  1. Maybe I’m being dense (not a new experience) but I don’t get it.
  2. Is that like the factory where they put together action figures from the MCU having a big banner that says “Avengers Assembled”?
  3. I’ve always liked this joke, but looking at it now I’m wondering if it might not be funny anymore. When I was younger there was a joke about two nuns and a biker gang that ended with the line “And the older one says “Well we’re going back that way aren’t we?” Around 25 years ago I decided that it wasn’t funny until I changed it to two priests. I don’t know about that one either nowadays. What do you folks think?
  4. I was watching a YouTube of a police officer being a complete professional to a nit-wit receiving a traffic ticket and it reminded me of this.... A guy comes up to a stop sign and instead of stopping rolls right thru. A cop saw this and pulled him over. The cop starts writing the ticket and the guy loudly says “Hey, I slowed down, that should be good enough.” The cop drops the ticket book, grabs the guy, pulling him through the window, takes out his nightstick and starts smacking him in the side of the head repeatedly saying....”Do you want me to slow down or do you want me to STOP?!?”
  5. Or you can hold his head deep in the toilet by his stupid man-bun until the bubbles stop. Then you wipe your hands off on his dumba$$ porkpie hat on your way out. Too much?
  6. Awwwwwww. And when that leopard grew up it ate the rest of the herd. It’s kind of a “Frog & Scorpion” thing.
  7. For a second, I thought he was eating the leopard.
  8. Good luck partner, stretching characters are a lot of fun, they’re classics of the genre going back to the Golden Age with Plastic Man. Unfortunately, they can get very expensive to do, at least right off the bat, because I want them to be able to do everything at once. They’re such.....well “flexible” characters who can do so many different things that I never had the patience to build one from scratch as a PC. I wait and go to town with them as NPC’s and villains. Let us know how it goes for you.
  9. It depends on the crime. If you touch a kid, the cop should kick you in the guts until you crap yourself and then arrest you for getting his shoes dirty.
  10. Entitled whining bastids are everywhere. The “I want what I want, and if I complain loud enough I’ll get it“ “I want to see your manager” types must be smacked down whenever they crawl out from under their rocks. It’s not just one generation or another. The old ones teach their young how to be obnoxious and letting them get away with it doesn’t placate them, it just makes them stronger.
  11. In the comics he “dated” a dolphin. Maybe he’s just looking for some tail.
  12. No crime was committed until he showed it to a woman who took it away from him and beat the living hell out of him with it. There was a case recently where a man approached people said he had the virus and threatened to cough on them unless paid. He was arrested for extortion. Since that held up in a court of law then this could be considered assault on an officer the same way poking one in the chest with one’s finger is.
  13. NO SPOILERS Me too, I liked the part at the end where things got tied together. There was a nice balance overall between stuff I expected being a long time fan of the comics and MCU changes that caught me by surprise. I highly recommend the series and I’m looking forward to the Loki series coming out in May.
  14. I agree with you that the snake motif was very Cobra-esque, but Hydra itself was created by Marvel for the comic Nick Fury: Agent of SHIELD that was as part of the spy craze of the ‘60’s due to the Bond films. I also hate young whippersnappers for all the above mentioned reasons.👍
  15. So you’re saying that what’s popular changes over time, and that different generations have the nerve to decide for themselves what they like!!!!! HOW DARE THEY!!!!! Don’t they know that what we old farts liked and are used to has to remain the standard! They should all just shut up, turn their crappy music down, pull their pants up and stay off our lawns! Frankly and with all respect to the game designers and comic creators who came before. Viper was stolen from Hydra, which was stolen from the James Bond movies. So as far as that goes it’s just all come full circle. The ancient Romans said over two thousand years ago “There is nothing new under the sun.” And it’s still true.
  16. For reasons lost to history (meaning “I don’t know why”) in the days before it was legal, 4:20 pm was the special time for marijuana smokers to sneak off from school or work and enjoy. The term “4:20” became code soon after. The picture blends the date April 20th written in American style as 4/20 with singer Willie Nelson’s known love of marijuana smoking for the joke. It’s one of those “you had to be there” kind of things. I hope that explains it. 😜
  17. The game I was in that used Viper had the organization set up very loosely for security and very reflective of the personal style of the local leader and reliant on their own ability to raise capital. This meant the GM could use a lot of different types of Viper groups based on the type of episode. Some were giant Mech’s tearing into bank vaults types while others were more about using designer drugs to fund their crooked politicians running for city government types. Then there were some who were at war with each other turning the streets into battlegrounds. Built in flexibility, meant Viper always stayed dangerous and new.
  18. A great movie, a fantastic soundtrack and Ellen Aim & the Attackers is one of the best movie band names of all time. I was in one of the early test audiences for it. I couldn’t get a 7 pm ticket for Search for Spock on its first day and a guy announced that for anyone who bought tickets for the next show could come in and see this test movie for free. On the little cards they gave us after I gave the movie a B+ and wrote that the soundtrack was an A++ and that the bad guy (a young Williem Defoe) should play the Joker somewhere.
  19. The more powerful the spell the easier it is to undo. Every magical deal has an escape clause. ie; Discover my name (Rumplestilskin)or “bring me a cow white as milk, hair like gold and a cloak red as blood.” (Into the Woods) No wishing for love or death. (Disney’s Aladdin) Elf/Fairy magic can be destroyed by iron. Fairy tale magic can do almost anything but by its very nature it has strict rules and limitations.
  20. The Seven Dwarves movie Disney never made! Coming this Summer!
  21. There’s a notion out there that says that the government prints $2 bills and mints coins with the various states on the backs so that people will hold on to them as collectibles and good luck pieces rather than spending them. Thus lowering the amount of money in circulation and lowering the deficit. That might be a little too slick a plan for our government and not really cost efficient, but every little bit helps.
  22. I just found a channel on PlutoTV that runs Mission: Impossible episodes 24 hours a day. My mission if I choose to accept it is to watch them all. I ACCEPT!!!!!
