Re: Cryptic Studios Account email. Yeah, if you hover over the links, they take you to someplace other than startrek-online.com or champions-online.com. Definitely a phishing scam.

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore That reminds me. I had a slice of "Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Pie" when I was in Huntsville, AL a few years ago. It was a pie shell with a peanut butter filling, ribbons of chocolate, and then the whole thing was studded with Reeses Minis. Summabish was about 9" tall, way more than a normal human being could eat. It was good, for about 4 bites. You could've fed a table of 6 with that thing.

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore OK, is it just me or is the bacon thing just about played out? I mean, I like bacon just fine. A couple of slices on a burger, a couple of slices with my eggs in the morning, sure. But this weird fetishizing of it is just starting to get annoying. Bacon-flavored chewing gum? Bacon-flavored mayonaise? Bacon-flavored ice cream, for god's sake? Maybe it's just me, but there's no food in the world that's that good. People hoovering up 5 pounds of bacon in one sitting? Brother, if they were doing that with any other food, we wouldn't be making heroes out of them. If they were eating five pounds of candy, or five pounds of bread, we'd be checking them into a psycho-ward. You know why? Because that s**t is crazy. And then there's the whole, "Would you rather eat bacon, or save a child's life?" "Why, eat bacon of course!" meme that's been going around. Eat bacon, or cure cancer? Eat bacon, or make love with a beautiful woman? I'm sorry, bacon is good, but it's just not that good. Maybe this is heresy (because it seems like bacon has developed some sort of weird cult following), but yeah. I think this one has played itself out for me. Here endeth the rant.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... From our 40k Rogue Trader game... "Have you seen what passes for fashion in the Imperium of Man?" "Yeah. What we need to do is find a planet out there in the expanse where they do nothing but manufacture shoulder pads with skull motifs on them. We'll buy them in bulk, wholesale, and import them back to the Imperium. It'll practically be a license to print money!"

Re: I have a dream. (and MAN was it wierd!) I found a secret room in my house. I'm not sure how I found it, but there it was, behind the wall on one side of the house. It was a large room, completely unfinished -- bare plywood floor, 2x6 beams in the walls, no insulation or drywall or anything. Even the electricity was unfinished, just wires in the walls leading to where outlets and light sockets would be. I was very excited. A whole new room! I began to make lists in my head as to how I would finish it. I would need to put in insulation, finish the electricity, put up drywall. I could then begin to paint, lay carpet, put in lights, finish the whole room! I could hardly wait to begin moving all my things in here -- I was going to make it into my own private office. I could bring my comics, my bookshelves, my desk, even my painting supplies! I found a staircase in the back of the room, going up. It led to the attic, which was also an unfinished piece. Smaller than the first secret room, but still another challenge! There was a fireman's pole in the middle of the room that led down, into darkness. I assumed it dropped down into the basement, but I wasn't sure. I wanted to explore it, but I had other things to do first. The main problem I had to solve was, hornets had gotten inside the attic and had built nests along the walls and ceiling. Before I could do anything, I had to get rid of them. I went downstairs to get some hornet spray. I also armored myself up -- I put on a hat, a heavy jacket, goggles, and gloves. I buttoned myself up tight so that if any of the hornets came after me, they'd have a hard time finding exposed flesh to sting. I approached the main hornet's nest. It was huge, bigger than a basketball. I could see inside it, the tiny white larvae wriggling around. I didn't get too close; luckily, I had one of those pressurized hornet sprays that has a range of 20+ feet. I started to hose the nest down. The hornets went ballistic and began flying after me! But luckily, the poison did its work. They were dropping out of the air before they could reach me. I continued to hose the nest down well after its occupants were all dead, and continued spraying around at the smaller surrounding nests before those insects got wise and attacked. My first task was complete. The hornets were dead. Now I had to figure out how they had gotten inside and seal it up.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Our group just started a new Rogue Trader game. The Cast: Morgan D'Stayn -- The Rogue Trader; thirteenth child of the D'Stayn Dynasty; intended to be married off as a political alliance between Houses but an altercation occurred during the wedding that decimated the fleets of both Houses; suddenly finds herself the new scion of the D'Stayn Dynasty, a position she has not been groomed for and is largely unprepared to handle on her own. Lady Janessa -- Seneschal; born of a noble family that has served the D'Stayn Dynasty for generations; sought hedonistic and ignoble pleasures to the shame of her family but gaining her valuable experience and contacts with the criminal underworld; encountered (and dallied) with a traveling Eldar, spurring her fascination with the enigmatic xenos. Vesperevasaraphangeline (AKA Vesper) -- Void-Master; born and raised aboard the Tyrant Sun, the last great starship in the D'Stayn fleet; secretly the product of a casual dalliance by Morgan's father among the ratings crew; culled from the lower ranks to serve on the bridge crew, where her natural talent was realized; fanatically loyal to her ship and those aboard. Tryft NaLapitik -- Arch-Militant; raised and served as an officer aboard the Imperial battlefleets; distinguished himself as a hunter of dangerous xenos and eventually found service as a personal guard to one of Morgan's older brothers; a calamity resulted in the loss of his ship and nearly all on board; tracked down Morgan to pledge loyalty, possibly to make up for a perceived failure. Eurydice Magdalena -- Arch-Militant; formerly of the Sisters of Battle; drummed out of their ranks for reasons yet unrevealed; instrumental in fighting off an invading horde of Orks that were in fact raiders sent to assassinate a younger Morgan; called on by Morgan to serve the Dynasty following the recent disaster. Pulveria Nocte -- Astropath Transcendent; born of a line of hidden but powerful psykers within the Koronus Expanse; attempted to avoid Imperial attention but was captured by the Black Ships anyway; aided Eurydice in the defense against the Ork raiders; found and forcibly brought along when Morgan summoned Eurydice to service. The quotes: Not the best battle cry for the Helmsman… Vesper: Praise the Emperor and Pop the Clutch! Indicating her disdain for people who didn’t grow up on a starship… Vesper: You know what planets are? They’re just very slow moving spaceships that only go around in circles. Regarding her family starship, the Tyrant Sun… Morgan: Only sixty million more payments and this sucker is mine! Regarding Port Wander… Tryft: It’s Little America. Following their failure to negotiate the hiring of a junker team… Vesper: Would it have killed you to show some leg? Eurydice: It may have killed someone. Discussing Eurydice’s cold and aloof demeanor… Vesper: Have you even heard a smile? Eurydice: I have read about them…

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore I like pizza crust too much to stuff it full of cheese or meat or whatever. If you need to dress up the crust like that in order to want to eat it, it's obviously not a very good crust to begin with. The crust is the most important part of the pizza, IMHO. If you can't get that part right, I don't care how good your cheese and toppings are, the pizza is probably pretty bad. (I always win the war when my buddies and I go out for pizza. Their plates are littered with dead soldiers, while my battlefield is clear!)
