Re: A Thread for Random Musings I don't think I've ever been this hungry...or is it pissed off?

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Bad RPMiller! Bad!

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER That's what happens if you see me naked.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings Farmer Brown has a problem. His cows like to type.

Re: Genre-crossover nightmares Good hygiene in general, I imagine. Yeah, I too was impressed; it's not your average third-grade puppet show.

Re: Genre-crossover nightmares Actually I went and did some serious googling after I posted that. It seems BB's right hand either doesn't move or is attached to his head with a wire (I'll be looking for this next time I'm stuck watching Sesame Street). The muppeteer has a monitor in there so he sees what the audience would see. It all sounds very... difficult.

Re: Musings on Random Musings "Day off"? What's that?

Re: Genre-crossover nightmares You laugh, but I sit and watch and I try to figure out how they're controlling the muppets. It looks like most muppets take at least two people to control--two hands and a mouth. Some are obviously radio-controlled, like Elmo on a trike. And lots of the new shows are shot against a bluescreen to make it easier to hide the operators. But I still can't figure out how Big Bird's beak moves, or how the guy in the suit can see past all the feathers.

Re: Traveller-era guns Because flying brass is cool.

Re: Musings on Random Musings And you know this how?

Re: A Thread for Random Musings But not as much as the people I'm currently on a con call with. I can't believe I'm participating in a discussion over where the powerpoint titles will go.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings You know, Barney doesn't bother me, but BJ needs some serious slapping around.

Re: Musings on Random Musings Yeah, cold weather really sucks. Last week I took my kid to the beach and we were only in the water for less than half an hour before he started to shiver. It didn't help that a cloud would occasionally cover up the sun.

Re: FH Gripes And yet only Hero is capable of handling such a wide range of power levels so smoothly. 40 STR would be appropriate for a high-magic or mythic scale game.

Re: Genre-crossover nightmares Is that really a crossover? I watch a lot of Sesame Street nowadays, and it seems to me that they already radiate madness.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER But-- but-- think of the dome lights!

Re: Exoplanet detection news

Re: Musings on Random Musings That reminds me of the time I showed up for my databases final and no one was there. I spent half an hour running around trying to find out what room they'd moved the final to before I finally realized I'd shown up an hour early. Haaaaaa. (slaps forehead)

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER No no, you're supposed to replace the fuse with a live .22 caliber bullet.

Re: Creature: Khysothemis Nice!

Re: Exoplanet detection news That could be anything. It could be that K stars emit too weakly and so the oversized planets are able to hoover up more volatiles during accretion. Or tidal forces could be to blame. Or it could be some kind of statistical or spectroscopic error in the measurements that just exaggerates the perceived Doppler effect on K stars.

Re: The cranky thread I'm tired of being blamed for things I obviously wasn't responsible for. It's as though she has this reflexive need to instantly scapegoat the nearest person when something goes wrong.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Did you get lucky in the back of the U-Haul while the bed was there? No, don't answer that.
