Круто! I have no idea what that means but it must be something like "awesome!"

isn't that the word that's pronounced like "Shto!" that always makes me wish I spoke russian because it's so cool to say?

Babel fish translated it at "steeply." Screw you too, babel fish!

Incidentally he's basically showing you how to make one in those pictures. If only I had a drawer with assorted lengths of wire...

That's great. There's some kick-arse furniture on the blog too.

look at the little guns! It's so cute to see nerds playing dolls.

look at the little guns! It's so cute to see nerds playing dolls. Toy soldiers are not dolls lady... they are uh, action figures! Dolls don't carry guns.

Awesome find, riffy - most excellent post. Those figures are so tiny - look at them in relation to the matchstick or the die, wowie. The overall site looks like hobbyists sharing some how-to on awesome arts and crafts projects. These critters are fun too.

Hey wait where's all the single-link harters? Screw it, that link is fucking awesome, and a link to the Cat 5e specification would have ruined it.

very impressive; excellent find!

Very cool. Minor note, it looks more like 12 gauge electrical wire than cat 5 ethernet cable. :-)

This is awesome. Sidenote: During a Psych 101 course, my class were discussing gender roles being nature or nuture and my prof finished a sentece with "..like girls playing with toy cars and boys playing with dolls." I couldn't resist yelling "They're action figures, damn it!"

Babelfish is correct, if limited: "круто," used here in its colloquial sense of "cool," does indeed mean "steep."

Steep!

I knew a kid in elementary school who used to make figures out of cheese wax and aluminum foil. This is pretty much the same.

Wow, I thought it was a new category 5 hurricane! Then I realized that hurricanes are all female. And I saw the picture of the guy made out of wire.

BLF, not all hurricanes are female. But you're OK, because it's not hurricane season.

By: BlackLeotardFront

BlackLeotardFront — Thu, 16 Mar 2006 22:42:24 -0800

I guess you're right. What am I thinking of that's all female, other than boats? and bene gesserit?
