"Hey Mister Bassman" (aka Mr. Boom-Boom written by Johnny H. Cymbal, if ASCAP is to be believed) has always been one of my favorites. :)

Yes the theater is excessive, but it's clear that this guy has plenty of money to burn. Scary... The picture with the "view outside" - I recognize the make of the playground set out there. www.rainbowplay.com - they are high-end but VERY expensive. REALLY scary that I recognized the playset...

So, do you want in again this year, LeapingShark? ;)

Sweet. Welcome (back) aboard! :) --The Sigil

Actually set up a topic about two weeks ago but nobody showed interest. I've bumped it up, and here's a direct link: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=145860 --The Sigil

Bumped since there was interest in this as shown by a bump in last year's thread.

Harrummph. Twitterpated! *shakes head* (There's a word I haven't heard for a while). :) --The Sigil

Um... that wouldn't be anything like the "Nucleus of the Spheres" on ol' Mystara, would it? ;) --The Sigil

Thanks. Credit where credit is due, though, the original idea of different uses of evil in literature isn't mine. I just happen to like it and repeat it. ;) --The Sigil

Heh... yeah, there are few, myself included! ;) Although my choice of source below might give it away, too. I actually thought Orson Scott Card had an excellent take on this misconception. He put forth the idea that there are three types of "evil" in literature... 1. Literature that depicts...

The difference, as far as I understand it (and I have *taught* daily religion classes), is just that... "magic." Remember this old saw: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." In terms of game effects (mechanics), magic and tech tend to be the same. In terms of...

And there's the rub. The arguments can, by and large, be summarized thusly: 1a. Most (not all) publishers will tell you that "pirating" stuff is (morally) wrong. 1b. Most (not all) downloaders will tell you that "pirating" stuff is (morally) right, even if it's not legal... in the same way...

Okay, this actually makes things pretty easy. The angular size of an object ('a') as a function of distance to the object ('d') and the radius of the object ('r') is expressed by: a = 2 tan^-1 (r/d) However, since you have said that you want the angular sizes (i.e., how they appear to the...

Paid $2.67 per gallon (regular unleaded) yesterday evening in So-Cal; saw prices as high as $2.83 within 2 miles of that station. --The Sigil

Just want a couple of points of clarification: 1.) Are you trying to set up a cosmological model of the actual solar system (i.e., with "Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, X" as your planets? 2.) Per your point #1 - is "Jupiter" not REALLY a gas giant but actually...

It wasn't meant as a "sour grapes" post - I really was trying to figure out what the different "feel" was. And I felt that I was right - remember level limits? Class restrictions? "Sorry, your elf can't be a cleric, only a fighter or magic-user or thief." "Sorry, you don't have that...

Countertheory... "Old school" feel is the assumption, "if it isn't explicitly mentioned as something your character can try, you can't try it." "New school" feel is the assumption "if it isn't explicitly mentioned as something your character CAN'T try, you can try it." Basically, old school...

As far as common courtesy, I think a part of it is people being afraid to voice their opinions about other folks' behavior. I was in church about a month ago and my four-year-old son was crawling all over the pews (I was busy with our two-year-old daughter, and my wife was busy with our...

Hey, I'm living my dream. Back when I was in high school, I used to wish I could just wake up, roll over, and see my wife, kiss my kids goodbye, and go to work. All of the "big, important decisions" in my life (who am I going to marry? what will I major in? what will my career be?) would be...
