  2. I'm not sure if this guy is supposed to be a mutant, or wearing a skull mask. But if you're looking for something to unsettle your Star HERO players. . . . . .Here ya go.
  3. Well--that's why you call the Goosebusters. Obviously.
  4. Who Ya Gonna Call? GOOSEBUSTERS! I Ain't Afraid Of No Goose!
  5. That reminds me of an Andy Capp comic from many years ago. A coal truck overturned in the street and all the housewives in the neighborhood were rushing out scoop up some free coal. I imagine the same thing would have happened if these dice had been spilled in front of a crowd of gamers--only more frenzied. "YAA-HOO! "I'm cuckoo for dice! Cuckoo for dice! Cuckoo for dice! Cuckoo for dice! Cuckoo for dice! Cuckoo for dice! Cuckoo for dice! Cuckoo for dice!" Yeah--something like that.
  6. Not at all. The Reagans docu-series on Showtime illustrates a good number of parallels between Reagan and Trump. Both ran on platforms appealing to right-wing voters. Both ran on platforms vowing to "Make America Great Again"--Reagan had that slogan long before Trump took it for his own. Both of them had epidemics of new diseases with which to deal--AIDS for Reagan, COVID-19 for Trump. Both chose to deal with those diseases by basically ignoring them. The biggest difference between the Reagans and the Trumps is, perhaps, in the First Ladies. Nancy Reagan wielded a tremendous measure of influence with Ronald, especially after he was shot by John Hinckley. Melania Trump, to my knowledge, wields little to no influence at all over Trump; she's basically just there to look pretty, and she doesn't even do that well. The Reagans should be available online or on your On Demand service--check it out if you haven't already.
  7. Guess who did the voiceover for this trailer? Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back - Trailer - YouTube
  8. I imagine that like all elitists, they think they will be the ones in charge, and they will get to do whatever they want and injure/kill whomever they want without consequence. That would seem to be why they are so fond of their guns.

  11. I'm inclined to go with the alien I created for my hero team The Defeateers--Zargor, the Man from Mars. ". . .a creature with glistening green skin, two translucent blue orbs for eyes, a thin, lipless mouth, and two small holes where ears would have been on a human on either side of its hairless head. He wore a silver, form-fitting flight suit with a black metallic belt; slung over his shoulder was his BRZAP! Gun, which could fire blasts of BRZAP! Energy at any setting he needed---and as he stood beside his hovering saucer, it was obvious to even the most casual observer that this being would have to stand on highest tiptoe to see over the top of a yardstick." His flying saucer can go from zero to escape velocity in 3.7 seconds, but has no weapons or energy shields--it's not a warship. He came to Earth to hunt down crooks for the fun of it--although when the blaster bolts start flying and the cars get tossed around like ping pong balls, he has to wonder what the bazatta he was thinking.
  12. “They could say whatever they wanted so long as there was no imminent threat of harm,”
  13. "Such magnificent treasure! We slay this beast, and we shall be set for life! Our names will be forever enshrined in legend! Ready Arms, my fellows! Prepare for Victory!" You guys got my back on this, right?
  14. New Batman Animated Series For HBO Max
  15. Then perhaps you should run for office yourself.
  16. "I still see it today in my mind, 100 years later."
  17. Boy Scouts Announce Support Of Black Lives Matter
  18. I got my friend an elephant for his room. When he said "Thank You," I said, "Don't mention it."
  19. It was my understanding that Wookiees didn't believe in medals. Howling in triumph was enough. (I imagine the howling translated into "Uh-Huh--That's Right--We Bad--You Know It--We Bad--")
  20. George Lucas Is 77 Today.  Thank You Always, Sir
