Re: A Thread for Random Musings I never imagined that getting rid of an old bunkbed frame would be so difficult.

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.

Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread Got the invitation letter. Scheduled launch date is 6 December 2007. H**l yes we're going.

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.

Re: The Last Word Earthquakes happen Just About Everywhere, though with varying frequency, obviously. I don't know much about the geology east of the Rockies.

Re: Complicate the Person Above Marshal Bazaine first approached Roter Baron when he looked to surrender at Metz. This incident led, in fact, to RB becoming a Baron. Before then, he was just Der Roter Feldwebel.

Re: The Last Word I have two of the three. I do tend to wake up at first light. This time of year, that's about 0530. Come November, though, that's more like 7:30....

Re: Poetry/clue help

Re: NGD Scenes from a Hat I find your lack of BODY points after that last attack disturbing. NT: Particularly onerous casting of real-world situations into HERO game terms.

Re: The Last Word I rarely oversleep; I tend to have the opposite problem.

Re: "Neat" Pictures See, that's the Prismatic Spray, Megascaled.

Re: Answers & Questions Q: Why is it an insult for a guy to be called "Cupcake"? A: Still, better than "Twinkie".

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Some places sell mantid egg cases. It's the wrong time of year to be putting those out now, I think, but I could be wrong.

Re: The Last Word Hm. It happens so rarely for me that I have no way of knowing of that's true for me, too.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings Hm. I would not have thought that pop() would take 135 times as long to execute as append().

Re: The cranky thread Only some people suck. And many of those you have to ask nicely.

Re: Brainstorming a mystical superhero mansion I also suspect there's a lot of stuff you can use in AlHazred's old Creepy Hotel thread.

Re: Brainstorming a mystical superhero mansion Me, I like the scenes in the early part of the old Yellow Submarine Beatles movie where odd things scamper between doors in the hallway when none of the named characters are present. Maybe you can hear them if you stay in your room ...

Re: Answers & Questions

Re: The Last Word My wanting to "finish" or continue a dream is usually a sign, perhaps even a cause, of my waking up.

Re: The Last Word Nope, we're not paying for the neutering; the shelter covers that. We just have to keep them while they recover. I don't think we'll be keeping momcat. I hope she finds a place. She seems to be an excellent cat with people, but might not get along with other cats in the same house. Siegfried & Felix have squatting rights at our place. It'd be ideal if her original owners were to track her down and get her back, but that seems pretty unlikely.

Re: Help me make a Casino based Super Villain group Don't forget Bouncer, a brick of the most classic sort.

Re: The Last Word Changing subject entirely, the kittens we're fostering go in next Monday to get fixed. That happens at 2 pounds body weight. One of them was below that, and only barely. They'll come home to recover for a week or two, and then they go back to the shelter. AFAICT, none of them have clicked well enough with any of us to stay. Momcat is a pretty grey and a sweetie and hasn't a mean bone in her body where people are concerned, but she shows signs of being unable to get along with the older boys, the prior residents.

Re: Answers & Questions Q: What do you make of it, sir? Station 3W is oddly round, and it looks split down the middle.... A: You, sir, remain most tiresomely predictable.
