metal clips clipped onto the tops of the ears and linked by elastic [or something stretchy] going over the top of the head to stretch the tops of the ears and over time make the wearer's ears pointy.-- technobadger, Mar 30 2002 sometimes they do have pointy feet... http://www.yeppoon..../moo/images/ELF.gifif they were real that is...

[po, Apr 03 2002, last modified Oct 04 2004] Not a bad idea. I've seen some tribes that do crazy things like this (long necks, huge mouths, etc.).-- NeverDie, Mar 31 2002 Surma tribe does the lip plates and ears, tendency now is for women to somewhat reluctantly do ears, seriously question whether they should do lips - as tradition has dictated. It is a potentially large dowry for elders of bride-to-be for a woman with very large lip plates - the men who are able to wed, and wed frequently - often have as many as 4 wives - One every year until he's tired of having so many wives or running out of cattle - which tends to be the dowry. As one might suspect - it's quite painful to stretch lips. Unsure of Neck Rings (Burma?) - I'll leave that to whomever in this Neck of the woods...-- thumbwax, Mar 31 2002 I'll buy if you include training socks to achieve the curly toes too.-- spartanica, Mar 31 2002 up to a foot longer. sorry no pun intended. makes you wonder what is happening to all the vertebrae?-- po, Mar 31 2002 Since when in hell have elves had pointy toes? [spartanica]-- kaz, Mar 31 2002 I'm so confused, [kaz] is accosting [spartanica] about elves having pointy toes and yet [kaz] only mentions curly toes and now [po] is linking to pointy feet . . . . What's next? I need a drink now.-- bristolz, Mar 31 2002 <bartender>Hands bristolz a stout elf</bartender>-- thumbwax, Mar 31 2002 but those are his shoes, they don't actually have pointy feet.-- kaz, Apr 01 2002 sez who?-- po, Apr 01 2002 <bartender>Hands PeterSealy an Orange Tang</bartender>-- thumbwax, Apr 01 2002 Now elves can fly?!?-- kaz, Apr 02 2002 Am I old enough to order drinks here?-- kaz, Apr 02 2002 if you have pointy feet-- po, Apr 02 2002 Peter has a pointy head [link]. Does that count?-- UnaBubba, Apr 03 2002 No, but his fingers do.-- angel, Apr 03 2002 Can you imagine him making a cake, or biscuits?
Guest: "Hey! This cake is raw !"-- UnaBubba, Apr 03 2002 Oh... I thought this would be clip-on ear extensions, like earrings but for the top of your ears. Easier than glueing.-- herilane, Apr 03 2002 anyone have any luck with this one, my ears are the same shape they were in March.-- po, Jun 23 2002 are you sure you had them on tight enough?-- runforrestrun, Jun 23 2002 well they sure pinched me - how much pain for gain?-- po, Jun 23 2002 it's gotta hurt some....mine have worked so well I'm really looking forward to the next Trekkie convention....-- runforrestrun, Jun 23 2002 where do you buy these? i have been trying to make my ears pointy forever, so far no luck.-- Elven_heart7, Apr 15 2003 i'm imagining a world of pointy ears and bells on toes...<contented sigh>-- igirl, Apr 15 2003 ????
Must be a chick thing.-- FloridaManatee, Apr 16 2003 someone? where do you get these? :-(-- Elven_heart7, Apr 17 2003 sorry [Elv] but they remain half-baked. except mine, that I made myelf. just call me Spock.-- po, Apr 17 2003 The neck thing stretches the vertibrae somewhat but mostly it bends the collarbone. I know sooo many people who would buy that, I toast my croissant to you.-- Lizz612, Apr 17 2003 The only drawback I see is this: reach up and pinch the top of your ear, wear such a clip might go, with your finger nails exactly as hard as you would think this thing would have to grip. Still think anyone would want to wear it all day?-- fogfreak, Apr 19 2003 i'd wear them. i want pointy ears:-) yes, i am a freak. but anyhow, someone told me that they had found something like this on the internet, and i can't find it anywhere. :-( so sad. oh, well. i will continue my search...-- Elven_heart7, Apr 19 2003 Fascinating captain. My ears already come to a slight point at the top, does this mean I may be half-elven? Cool! For this game I'm gonna be a half-elven magic user with a plus one croissant. Speaking of which you could just take the ends off of this one that I'm giving you and paste them to the tops of your ears.-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Apr 19 2003 Pointed ears are not all that they are cracked up to be in my humble opinion.-- The Kat, Apr 19 2003 This is simply one of the best halfbaked inventions on this site.-- bristolz, Jan 15 2006 Definitely a girl thing <crosses fingers>-- moomintroll, Jan 16 2006 My father and brother have oddly pointy ears already, but I seem to have missed that that particular gene..now I can be one of the family!
