Anyone got any good acronyms for it?
STU, your powers are not acronymic in a way now too, correct, kinda like in the sense that Captain Marvel’s our by saying SHAZAM?
Not "STU" itself, but saying "STUDOG," "STUCAT," "STUCHIAELEPHANT," etc. triggers the change to the various animal personae... see here.

LARDLAD has really only ever been capitalized when used as my posting I.D. I've never capitalized it within a story or tag thread. I think that once or twice other posters may have written about him using all caps, but only on a couple occasions.
Interestingly, though, I did use to write the name as one word "Lardlad" until fairly recently. Now, I consider the correct way to refer to the character to be as "Lard Lad". But I will stick with tradition as far as the posting I.D. is concerned. I will always post as LARDLAD!
But just for fun.......

...having read the summary, I'm wondering precisely which "little something" you were referring to?
---the significance of the nelly cap?
---Umber's continued obliviousness?
---that bit about Lardy in the epilogue?
---something else?
In any case, this was a superb story you guys whipped up! Having browsed the original tag thread you linked, I assume it never ended in tag form?
Also, it seems Earth-1 Lardy played a small part in the story. Does it take place before before he lost his powers and left the LMB for over a year? Or after he returns?
Hmmm...I might have to tell Earth-4 Lardy's full story some day!

Wow! Just finished reading this latest historical/archieval thread from our resident chronicler extraordinaire (that would be Cobie )
1) I never really thought of myself as one of the Top 10 most powerful LMBPers but I see Cobie has given my variable powers more thought than I have. Based on what you wrote there CK, I think you and I could really combine forces for some truly impressive feats.
2) I also need to figure out how I'm going to meld the power that is the Emerald Eye of Ekron into my repertoir. (Fear not, I have no interest in playing out the Emrald Vi storyline! )
3) If it were not already established that Lasher would somedat become the Time Trapper Mouse, I could easily conceive of a story that would show Varalent in that role. After all, he has been developing some sort of time control powers recently. Add the Emerald Eye to that and who knows what might happen.

It's gratifying & humbling to know that I will forever be remembered by Cobie and others for my post (rather short post, I might add) concerning the the Emerald Dildo of Ekron & the Golden Dildo of Taltar and Star 69.
It was fun to write and still makes me smile knowing that you all enjoy it so much.

Ah, well, see Vee, that's the thing. It's been strongly implied, and in my Lucien Lad origin it's certainly true that a *version* of Lash becomes TTMT *but* that story also deals a lot with alternate worlds and all that gubbins and I'm pretty sure that while it's been implied that Lash will one day become TTMT I'm also pretty sure that there have been hints that that might not actually be true. It sort of depends on whether Lash still has the Living Retcon powers or not.
See, I like the idea that while we have one main suspect to become TTMT we also have other suspects and we never really find out for certain. TTMT could be Lash, it could almost as easily be Lucien Lad (he has sort of time altering powers anyway, so who knows), it could be Glamour Puss (as in the Earth 4 Lucien Lad. That's never been hinted at but it just occured to me...), it could be yourself. The different possibilities make the whole thing much more fun to my mind.

I have a question about how things happen in continuity.
How do characters "join" the LMB? Are there try-outs as in the Legion of yore? Do they just show up and say "I wanna be a part of your groovy group?" Are they recruited?
I'm working on a OneVision with RhL's origin story and I have an idea about his joining, but I want to make sure it jibes with what has gone before.
Thanks! RhL

Obviously Cobie is the man to answer this for certain, but I;m pretty sure most of the time people have joined just by saying they want to join. There have been sort of recruiting drives (I guess the road trips might count in that respect) but I don't think there have ever been official try outs or anything, unless of course they were part of a tag team or a One vision or something like that. Heh, it'd be quite funny to read about the try outs though and see, considering who *is* in the LMBP, who got rejected (apart from Lester).
