That actually is the story of my life

I'm pretty sarcastic in "the real world" so most people don't always get my jokes unless I'm deliberately trying to make the person laugh, but I agree. Written text doesn't really translate jokes/sarcasm very well, sadly.

If it makes you feel better, I've gotten most of your jokes. I don't know how many people have understood mine, though.

Yep, it's Meghan. The "h" is vitally important. And you're Kayla, right?

I guess we just have a similar sense of humour that not everyone completely understands. Oh well. More fun for us, then!

I knew you got it...Meghan, was it? :b

When I said "strangling," I meant that he was pulling on Aladdin's neck with all of his body weight which would in reality cut off air through his windpipe (I'm assuming that Abu weighs enough to do that, anyway). Of course he isn't actually strangling Aladdin! I just think it's funny that the artist would have him hang onto Aladdin by his neck instead of his arm or waist or something less dangerous. :b

I don't really think Abu is either, that's why I put the word strangled in quotation marks. I just think the picture is sort of funny if you think of it in that way and then look at Aladdin's relatively happy facial expression. That's all. I was just trying to be funny, but I guess I really ought to work on that, though.

Or maybe Abu is clinging onto Aladdin's neck like Jasmine does before they start to sing "A Whole New World"?

I don't think he's trying to strangle him. I think it's just a coincidence.

[Fez_Head]

I do the same thing. If I'm writing about the actual character, I write it with a capital "g", but if I'm writing about the generic species (?), I don't. Maybe that's why it looked so bizarre. And I think I've already expressed my dislike when these stories call Carpet, the Magic Carpet, so I won't go into that

Although, looking at the first picture of Abu again, is it just me or is anyone else thinking that Aladdin is pretty calm for someone who is being "strangled" by a monkey?

[imekitty]

I usually write just write "Genie" when referring to him, but if I am going to say "the genie," I don't capitalize the "g." It's sort of like how you capitalize "mom" and "dad" when you use them as names, but when using them as descriptions (i.e. my mom or my dad), you don't.

So, yeah, "the Genie" looks very strange to me as does "the Magic Carpet." :b

I like Jasmine's white shoes.

"Get the crowbar. We have a clinger."

I agree. The pictures are actually really nice, especially their outfits. I totally see that they do have an interesting Oriental type of vibe. Is there any outfit that doesn't look good on these two? Also, Aladdin doesn't look like he raided Jasmine's shoe closet again, unlike the winter book Aladdinsgenie posted a while ago. Good for you, Al!

I like how Genie is actually in this book, but it's weird seeing his name written as "the Genie." I know that's how he introduced himself to Al initially, as "the genie of the lamp", but maybe it's just me. It's like writing the Magic Carpet instead of Carpet, which this story did as well. Oh well, I did think it was a rather cute story, regardless.

That line was so adorable. I could totally hear Scott's voice when I read it.

Abu hanging on by basically strangling Aladdin, haha. XD I like their winter outfits here. They kind of have an Asian vibe.

"Anything to make you happy." Aw. :3

I hope you all like these new pics I've obtained! Christmas comes to Agrabah!
