Title: Open Discussion: Nermal and Cave Scorpions
Post by: Otesanek on Tue, 31 May 2016, 02:56:44: How do you feel about Nermal from Garfield? What about those dang cave scorpions!? Let's all share our feelings on these two topics. I'll start:

Nermal

(https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/a6/1b/7b/a61b7b99c0dbb78bff8962c34663beb0.jpg)

First of all, I personally think Nermal is overrated. I mean he is alright, but I guess I just don't get the hype. What's up with the eyelashes man? Everyone thinks you are a chick because of the dang eyelashes. Have you ever heard of manscaping? Sheesh, get over yourself and stop bragging about being "The Worlds Cutest Kitten". I honestly think the Garfield franchise took a massive hit when Nermal joined the cast in 1979. I mean, Jon and Garfield were JUST starting to hit it off and vibe, then this grey garbagekitten struts in like he's the dang king of the world! Of course I should say, I might be biased being that I am an Odie man myself, but that is how I feel about Nermal and I don't think it's going to change anytime soon.

Cave Scorpions

Are you FRIGGIN' kidding me!? Get the heck outta here you jabronies! One of, if not THE best party arachnids.

Well, that's my take, what do you guys think? Feel free to have an Open Discussion, post pics and share feelings! Really, anything goes! (STAY ON TOPIC PLEASE)

No, I am not kidding you. But I would be down to party with these arachnids because I recently learned that cave scorpions (Tailless whipscorpions) do not bite, sting or produce venom/toxins. RAD!

THIRD DISCUSSION TOPIC: Are you my cousin Tim? He lives in Bellingham and this seems like something he'd post.

Who isn't calling them scorpions? And what do you like about Nermal?

Sorry, no recollection of that. But remember that one time I was like 13 and you were in your 20s, drinking a beer? I told you that you had bad beer breath then you called me a little ****? Now that I'm an adult and have an appreciation for beer I just wanted to apologize. In fact, I sent you a message about that encounter on facebook a few months back hoping to reconcile and haven't heard anything back. Please respond.

Back on track, "nermal fan club" yields almost no quality results on google. I think that's really strange. I think I'd like to start one but I'm worried that this may result in some internet backlash, similar to the time that I started a Brett Ratner appreciation thread on an indie radio station forum. Cave Scorps don't need no fan club because they're badass, live in caves and don't give a hoot about fans (probably).

Post by: Photekq on Wed, 01 June 2016, 23:41:16: My friend is a Scooby Doo Enthusiast (really, I'm not kidding - he calls himself that, including the capital E) and he says that Scrappy Doo is genuinely the worst character even concocted in any form of media in the history of media. Therefore, any opposing opinions are moot. You cannot argue with a Scooby Doo Enthusiast

Nermals and cave scorps. I would like to politely encourage everyone to discuss these two topics.
