Welcome! 03/05/2016
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!

That was Heinlein. Mind you, Heinlein did have a word with Gerrold and basically gave the okay to the Trouble with Tribbles script. Unfortunately, due to some sort of misunderstanding there was a copyright problem afterwards anyway.

So, Twilight Grace, Sarahshy and Ellen Dash? *scratches head*

Why, never! I would not do such things, yes? Good. Or these forums would end up being full of suspicious characters. And then I might actually have to work at being a moderator. And I hate to work.

To be fair, the Grand Prix drivers probably have a much better idea of what they are doing as well as fewer delusions about their mortality.

Drop the water and the chicken and just have the bourbon neat instead. It will make you feel better.

Susan is my favourite as well. Her arc of growth is deeply compelling to me. Sadly I am very tired this evening but I may go into more detail later.

Stephen Hawking. I think Einstein would be problematic for such courtroom due to being dead. Unless the courtroom IS in afterlife ... wait, that would be even more hypocritical. Not really a problem. We just use Dr. Gehrman instead of Einstein. He looks kinda like him, so he ought to be perfect.

Please be patient. I will try to repost the courtesy rules early next week. But this is not a good weekend for me, timewise.

Bless you. You have just saved me a lot of work that I did not really have the time for this weekend. I will look them over and see if I can come up with anything that needs to be edited or if they can be condensed, then repost them.

This gives me a rather strange mental image of some courtroom where magicians are being prosecuted for violating the laws of physics, with infractions against the square/cube law seen as mere misdemeanours whereas something like creating a machine that produces more energy than goes into it is a very serious offence that might result in a protracted stay in jail.

Okay, fair enough, but I am still not happy with having an incompetent and corrupt tax-evading drunkard that spends government money on partying while he is supposed to be at work for our prime minister.

No, no. I still have lots of water so we will just play water polo instead.

None of this, however, answers the really important question: how does he play Angry Birds? -
Royalty: Oh, I agree. That was why I said 'possibly.' Pronunciation: Oh Lord yes. I learned so much English from reading back in the day. Even these days I will all too frequently mispronounce some word I only know in written form and my wife has to correct me.

I am notoriously terrible at resisting temptation of this kind. -
The comic Dan was looking for is this one, I think. I tweeted it to him.

I'm glad you got a laugh out of my ramblings. As to Tedd's aura... hm. Maybe, "OMG! It's the Magic Pope!"

Not bad. So how does she access the web? A magical HUD in front of her eyes only she can see, operable by haptic controls? -
Someone please ask him to move to Denmark. Right now I'd vote for Gul Dukat over the PM we currently have.

Oh dear gods yes, imagine a cute little blond girl (about 7 or 8) going on about how she is so depraved. I did not, at the time, understand why everyone was laughing. I was trying to complain that I was deprived, though for the life of me I can't remember of what I felt I was deprived at the time. This may happen at any age. One becomes especially vulnerable to it when 1) using a second language and 2) very tired. My English-speaking girlfriend (nowadays wife) was once quite amused when I, upon emerging dripping wet from the bath, asked for a trowel to dry myself off with.

Err, my entire stockpile of polonium just went missing, so be REALLY careful, please?

Glad to see you have it back! -

So how does she display bar codes when she needs to show an electronically purchased pass or ticket? -
Given that Tara is a knight and their persistent mention of royalty I am starting to suspect that their half of the world (Darn you, Dan, EXPLAIN THAT!) is a monarchy with a feudal system of some sort. Possibly a vestigial one with some sort of civil representation. Moreover, I find the reactions of the griffins rather interesting. I have this feeling that they still have Nanase placed in the slot marked 'royalty' in their worldview and that they go along with not calling her 'princess' mostly as polite acceptance of royal caprice. ("Uh, of course, your Majest -- I mean, your Elizabethness -- I mean Elizabeth!")

Well, this was a quarter century ago and that particular mall was dying even then. And yes, I'd say so. Many American phenomena get copied here in Scandinavia and a surprising number of tendencies follow in parallel.
