And threadlock for breaking the no politics rule in: 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...

Captain Marvel was on Justice League a few weeks back, if that counts...

I can see it now: "Miles and miles of rooms and corridors, yet somewhere in one of them is an orc with a pie..."

I was just sitting here browsing this forum when my cell phone rang. I didn't recognize the number, but I answered it anyway. An obviously prerecorded voice announced "All <meaningless acronym> team members report to building <meaningless number> at 10 hundred hours local." It repeated this a...

:lol: That's funny. My commiserations on the rest of it. I've been there before.

There's a story for the kid when he/she gets older... "Mommy, where did I come from?" "Well dear, it all started when I got a natural 20..."

Fett wasn't even originally available in the stores. I have distinct memories of being a little tyke and wanting a Boba Fett figure but the only way to get one was to send off so many "Proof of Purchase" clippings from other toys and then wait 4 to 6 weeks for delivery.

Maybe that's it. Perhaps she decided she didn't want to bother getting involved if you were about to leave town.

I don't know what to say except that you have my sympathy and that I hope nobody here has lost anyone.

The guy who revived the olympics came up with it when he revived the olympics. I don't remember his name offhand. He decided that the modern olympics should be a showcase for amature athletes right from the start. I don't remember all the details, but the idea was basically for "gentleman"...

I don't generally watch reruns, so it isn't really an applicable question. In any case, I just don't find anything interesting about watching a race like that. Why is it supposed to be interesting? A bunch of people put a lot of effort into being able to run fast and one of them turns out to...

I went to the Knoxville World's Fair in 1982 with my father and I enjoyed it. I loved having the chance to see all the national pavilions and learn a little bit about each culture. As for the olympics persisting, it seems to me they're all about crass commercialism and national...

What's not to like? Well, one thing I've never liked is the idea that there must be something wrong with me if I don't like sports. Actually, to be completely accurate, I don't hate sports -- I just don't like them. I really don't care one way or the other about sports. They simply don't...

Yeah, I was making a joke.

Actually, I watch very little television and almost none of it on network TV. Even during a heavy watching period, I watch perhaps 6-7 hours a week and three hours of that is when SciFi shows Battlestar Galactica and the two Stargate shows. The problem is that even networks that aren't showing...

I don't like sports. I'm perfectly content to ignore sports, but the media hype about things like the olympics impossible to ignore. I'm also still feeling annoyed from all the nonsense I had to put up with being in San Antonio during the basketball finals.

No. I think Monte has been hired to write 4e for Wizards. See, they generally announce a new edition a year ahead of time and someone said this product is supposed to be for GenCon 2006 and that would mean a GenCon 2005 announcement... ;) Plus, we have that evil laugh from Eric Mona to back...

I'm with mhacdebhandia. I hate getting stuck behind some joker who doesn't want to drive the speed limit and won't let people by. There are some roads that are bad about this where I grew up. There are limited opportunities to pass if the person in front of you doesn't pull aside some to let...

I suppose six hours will have to be enough. I was hoping the olympics would end up on the other side of the planet on the theory that if the events were all happening overnight for my time zone then there would be less disruption of the TV schedule and thus of my life. Hopefully the time...

D'oh! :heh: Great story. I can't wait for more.
