Amiga-tan

WOW. Great bio. Hope to see more for the other vintage-tans!

Indeed, a truly magnificient description of the adorable Amiga-tan! ^__^

Priceless, C-Chan! Brilliant work, even Binteji Renmei themselves would be delighted with that. ^_^

C-Chan · August 18, 2006, 08:15:18 AM

Thank you NewYinzer and Pitkin. ^__^

lol, I'm sure the members would be delighted too -- after all, if the Binteji Renmei were led by an explosive character like (say) OS/2-tan, I'd hope that they would've kicked her out years ago. ^^'

BTW, no one thinks 182cm is a little excessive? It's a very uncommon height for Anime women (probably only saw characters that tall in Vandread and ROD the TV). But considering the scope and flavor of all Vintage-tans I've proposed to make, I wanted to make sure that Amiga-tan had something that really made her "stand out" (pun intended... ^^: )

Plus, it's also a little artistic license.... Ã,Â¬vÃ,Â¬

ZOMG! Attack of the 5'11" women! They're gonna eat us!

C-Chan · August 18, 2006, 09:53:02 AM

lol, I wish! ^__^
BTW,.... it's actually closer to 6'.... ^__^;

NewYinzer · August 18, 2006, 10:20:41 AM

Still, that's pretty tall for a woman.

QuoteStill, that's pretty tall for a woman.

Yep, still is, but thankfully not as much as before. The idea that any woman about 5'6" is "tall" is increasingly taking the form of a cultural "wake" that may stubbornly refuse to accept reality. ^__^

So I hear, even in Japan it's no longer a rarity for girls to break past the 170 mark.
Take, for example, the lovely Megumi Kawamura who clocks in at a shocking (even to us Westerners) 193cm:

I just find it odd because I am so short.

C-Chan · August 18, 2006, 11:51:05 AM

Fufufu.... ^.^
Can't be any shorter than a pig, trust me... ^__^

And who's to say we aren't her type...? ^_~

Who? Amiga-tan or Megumi Kawamura? Hehe...

............. O_o

*heart breaks*

*crawls into ball in the corner*

*mopes*

*sniff sniff* I think Kawamura-sama's already taken.... -___-

*perks up*

So of course, Amiga-tan! ^v^
Why,... she can be my amiga any day!

*does mock dog howl [though coming from a pig, it sounds more like a dying aardvark*

After all, only Amiga makes it possible!
(Slogan from the Amiga ad campaign. Some say it was half-hearted. Some say that if Commodore had to sell KFC, they would call it "warm dead bird")

*twitch twitch*

*nausea* Certainly makes me feel like I'm looking at a warm dead bird.... X___x

Umpf.... oX_Xo

*spew*

Uggggggh.... oX_Xo

Commdore was losing money, was poorly managed (Jack Tramiel had left. He was the CEO who led the company to glory), and the computer market was cruel.

I still have two Amigas, I never could find it in my heart to sell'em.

And love the Amiga-tan. ;010
