"It's a causual dinner and we're relatively safe, so I'm only carrying the 9mm, my backup 9mm, and just four knives."

From tonight's Pulp Hero game:
 
The Countess, insane German noblewoman, meets with Queen Nefira, reincarnated Egyptian Queen. She has a choice between betraying the heroes and joining Nefira, or attacking her. Prodded on by the millions of dollars of jewels she's wearing, she attacks.
 
Player 1 (aside): Well, the lustre of those jewels was too strong for the Countess to resist.
Player 2 (aside): She decided to choose the lustre of two evils.

I was running my Zombie Apocalypse game, with several long-time friends.
 
The three PC's and one NPC are on the top of a sporting goods store that they and their survivor group has been holed up in for a couple of days, as they prep to leave L.A.
 
The three PC's are Jordan, a gorgeous LAPD "kiddie cop" (think of Eliza Dushku in the LAPD uniform. Now youre on track), Eric, a recently-graduated high-school athletic star who was about to turn pro before the world ended (looks like Tom Welling), and Gabriel, a six foot ten EMT ambulance driver (who looks like Abraham Benrubi). The NPC with them is most often referred to as "Conspiracy Man", and goes only by the name of Ed. Despite a few comments about the "alien overlords" and the "flouride mind-control policy", they nevertheless gave Ed a rifle, as they had just raided a pawn shop, and his oddly useful skill-set was instrumental in their success. (They suspect he is ex military, and has seen too much).
 
The group has recently discovered that there are a few more survivors trapped on the fourht floor of a building about a block away from their own hideout. The people trapped in the office building have smashed out a window and hung a sign out of it written on a drape that says "Help Us".
 
As the characters are deciding what to do next, the sounds of gunfire erupt from a rooftop a few buildings away. The characters look around, and realize that it is coming from four gang-banger types who are taking shots at the "Help Us" sign, and the people behind it. (These are people with the same mentality as those who were shooting at police, ambulances, and fire fighters during the L.A.riots).
 
Jordan, the cop, is the first to spot the perps. She aims her rifle at them. The others follow suit. I tell them that one is shooting, another has a rifle also, and there are two others with pistols besides. They look like they are in their early twenties, of mixed ethnicity, and are wearing loose clothes with alot of sports team endorsements. Jordan makes a Perception roll and recognizes them as wearing local gang colors.
 
Ed: Firing order?
 
Jordan: Im taking down the shooter.
 
Ed: Ill take the other one who has a rifle.
 
Eric and Gabriel's Players both indicate they are also going to fire. I ask them to pick targets. And then...
 
Gabriel's Player: Ill shoot whichever one has the most underwear showing.
 
 
 
 
After we all finally stopped laughing, Garbiel then proceeded to randomly hit the unlucky s.o.b. in Location 13. For near-max damag,e and maximum Stun.
 
I guess Gabriel -really- didnt want to see that guys underwear!
 
(Edit: If this post accidentally offends anyone out there who habitually "busts a sag"... TOUGH! Pull your gorram pants up!)

My Haunted Stereo might just top that.
 
GM (me): Okay, Phase 12.
Stereo: MORTAL KOMBAT!!!
Everyone Else: *stare at stereo*

A d20 reference? For shame. You should be expressing it in Hero power terms. Something like Image, but I'm not sure how you would write it up since it it is created by words sent over the Internet.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
From a recent game. The characters came across a mime, complete with the face paint look, costume and everything. The kicker is that it's actually a curse, but one that you can get rid of by passing it along by touching someone else. Needless to say, it would be a really bad thing to have happen to a spellcaster.
 
The dwarf in the party, a surly warrior type got the touch. One comment stuck with me: "Dude, you got mimed."
 
The player who was now playing a dwarf mime, who's a really good sport about such things, said nothing but promptly flashed the other player a rude hand gesture.

From a brief-lived martial arts campaign. One of the main characters was just utterly slagged by his semi-girlfriend (daughter of the Master the PCs are studying with) after making fun of her attempt at cooking something (and rolling an 18 on the cooking skill).
 
One of the other PCs made this comment as they gazed at the still smoking remains:
 
"Man, that looked painful. Like an orange juice enema."
 
Everyone winced at that particular imagery.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
This is from an old Call of Cthulhu game set in the 30s.
 
One of the players owned a plane, but using it during a certain adventure was not allowed. So the GM, as the players were walking across the airfield, says, "You see twelve disreputable-looking men with shotguns standing near the plane."
 
That became a tagline whenever something the players were about to do was not allowed, "You see twelve disreputable-looking men with shotguns."

The Greek informed me, pre-game that her character had discovered "porn" and so I should announce something about spyware on the computer. The Greek, if you aren't aware had been sleeping since the Trojan war.
 
Me: "And finally, it was recently discovered that the base computer had 19 spyware applications running and over 1000 cookies. They were all porn related."
 
Voltage: "It wasn't me!"
 
MJ: "What? I would think we had the top of the line spyware program on our computer."
 
Me: "You do, however, in all instances, these were the ones that were not in the program's definitions."
 
MJ: "I'll update the program and get them all removed. The last thing we need is a Trojan on our computer ruining the entire system."

Here are a few quotes from a couple of Champions games I've run. Canadian Sheild was the "serious" game, and MegaCity was a "Mystery Men" style low-point comedy series of games.
 
CANADIAN SHIELD
 
"I feel silly, I'm a career soldier, I've been to Sereyevo. I've been to Somalia...I've been to New York..."
-Staff Sgt. Berton, on being unsettled by seeing Jean Codere transform into a werewolf.
 
"I'm going to pull a hissy fit and I need to concentrate."
-Siren
 
WILDCARD: You don't get a day off of Canadian Shield because you have a runny nose
SIREN: Yes, but today you have two runny noses.
- on Wildcard's latest transformation, with two heads, four arms and four legs.
 
"I don't talk to men covered in snot."
-Tempo to Wildcard, trapped in a liquid polymer entangle resembling mucous.
 
BLUEFIRE: Why is Tempo the only one listening to me?
SIREN: She's new; She doesn't know any better.
 
"There's somebody home, but he keeps hanging up."
-Siren, on having a hard time mind-controlling a villain with strong mental defenses.
 
"Dodge? Why I have a Dodge right here!"
-Wildcard, throwing another car.
 
"Arrow should have one of those FRONT TOWARDS ENEMY signs on his head."
-Wildcard, after Arrow's second successful Move Through maneuvre.
 
"Isn't that just like a man; Just when you want to talk to them, they're out cold" -Siren, on her frustration at being unable to mind-control an unconscious foe.
 
"It's like having a baby, only you're the baby."
-Jean (Loup Garou) Codere, on how it feels to change into a werewolf.
 
"Hey, let's not forget our communications protocol people! This is an official business channel! Yellow alert is reserved for second & third base. Red alert is for home!"
-Martin (Wildcard) Gideon, after Arrow signalled a Red Alert, thinking his cousin Jake was in trouble, when he was, in fact, making out with Stephanie Wright.
 
"I can't believe it. His eyes didn't even drop when he was shaking my hand. I don't think that's ever happened before."
-Siren, on the Prime Minister's uncanny ability to not stare at her breasts.
 
"It's not good guys and bad guys, it's bad guys and WORSE guys!"
-Siren
 
MEGACITY MEGAMEN
 
"Oh, well, being defeated by a superhero team is good press too!"
-Evil Guy
 
Ta ta! Going on patrol. There may not be crime, but I might get lucky.
-Pink Panther
 
You're so open minded you've got a door at the back of your head
-Red Rocket
 
Your contacts squeaked that?
-The Hero With No Name, referring to the Red Rocket's subway mice informants
 
METRO MAN: She talks to mice.
RED ROCKET: Yeah, well, he thinks Jennifer Love Hewitt actually likes him.
METRO MAN: But I SAVED her!
RED ROCKET: And yet, the Restraining Order.
 
Look, I'm the pidgeon of justice!
-Metro Man, meaning 'paragon'
 
THE HERO WITH NO NAME: She's going to save my ass again.
RED ROCKET: That's what I do.
 
RED ROCKET: You're not the brains of this operation, are you?
THE HERO WITH NO NAME: Who is?
 
Lets conch this guy on the head
-Red Rocket
 
Your clue train has pulled out of the station
- Night Watchman
 
Do you remember the good old days when we fought crime?
-Red Rocket
 
RED ROCKET: Well, we saved the day again
METRO MAN: No, we were present when the day was saved.
