Youre off by a little bit.

Whats "play piercing" mean?

Cool, thanks. It was neat seeing the specs too. I woder what debilitation kicks in when it becomes "bloodied".

^Link?

No it isnt. Linderman would have noticed it. He had it preserved in a friggin hermetically sealed case before they stole it. He was a collector and would have read every signle symbol on it. But hey, its a show.

But it only seems to kick in if she sees it on TV. The tomato rose, the wrestling move. Normal memory seems ordinary (she did poorly on the managers exam).

Drum brakes are quite poor when the drum becomes saturated, a thin layer of water gets between the pad and the drum. Of course, thats a cruising bike so she will probably never be in that position.

And for that you should have been thankful. Sand said "I cant stand thieves" to which tpr responded "take away the chair". You know, if you dont have a chair you will have to stand. So thats how Sand can "stand" thieves, by taking their chairs. Man, it was painful just reliving that.

Best. Movie. Ever.

Wouldnt Sawyer's changes (described above) be enough to "technically" make it a new property? Or at least not D&D.

Why would you get a server in the US and not in Sweden?

Have fun and be safe.

Cool pic, that may be the first time Ive seen a $500 bill. I take it from the serial number thats the first one printed but the paragraph in the upper left is GOLD. Get it? Gold. I kill me.

Gfted1's foolproof technique for dog attacks*: (Note: You must not mind hurting the dog) If it looks like your about to get mauled by a dog the best thing to do, imo, is to be the one deciding where you get bitten. With that in mind, when the dog attacks; 1) Stick out your forearm (they generally bite whatever is closest) and let the dog bite down. 2) Lift your arm which will expose the dog windpipe. 3) Punch the windpipe vigorously. *Ive never actually had to do this but it seems like it should work.

@Calax: So your father has already had a lung removed and in the same area another tumor grew in?

Thats a real nice thought and generous of you Morgoth.

Lol, I know. And believe me, I can suspend disbelief like someone that can suspend disbelief really good but still, those were glaring.

^Whew, how exciting! That damn game shaved 2 years off my life.

That episode was smothered in lame sauce. So we're to believe Kensai never once in his life sustained an injury and noticed it heal prior to Hiro showing up? Linderman, a collector of all things heroic, who poured studiously over the sword while it was in his collection, never once noticed "Ando open" engraved into the hilt of the most famous samurai sword in Japans history? Come on.

^ Yikes! Get well soon.

The Mouse That Roared

You can ditch everyone at the end of Act III. Seriously, you can swap them out but you will never be alone.

They would still have governments. Hehe, I meant "are funded by the Federal government". Pretty much. There are a few examples of resources but no population to speak of (Alaska) and of a high population but no resources (New York) but rare is the combination or resources and population in one place. The "South" could do it with agriculture? Nope, that didnt even work 142 years ago. The midwest with its manufacturing? Possibly. The giant void of nothingness strecthing E-W between Illinois and California? Good luck with that.

Some, yes, but most large scale projects (roads, schools, etc...) are funded by the government. Couple that with small population states (low tax income) that have zero natural resources and they would become third world dumps in under a decade.

Like you say, California could probably survive as well as Texas (oil) but everone else would fold up like a beach chair as soon as Federal funding was pulled.
