That's the three of us, from 2000/2001.

That's a dragon in my hair, and I'm leaking blue sparklies.
Darkside's hair looked too much like Mama's.
I'm the one with the green hair.
Two leather-jacketed weirdoes, and then me in my cloak.

I looked up le-matya on google, as it sounded familiar but I couldn't place it. Your LJ came up as the 6th search result.

It'll do that.

In case Google was less than informative, it's a venomous feline of the planet Vulcan. It was used as an example of something dangerous that should be noticed and dealt with by the Vulcan philosopher Surak (akin to the elephant in the living room of Earth fame). Also, a le-matya's poison killed Commander Spock's childhood pet sehlat.

*Nods* I found enough entries to get the main idea, if not the precise details. I love the metphor - I would much rather have an elephant in the room than a le-matya; it would be far more dangerous to ignore a venomous carnivore.

A pissy venomous carnivore, at that.

EEP! Yes, MUCH worse.
