What if I like my jinks grilled and not fried?

Considering that Catalina SEE how the jackets stick out (she could easily TOUCH the reason), what exactly is she imagining? Baseball?
I'd suspect she's contemplating how she might go about conquering Mount Rhoda....

16 minutes ago, The Old Hack said:I wonder if that means Miss Piggy would have an affinity for spells affecting boars?
I suspect she wouldn't even need a spell to affect a boar, in certain ways. Ways that definitely don't insinuate anything, why would you even ask such a thing?

3 minutes ago, The Old Hack said:That was the Abalamahalamatandra part. The rest I just made up or snatched from elsewhere.
It's been long enough since I last read that book, but I had this suspicion its name wasn't nearly that long....

1 hour ago, The Old Hack said:"My full name is Alucitiarina Alamatara Agiltania Articimedea Abraxas-Abalamahalamatandra, but my friends call me Al."
"The End of the Matter," if I recall correctly (though the title wasn't exactly apt, as it was definitely not the end of Flinx's adventures)....
I'm still waiting for my pet Minidrag, though.

I wonder if Pandora expected Rhoda to catalyze the use of the new mark, or did she not realize the depth of their felines for each other?

I'm fairly certain Voltaire's vow is a "from this point forward" sort of thing, which leaves the impending mayhem he's already initiated with Sirleck in the clear. This is one of those "I won't do anything (because I already DID, muahahaha!), I promise," deals.

36 minutes ago, Tuscahoma said:Ok, say what you will about my mind, but Rhoda's face to me meant she might have been thinking of shrinking and jumping on... ahem... Catalina's cupcakes.
And here I suspected she might be thinking about shrinking both her and Catalina, and then jumping in a cupcake together....

Welcome to the surrealistic side AKA
dreamscapeforums.Man, where's Dennis Quaid when we really need him?

For a proper addition, however, I submit for your (dis)approval: "Zardoz." The only movie to date I absolutely could not make it through. So boring and pretentious, even the prospect of a bit of gratuitous nudity wasn't enough to keep my interest. It is truly Sean Connery's "Barbarella" -- but without the sense of camp that would make it palatable.

Ahhh, the sleight cards -- I didn't win the game this happened in, but was still worth it all the same. I was playing a Blue/Black/dash of White deck -- at the time, I liked making odd theme decks; this one's theme was a Warren Zevon song: "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner." Larger than normal deck, full of Prodigals (Tim), Zuran Spellcasters (Ice Age Tim), Norrits, Cuombajj Witches, Skull Catapults and with the legendary Merieke Ri Berit. I hope you can see where it got its name. I also had a Sleight of Mind in there, because I liked messing with people. It was a multiplayer game with myself, a primary red deck player and a fellow playing an all-white "Happy Healer Deck."
Around midgame,I got out my Merieke and the red player tossed out Anarchy (destroy all white permanents) -- which I promptly Sleighted to Red, despite the Happy Healer buildup going on, because I wanted to make use of her at least once, consequences be damned. The red player didn't last long after that, leaving just myself and the Happy Healer, although my Merieke died not long afterwards. Unfortunately, he was too well established by that point. Of note, he had no attack cards, no damage of any sort. He could heal and prevent damage, and that was it. The amount of damage he could heal & prevent, however was astounding. Even a full battery of Tims/Ice Age Tims/Norrits/Catapults couldn't take any of his healers out.
Fine, sez I, and I start trying to kill myself. Not happening. There came all that damage prevention and healing aimed right at me. My health actually went UP as the game progressed, and it dawned on me that I was facing the slowest Millstone deck in existence. I actually came close to ekeing out a win as I had a Feldon's Cane to fill my deck back up, but he had just a few more cards than me, even after that. On the upside, I lost the game with over 40 health to my name, so that's a thing.

Well, I'd toss Alien 3 into the list, except it's a well known fact* that only two movies in the Alien series were ever made.
*Denial counts as fact, right?

21 minutes ago, podian said:BEST. POWER. EVER. (fairy spell falling to second place)
I'm betting that one Sidney Scoville would love to be able to abs-orb her powers like that....
-
Ok, Elliot -- no texting while flying....
-
I've seen him commenting on the Facebook notifications, I think.
-
That expression in the last panel? Absolutely Tara-fying.
Yes, you all are allowed to clobber me for that one.

6 hours ago, Don Edwards said:I'd say Nanase's anger is over the concealing of information. I seriously doubt that Andrea was in significant peril at any point (with the possible exception of when she was trying to protect Diane and Charlotte as well as fight Spidey) - and whatever peril she did face, she was probably at least as well equipped to deal with it as Guardian Nanase. But is it believable that the immortals didn't know Tara was in the area? Not to me.
But now? The only ones in peril, I think, are Helena and Demetrius. They aren't innocent. And Nanase going Guardian would increase their peril.
(If they show up, I predict that Andrea will go fangirl over Nanase's magic again. Specifically the fae punch. And the ability to do a rapid-fire barrage with it.)
All quite true -- the question about Fairy Guardian was more of something that just occurred to me as a side-thought rather than anything I expect to actually happen.
-
Nanase SMASH! Yeah, she's got some unresolved issues regarding those two immortals, and I'd bet it's in large part due to what Susan went through in France. Maybe even a wee bit of guilt on her own part; she was the one who was supposed to slay the vampire, but her being out of position meant Susan has blood on her hands.
Even though we're not likely to see it -- no danger at this point and such -- Nanase's simmering emotions here suddenly have me wondering if Fairy Doll form can go Guardian. Sketchbook fodder, maybe?
-
I don't think there's any way to avoid telling Edward; he's going to want to discuss the mall incident, for sure, which will lead to everything else....
-
Hah, Elliot & Nanase's responses caught Andrea off guard. Also, Andrea fighting to not go off the rails onto her theoretical tangents is pure, geeky awesome.
-
That's one thing explained (by example) for Elliot, et al.
I would, however, just like to make it clear that I absolutely, positively almost never have conversations with myself like that.
For certain values of "almost never."

Yep, back. Has nobody yet yelled out, "IT'S ALIVE! ALIIIIVEEE?"

Why do I feel like there should be "Containment Breach" alarms going off about now?
And you can just tell that Nanase isn't exactly happy about breaching* this particular subject....
*yes, fully aware it should be "broaching"
