To Stitch or Not?

TheBigRaisin · #1 01-04-2003, 08:01 AM

Ok, heres a question.......

If Abe is now free of the glukkons (Since AO), why then does he still have the stitched lips?

Wouldnt it be the first thing you removed, or would you keep them to prove what you came from (kinda symbolic gesture)

Any other opinions?

That's what it is basically. He keeps them to remind him of his past.

There are plenty of places where you could have found the information without starting this thread. There are a lot of other threads that talk about this.

Hey Mods, how about making the search button bright red or something so that it stands out more?

I never really understood that myself... why their lips are stitched up. Is it so they cant talk?

An Abe without his stitches? NO WAY!!! That would suk.

Hi Khanz

I DO use the search facility.....Have done on quite a few occassions, AND I have read through as many of the threads as I could.........

don't worry... the subject wasn't stupid (not such as "what creature do you like the most")

Sorry to get on your case earlier Big Raisin, but it was because there have been topics about this already. I applaud the fact that you did at least look before posting.

Abe's lips were stitched up because supposedly he was an annoyingly talkative child. I think it was to keep him from chanting but that is not completely official, the first is. He keeps them on as a badge of his past tribulations, to remember what he is fighting for. Just like you said.

Yeah, you can't really expect someone to do that.
Think if someone popping into a music forum and they never let him make threads becuas there already were.

No, whait, no i'm being mean. Sorry kanz. You did say sorry.

When I make examples like that I don't mean any harm, it's more like a spontanius "What if" thing. It happens to me all the time.
Not that this case is that serious at all... this post is rather silly.

Ooo.... I LOVE typing on my keyboard. What a sensation. My fingers land exectly were I want them...usualy. So, therefor I am not blaming my bad spelling on my clumfy thingers.

All of ya'll guys says Abe should keep his stitches but won't it hurt to talk with your lips kep down with stitches and sure its a symbol of his past but he also has his scars of the paramite and scrab then the big one across his chest.

They stitched his lips to stop him from talking... But the stitches don't do a thing. He can still talk and chant and possess slig security. That's weird... they stitched his lips for nothing...

Maybe you could come up with a 'non-silly' post?
all ive seen you do so far is moan about how badly you were treated back when by 'others', and slate people for the hell of it.
(does feel good though doesnt it?!)
if your post is an example of what YOU have to say, maybe you shouldnt bother?

(its only MY opinion of course, others may disagree)

Stitches expand over time. Or maybe he just got a wrench and painfully expaned them himself.

please forget that théory

Well maybe this will happen. in the last movie of the last game of the quintology I bet Abe will remove his stitches and put his hand to the moon as the rest of the Mudokin nation celebrates their freedom. I know it doesn't sound Oddworld enough!

***Xavier*** · #17 01-14-2003, 03:15 PM

there is never a final victory... so he will keep them...

I feel compasionate with Abe: my lips are stiched too!
(Don't go nuts and think I did it too imitate my hero)
Here's the reason: last week I went icehockey-ing (my first time).
It was incredibly fun and in the last minute a gave a buddy of mine a boddy-check. We fell both on the ice and guess what happened:

HIS SKATE HIT ME IN THE FACE !!!

Result: a cut of 1,5 cm in my lip, and now 3 stiches
At 15.00h I will have theme removed (don't need them to remind me about the accident.)

Maybe I'l post some pics about it, if you want.

***Xavier*** · #19 01-17-2003, 01:07 PM

yeah, post some pics. could be... uh... intresting

Oddipus · #20 01-20-2003, 03:10 PM

I'l have the pic next week, so a little patience
