They found out that, through a quirk in the system, they'd be playing the Detroit Lions. I mean, what good is first place if second place goes to the Lions? New Topic: Why the big hurry to get to Wolf 359, anyway?

Having run a Champions campaign that became a War of DEX (with non-speedsters/non-martial artists having DEXs of 28-33), I wouldn't want something that encourages such behavior. Granted, that was in the 4E-5E era where SPD was figured off DEX, so there's less impetus to do so in 6E, but still, it would be a concern of mine.

Oh, booger.

So, did he close his eyes and plug his ears through the beginning and end of The Wizard of Oz?

I played BYOB (Bring Your Own Brick) run by Dave Mattingly at GenCon a number of years ago. We were told to bring 2 characters, and he would choose which one you played. Was great fun. But I couldn't vote here, because my character didn't get rejected or nicknamed. And None doesn't work as a valid option.

I'm confused. None of those are the Detroit Lions.

Are the other three named Bea Arthur, Rue McClanahan, and Estelle Getty?

Well, can we at least have Mexico take Ted Cruz and Greg Abbott? They can consider it a down payment.

Wait... they weren't?!

Dust off and nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

True story - my college roommate dislocated his elbow (yowch!), and after they fixed it at the ER, he asked the doctor if he'd be able to play the piano after the arm healed. The doctor said, "Sure, I don't think that will be a problem." My roomie replied, "That's cool, I've never been able to play the piano before..."

(Thinks about the current politics, climate, and general stupidity of most people.) I'd say let Galactus go ahead and consume the Earth if he wants, but he'd probably say "No thanks."

And then there's people like this father: Canada man flees with daughter, doesn't want her to get COVID vaccine (usatoday.com) He was supposed to return his daughter to his ex-wife after a weekend in November, but "decided to keep her."

It's so damn frustrating to me, with peoples' attitudes toward lockdowns and preventative measures. I think of my dad, who lived through the Great Depression and World War II. Heck, he managed to go to college at the end of the Depression, working at a spaghetti company to help pay his way while taking classes. Then having to interrupt his studies to go fight in WWII. When I think of all he had to go through... and I'm being asked to wear a mask, give people their space, and stay in my home. If that's the worst I have to suffer, geez, I'll take it. To paraphrase something Robert Fulghum once wrote, people need to realize whether something is a lump in their throat, a lump in their potatoes, or a lump in their breast.

I have to wonder whether some of these people are just pranking the anti-vaxxers. "Hey, I got it! Why don't we suggest they inject bleach!" "Ooo! That's a good one. But that could be kinda lethal. I know, how about we see if we can get them to drink their own piss!" "Yeah! And next week, we can say that eating their own poop will work too!"

You need to cut back on the drinking... Oh, not that kind of hammered. Sorry.

They could just go with The Famia. Won't take anybody long to figure out that's just an anagram of Mafia, though.

You have a cat. 'Nuff said.

He's the Anti-Tom-Holland.

The Joker, topping his hamburger with ladyfingers. Literal, lady fingers.

Remember, more US astronauts have come from Ohio than from any other state. What is it about Ohio that makes people want to leave the planet?

You stole my idea. (shakes fist in impotent rage)

Bob Greenwade had a great set of supervillains (the Castoffs) based on the characters from Gilligan's Island. I appropriated them for a solo battle with one of my players' superheroes years ago. It wasn't until Professor Makeshift pulled out the coconut cannon that the player finally figured out who they were. (It turned out to be a dream sequence, after the hero fell asleep with the TV on.) It was a lot of fun.

Both of my daughters (ages 26 and 29). They also have seen most episodes of Night Court, Danger Mouse, Red Dwarf, and Schoolhouse Rock. Though to be fair, they've commented that when they've quoted or made references to most of those shows to their classmates in the past, they've mainly gotten blank stares.
