  1. For smelting down for useable metals or as currency? IMHO I’d vote yes on one and no on two.

    My Profession

    I used to have business cards that said I was a “Specializing Consultant”. Occasionally someone would ask me why, and I’d tell them “Because “Salvage Consultant” was already taken,” Don’t worry, nobody else got it either. Some jokes are just for me.
  3. If we had a President who truly believed in and spoke the way Aaron Sorkin writes I’d follow him thru the gates of Hell.
  4. The funny thing is that that’s not too far from the way Stephen Fry actually speaks. I say this with all due respect for a man whose intellect make me look like a not too well potty-trained beagle.
  5. I’m listening to the song again and I don’t see it as a list of potential powers, but as a look into the heart of someone driven to do things that he knows may be wrong but doing them is the only way he knows to keep what’s left of his sanity. This is the song of an anti-hero or vigilante type character like The Punisher, The Crow or even a Dr.Destroyer This is a man (Or woman) who knows that he’s constantly walking a tightrope. Constantly keeping hold of his emotions lest they overwhelm him and destroy him. It’s only by feeling nothing and doing what he feels he must to put some kind of balance or justice back into the world even though the acts themselves may be abhorrent. This is someone that the Heroes must stop but may feel pity for at the same time. This can make him a more difficult adversary than any set of powers could.
  6. I never thought I would say this but.....That might just be too much chocolate.
  7. Every time I look in on this thread I’m reminded of the times when for work I would have to drive from one location to another. The road between points A & B was a long country lane where at the top of the hill on one side was a fancy-schmancy steakhouse with a large sign with a smiling cow wearing a chef’s hat. On the other side at the bottom of the rolling hills was a dairy farm. Very picturesque. Occasionally when I would drive past the cows would be out grazing and I never missed the opportunity to roll down my window and yell “RUN!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!” IT’S LIKE SOYLENT GREEN, BUT THEY MAKE IT FROM YOU!!! DON’T TRUST THAT SIGN!!” They never moved. But I felt better for trying.
  8. Yeah, but can he sink a free throw? Don’t worry, neither could Shaquille O’Neal.
  9. This was my favorite one of the Amalgam Comics books Bruce Wayne: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. For those who aren’t comic book geeks like me, DC & Marvel once got together and did a month of books where their universes collided and you got books like Super Soldier. Where Steve Rogers was given a Kryptonite based serum and given a shield made from the metal of an alien rocket. Or Dark Claw, a mix of Batman & Wolverine.
  10. What you mean to say is that you want to be less patronizing.....But that was a very good try, now go get a cookie and take your nap.😜
  11. While I have no problem with being thrifty, and have bought things from the thrift store (books, cassette tapes, etc.) myself in the past. There are some appliances you shouldn’t buy second hand.
  12. But what song would those poor girls dance to then? My apologies to any Warrant fans out there. But the only time you ever hear that song is in some TV show or movie when the strippers show up. I’m not a big fan of either cherry or chocolate for pie filling.
  13. It looks like somebody cross-bred a cat and a monkey.......and the result is looking for payback.
  14. I kind of liked that one. I even had an NPC Agent type named Jane Blue in a game I ran. MORTY! still cracks me up.
  15. 🎼That’s the sound of the men workin’ on the...Chain Do-og!🎶
  16. He may be happy, but I’m not sure how the dog feels about it.🐶
  17. Real men don’t need their arms! And by that graphic these guys are part horse.
  18. I believe that you are a good man and if we met in the real world we would be friends. But music of all kinds is such a major importance in my life I don’t think we’ll ever agree on this subject. While Bob Dylan’s voice is awful he remains one of my favorite poets, and the Beatles music is a constant companion and solace to me in good times and bad.
  19. It is fearful at times to me how fast this group can collectively get the answer to the most obscure of questions. Good on you tdkguy!
  20. All contestants must produce official ticket in person at our main office on the planet Mongo in order to receive prizes.
  21. All right....everybody hold on to your tickets till the official paperwork from the Doctor comes in but I badgered the technician into a ballpark answer and he said it was going to be 35% give or take a few. It looks like everyone over guessed so no prizes will be forthcoming.
  22. Sorry no newsletter, but the voices in my head have a 24 hr. a day podcast going. If you want you can stick your finger in my ear and see if you can pick up the signal. “WHAT IS THE FREQUENCY, KENNETH!?!?”
