When you guys think of me, what object or animal would represent me? Doing an art project, need some insight.

Face Ache · Oct 26, 2005, 10:14 PM

A brick through a window.

I am going to do a word association. And the word is THE word that cannot be
mentioned here in the fora. Can you guess the word and what it stands for?

Badger.

A flaming bag of dog poop. [/joking]

[Seriously] A wolverine. Or a chihuahua [/seriously]

Tesseract · Oct 26, 2005, 11:25 PM

A swarm of flies.
A phoenix (guess why).

Windows.

Maybe the question to ask is:

"what doesn't represent me?"

The answer: a ballerina

besson3c · Oct 27, 2005, 02:02 AM

(yes, ballerinas can be objects... objects of desire. I hear Kevin likes to wear tutus)

We're probably the only two people on here who know what a wolverine looks like without going to google first.

Something that makes a lot of noise.

Perhaps a peacock?

edit - you're Ca$h, right?

Ozmodiar · Oct 27, 2005, 05:26 AM

Something that easily freaks out. Like a dog whose leg is caught in a bear trap so he gnaws it off because he doesn't know any better.

Nope.

On topic: A terrier.

RAILhead · Oct 27, 2005, 06:32 AM

Will this work?

Personally, you remind me of a midget-version (real skinny, about 4'2") of the Hulk. With rabies. Frothing at the mouth. On crack.

Terriers, on general, aren't yappy.

That's stupid! Everyone knows how they look! Like Grizzly Adams on a bad hair day, with retractable adamantium claws!

But seriously, you'll have to add me to your elite clique of people who could recognize a wolverine without googling it. (Yes, I'm talking about the type without the retractable adamantium claws.)

Or the big "M" on the sides of their heads?

I'm another you can add to the list of people who know what a wolverine looks like. Must be that "growing up in Michigan" thing.

EDITED FOR ACCURACY:

Here's a little back ground on the wolverine state.:

Why is Michigan sometimes called "The Wolverine State?"
Michigan has long had an unofficial nickname: "The Wolverine State." However, evidence seems to show that if wolverines ever lived in Michigan, they would have been rare. We don't know exactly how the state got the nickname, but two stories attempt to explain it.

Some people believe that Ohioans gave Michigan the nickname around 1835 during a dispute over the Toledo strip, a piece of land along the border between Ohio and Michigan. Rumors in Ohio at the time described Michiganians as being as vicious and bloodthirsty as wolverines. This dispute became known as the Toledo War.

Another reason given for the nickname is a story that has Native Americans, during the 1830s, comparing Michigan settlers to wolverines. Some native people, according to this story, disliked the way settlers were taking the land because it made them think of how the gluttonous wolverine went after its food.
