Thanks very much InklingElf. What did you mean by a sharpie I looked it up because I didn't know, this is what I found.


1. Sharp"ie\, n. (Naut.) A long, sharp, flat-bottomed boat, with one or two masts carrying a triangular sail. They are often called Fair Haven sharpies, after the place on the coast of Connecticut where they originated. [Local, U.S.]

2. 1: an alert and energetic person [syn: eager beaver, busy bee, live wire, sharpy] 2: a person who swindles you by means of deception or fraud [syn: swindler, chiseller, chiseler, gouger, scammer, grifter, sharper, sharpy] 3: a long narrow shallow-draft boat with a flat bottom and a triangular sail; formerly used along the northern Atlantic coast of the United States.

Did you use a boat to write on me? How in earth did you lift it?

Or am I just being being silly and its some name of a marker that I havn't heard of or don't recall.

Sharpies are very permanent...I don't recommend using a sharpie to colour your fingernails unless you want them to be black for a long time...

Boots Sharpies and Hobbit feet

That reminds me:
One time at a party (mostly a harmless LOTR movie marathon of FOTR and TTT) I brought a bag of multi color sharpies. Me and my friends decided to draw on ourselves (don't ask). And since we' were going to ROTK the next day, I decided to draw brown hobbit hairs on my left foot. Everything else I drew washed off within a week or so. But the "hobbit foot" didn't even fade for at least a month. It was kinda embarrassing when I was in the ER a few weeks later.

So I don't suggest drawing on yourself unless your parents don't mind...the stuff might stick for a while.

sharpies.... hahaha... My friend has a pair of jeans which she ripped at the knees. It was too tempting. I made her knees into faces. And then the ink wouldnt come off for like four days.

i think that plastic surgery for elf ears would be very cool. but not like, you know, serious sticky out ones, just subtly pointed.

Plastic surgery? That's extreme -- but then again Leonard Nimoy (look at my avatar!) lived through a huge portion of his life well-loved with pointy ears...prosthetic ones of course.I don't know about plastic surgery...

I think there is something seriously attractive about pointed ears....what's up with that? Am I just insane?
