Is that the dildocorn icon? Thanks! You can blame uberbitsch for the idea - evidently someone strapped a dildo to the head of a carousel horse, and she imported the idea to an RPG we're in together.
OK, so it's not the dildocorn icon - I'm just too used to getting icon-love comments for that one. This one's just my username in Linear B. Sorry about the confusion!
"Where", she asked with fascination, "can you put in your name (in English orthography or phonetically or whatever) and get Linear B phonetic renderings back out?" Simply because that's the sort of obscure geekery that amuses her.
I'm not sure there is any such place as yet - I did that one the old-fashioned way, looking at symbol charts and explanations of how the system worked and drawing up the rendering myself. Now, if I could only remember where the heck I got the font I used...ah, here we are (http://www.csupomona.edu/~jcclark/fonts/). Ancientscripts.com (http://www.ancientscripts.com/) has an excellent description of the script, and Omniglot (http://www.omniglot.com/)'s is pretty decent as well.
Oooog. Having recently had a 'scope up "there" ... and yes, kiddies, even sedated it was less than comfortable ... I can well imagine having something like that slithering up my ass. Oooog again. If it were less uncomfortable it would be more erotic, I'm afraid, and the last thing I need, the vanishment of any remaining shred of dignity, is to be a 58-year-old man getting a stiffy from having an artificial worm crawl up my ass, in front of a doctor and nurse. I'll take the discomfort.
Urrghh! There are some things where you just have to grit your teeth and accept that they will be unpleasant, because it would be far, far worse if they were in any way pleasant.
... okay, I'm oficially Too Pervy now, because the first thought I had was that soeone, somewhere, would most assuredly get a bundle of these things and make them into an animatronic tentacle beast for the pr0n market, looking to bring live action to a niche currently occupied by animation. I don't care if don't don't have any of that material myself (Honestly, I don't! I like stuff with some semblance of a plot.) just thinking it is bad enough.
