Every time I attempt to read The Hobbit, I feel as though my brain is going crazy flipping between the various portrayals of Bilbo. I would prefer to invent my own Bilbo, but my brain settles on a slightly younger version of the Fellowship of the Ring Bilbo. Unfortunately, that same brain also likes to pull up the Martin Freeman version, and occasionally the goofball from the old animated film - sometimes even the Helpful Vancouver Vet, which you will surely understand if you’ve ever laid eyes upon that gentle soul.
Now, I would be fine visualizing Freeman it I didn’t absolutely fucking hate the portrayal of the dwarves in the most recent Hobbit films. I can’t get those nightmarish faces and choices of facial hair stylization out of my head. And this terrible cycle perpetuates every time a character’s name is mentioned throughout the novel.
I’m sure I have a deeper issue going on psychologically, as I struggle to just let it be and enjoy the book for what it is. But as it stands, this is an ongoing problem.
Okay I feel like being a little pedantic. Goats don’t eat metal. Goats are actually very selective eaters. They can eat a wide diet but only eat the best first. The can thing mostly comes from back when labels were put on with gelatine based glues. Goats would chew on the can to get the glue off.
Interestingly enough cows will eat metal. Not intently but cows are not good at being selective eaters so if it ends up in their mouth it is usually eaten regardless if the cow wants to or not. This leads to a condition called hardware disease, where metal collects in the cows stomach specifically the reticulum. This can lead to the stomach being punctured and the cow dying from sepsis.
Fear of Goats, God and school shootings. Using these three things are all you need to scare you’re child into behaving well and in turn to be a good parent. I personally like to weave all three together at once
Look at your eyes in the mirror and rotate your head, look on the veins in your eye and you will see that your eye tries to stay parallel to the ground.
In humans it is just much less obvious due to our round pupils.
And the brain adjusts visual image with other information like our sense of gravity and equilibrium. So if you tilt your head, you don’t lose sense of up and down - unless you’re in zero-g.
My dog would do it. She’s evil. She has murdered many small animals and then uses their corpses as toys before eating parts of them and leaving the rest to rot.
She once found a nest of baby bunnies in the yard and slurped them all up like spaghetti as we watched in horror.
My boy caught a mouse once. He really worked for it too, he had little bits of moss stuck to his nose when I found him. When I told him it was time to go inside he just shook his head to kill it and headed for the door like it would just be okay to bring it in lol. Had to pry it out of his mouth.
My mom has a type of Chinese Crested with a full coat of long hair and she’s a very pretty dog. A very sweet dog too. I’m still mad that my mom got her from a breeder, but I can’t deny that she is a pretty and sweet little dog.
I don’t know who is telling you poodles are known for obedience, you really have to work with them much more than other comparable breeds or they just do what they want on top of often showing aggression to people they aren’t familiar with.
