"Aging, Gold Digging Millionaire Jerry Hall to Marry Aging Billionaire Rupert Murdoch" 
 
 
I don't even know what to think of this.

NFL told it can no longer treat Cheerleaders as non employees.

I should clarify that I didn't mean I dislike ranchers in general, just the turds in question.
 
We buy our beef from local ranchers who aren't assclowns.
 
I still like tortoises better than ranchers on two principles:
 
1. Animals have less capacity for asshattery than humans as a rule, and most ranchers are human.
B. Ranchers are too stringy for my tastes.

I'm sure most cops want to get a little ass in the back of the squad car.

Of course he was no match against Funky Flashman!

It was Mopee, the Heavenly Helper, working behind the scenes.  

Superman character to GM:  Yeah, ummm, can I switch to playing the green Martian guy?
GM:  What?  Why?
Character:  Fire seems much less common.

The artist couldn't have known of course, but if you gave Von Schull black hair he'd look frighteningly similar to British PM David Cameron. 

And now to shift gears slightly, I'm going to do a batch of Watchers of the Dragon characters, since that one is polling really well too.  
 
First on the block is Seeker, who Steve Long turned into the ultimate martial artist.  He's... somewhat... more expensive than in the Champions books.  This is seeker who's been around a long time and spent a lot of experience.
 
As far as I know this is the last printing of the character, who was disappeared for the new editions.

Of course other species that do the same thing have been found elsewhere.

I didn't have the book with me so I gave him different kinds of color coded grenades assuming he had a multipower.  Just assume he as a daughter with a lot of nail polish trying to help daddy out.

Marathon was one I used quite a bit. He was a rival for an Olympic Athlete themed PC: Olympiad. It was a perfect match as they were almost polar opposites. Olympiad was all about fair play, hard work, something of a lady's man but courteous, respectful and a bit chivalrous towards women and he was an honored American athlete. Its like they wrote Marathon for the job.

Mafia in Australia: Major drug trafficking group linked to senior politicians, investigation revealsUnknowingly, of course, but still interesting.

I'm not saying that "Lord Liaden" is actually a paid online spinster for certain sinister entities who want to suppress discoveries about Australian prehistory. I'm also not saying that he isn't.
