Welcome, everyone, to the new 910CMX Community Forums. I'm still working on getting them running, so things may change. If you're a 910 Comic creator and need your forum recreated, let me know and I'll get on it right away. I'll do my best to make this new place as fun as the last one!

Thank you. Both for the kind compliment and for being considerate of my all too limited reserve of patience and of my well-being as a whole.

Yes. That's OK. You don't have to accept the blame, you just make for such a lovely and inviting target to throw it at.

That is why Scotty correctly referred to them as lojinks. At that point they were still just gearing up.
-
Well, we wouldn't know, because SOMEONE was careless with the Library of Alexandria we had. You are not getting another until you've shown you can be more responsible with your priceless and irreplaceable repositories of knowledge.

A festival with its entire foundation based on drinking beer? You couldn't keep it isolated to a single nationality if you tried.

Shhh. Don't jinks it.

I remember when I was put in charge of getting the small office I worked at back then new computers. I was also given the job of installing the OS, which was Windows 98. I inspected the setup with great care and found a small obscure option that allowed for omitting Clippy entirely from the install. I without hesitation did so. Next, after my boss had worked with his new machine for a couple of hours, he commented, "That's odd. It hasn't thrown that stupid paperclip at me yet." I responded, rather smugly, "And it won't. I removed it from the installation process." One of the things that made him such a joy to work for was that he always told you when he thought you'd done a good job. That time he praised me to the skies.

I'll share this with my wife. She heartily endorses this concept. -
Your people INVENTED math! Bad Pharaoh!
-
Greg cosplays as Chung Li. That is a level of awesome even Math will have trouble beating, so I agree.
-
That doesn't count. 1) Dabbler is already a superhero. 2) She stopped the gamma rays in order to not get everybody killed rather than preventing them from gaining super powers. Which would be a bit redundant since 95% of everybody present had superpowers already.
-
A massive burst of gamma rays is still not good for your health. Marvel notwithstanding, it doesn't normally turn you into a superhero.
-
I dunno, I think the aftereffects on weather patterns with all that dust being hurled up, not to mention the massive burst of radioactivity, would be pretty fierce. Admittedly that would take somewhat longer.
-
At least they would be over very, very quickly. So would the problems of most everybody on the continental land mass you happened to be on at the time.

My latest bank statement amuses me. Due to the way it employs abbreviations, it states that Christ just withdrew about a hundred dollars from my account. (I don't really mind. Guy has an impossible job and he is supposed to do charity anyway.)
-
I am so sorry. Please give my heartfelt sympathies to Mrs. Prof. The thing about blows like this one is: even if you see it coming, the blow of a hammer still strikes like a hammer. Take good care of yourself and her, and my thoughts go out to you.

I love crit fails. They lead to the most hilarious situations. I remember when one of the players in our online D&D game had the brilliant idea of trying to intimidate the chieftains of the united Orc tribes into participating in an attack on the local Lich Queen. He rolled a crit fail. The 'diplomats' sent to negotiate had to leave very, very quickly at that point, dozens of angry elite Orc warriors baying on their tails. And we did not get much help from the Orcs in the subsequent battle against the Lich Queen.

...applied to the inside of the skin? I think I'll pass.

I believe that was rather Gordon's point.

That's not for our sake. That's for the poor apes. They are already embarrassed enough by having us in the family. This way they at least get a sop to their egos.

question mark Story Tuesday May 17, 2016
The Old Hack replied to CritterKeeper's topic in Comic Discussion
The Moderator: And I am saying that you are not being objective at all. CritterKeeper started a thread against the possibility that people wanted to discuss it here in the story forums now that the Question Mark storyline is not merely canon but a full part of the main storyline. YOU are sarcastically and hostilely questioning the purpose of the thread, which is also known as trolling and is against the FAQ. My original post was made in the hopes that you would take the hint and thus obviate the need for me to post as moderator but I clearly made it too subtle for that. In the future, if you feel a thread is redundant, there are two clearly proper courses of action. One is to complain to the moderator. Me. The other is simply to ignore the thread. Posting hostile logic chopping in an attempt to derail or kill the thread is a FAQ violation and will earn warning points. I hope I have made myself sufficiently clear this time. ~tOH. -
question mark Story Tuesday May 17, 2016
The Old Hack replied to CritterKeeper's topic in Comic Discussion
Quite possibly. I find it at least within the realms of possibility that not every single reader on this forum has exactly the same perspective and conception of what is important that you do. -
Certainly! Your interpretation might very well be the correct one, too. I just wanted to mention how I personally had interpreted it.
