When will the freaks die...

 

[The Grackle]

Wow.

"pseudosurgical" is my new favorite word.

Just be glad they were not inspired by half-orcs instead

Brings to mind the guy who had that Darth Maul pattern tattooed on his face before Episode I came out.

Too bad the character died in the first movie...

Wierdos. I'm inviting them to my next steam-tunnel session so I can whoop up on them with my real magic longsword.

Since it changes the contours of the outer ear, I wonder if the procedure affects how these folks hear.

Or Illithids. Hmm... there is the practice of tongue-splitting, though. I can at least fathom the notion of getting your ears bobbed, but tongue-splitting... *shudder*

Oh, and haiiro, there's enough variation in the shape of people's ears that I doubt there's any significant impact -- any variance would be within human norms. I've met someone whose ears were naturally elf-shaped and he seemed to hear just fine.

A guy who went to my youth group looked almost exactly like Frodo in the movies, except he was a bit thinner and a few feet taller. He even had little points on the backs of his ears. Uncanny, I tell you...

Soo, Elijah Wood went to your youth group, hm....

It doesn't matter, since they won't listen to you anyway.
