I am refraining from further speculation at this point. I will say that I really like panel four. It appeals to my Buffy fan side.

I think this is a good part of what Pandora wants her to do, too. Well spotted.

You would know. Weren't you the Dean? -

If you used gold and it got tarnished, I would be really, really worried about what they had poisoned the drink with. -
You said you had left it in the car in summer. You didn't specify and that made me figure you meant either the whole summer or a large part of it. Or do you just have very short summers where you are?
-
Since it had been in the car for that long, presumably it had already turned into Queen's Greatest Hits?
-
Yeah. I remember doing that. Usually it did not end well.

Big talk from the Pharaoh whose people made compilations of The Book of Coming Forth by Day.

Never worry. I edited the title, if it becomes a problem again please poke me. "We can be immortal, immortal, just not for long, for long..."

I largely agree. Spaceballs was dire in a lot of ways, but it is still a guilty pleasure of mine because it so mercilessly pokes fun at sci fi movies I love. However, I would add 'To Be or not To Be' to your list above. His version of it is not as good as the original, but this is in part because the original was so utterly marvelous and Brooks' version was merely very good.

Now?

For some reason, this cheers me immensely. Particularly these verses, which I am dedicating to our dear friend Colonel Sanders. You keep lyin' when you oughta be truthin' You keep losing when you oughta not bet You keep samin' when you oughta be a'changin' What's right is right but you ain't been right yet These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you You keep playing where you shouldn't be playing And you keep thinking that you'll never get burnt (HAH) Well, I've just found me a brand new box of matches (YEAH) And what he knows you ain't had time to learn These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you

Not at that moment. All it did was run into view. Admittedly it jumped at Tony the moment after, but 'Ronin' was still jumping the gun.

He was actually highly politically incorrect. He assumed that it was evil just because it looked evil to him. Bad!

Believe me, I am grateful for that, too. -
I thought this might be a fun idea for a thread: a place where we can post about odd or funny dreams we've had, discuss them and/or laugh at them. And I just had a really funny dream. I'd been using my iPad the whole evening. When I finally went to bed and slept, I dreamed that Apple had just released the thin crust iPizza, a pizza sized and shaped exactly like an iPad. It would initially come in three flavours, mushrooms, meatballs and ham. I am not entirely sure what, if any, the iPizza had to do with cutting edge electronics. I do know that I would happily eat one of the things if I could get hold of one.

Ballroom dancing. It made a man of me.

They got good enough that my suggestion of an Illithidracolich got turned down as cruel and unusal. (This was a dragon with mind flayer and Lich templates added onto it. In my opinion it would not have been impossible as the game has dracoliches (undead dragons with a load of magical power), illithiliches (undead mind flayers with a load of... well, you guessed it) and illithidragons (dragons subjected to aberrant 'hostile takeover', resulting in a dragon with a buttload of mental powers and face tentacles that swallow brains.) Or maybe it was just my DM being unreasonable. I still haven't gotten her to accept giving my paladin a half-Axiomatic Dire War Dromedary as a mount. Grumblegrumblemutter.

This sounds to me like a good way to set up a Little Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly scenario.

It depends on the kind of story you are writing. Is there somehow a death quota to meet? I always felt that the flaw in TOS was not necessarily the fact that only Redshirts died but the fact that they had to die at all. It were as if the assumption was that the audience would not get that a situation was dangerous unless someone got killed. I am a great opponent of death for death's own sake. If you kill off a character, do it for better reason than merely shock value. The worst character deaths are those where someone gets killed purely to shock the audience (as my late grandmother rather nastily put it, 'making a big boom to wake them up from being sound asleep') and then the effects or consequences never get examined or explored. No, if someone has to die, do it with great care and respect for the character and the consequences. And last but certainly not least, for the audience as well.

No no. There was a reason for the Advanced part of the name. You needed to distinguish it from the original Dungeons & Dragons, which itself is distinct from Basic Dungeons & Dragons. ETA: We had a rather mean joke in my circle of friends back then. First edition dragons tended to be... well, a little anemic. As a result we said the abbreviation AD&D meant "Absolutely defenseless dragons." (They got better in Second Edition. And this is not even mentioning Third Edition where you could slap class levels and templates on top of everything else they had...)
-
Ewwwww. They're Chaotic. Almost as bad as Evil.

Ah, me. That reminds me of the time I played a paladin in a rather silly campaign way back in First Edition AD&D (which wasn't called that, it was just AD&D). We all kept making various silly jokes, meta and otherwise. My own most successful one caused the DM to throw a pillow at me and was based on the fact that paladins were so snobbish that they would only adventure at most once with people that they weren't sure was of good alignment. We'd been on three adventures. At the end of each adventure, my paladin had sold his horse and bought a new one. At last the DM gave in to his itch and had the horse trader ask me, "Why do you keep coming back for a trade? Is there something wrong with the horses I'm selling?" And my paladin replied, "Yes. They aren't Good enough for me." (Due to horses automatically being Neutral in the game.) Cue pillow to the head.

In my opinion that only makes him more admirable.

Without question. Everybody in the story are all catspaws of the single most manipulative being in Moperville.
