    I think it's a raven, not a vulture... :D But yes, that's because they don't actually have "proper" avatars or portraits. Gems are an automated ranking system so they work differently.

    Ah.. raven. I like them better. The bird seemed like a high flyer to me, but I'm anything but an ornithologist. :D

    Now I've got Electric Six's "Improper Dancing" stuck in my head. I get that when I hear that something is not "proper".

    What is it??

    I mean, I get that it's King's Landing, but what's the get-up? Is it some Lego simulation thing, or Minecraft?

    I got a surplus of cream today that needs to be used up fast. Although I know I can use it up by making a small batch of butter, I decided that I would make part of it into some homemade ice-cream. Since the ice-cream is very soft when you first make it I came up with the brilliant idea of spooning it into some skull shaped icecube trays I have. Then I can serve little cream skulls. Now all I need is to find something tiny and flavourful for the eyes.

    Red Hots! Though maybe cinnamon wouldn't go well with the flavor you made :)

    Assuming it is number one taste chocolate, cinnamon is nice.

    I am glad to be self protected by living in a village with no groceries store.

    D, I had to think of Fruitella Dummies. I don't know if they still exist and if Fruitella is available where you live. The usual Fruitella's are like Chewits, I guess. The Dummies are tiny, toffee-like balls, packed in litlle boxes. Maybe you could make your own tiny toffee balls and use them as skull eyes.

    BTA, that link doesn't work for me. I get a small message saying "this is an invalid link". :confused:

    Merlanni, you don't like groceries? :p

    I get an invalid link message too BT.

    Actually I made vanilla icecream. I figured that it was a pretty versatile flavour. All of those ideas are pretty good for the eyes although I'm afraid that since I would be using an ice-cube tray for the skull part the skulls will be pretty tiny. I still haven't made the actual icecream yet because the maker had to freeze overnight, but the base mixture is ready and in the fridge.

    Since there is going to be a lot more ice-cream than skull molds I came up with another idea as well. I have a recipe for fortune-cookies. The process involves folding them into their shape quickly as soon as they come out of the oven. I decided I will make little cups instead. I bet that will be an amazing way to serve the icecream.

    Hm. Weird. It was working yesterday. Updated the above link to a different one for red hots :)

    They're little round red cinnamon flavored candy. Perfect for skull eyes! ;)

    Those would be perfect BT, I don't remember seeing them in any of the regular stores around here though.

    Dice, will you be serving hot tea in those cups? You'd have to play Monkey Island first and see how it's done with the Mugs o' Grog. :)

    I think I tried Monkey Island at one point, but those games drive me bazaar-crazy with the damn puzzles you get stuck on and don't have a reasonable solution. Just like when I downloaded that free version of Space Quest and you have to drop some object in a particular part of a maze to make the monster eat it. There is no way I would spend four hours using objects that don't work in random places just to see if they will eventually work. I just end cheating by finding the solution on the net and the game becomes one big "look-up-to-see-what-to-do-next" fest.
