That is what I always thought it was only I thought she had her arms crossed like you did something wrong and were in trouble...

Man.  as long as they don't use your middle name.

When they yell at you with your full First, and Middle, and Last name, all strung together, it's just instant regretful puppy / don't hurt me!

I don't think I see it, sorry @Frostbiter.  Do you  maybe have a reference photo that looks more similar to what you're describing?

 

No, that was a guess. Lol I see the tassle now.

Yep, reflecting that it's earned from the movie-themed Summer Blockbuster event.

I suspect it is a joke referencing the song "Home on the Range".  Discouraging Word is used in the lyrics, though why they didn't use an antelope, I'll never know.

Oh boy, that makes TOTAL sense, and I grew up on a farm!  I mean, lots of times a bull will just snort to discourage interlopers, but even that didn’t make much sense to me.  Had never thought about Home on the Range.

 

Love it!

The game is simple!  (And not actually a game, honestly.  I just don't know what this thing is supposed to be a picture of.)

Choose an image from the https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Enhancement_Sets and ask the community:  "What the 'ell is That Thing!?"

 

I'll go first.

What the 'ell is That Thing!?

 

Reminds me of an old kids game my grandmother had at her house.  You had these circular palm sized flexible lid looking things and you’d place them over these little flat rounded beads (like small river pebbles) and push the bead to the edge with a rocking motion, kind of like ‘burping’ a Tupperware lid.  The bead would shoot out from under the lid when it got to the edge of it at a very high speed.  Sudden Acceleration if you will.

 

It was like Tiddlywinks, but either a knockoff or an older version. (See picture)

 

But admit the speedometer jumping makes more sense.

 

EDIT: I had to go find the name/version of the game my grandmother had.

It's a fireball with a dark right hand grasping the top (you can only see the thumb and pointer finger), to go with the name "Dominating Grasp".

Here's one:

Is it a keystone? A fortress of some kind?  A big concrete block?  I can get most of these, but this one confuses me.

one of those road barracades... steadfast... get it?
