Re: The Last Word Oh, they have them, but the display isn't any more flagrant than on campus late in the first warm, sunny week in spring.

Re: The Last Word Heh. Wasn't talking about moves not being moves; I meant moves not being travel.

Re: The Last Word Depends on how far you've moved. Just across town (or across state) doesn't really make it in terms of travel.

Re: Answers & Questions Q: The Mantis Queen wants to know if humans are like her kind, and the sex gets better when you bite off your partner's head. You know, the one with the eyes, mouth, nose, AND brains. A: We won't be looking to pick up women on THIS planet.

Re: The Last Word For whatever reason, I think because I moved so much when I was young, travel isn't all that high on my list. Part of it is that post-2001 I find air travel almost intolerable, but that's only part of it.

Re: The Last Word Heh. Someday I'll get back to Europe. Not soon, though. Our first big trip as a family in a long time will be to Florida in December.

Re: Paralysis Ray: Would you allow this? I might allow the power as written, but the character who had it would find himself hounded by an army of automatons against which the power would be worthless.

Re: The Last Word I see the merits in that idea, but that'd require more bookshelf space than I have at the moment.

Re: Answers & Questions Q: So when the quartermasters delivered the rations to the Orc army, the Orcs thought they were part of the shipment and ate them?!? A: Spider guts doesn't seem like a syrup flavor that'd catch on very big.

Re: NGD Scenes from a Hat oops, sorry... NT: Things that really ought not be sold at an espresso shop.

Re: The Last Word Certainly true. They weren't fixed last week because one of the six was still under two pounds, which is the shelter's limit for the procedure. This week they're just booked up.

Re: The Last Word The shelter's vet is booked up for the week, so the kittens get fixed next Monday.

Re: The Last Word Not sure it mattered much to USPS. Postcards are pretty minimal.

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....

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....
