Wow. Really?

[Mixxi]

So, I got curious about what the spambots (aka "guests") looked at when they came to the Saga boards. Apparently...they have a thing for Halfling porn. One was checking out this old thread:

http://sagafamily.org/index.php?topic=4283.0

Seriously? These things really existed?

[Rumze]

HAHAHAHAHA
salacious

460+ views for a 3+ year-old post with only 8 replies.  Dirty, dirty Halfling porn-loving spambots.

*sits back with popcorn and waits for the Halfling versus skritt porn race to heat up*

P.S. Have these boards always autocorrected "Halfling" to have a capital 'H'?  I only just noticed...

Yep, at least since the current incarnation of the software. It capitalizes anything it recognizes as a racial/ethnic adjective like American, English, and Romanian. I'm not sure who put Halfling into its database and yet not dwarf, gnome, or troll.

I obviously have not been posting enough Halfling recipes.  For pie and such.

... as in these are recipes for pie made from halflings, or halfling recipes for pie?

It's a vague tease to spur on a Halfling stampede.  I don't actually know any recipes with Halfling as the main ingredient.  I never could make a decent Halfling eating evil troll, ogre, or dark elf back in the day.  I tried, and I was really awful at it.

And mainly, I'm just looking for excuses to repeatedly type 'Halfling' in my posts because the autocapping is amusing me.  It doesn't take much. 

[Sroth]

Weird, it didn't capitalize my halfling.

[Mixxi]

I bet my iPad and phone autocap Halfling for me.

[PinkRose]

Sroth, Your halfling must be ------- this tall to ride this capitalization ride.

[PinkRose]

Hmmm. Mine didn't work either. Using Chrome on a PC.

[Alirrin]

That's odd, Halfling always capitalizes for me using IE on Windows 8.  *shrug*

The only "Halfling" recipe I know of from EQ2 was for Halfing Pickles, which you could learn from the pickle seller in Freeport, IIRC. I never asked exactly what part of the Halfling was being pickled ... I just don't want to know.

On the other hand, "Halfing recipes" are great! Jum-jum pie!

[Jasyn]

IE 50,000 on Windows 8 minus One does it, too.

Very fitting that a thread about Halfling porn has morphed into a thread about how one part of the word Halfling keeps rising to the occasion.  So to speak.

And Halfling.

[PinkRose]

Maybe Chrome is smarter than IE.

Halflings halfling halfling
Apparently Chrome on an iPad doesn't auto capitalize.

And, btw, Tuppen has the sexiest feet hair in all of Rivervale.

[PinkRose]

Who ever looked at Tuppen's feet?

[Rumze]

salacious indeed. No wonder the porn sites come here.

[Mixxi]

Who ever looked at Tuppen's feet?

Mixxi did! Considering EVERYTHING she could see, she was very careful to stare ONLY at his feet.

And, since we have several new friends here, in the interest of full disclosure and shared discomfort, here's what we're talking about (it was the result of a graphics glitch in EQ which made Mixxi see everyone naked for two weeks--sadly, sans fig leaves):

[Corsair]

I recall back in the day, when this was first posted, thinking as follows....

Moment one: Hahaahaaahaaaaa!!!

Moment two: Say, why did the person who edited the pic place the rather large maple leaf, with the point oriented in that specific manner? Verant couldn't possibly have made the race models fully anatomically detailed...could they? Oh my.

Moment three: Redacted for reader sanity.

These are the ways one's mind wanders during those old and rather long load screens while logging on for the evenings hunt. (Right after perusing the boards.)

[Sroth]

Haha, wow. Hell of a glitch!
