John T Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Re: Musings on Random Musings Thanks! PS - I do need to rotate avatars sometime...Oh, I wasn't trying to imply that you NEEDED to. Just my habit to size things that way for folks here when I find an image that makes me think "Hmmm, 'X' would probably get a kick outta this!" Glad you enjoyed it.

Mightybec Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Re: Musings on Random Musings Mightybec long ago crossed the line and became a troll; it's continued garbage like this, though, that has finally made me have to stand up and say so. I'm calling a spade a spade. Mightybec is a troll, and as we all know, the only way to get rid of a troll is to ignore them. So I'd suggest everyone boycott him, by not replying to or responding to any of hist posts. You know, you're doing a pretty poor job of ignoring me.

Dr. Anomaly Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Re: Musings on Random Musings I agree' date=' but why are you still reading his posts.[/quote'] It was a post to the 'catsuit' thread. Thinking that maybe, just maybe, he'd decided to start behaving like a contributing member of this forum, I decided to take a look at what he'd posted...it was the first post of his I've looked at since I put him on 'Ignore'. What I found was that, once again, he'd decided to **** on everyone else's enjoyment of something in order to get his juvenile kicks with his supposed "humor". He seems to be the only one laughing. And I, for one, have had enough of these sorts of antics, and I'm guessing I'm not the only one who feels this way. That's why, as I said, I'm calling a spade a spade. Mightybec is a troll, and the only way to get rid of a troll is to not respond to them. Anything else just feeds their ego. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having seen Mary Tyler Moore I should really comment, but this is the Internet, where everyone's opinion is equally worthless, so here is mine: I liked Murphy Brown. It was in Miss Congeniality that Mrs Bergen's talent was wasted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazza Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Re: Musings on Random Musings You can tell I've gone way past merely tired or sleepy when I start snickering about the fact that my husband has 69 rep power. I keep fighting the urge to declare, "The power of 69!" I'd ask him (if I was you) to apply the "The power of 69!" to you. See if those 9 points of rep are _really_ worth it.

Bazza Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Re: Musings on Random Musings Monty. Monty was the name of my first real RPG character. He was a cross between (& had) - Superman's super senses - Wolverine's prodigious healing and adamantine skeleton (skeleton had runes etched into it...RuneQuest runes) - a suit of armour like Tony Stark's - a 'pseudo undead' (eg deathless) - a warrior "mage" - a Superhero - a Arnie-like Terminator - and much much more ...and he was a AD&D 2e character. As to the name, I opened a baby names book I own to a random page and that was the name I saw first. I should tell you about him someday...if you are interested.

It was in Miss Congeniality that Mrs Bergen's talent was wasted. In this case I'm referring to MTM simply as the template for "work place as family" comedies. Most sitcoms in the mid-70s through at least the early 90s that take place in the workplace are centered on MTM almost precisely. The show itself wasn't as good as people have given it credit for, but it did have some great points to it and there's reasons (good, as in solid character archetypes, and bad, as in rather caricaturish and churlish approach in those archetypes) it set the template. Seinfeld and Friends then have done a lot to change that template approach, affecting the way many workplace comedies have been enacted, even though those shows both templated really a different sort of formula sitcom, the, well, "friends" (lower case, given Seinfeld also was essential in this formulation) formula.

Sure, you can PM, email, or board-post. Sounds like a typical first superhero character - very super-kickass! Mine was much the same, though he could barely survive outside urban environments.
