    And a lot more if you are driving through those parts of the Southwest where there's lots of area surrounded by military areas, bombing ranges, and so on.

     

    You are not kidding.  My father actually had that happen.  Shortly after the sign, a fully outfitted Apache helicopter came over the horizon...

  2. Previous GM had one who might qualify.  Vapor was Invisible, Desolid, SPD 12, and had a 4d6 KA Affects Solid World.

     

    It was a Crowning Moment of Awesome for my PC when she Stunned, Knocked Out,  and *Killed* that SOB in one hit.  (Vapor skimped on defenses...)

    A cop is driving around in his police cruiser one afternoon, when he sees a car up ahead that's going significantly slower than the rest of the traffic. Other drivers are swerving around them, honking their horns, and swearing.

    Realizing that this was a terrible hazard for everyone involved, he gets behind the slow driver, and flips on his lights.

    The driver immediately pulls over, and the cop walks up to the window, and discovers that the driver is a little white-haired old woman. He looks further into the car and sees three more small elderly female passengers.

    He asks the usual, “Do you know why I pulled you over?”

    “No, sir. I don't.”

    “Mam, you were only going 25 miles an hour.”

    “But I thought that was the speed limit!” , she points to a large black and white road sign not far away.

    The officer just chuckles a bit, shakes his head, and says, “Mam…that's not a speed limit sign, you are on ROUTE 25.” They both have a good laugh. He takes one last look around the car before he leaves, and notices the other old ladies are all wide eyed and terrified. “Mam, are they okay?”

    “Oh, they'll be fine. We just got off of route 125!”

     

    Last time I heard that joke, the little old ladies were all nuns.

    The problem is, what do you call people from the United States? Staters? Unies? USAs (pronounced "oosas")? "Yankees" has derogatory implications. There really isn't a decent-sounding alternative to "Americans."

     

    On another forum USAians was typed, but I'm not sure how it could be pronounced.   Spanish has the word Estadiounidense, but it is both difficult to say and hear.

    In the first, the researcher referred to the long-ago people as the "Nacirema."  It took me a while to realize that he was talking about modern US society. 

     

    Hey, Nacirema!  *dances*

    I never finish anything. I have a black belt in Partial Arts.

    That would be a white belt. Get it right. ;) tkdguy would agree. 

     

    No, white is beginner, black is master.  He's probably in the blue or green range somewhere in the middle.

     

  6. LEGO is a wonderful source of everything.

     

    As for my toys:  Four images of Jada Toys' Nano Metalfigs.  Diecast solid metal figs from multiple lines: GI Joe, TMNT, DC, Marvel (pictured), Minecraft, Harry Potter, Walking Dead, WWE, Nightmare Before Christmas, Transformers, and possibly others I don't recall.  About 5 CM high & wide, slightly too large to use as minis.  But it doesn't stop me from trying, and there's a aftermarket of cusomized figs.

    And in the US, they retail for about $1 a fig, though they're sold in 18 or 20 packs now.

    I also feel that Frank Castle should do quips like Spider-Man; after all, he is The Punisher. 

     

    I've got that guy in my file to finish building one of these days...
