  1. Re: Pulp Hero Resources I had to look it up ... I didn't know that bit of slang.
  2. Re: The Last Word Not sure it mattered much to USPS. Postcards are pretty minimal.
  3. Re: Strange Hero Concepts: Discuss Your Own! Fulminus was a warped villain (He didn't think he was evil, but he'd been, shall we say, exposed to way too many explosions) who could make inanimate objects explode (bought as an RKA, limited to nonliving matter, with an explosive effect equal to the Body of the object but happened only if the object was reduced to zero Body by the RKA). His main shtick was robbery, where he'd do stuff like make cops' guns explode in their hands, and explode the tires of the vehicles chasing after him. Once he put a toilet seat around a hostage's neck....
  4. Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... On a character sheet of an orangutan, given human intelligence and some other stuff: Language: Orang-utan 1 Notes: Yes, I know you get 4 points in your native language for free. But in orang-utan you're doing real well to get basic conversation at all....
  5. Re: Genre-crossover nightmares Josie and the Pussycats on a Hot Tin Roof EDIT: BTW, this and the post above it are adapted from plays by Tennessee Tuxedo Williams.
  6. Re: Genre-crossover nightmares Sesame Streetcar Named Desire
  7. Re: The Last Word Heh. I once did a campaign of humorous post-card sending to a friend who needed the (im)moral support, one a day, six days a week. Went on for three or four months, IIRC. I had an excellent local source for silly post-cards, though.
  8. Re: Longest Running Thread EVER 200 runs in about 32 hours. And, it seems, no crashes. The latter is more significant.
  9. Re: Your Superhero Identity for Today Yes. I took the test and my Nemesis came out to be Eric the Black. Multiple pseudonyms, obviously. But never fear: my Antimatter Plunger will carry the day for us!
  10. Re: Musings on Random Musings "Who is Mr. Gruberman, and why did he suddenly run screaming out of the building?"
  11. Re: The Last Word Sounds like your building is under-engineered. Or, perhaps, was built before certain building codes were changed.
  12. Re: The Last Word At times, yes.
  13. Re: The cranky thread One of the walls of my office is shared with a file-storage room. They have moved the files out and are now removing the file lockers. This causes large crashes at irregular intervals.
  14. Re: The Last Word Heh. At one workplace, where there was only one set of restrooms for the entire floor, we dubbed the green-carpeted aisle between our workgroup's area and those restrooms "The Green Mile".
  15. Re: South American Supervillains You need a female brick from Cuba named Mojito ... sweet, cool, and packs a hell of a punch.
  16. Re: The Last Word The only time I used a blink tag in a page was after some lazy student claimed they couldn't find something at the top of my web page. I consider that direct provocation. And since I no longer have edit access to that page, it's doomed to stay there until the page itself is removed.
  17. Re: The Last Word That's not quite correct. Properly, he put the cat at risk of death when the cat went into the box. Once the cat's in there, and before the box is reopened, it is improper to think of the cat as either simply alive or simply dead; it's a mixture of both states, with the relative proportions of the two states changing with time. The act of opening the box forces the state of the cat to have been resolved out of the in-the-box state and into one of the alive/dead conditions at the moment of the box opening.
  18. Re: The Last Word Even he didn't deal with well. He framed the equation for dealing with it. Solving it is nontrivial in most cases.
  19. Re: Complicate the Person Above The calendar formerly had 13 months until Death Tribble captured one and held it for ransom. Turned out people cared less than he expected, so no one ponied up the money. By the time DT gave up and released his hostage, no one cared, and never again has there been a calendar published with "Foovember" in it.
  20. Re: A Thread for Random Musings I never imagined that getting rid of an old bunkbed frame would be so difficult.
  21. Re: The Last Word Well ... "waiting for the Big One" (Earthquake) is a lot like waiting for Godot. Humans don't deal well with catastrophic eventualities that may or may not happen in their lifetime.
  22. Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread Got the invitation letter. Scheduled launch date is 6 December 2007. H**l yes we're going.
  23. Re: The Last Word Everyone is Seattle is waiting for the Big One, which happens every 500 years or so. The last one was about 400 years ago, and the geological features associated with them means we can expect it to be stronger than anything in recorded history.
