Bye-Bye! :lol:

Don't let the door hit you in the @$$ on the way out...

Don't get me wrong - I like a good debate as much as anybody, but it's tough having a battle of wits when your opponent is unarmed.

One more thing - in case you're wondering what we're doing in Iraq, the following letter was sent to friends from Brigadier General Michael D. Jones, stationed in Iraq: Dear Friends, It isn't over yet, but today there was a resounding victory for freedom and democracy here in Baghdad. Having been he...

Here's something for you - the fourth and last verse of The Star Spangled Banner : Oh, thus be it ever when free men shall stand Between their loved homes and the war's desolation Blessed with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us as a nation...

Archae - you've made it perfectly clear that you wouldn't believe the President (or any other politician - I'll give you that) if he said the sky was blue. Why the hell do you believe some posting that could have been put there by anyone, including yourself? If I had been the one to find this postin...

Even worse---the reverse. The useless female who whimpers and cries and screams and faints and does nothing but get captured by various bad guys.... right up to the very end when she suddenly turns into She-Ra, princess of Badass. Remember Arnold Schwartzenagger in "the Running Man"? The leading la...

(please note that I am an 80's kid, I grew up on GI Joe, so I know them rather well) I never understood the appeal of GI Joe - way too big! (and after my time). I preferred the small sets where you could work with hundreds (and more) of army men. And it was great when we combined our sets, includin...

These are just a few of my least favorite fantasy cliche's... name one or two you've seen. How about the Deus Ex Machina: "Well, Dorothy, you had the power to go home all along - just click your heels three times, and say 'There's no place like home.'" <Dorothy uses the ruby slippers to beat Glenda...

Re: One reminder . . .

Quentyn's story is a flashback! Read http://npc.keenspace.com/d/20030330.html Well, he IS narrating the story himself...kinda hard to do narration at the same time as the action you're narrating. :roll: At the same time, I wouldn't use the term "flashback" to describe the story. He is simply relati...

I would think that there are any number of ways to specially treat a candle to keep it from going out easily. The reason it isn't done very often is that there's nothing worse than dropping a candle that won't go out on a carpet or something else that can catch fire. In this case, however, Lady Mill...

Think of a cross between a weapons-grade laser and a lightning-bolt, but magically generated (or in this case, lux-generated). Potentially very powerful (even lethal if used against living beings), depending on the ability of the caster. Also, it requires focus and practice to aim properly. I cribbe...

Personally, I think he's just trying to make his point - if she does well at all, she'll be forced to accept that she isn't as plain and/or homely as she thinks. Of course, if she finishes last, then the whole thing might blow up in Tuck's face (not that I expect anything of the sort, of course). 8)

I dunno - at this point, I'm not sure the guard will get there in time. Methinks Quentyn is going to pull the proverbial rabbit out of his hat and save the day, or at least contribute greatly toward solving this mess. He is still swinging, after all, both literally and figuratively.
