....And then the Doctor said “No pain killers for you.”🤒

In the game, the player used to refer to them as “butt blasters”.

Maybe the cat’s intentions were benign. But when something the relative size of a fanged brontosaurus who considers you a food group starts to chase YOU, let’s see how trusting you are about his good nature.😀

You’re making that sound like those are bad things. Yummmmmmmmy! Have you ever tried that with “Red-eye gravy”? They make that by adding coffee! Double Yummmmmmmmy!

I wonder if the squirrels would call it “play”?

Man, this test is easy. I hate shrimp. And don’t bother giving me the whole Bubba Gump list. “I do not like green eggs and shrimp-now go, or I’ll beat you like I’m an F’ing pimp.” I also can’t handle dairy anymore so I can’t have pizza.

In the ST: the Animated Series Cyrano Jones did some genetic manipulation on the Tribbles. Now when you feed them they just grow larger and larger. Up to around human size.

That sounds interesting, what is this from?

According to legend the Spear of Destiny was the weapon used by the Centurion Casca Longinus to end the suffering of the man called Christ as he hung on the cross. Pursued down thru the ages it has always been associated with shadowy groups who hoped to harness its power for their own ends. Now it is believed to be coming to New York as part of a shipment of ancient relics from the estate of a collector of strange antiques and curiosities. Who knows what forces can be released from this object by someone unscrupulous enough to use it? SPEAR OF DESTINY (RELIGIOUS FOLKLORE)

I already had the decision forced on me. Some time ago bacon started giving me stomach trouble so I had to stop eating it.

Does Prince Tachyon & Baby come along with that?

“OK, here’s the deal, if you don’t climb the screen and pi$$ us off and we won’t try to get out and murder you every time the back door opens....’cause eventually WE WILL.”

Mine’s pretty solidly in the good guy camp. BTW, for the story in my head this is just before Action Comics #1 so there’s no costume yet. Clark has just come to New York to interview for a reporters job at the Times. There isn’t one open right now, but he gets a recommendation to see Perry White at the Daily Planet. He also looks like the early Fleischer cartoon version

Your location of “Earth” is not exactly helpful in this situation. What part of the Earth do you live on?.....and Gods help me if you say “The outside” or some such then I’m gonna get a rolled up newspaper and a squirt gun and we’re gonna have it out. 🥷

Oh no, I know The Mighty Atom quite well. As a matter of fact in my very first Champions game one of the players was a Japanamation (That’s how long ago this was) enthusiast and played Atom as his character. Over the years of play I learned a lot about the little ‘bot. I just meant that an out of control version reminded me of the scene in the first Robocop movie when the ED gets demonstrated to the board. “PUT THE GUN DOWN” “I put it down, it’s on the floor.” “PUT THE GUN DOWN OR I WILL FIRE!” “I put it down, I put it down...Somebody stop it!” “YOU’VE BEEN WARNED, CITIZEN!” “BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP” “O.K., that’s a glitch.”

Puss in Boots on his day off.

Let’s wait a little while before we call that match.

Like a very short version of the ED robot in Robocop.

What else is there to say....In this corner...In the red trunks....From the planet Krypton by way of Kansas...Standing in at six foot four inches and weighing in at 220 pounds...Here he is...The Man of Steel...The Man of Tomorrow....Fighting for Truth, Justice and the American way.... SUPERMAN/CLARK KENT (EVERYTHING & EVERYWHERE) Thanks to Hermit for playing the game like a gentleman and a scholar.

Sorry, I overslept and read the clock wrong. I saw the Spock picture and thought it was a pick. D’oh!

It’s important to have both a treadmill and an exercise bike....That gives you a place to hang both clean AND dirty clothes. btw....I AM, I AM, THE TUBER KING!!!! (sorry, the classical station I’m listening to right now is on a Gilbert & Sullivan run right now.)

Lots of TK with appropriate limitations.

“Sorry ‘bout that Chief.” The research I read had a list of characters that were influenced by FM and I was amused by the idea that they were all aliases of the Original Dr. Evil.

Whether hiding behind his many aliases such as Hanoi Xan and Ra’s al Guhl or as himself, the insidious and inscrutable Dr. Fu Manchu’s intrigues wrap themselves around the world like the coils of some great python, ready to choke the life out of any who oppose him. His will and word enforced by his loyal and deadly Dacoits, this immortal master of evil’s Elixir of Life has kept the ravages of time at bay giving the “good Doctor” the opportunity to become a genius in the fields of science and mysticism. What plans he has in store now must be uncovered and stopped by the alliance of heroes who are currently forming against him. Dr. Fu Manchu (Literature)

The chess master was Laurence Harvey. He starred in the Manchurian Candidate and co-starred in The Alamo as Col. Travis. A fine actor, he seemed to be typecast as tighta$$ed unlikeable characters. It’s now 9:00 am and I just finished watching The Eternals. It dropped on Disney+ early this morning. I’ll discuss it later today in the MCU thread if anybody cares.
