Oh that's just freaking ADORIBLE.

but the humming is essential.
*whistles innocently*
Yeah, I've got to wonder if Jy was avoiding, or merely testing out some neat equipment....
:) I like the outfit
It's Splinter Cell, baby. Sexah.
Anywho, bets here that it's the "Mission: Impossible" theme.
awkwaaaaaaaaaaaaaard~
Jyrras also needs to be reminded that black is not an ideal color to wear while attempting to sneak around in a brightly lit area. Especially if the walls or ceiling isn't painted as such. Wonder what kind of spy theme he was humming?
Well, if you had a suction cup set, wouldn't you use it?
Also, I highly doubt that Jyrras would kick Lorenda out, if for no other reason than the fact that it would chew him up inside to think that he threw someone out over a relationship.
Gotta love the Gauntlet reference. (no, actually, I think I'm obligated to)

Nah. Peter Gunn.
Play more Metal Gear Solid and Splinter Cell.

Pretty admirable that it probably doesn't have anything to do with getting chewed UP.
Poor Jyrras just doesn't wanna touch it and I really can't blame him. I think Lorenda'd be more charitable towards him if she new about DanDan. :mowmeep
Plus, he's avoiding her. If he really meant to throw her out, he would have done it by now if he really wanted to avoid her.
Quote from: Roureem Egas on March 11, 2007, 11:06:14 PMWonder what kind of spy theme he was humming?
James Bond theme. Possibly Peter Gunn theme.
The "Get Smart" theme... or "A-team" theme.
There was something about the way he walked... much more vertical than usual!
And I noticed he always wore sneakers. For sneaking! :3
Why does this smell like an Oceans Eleven theme here....Jyyras as that finky asian guy

Oh, again with the squeaky shoes... [spot the quote]
Sam: "Where are you off to? Sneaking off are we?"
Gollum: "Sneaking? Sneaking! Fat hobbit is always so polite. Sméagol shows them secret ways that nobody else could find and they say sneak. Sneak? Very nice friend. Oh yes, my precious, very nice, very..."
Sam: "All right! All right! You just startled me, that's all. What are you doing?"
Gollum: "Sneaking."
Trixy Jyrras...
Yep, I second the James Bond theme. But that may just be the fact that I am surprisingly looking forward to the release of Casino Royale on DVD this week ...
Either that or he was just making a humming sound with each move he made, akin to "Looney Tunes" soundtracks. I actually find I do that sometimes.
If it was James Bond, he'd be wearing a tux. I say it'd be the Mission Impossible theme.
I really need a spy outfit like that...
You're all wrong. He's humming "Walking on Sunshine".
Heheheh. Reminds me of when I used to play FPS games with my brothers... I did a lot of sneaking around, and always fell in to the desire to sing "Secret Agent Man." Every time I did, one of 'em would snipe me good. Every time without fail.
I can't imagine him humming anything other than the theme from spyhard (by Wierd Al, no less)

i too share jy's inability to sneak.
however for me its not noise, despite being a 240 pound abomination i can be incredibly quiet....but has anyone noised that when your close to a person they radiate a palpable sense of presence? apperantly some people have a wider radius then others, and mine is somewhere around ten feet. how the heck can you sneak up on someone when they get the willies as soon as your in the same room?
QuoteI am the shadow on the moon at night, filling your dreams to the brim with fright
I can sneak up behind someone and have my head next to theirs before they notice. I'm incredibly quiet and ninja-like. It's amazingly fun to scare people like that. >:3

While those things do occur, most people in my life (whoa, I actually have one?!?!)
do ignore me so I can still slide up right behind them unnoticed. :mwaha
That's why I say what I say.
The only thing I can think of that would be worse than humming would be Jy accidentally relaxing his tail and the tuft falls down and tickles Lorenda's nose. :laugh :giggle
Question: Would Lorenda have noticed even if Jy didn't hum?
Dump-doo Doodleoo doodoo Doodoo
Dump-doo Doodleoo doodoo Doodoo
Doooooooo dooooooo
Doooooooo Doo-doo
Peter Gunn theme!
With the outfit I think the Mission Impossible 2 directed by John Woo. I bet the humming is a song from Metallica from the soundtrack of MI:2.
But in any case he's avoiding Lorenda because he has feelings to pursue especially that cute butted Abel, and he's so afraid to tell Lorenda that.
Bah! I am sure Jyrras has his own theme, hummed by him exclusively. :ipod

What's odd is that I keep accidentally sneaking up on people. I don't -try- to sneak, I just happen to not be noticeable somehow...
Admittedly, being only 136lb, I have it slightly easier than you, there, Brunhidden... :-]
I bet he was humming Cuban Pete :B
why do people have to be humming anything in particular when they are?
Stop that infernal humming! (http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/cgi-bin/gg101.cgi?date=20050404)
I think he's just avoiding Lorenda because the thing with Dan worked out but was really freaking draining. He's hoping to regroup a little. And I don't think Lorenda will blame him exactly once she finds this out.
But for now yeah it does kinda look like he's being a colossal coward.

A lot of apparent Extra sensory perception is unconsciousness perception though normal senses.
e.g. you don't really recognise it as a sound or a change in light pattern etc. but on some level you register it.
Of course this doesn't explain how, when you think about a friend you haven't heard from in ages and the phone rings, with them on the other end.
I read a convincing argument that suggested that so called physics could have a gift for predicting (in the way all humans do to a limited extend). This might have been covered in the forums before
The example was a physic is asked to locate a body, they say it will be found in a ditch, what they've actually done is remember TV programs/ books that have been shown recently when bodies where found in ditches, because its possible the killer is influenced in the same way the predication has a change of becoming 'true'.
I'm sure the squeky poping rubber sound din't hide him all that well either.
He's probably humming to the act 1 boss BGM for Sonic and Knuckles...which to me sounds somewhat like something from James Bond.
Edit> also...rest well, mrs. Williams.
While I have no particular affinity for dudes in skin-tight outfits (no offense to anyone who does), I think Ms. Williams did a particularly fine job with the art in that area. The coloring job on and around the wrinkles in his stealth suit is very convincing, and it stood out to me for some reason.

I'm sure they have those suction cups can be silent I think the Navy Seals have them I think? Who knows the effect in the strip that Jy-Jy was silent until he started to hum.
Wwwait-- Jyrras in a... SKIN TIGHT ultra-shibby jet-black hi-tech stealth suit?
...
*pant*
I am so narcissistic for Jyrras.

People can NOT sneak up on me. The moment a person is about six feet away, I know they are there, no matter how lost in thought I am. Whatever I sense, I pop out of my thoughs and 'Hmm? I lost my train of thought..there must be someone behind me' :P

Dr Coondog to the rescue!
See, the principle of a suction cup is that you need to get a vacuum inside a space which includes the surface you want to stick to. Now the most straight forward way to do this is to stick a rubber cup down onto the surface, forcing the air out, then pull it back out, allowing the air to "schlup" in and out of the cup.
But of course, this is not the only way to do this!
By putting a sizeable, compressable chamber on the one side of your cup, you can extract the air through some much quieter method such as a pump, or even a mechanical lever which allows you to "twist" the air out. Running the process backwards unsticks the cup, with barely a sound emitted!
And Navy Seals probably wouldn't bother with them in most scenarios I can imagine. A moist surface might be better for sticking to, but a surface buffeted by water like the side of a ship could really readily cause your cups to take in water, rendering them useless until pumped clear.
:mowninja

Thank's Dr. Coondog that explains alot now I know and knowing is half the battle :giggle.
Anywho I'm very good at sneaking up on people, when I work at the high school and I tell them to go to class the stragglers are there hanging around in the halls.
I sneak up on them and stand there for a couple of minutes till they finally turn around and I get a freaked out look about them cool isn't it.
Thanks! I'm not a real doctor, but I am an actual CoonDog.
