And probably had some free time lately.
I, for one, am dying to find out what colour they paint Michael's toenails.

Here's something I whipped up the last hour or so.

Studio Commentary: "Now, I know many of you... that is, at least some of you... all right, all right, it was only one of you but I thought it was a decent idea... to bring back the member interview. Who's the lucky member? Well, I thought it would be nice to welcome back someone who joined up long ago, left us to rot for a while and came back for a second helping only by written request."

Anchor: "ScarlettP, welcome."
ScarlettP: "Oh my Gawd, wher'd you get that lovely costume?"
Anchor: "Um... well it's not a costume as much as it is my work suit."
ScarlettP: "Well, it's lovely. I make a livin' outta makin' things like that. Who made those tentacles?"
Anchor: "Sorry...? Oh, you mean my tie?"
ScarlettP: "... you're wearin' eight of 'em?"
Anchor: "Couldn't decide."
ScarlettP: "Right."
Anchor: "So... you're a costume designer, and I've seen a couple of them – I say, that Fairy Gothmother one was just excellent."
ScarlettP: "Why, I do declare, I think I'm startin' to blush." *giggle*
Anchor: "So, let's begin, shall we... you were a prominent member of the old board and I believe a close acquaintance of our editor?"
ScarlettP: "Yeh, hated 'im."
Anchor: "...errrrright, well you're not the only one."
ScarlettP: "He was such an ass, just totally went on my nerves."
Anchor: "I know exactly what you mean."
ScarlettP: "And he wrote this absolutely terrible and harassing piece of me and I just loathed 'im for it."
Anchor: "Right! I'm glad somebody finally supports me on this, he's such a terrible guy to work for with his many eccentricities and bad tempers and his total lack of tact – I mean he's just not a very nice guy at all, right?"
ScarlettP: "Sure he is."
Anchor: "And the way he dresses – I mean have you ever seen a more... um, what?"
ScarlettP: "He's a nice guy."
Anchor: "Um... 'keeeey, I was kinda betting on some backing there."
ScarlettP: "Ain't gettin' it. Kalah rocks."
Anchor: "He really doesn't that much."
ScarlettP: "Well, after the initial encounter I found that he was a nice a guy after all."
Anchor: "Right. So I'm facing the guy alone after the broadcast. That bodes well for me. Let's go to something else, like you, Scarlett..."
ScarlettP: "Call me Lety, if ya like."
Anchor: "Right, that wide Southern accent of yours, is it a matter of practice or does it just come naturally to speak like you have a fiddle in your throat?"
ScarlettP: "Yeh, I changed my mind, call me Scarlett."
Anchor: "What I want to know is, how long does it take you to make a costume?"
ScarlettP: "Two hours."
Anchor: "Seriously?"
ScarlettP: "No."
Anchor: "Ah. Well, how much do they cost to make?"
ScarlettP: "A dollar ninety-five."
Anchor: "No, seriously."
ScarlettP: "Two hundred and sixty five thousand."
Anchor: "I guess we'll just say it varies. New topic. When will you finish that campaign of yours?"
ScarlettP: "What campaign?"
Anchor: "Oh, come on."
ScarlettP: "I'm busy with real life stuff at the moment. And have been for some time. Dunno when it'll be finished, if ever."
Anchor: "OK, what's your favourite colour?"
ScarlettP: "Red."
Anchor: "Movie?"
ScarlettP: "Gone with the wind."
Anchor: "Food?"
ScarlettP: "Curried chicken with apples 'n dried cranberries."
Anchor: "Why, you're just a southern stereotype, aren't you?"
ScarlettP: "Nah. I'm just a lady."
Anchor: "You mean, over-sensitive and sobbing all the time?"
ScarlettP: "Boo-hooo... what do you meaaan?" *sob*
Anchor: "Oh, come on now, don't be like that... here, have a piece of cake."
ScarlettP: "Oh, that's so nice of you, I'm so touched I think I'm gonna cry..."
Anchor: "Right... Em, can we get back to your return to the forums... you came back after some pressure from our editor, can I just ask what kind of hold does he have on you that would make you come back to this god-awful place?"
ScarlettP: "He got some pictures from my family's last Christmas party."
Anchor: "...aaaaand that's... bad?"
ScarlettP: "Well, they're pictures like... this one 'ere."
Anchor: "Oh, my God."
ScarlettP: "No, it's just my cousin with..."
Anchor: "Thank you, let's leave that for now, shall we... no fuss... let's go on with the latest news from Chattanooga, the city by the bay, the city that never sleeps, the city that sounds like a freight train coming chattanooga-chattanooga-choo-choo!"
ScarlettP: "Yess."
Anchor: "How do you feel about astronauts wearing diapers?"
ScarlettP: "What's that got to do with... oh, never mind – well, as long as it's extra soft. On those long flights you just have to have some soft material on your bee-hind and I suppose..."
Anchor: "Couldn't they just do like Alan Shepard?"
ScarlettP: "Not if you're in the car on your way to abduct the other woman, it would totally ruin the seats. But what..."
Anchor: "Nowak's from Houston, isn't she? And that's in the South! And so's Tennessee!"
ScarlettP: "That's pretty silly."
Anchor: "So is sending cookies across the Atlantic."
ScarlettP: "I was being nice, dammit!"
Anchor: "It had nothing to do with some pervert having possession of a certain... private item of yours? Extortion plays really well with the viewers, you know."
ScarlettP: "Well, it's true that my soul's been hidden some where over there by..."
Anchor: "Soul? I was talking about the diaries."
ScarlettP: "Eh?"
Anchor: "Eh... I was told Ethric the Mad Lich had some sort of hold on you and that he had a diary?"
ScarlettP: "No, he had diarrhea. 's why he couldn't be here t'night."
Anchor: "I see... did this have anything to do with those... cookies you sent him?"
ScarlettP: *ahem* "Well, they were perfectly fine when they left my care, I suppose anything could've happened to 'em in transit."
Anchor: "But there's nothing wrong with this lovely cake you brought tonight, I trust? No laxative in this? Heh heh."
ScarlettP: "Oh, I'm eatin' it myself you know."
Anchor: "Yes, it's quite delicious."
ScarlettP: "Mm-hm, good thing I'm resistant to it."
Anchor: "Excuse me, I'll just go to the restroom for a while."

Studio Commentary: "Ladies and Gentle men, the lovely ScarlettP, a nice hand of applause if you please. We'll be back with more or less sooner or later if we can find anyone interesting."

I'm not sure if I should be flattered or pissed.

*giggle*

At least you got that part right. Silly man. I speak to him ONE time on the NetPhone thingy and he's going to make fun of my accent for the rest of my life.

(And Kalah only wants me to finish the campaign because he has a "starring" role in it... while Ethric's character is Female.)

Yes, there is.

Image

A- The male cranial mass is more blocky and massive compared to the females which more rounder and tapers at the top.

B- The females Supraorbital margin is sharper while the males is rather round and dull.

C- The Zygomatic bone is more pronounced on the male skull.

D- The Mandible of a female is more rounded while the male's is squared.

E- Males have a deeper cranial mass

F- The supercilary arch is large and pronounced in the male.

Yep. Men are Blockheads.

And Tar, that's just SCARY!

--------------

Actually, the two main heroes of the campaign are "Scarlett & Tarmaskas" - aka "Scar & Tar". That's also scary. But in the 2nd map we have to seek out the 'Great Orical Kalah' for his advise. In the 4th map, we have to save him. Kalah sort of likes being the "Man behind the curtain" (Great and Powerful Oz.)
