. . . How's your score? How geeky are you?
 
A good while ago, there was a test for nerdity and geekiness. I think I scored 24%.

Re: Musings on Random Musings
 
A young man was lost wandering in a forest, when he came upon a small house. He knocked on the door and was greeted by an ancient Chinese man with a long, grey beard. "I'm lost," said the man. "Can you put me up for the night?"
"Certainly," the Chinese man said, "but on one condition. If you so much as lay a finger on my daughter, I will inflict upon you the three worst Chinese tortures known to man."
 
"Ok," said the man, thinking that the daughter must be pretty old as well, and entered the house.
 
Before dinner, the daughter came down the stairs. She was young,beautiful, and had a fantastic figure. She was obviously attracted to the young man since she couldn't keep her eyes off him during the meal. Remembering the old man's warning, he ignored her and went up to bed alone. But during he night, he could bear it no longer, and sneaked into her room for a night of passion. He was careful to keep everything quiet so the old man wouldn't hear. Near dawn he crept back to his room, exhausted, but happy.
 
He woke to feel a pressure on his chest. Opening his eyes he saw a large rock on his chest with a note on it that read, "Chinese Torture 1: Large rock on chest." "Well, that's pretty crappy," he thought. "If that's the best the old man can do then I don't have much to worry about." He picked the boulder up, walked over to the window and threw the boulder out. As he did so he noticed another note on it that read: "Chinese Torture 2: Rock tied to left testicle." In a panic he glanced down and saw the rope that was already getting close to the end. Figuring that a few broken bones was better than castration, he jumped out of the window after the boulder. As he plummeted downward he saw a large sign on the ground that read, "Chinese Torture 3: Right testicle tied to bedpost."

Light echoes from SN 1987A.
 
The first frame in the sequence is a raw star field. Each successive frame is a difference (I think from the preceding frame, but it might be from a "standard" frame with the light echoes removed).

You remember Ryoga Hibiki? Ever wondered what happened to him after they cancelled Ranma 1/2? I'm not supposed to tell (I'm not even supposed to know!), but as a hint: Enforcer84 has no sense of direction at all . . .

Josefin . . . Nice name for a nice girl . . .
 
I wonder if she's single? I think she is.
 
So get the thumb out already! Stop spending all the money at the bookstore just to talk to her!

I have enjoyed watching King Kong all my life. It became one of my all-time favorites when, as a teenager, I dozed in front of my b&w TV and woke to the angelic vision of Fay Wray.
 
Tonight I'm catching a midnight show of the new three-hour version, even though I must get my kids off to school and myself off to work just a few hours after the credits roll. And all I can think about is how much Naomi Watts reminds me of Fay Wray.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings
 
My latest musing:
 
Dan and Ben should impose a rotating random NGD ban.
 
Nothing permanent, nor predictable. Someone rolls a handful of d6 and consults a big chart.
 


"Everyone whose username starts with the letter N is banned from the NGD for 2d6 days!"
 
nexus, nolgroth and Nyrath all go "WTF?!"
 
Ben and Dan cackle to themselves with glee!
 
At the end of that period, they roll again.
 


"Everyone with more than 10,000 rep and less than 1,000 posts are banned from the NGD for 3d6 days or until Labor Day, whichever comes first!"
 
...and so on.
 
It would give everyone a healthy sense of paranoia, while brightening up Dan and Ben's day once in a while. Plus, think of what fun they could have coming up with the list...
 


"Any username which conatins three or more different vowels..."
"Mightybec can post nothing disturbing for two weeks, else..."
"Rage must insert a smiley in every post for one week, or else all NZ posters..."
 
Etc.
 
Now, I can see how some posters might get caught by several different possible random acts and be forced to spend a month or more out of the warm, moist embrace of the NGD, but, remember, absence makes the heart grow fonder. That poster will have to tough it out in the gaming parts of the forum, while we who remain pine for their return...
 


...and wonder who will be next to receive the stigma of the haphazard ban hammer!

Re: A Thread for Random Musings
 
Last night I did a massive straightening up and organizing of OddHat's comic and game books and books and I feel great ! Can't stop looking at how organized and neat everything is ! This morning I dejunked some old jewelry that has been hidden in OddHat's Mom's closet for ten years, kept just the small amount I liked, and now have found all three of my Red Cross gallon pins. It's like losing 100 pounds in just 24 hours ! Woo Hooo !
