Okay, this first: I haven't a clue.

Even in insanity, I still retain vestiges of logic (after all, the subtle twisting of logic that forms the best kind of absurdity is also the funnest kind of insanity): If I truly consider being "one of you" to be a "fate worse than death," and Celidah, who fits right in with you and therefore is "one of you," comes to me to tell me it's not that bad... why will I believe her?

Ahhh, but all your explosives are still scattered about in the open. How could I cross through them? My cloak might brush one of them, and then I'd get blown up. (And don't even tell me that your explosives aren't sensitive enough to go off at a touch...)

Sharuuk wrote:MOF, as I said earlier......even with Sol and I constantly discussing massive amounts of galactic destruction just for our amusement and **the everlasting glory of the great god "Dyzaan",** doesn't mean we've ever done it.....<yet>.

Yes, yet. My point precisely.

But now, all that stated, there are other points to consider. First off, how can I be "one of you" if I don't have any wish to explode or destroy things? I don't see either the possibility or the purpose of this.
And besides, would you really have as much fun talking about global destruction if there was no one to either panic or put forth a pestery and absurd resistance when you did? I mean really, I'd think you'd find it boring. Where would the challenge be?

And just because you are all part of the Great and Terrifying Global and/or Universal Destruction Group that I must, as a conscientious member of the A(M)F, watch with unceasing vigilance, doesn't mean I can't consider you friends, too.

Ooooo, Shar, I'm staying outta this one. Sides, Wayfarer's got a point. How do you expect me to convince her? Because I'm female??
My hypnosis skills are a little rusty, sorry.

Well, don't look at me. She already knows I'm batty.

I'm not sure even where to begin....so I'll just say that Wayfarer, you're always welcome as a friend and maybe later a co-conspirator.....oh...and about the little bangy-boomies laying around......none of them are armed or even fused.....you honestly think I'd mine the playground and rec room?

*picks up small bocci ball sized device and tosses it into a cardboard box.*

See? Completely safe.

Friends like y'alls are hard enough to come by.

I'm still waiting for someone to tell me where this reference comes from.

I still say I'd be no good as a co-conspirator. I'd have no clue what I was doing. I'm much better off as a saboteaur... (and that mostly because the other A(M)F folk do all the actual sabotage!) ::lol::
But friend, on the other hand, can always work.

Okay...
*Eyes nearest scary-looking, supposedly non-explosive device suspiciously. Reaches out a single finger, scrunches eyes shut, and touches. Opens eyes and looks around...*
Hmmmm... well, no explosion yet, I suppose.
*Takes a cautious step forward*

SolidusRaccoon · Post by **SolidusRaccoon** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 6:37 am

Yeah always seperate the detonators, don't want to blow up the clubhouse, I keep all my stuff in there. Better to blow up the enemies things.

As I told you....completely safe....look....

*leans down and picks up object (10Lb general demolition charge) holds it at head height (his)....and drops it at their feet.

*THUD*

See? Nothing happened. Oh, it's quite full of high explosives....but they are totally stable and the only way this particular little party favor is a weapon at this time is if you beat someone over the head with it or throw it into a fire. Even then it'll take a short while to get hot enough to "cook off". Most of my little firecrackers require another explosion to set them off....sort of like how a Hydrogen bomb requires an Atomic bomb to set it off. The H-bomb, no matter how devastating it's power, is essentially a more or less harmless collection of fusionable materials and little more without the fission initiator.

I have, on several occasions heated field rations over a burning chunk of C4 plastique that if detonated would turn a typical 3br 2b house into a crater.

Please believe me dear Lady....you are far safer here than you think.

at least as long as the explosives are in the hands of professionals we should be a lot safer then if they were in the hands of, say... Jar Jar Binks?

Maybe deep in Jar Jars guts before they detonate.

considering his luck (and the luck of anyone around him) I'd doubt we'd get that lucky.
