[QUOTE="Hatchling Dragon, post: 1072969, member: 580"] "To pull a Bill" - Describes any action (usualy by a PC) that makes everyone else thing "Why in heck did (s)he do that?" This term came about in a Champions game many years ago. I wasn't there, but here's how I heard it happened. Bill played a 'gadgeteer', or character who derived all his super-powers from items, in his case the technological 'gadgets' from his crashed starship. He was at his Secret Identity home when the BBEG showed up, in costume no less, and knocked on his front door. For unknown reasons he had his character load all his devices, including his body armor, into a large garbage bag. He then stuffed said bag into the oven and proceeded, in his underwear, to try and sneak out the back door. I honestly don't remember if he got away or not, and I do know he's (bill) never been able to explain [i]why[/i] he did this to this very day. Now if anyone pulls a stunt that makes absolutely zero sense it's called "Pulling a Bill." And yes, he [i]still[/i] does stuff like this nearly every time we game. Hatchling Dragon [/QUOTE]
