THAT punchline. I don't know whether to admire or pity you! :D:

I've also wondered, for those who take every word literally and can not allow any variation of opinion of what that literal word means, which version is correct when choosing the exact quote to follow. Even in the english translations there have been at least 3 or 4 major rewrites that I know of, and compairing any two, side by side, shows they frequently can't even agree on the major points, much less the details. And that is LONG after any translation difficulties that arise due to multiple translations and retranslations based on the previous translation through several different languages. Then you have someone like King James who was a poet and reworked everything with an eye to how it flowed off the tongue, even if it required a slight shift of emphasis or meaning (as the then current learned researchers had understood the previous version meanings).

Personally I'll stick with "do no harm". If you think about it, that covers almost everything and dosen't require a thick book and is almost impossible to misinterpret. :D:

The sad part is, they will continue to argue with you, especially if you are logical and concise in your statements back to them!

I have had to deal with people like this from time to to, and it IS creepy, because I know they can go from a rant, to physical violence VERY quickly. (In some cases)

Well that makes perfect sense when you think about it. Everybody knows that Jesus went around finding people who didn't agree with him and punching them in the nose! :p:

Yeah, guess they skipped the part of their study where it talks about forgiving trespasses, and kindness, and.. well you get the idea!!

The thing is, I'd never typed it before, but I realized mid-story that it tells way better as a typed joke. When I tell it "live" I get easily confused and find myself repeating...uh...myself. When I type it, I can make sure I don't give away the punchline early and go into *way* more detail. And especially liked my idea of trying to pass it off as an "important historical story of my people." Makes it sound really important so people *have* to keep reading or risk being rude and ignorant! :p: So, what we've all learned here today is that I'm a verbose, self-important ass...but at least I have fun doing what I do! :D:

Correct. From the Disney Archives:
http://disney.go.com/vault/archives/cha ... inker.html

"Animator Marc Davis' personification of her as a winged pixie with a very womanly figure was widely criticized as too sexually suggestive by Barrie purists, especially after it was rumored that she was modeled after actress Marilyn Monroe. Tink was actually modeled after Margaret Kerry, the actress who performed her live-action reference"
