Re: A Thread for Random Musings What is it about the internet, besides the obvious lack of physical presence, that makes certain people think that normal rules of polite society not only do not apply but should not apply? Since when is it OK to be insufferably rude for no other reason than you can?

Re: I Can't Believe He Played That! My group had gotten way too serious at one point, and so I designed a character I thought was silly. The short-version of the background was thus: Planet Spork: where the massive size difference between the sexes allows women to rule with impugnity. Men get menial jobs like janitors. Sporkians are all albinos, with zero hair and zero facial features - no eyes, nose, or mouth. Their skin acts as a unified sensory organ and they "talk" by creating vibrations in an internal organ where the mouth would normally be (a bad hand-waive, I admit, but I'm shooting for "silly".) So. You have your typical alien ship crash landing on Earth orign. everybody dies except the ship's janitor, who holes up in an abandoned warehouse because the odd greeting of the locals - pointing and screaming, occasionally running - is tough to handle in large quantities. He finds an old working television and turns it on. He mistakes it for a "socialization machine", kind of like a "hello, welcome to Earth, here's some examples on how to act that will help you" box. The only problem is, the one channel that comes in is running a John Wayne western marathon. He goes back to the crashed ship after watching the entire marathon. He adapts his uniform into a Hollywood cowboy outfit. He adapts his high-tech multi-function mop device into a Winchester that fires four types of energy ammo (EB, RKA, flash, entangle). He then goes out to meet the public. So you have this stark-white albino with zero hair or facial features in a cowboy outfit with an energy gun and acting just like John Wayne. After the expected mishaps, the team took him on as legal guardians. His heroic name was Space Cowboy. He ended up being one of the most fun characters I've ever role-played, and he's still a favorite of the group. We had a Terminator clone enter the game around the same time. They became best of friends. Who knew.

Re: I Can't Believe He Played That! Yeah, but I turned him down, so the character never actually got into play.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Stop, or I'll take the "boobs" gag to a whole new level.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings I like boobs.

Re: The Last Word Let me get my body condom.

Re: The Last Word Agreed.

Re: The Last Word It will, Mr. Wonka.

Re: The Last Word Sulk. Guilty.

Re: The Last Word That's because you lack imagination.

Re: The Last Word I can.

Re: The Last Word You're welcome.

Re: The Last Word okay

Re: The Last Word Think so?

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER boobs I mean, wait, what? Um, never mind.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings I've been taking Levitra for three weeks now, and I still can't throw a football through a tire.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER The latter. Or should I say, the latte. Heh.

Re: The Last Word Okay

Re: The Last Word Not Lord Farquart? Hmph. Nope.

Re: The Last Word excuse me

Re: What Fantasy/Sci-Fi book have you just finished? Please rate it... I just finished Childhood's End, by Arthur C. Clarke. I give it an eight out of ten. It's a solid plot with good twists and likeable characters. It's also short enough to be enjoyed over a weekend.

Re: The cranky thread I wonder what kind of society cockroaches would develop. An heirarchy based on classes of dung, perhaps?
