Legatus Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Re: Concubine Seeks New Position I am not into comics anymore, but what I wanted to say is that I own the issues of Cable from the years 1995 to 1998.

Does that qualify as a run?[/quote'] I knew what you meant. But Cable? I mean what exactly is his superpower? Nebulous background with the ability to support arms too big for his torso. Capable of standing anywhere from 6' to 8' tall on ankle that are thinner than spaghetti. Ability to use guns of such an absurd size that the rules of physics must be turned off just to fire. Cool glowy eye. Cable is the reason comics started to suck in the 90's. Deadpool is the reason they stayed suck. Identity Crisis is why the still suck.

Barbara vdB Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 Re: Concubine Seeks New Position Pitiful. ONly 4 issues of cable. I used to get that ,x-man, x-men, new my=utants ,excalibur and x-force. (and any peculiar spin offs) So far, from what I heard (while I was awake on Saturday- really bad week) Miss 3 is getting a catsuit which boosts her presense ( and certain physical attributes) and a whip. The Spectre asked Felicity if she could show Miss 3 any DVD's with empowered, strong women in them. After a breif questioning, she called in Shyaree ,her younger sister. Asked the Spectre if he would be volunteer(victim). He agreed. Felicity told Shyaree to demonstrate on the Spectre what she could teach Miss 3. He then found out that she has martial arts as he started to duck and dodge fast. the comment was "What the..." Miss 3 has already done her bit to solve the endless gangwars around the area. She exercies on the roof and anyone who wantsw to watch has to be friends with one the gangs on either side of our building. There has been an amazing drop in the gang fights.

If I'm not mistaken, the Anunga Runga is a later work derivative of the Kama Sutra. So it may be the same list. This one includes Water Spewing Games.

So we'd know what we're talking about.[/quote'] If you mean the Water Spewing Games, I can't help you – not only is there not illustration, neither Yashodhara's 12th century commentary nor the more modern Shastri offer any explanation. As opposed to the Art of Cooking and Preparation of Drinks, which get plenty of explanation (perhaps the intended readers were assumed to be more familiar with water spewing than with cooked food and prepared drinks....?) Or Conjuring, explained briefly as “To hypnotize and make people see armies or heavenly dwellings.” If you mean 3, there is a picture on the badge. DrHoz created it.

Comic Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Re: Concubine Seeks New Position Water Spewing games. You know, the ones where you get points for distance, duration, height, etc. Of course you know those games. Though you had to live really high in the mountains to play the versions that had points for neatly lettering your name... And a rebab is like a sitar, with a longer neck. Though I believe Lucius is correct with his identification of his source. There's a lot of cross-fertilization between translations and modern versions of each.
