I am very proud of my triceps; they took a lot of development during my tenure as a gymnast at school, and have continued to give me great service holding my arms up, as necessary.

Freudian slip

Catholics give great ... um ... are familiar with repressed thoughts and therefore seem more in touch with their physical ... um ... they can take confession and seek forgiveness for all sorts of things, including deviations not mentioned die to the unknown rating of this forum ... AND a Pope of Discordia can make anyone a Saint, instantly (now that's something you can yell out at the appropriate moment!).

There's another Dirty Happy being made, too ...

Fear the black bars!

And no-one has yet claimed infalibility as a Pope of Discodia ... "

I'm asking what the hell that comic is talking about!

We are, sadly, in the minority.

Many thanks. It's eay to say that about pasty white babies. But how does a nice sun-reared fruit-fed plump carribean baby sound? Glazed with a habanero and molasses sauce? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Reminds me of a joke. Man goes into a shoe store to purchase same. Saleman shows lots of shoes, none suitable. Finally he comes to the end of normal stock and has an idea. "Sir, I have some very, very special custom shoes you may be interested in, but they are very expensive, for reasons that will become obvious when I show them to you." "Okay, it can't hurt to look." "Here they are,"says the salesman after returning from the backroom with a pair of thin, light, and perfectly fitting skins. "They are so light, and seem watertight, yet able to breath! That's amazing!" "Yes sir." "What's the deal?" "They cost $10000." "What?!" says the man, aghast. "They are made from the skin of real people's feet, so naturally they are a very precious resource and not easy to get." "I see," said the man, "well, I certainly can't afford them. It's a pity, though, because they are the most unbelievably good shoes I have ever worn ..." "Well, I have another pair in black, for $10 ..." This principle is called hedonistic economics. A similar idea is to take those in a society who have defaulted or forfeited their rights, say murders, and use them for the good of others in society (making the best of a bad person). This would be using their belongings and organs etc for other innocents, as the physical manefestation part of their karmic balancing (or socio-redress). Certainly has the advantage of removing all possibility of recidivism, AND the individuals get that warm feeling of contributing to society -- whether they want to or not -- just before their last organs are taken. :D

No, it is either Wendigo or Wolverine:

Stallone is making Rambo 4 (actually, technically the numbering is First Blood 4: Rambo 3, but nobody seems too worried). He is writing, directing and starring in it at the age of 58.

They mention on that Hulk comic the "first ever Canadian superhero", either meaning Wolverine or Mondolymnshazzam, or whatever his its name is. What was the Canadian Iron Man like?

As long as these wierd and inexplicable insights are actually random and (therefore rolled) and can also backfire ... (I'm sure that nice looking Paladin really is a monster that I have to kill in disguise ... oops, no its not!)

The 617th plane of Hell, Rustopia ... full of Rust D

You don't know Chris Avellone, do you? You don't know who he was referring to that was in danger of developing a triangular-shaped face, do you? "

I suppose it comes down to role-playing versus prior knowledge ... If you place more traps the next time you face an enemy you are cheating (because you are relying on knowledge your PC shouldn't have), you munchkin!

I think she's checking for a pulse <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That is an intersting thermometrical technique ... That's no moon!

Those :ph34r: :ph34r: ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Baley, exuberant fulsome praise registers as effluent ... your DL praise-o-meter is stuck on 11, so it is not easy to tell whether you prefer it for its intrinsic artiness, or the artist who created it ...

Who is the world's first Canadian superhero?

Some archeologists found make-up and moisturiser from Roman Britain, near St Albans, and it contained the same ingredients used today. 1,000,000 s = 1 million seconds = 8 minutes 1,000,000,000 s = 1 billion seconds = 31.6 years, so it makes sense that a thousand billion seconds is about 30,000 years (you must be counting slower than 1 number every second). triskaidekaphobia is fear of the number 13 (interestingly, the dictionary.com definition is an abnormal fear of the number thirteen; which begs the question of what a normal fear is ...) So do sharks. Some seals use their teeth to keep their waterholes trimmed in the depth of winter ... but once their teeth are worn down they starve because they don't keep growing ... All animals take a logarithmic step down in numbers proportional to size. This is one reson why a Blue Whale, the biggest living creature (some trees are bigger) eat krill, one of the smallest living cretures ... they are effectively jumping several steps in the food chain (well, nearly all of them; all that's left is to eat billions of algae), hence they are deriving a higher joule density for the same food ... One third of all animals are insects. Over a half of all insects are beetles. Again, smaller creatures' hearts beat fster due to thermal dynamics; if an elephant's heart beat 100 bpm it would lose too much heat and die. Dentine hardens over years, that's why teeth appear to become more yellow-brown with age; it is just the dentine (the stuff under the enamel) hardening. This is still happening after your twenties. They also milled their flour with sand (it was easier to break the hard germ of the wheat, like stones in a river) ... this caused them all to have serious dental problems in their early twenties. It is more common to be killed by a hippopotamus than run over in Africa. (Well, Imade that up, but it is more common than something everybody things is really common, that I have mometarily forgotten.) A hummingbird's wings don't beat in a synchronised manner, i.e. they aren't both down nor up at the same time. (I guess it gets a bit hard to tell at that speed.) The average temperature in space is almost absolute zero. (It's t same in a crater out of the sun's gaze on the moon, because there is no atmosphere. It is considerably warmer in the sun's rays, though, several hundred degrees centigrade. Space suits need to be able to deal with both temperatures simulatneously.) A man kept a chicken for a couple of years without a head. It had been beheaded but he managed to keep it alive by feeding it through its neck. (He used to show it in freak shows to make money.) I lucid dream all the time.

:D That's one of the risks of the game " We could also run a thread here, where every Friday night (say) we conduct a turn or two on the boards ...

I'm waiting for the ending-content mod from Aurora's team before I play again. I like your avatar, Catt.

Is he higher or lower on the marshmellow pecking order than Mr Staypuft?

Many thanks!

I don't even want to contemplate the thought of letting my mind wander to a place where an idea of what is going on here might cross my mind ...
