No, *that's* more disturbing!

[mrv3000]

elismor and I have been arguing over which is more disturbing - elf porn or a plot point involving space slugs. You know, that age-old question.

I'd like to point to Animorphs which had evil space slugs. and cute guys turning into Hawks and being unable to turn back *sobs*

Oh and Wrath of Khan, which also had evil space slugs.


sllluuuuuuuuuuugs.

Does the Doctor pour salt on them? Do rocks fall? ;)

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

See? So it's a total staple of sci-fi! How could I *not* include space slugs?

And salt is mentioned, but will not work because of the space part of the space slugs. :D

Didn't the slugs crawl into ears and then control minds? Ahhh the early Star Trek movies. Good memories. BTW-Your icon is freaking me out.

[sethoz.livejournal.com]

Yes, and it made them do EVIL THINGS. and when they resited the slugs ATE THEIR BRAINS.

It's an evil icon. The clowns are coming. Coming I say!!

[kammgirl.livejournal.com]

Oh Lord I am going to dream about evil clowns tonight.

[sethoz.livejournal.com]

But then, rocks fell on them and they all died. *nods*

Honestly, space slugs as a plot point has been done already, by multiple incarnations of Star Trek, no less, and also can't Goa'uld be considered space slugs? So thinking that space slugs is a disturbing plot point is kind of weak sauce. My reaction is, meh.

Now elf porn? I was pretty horrified to realize that there are multiple types. A friend of mine downloaded some Brazilian Christmas elf porn, and then of course there's your Tolkienesque high elf porn. Way more than I needed to know, so I thought I'd spread the joy.

YES.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Yeah, ran across a pic of that...

[maisfeeka.livejournal.com]

Personally, I'd have to go with any porn involving Space slugs - with or without elves. Just saying...

*grins*

Okay, just about spit out my coffee just now.

*falls over*

[maisfeeka.livejournal.com]

Always glad to brighten people's Mondays. ;)

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Monday's are always brightened by slug sex...

[maisfeeka.livejournal.com]

Whatever makes you happy, sweetie. *winks*

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

See, now I'm trying not to laugh as coworkers walk by...

[maisfeeka.livejournal.com]

As if you having sex with space slugs is any of their business! Really! How rude! ;)

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Okay, me just now after getting a funny look.

"Um, someone just emailed me about a check. They put one of those winky faces at the end. Cracks me up."

[maisfeeka.livejournal.com]

*giggles helplessly*

Ah, if they only knew!

[professor_mirror]

They make that. It's called tentacle hentai.

[maisfeeka.livejournal.com]

Yes, and I still find it more disturbing than either elf porn or space slugs. ;)

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Oh Lord.

*hides*

[splash-the-cat.livejournal.com]

That's a pretty definitive poll response, there.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Most days I wonder why people keep me friended. I really do.

[splash-the-cat.livejournal.com]

It's totally for these polls.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Now it's starting to make sense.

[jakeish.livejournal.com]

Wait, wouldn't elf porn just be human porn with pointier ears? And thus not terribly weird. I'd be a little more concerned by lusty orcs.

That Wrath of Khan scene freaked me out SO MUCH when I was a kid.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Yes, but in relation to space slugs? I'm thinking if you opened up two web pages, one with a picture of space slugs and one with a picture of elf porn, the freak-out levels would differ. :D

[elismor.livejournal.com]

You fail to grasp my point.

Typical.

*woe*

I am so misunderstood.

*emo*

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Your point was that slugs are ickier than elf porn. Which...

Okay, would you rather have a slug crawling across your desk or two of santa's little helpers going at it?

[elismor.livejournal.com]

No, my point wasn't that slugs are icky (though they are). My point was that the use of slugs as a plot point is equally disturbing [as elf porn] because it's such a prominent cliche in sci-fi. :)

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Now nowhere before do I remember the word "cliche." I remember slugs being icky...

[littledivinity.livejournal.com]

WAit, elf porn as in LOTR? Or elf porn as in "giving new meaning to Santa's Little Helpers"? Because Legolas/Galadriel or something similar I have been very acclimated to since my brief foray into the scary land of LOTR fans.

However, I hate anything squirmy or wormy so evil space slugs basically beats almost anything else you could come up with (unless it involved ladybugs, that would be worse).

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Okay, you're in the Elis camp. You must go sit over there now...

:D

[elismor.livejournal.com]

Come sit with me. I'm way cooler than Michelle.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Well, that's true. Absolutely no way I can get around that one.

[littledivinity.livejournal.com]

*sits next to elismor* Hello, I'm Hannah, and I really hate things that squirm. But I really hate slimy, squirmy slugs.
