    Okay, that's it! Even Thom was making political snipes in another thread. Hack, go recreate your Politics thread. I'd do it myself but I don't think I can recall all of your guidelines.
  2. What Are You Ingesting?

    I beg to differ. Dark chocolate mint M&Ms are the best! (Time to revive the Politics thread so we can take our near-religious fervor there? ;-) )
  3. What Are You Watching?

    What's the name of the level? Searching YouTube and Google for both "Game Grumps" and "Dan Shive" yielded no joy, only a link to a list of levels over 80 long, giving titles only, no creators. I'm not ambitious enough or bored enough to click them all....

    Latest NP strip [url="http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp.php?id=429"]here. Grace is definitely showing her own preferences here....to the surprise of no one!

    She smiles and they scan her teeth?
  6. Things That Make You Happy

    Happy to have hit fifty posts because now I can change my title again!
  7. Check in here -- Welcome back!

    I'd offer to do an ammo-ectomy, but only if you can find me an anesthesiologist who can guarantee the darn thing won't wake up halfway through and eat the whole surgery suite!
  8. Story: Friday March 11 2016

    Sounds like Dan was aiming for "permanence" and missed by a couple of letters....
  9. I Am Not A Werewolf

    You're making me nostalgic for mIRC.... That said, that looks a lot more elaborate and role-play-y than the games I've usually been in. We were just a pseudo-medieval village with a small population getting smaller by the minute and a mayor who fled before the game ever got started. Reasons to lynch could, in the early "days" when there's really nothing to go on, include what T-shirt someone was wearing (it had a wolf on it!) or whether they were eating M&Ms (poisonous to canines). Some players are pretty quck to pick up on changes in style of gaming or tiny slips of the tongue, once they've had time to happen!
  10. What Are You Ingesting?

    Far more macaroni and cheese than I should have.

    The genes reassort themselves in different ways with each individual sperm or egg. That's why siblings aren't identical. You'd end up with two copies of one side and none of the other for more than enough genes to result in a different individual. The offspring also migt be prone to genetic abnormalities from recessive genes being duplicated. If the TFG was designed for helping out entire species who have too few of one sex versus the other, it probably has some sort of safeguard against, say, abnormalities within the genome of the transformed self, but I don't know that it would be able to leave any sort of lingering magic that would fix problems in the next generation! You'd probably have even more chance of problems than siblings would. (In the real world, twins who are able to reproduce together means one boy and one girl, thus they cannot be identical and are no more related than any other sibling pair.)
  12. STORY: Wednesday March 9, 2016

    Mildred? I thought she was Elliot's Mild-Mannered Alternate, Emma...
  13. What Are You Ingesting?

    About to have the second slice of Garcia's pizza I brought back with me from Champaign! They used to be a real phenomena on campus, had three or four places just in Champaign-Urbana, but rising rents drove them more to the outskirts and they're down to one location, so I try to patronize them whenever I'm down there. The first slice met an untimely demise somewhere on I-57. I also brought back a box from Hot Wok, which was dinner yesterday. You gotta love being able to eat your old favorites occasionally!
  14. What Are You Doing Right Now?

    You're on vacation, yet you're in here fixing stuff for us -- either you're a highly dedicated and generous person, or the destination is a bust. ;-P (Translation: Hope you're actually having a fabulous time, and only come in here when you've walked or danced your feet off!)
  15. The Weather.

    I think we got into a discussion of this once before, or perhaps it was another forum.... 1) malls always seemed like a suburban American phenomena, it seems odd at first glance to hear about nordic shopping malls; and 2) malls have been disappearing a lot around here, replaced with complexes of long rows of facing shops, sort of a hybrid between a strip-mall colony and a real mall that's lost its roof. Is that happening over there, too?
  16. Changing Medications (Level of Trust Required)

    Maybe sleeping straight through the night (or staying awake so briefly between First and Second Sleep that you don't remember waking) is actually a sign of sleep deprivation?
  17. Opinion and Suggestion About Avatars

    I tend to use images of the same character, from a somewhat obscure manga, because she looks like me. Started in college, when people were putting pictures of themselves on their doors. My roommate's picture was from Battle Angel Alita. Seems like every time I do an image search after joining a new forum I end up finding a different specific picture, but I can always find something usable.
  18. The Association Game

    The dog in yesterday after eating several pounds of black thistle seeds. Your last word definitely fits that dog just then.
  19. Changing Medications (Level of Trust Required)

    They did a story about the history of sleep on public radio's Backstory last year, and apparently, what you describe is what was considered completely normal back around the Revolution, when we didn't have electric or gas lights letting us stay up to all hours. People would go to bed earlier than most of us do now, sleep until around midnight, then wake up for an hour or so. They'd read, pray, catch up on paperwork, even go visiting. Then, they'd go back to bed and sleep for a few more hours before getting up with the sun or thereabouts. My boss and I have both had plenty of times we'd fall asleep on the couch in the late evening, then wake up for no known external reason around three or three-thirty in the morning, get up, go to bed, and go back to sleep for the rest of the night. Same sort of schedule as you, just a few hours later. So, whether it's caused by the new meds or not, at least you can relax about whether the sleep pattern itself is unhealthy. May that help you rest easier! ETA: Here's a link to the story! http://backstoryradio.org/2014/11/02/sleep-well/
  20. STORY: Wednesday March 9, 2016

    This isn't even a matter of not thinking things through; that implies that there is only one direction to think in. We've demonstrated right here that there were many, many ways to interpret the situation. She may have thought it through, even thought it through several times, and just not happened to have hit upon the right answer.
  21. What's in the Lost and Found?

    Himmler's something simmlar
  22. The Association Game

    Upside-down!
  23. STORY: Wednesday March 9, 2016

    Were the giant velociraptors asian? I thought they'd only been found that big in Utah.
  24. The Association Game

    IFF
  25. What's in the Lost and Found?

    The tact, decency, and ability to conduct civil discourse of several politicians who shall remain nameless here due to forum rules (but I think you can guess).
