Re: All things pink and flowery, all things blue and buildable
That workshop is far too tidy. Any real engineer needs to have tottering piles of junk equipment all over the place, also lots of books, papers and unnecessary gadgets.
Re: All things pink and flowery, all things blue and buildable
Three questions:
What's with the sewing machine?
Why does she have 2x4's for hands?
If she is an engineer, where is her train and why isn't she wearing striped overhauls and one of those striped engineer's caps?
OK, I know that was technically more than three questions. So what? I don't need to be good at math, I'm no engineer.

Limor Fried is doing a lot of work with wearable computing platforms. It is a pretty common application for physical computing, so a lot of hardware hackers have sewing machines in their workshops.
Ha ha. I love ruining people's joke questions by answering them.
Re: All things pink and flowery, all things blue and buildable
Hah! Like I would believe anything lisaurea would say or trust any of her links enough to even click on them.
What about those 2x4's?
You didn't even try to address the question about the train, did you? I think we all know why that is.

No, a real engineer has a 'Steam Engine'.
Or if they are some other kind of engineer, they're as dumb as a stone, like the ones I've worked with.

and the wall mounted shackles and a trap door for the failed experiments?

The new Lego catalog has the Lord of the Rings mini figures on one page, though I can't find the digital image online I did find this blog post about it

Well, she is the female with the meatiest role in the books.

Who is missing?
I don't remember any female characters in The Lord of the Rings. One of the reasons the books didn't interest me as a kid.
Re: All things pink and flowery, all things blue and buildable
There's Éowyn whose femaleness is the reason she could kill the Witch King. Then there are the lady elves, Arwen and Galadriel. All the fucking singing the damn elves do is the reason the books didn't interest me as a kid.
Re: All things pink and flowery, all things blue and buildable
I spent my youth setting those songs to music I wrote on my casio. Some of it didn't suck and I still remember. True story.
I meant to update this thread. When searching for ponies I found the "girls" Lego sets in the "boys" aisle at target. I will admit with the packaging it was a giant splash of pink that was hard to miss.
Re: All things pink and flowery, all things blue and buildable
I have. Actually, the same group that did that film was responsible for The Last Unicorn and the group that formed Studio Ghibli, who in terms of animation, I worship.
But I will say, absent of America's other great work, in their LOTR, FRODO OF THE NINE FINGERS haunts my dreams in its teribleness. Some of it was great. Others were seriously awful.
Re: All things pink and flowery, all things blue and buildable
I couldn't read the books at all. I don't remember what I did read, but I remember feeling like "Goddamn, dude, let me get to know the world through the characters' interactions with it". I liked the movies though, and Galadriel was one of my faves because she was so mysterious and I couldn't grok her motivations or even her sympathies. And Arwen was like a total major female plot point and stuff. Eowyn dressed in armor so she could go fight despite being told to stay in the keep, woman.
