This game has you telling the world just how Lard Lad's newest power works.

The first person names the new power. The next person the describes what the power is and how it works. And then leaves a new power for the next poster to describe.

Dish Pan Hands

[ January 04, 2009, 11:41 AM: Message edited by: Quislet, Esq. ]
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
Lardy can change any object he touches into either a dish or a pan. Of course which it turns into and what kind is totally random. It may be a paper plate or bone china; it may be a cast iron cauldron or a small aluminum saucepan.

Next:
Selective Teleportation
 
Posted by Arm Fall Off Boy on :
 
This power allows Lardy to teleport people who are boring him, or possibly in-laws, to another location. The selective part means 2 things: 1) He selects whom he teleports and to where and 2)They have conveniently had all memories of the conversation with Lardy selectively removed.

Next:
Conversing with animals
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
This power is only activated when Lardy has achieved altered consciousness (usually by means of alcohol), in which Lardy has the ability to talk with animals and learn what others have been saying behind his back (even when he tries another line of conversation the topic invariably returns to this). No one else is ever privy to these conversations, and it remains undetectable to even the most skilled of animal telepaths.

Next:
super-wardrobe-malfunctionism

Cauliflower Ears

Next:
Cinemascope
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Whenever Lardy isn't certain if a nearby movie is worth paying to get into, he can will his Cinemascope into being - an undetectable external eye that can materialized only in nearby a darkened room lit only by a projected film. He can then view the film in question without paying attention.

Whenever you see Lardy sitting in the mall seemingly asleep, he's really watching something at the movieplex.

Next:
Rabbit's Foot
 
Posted by Set on :

Next:
Party-Pubes!
 
Posted by Set on :
 
Lard Lad has the power to conjure up dozens of post-pubescent young people (all over the age of consent for the surrounding locality), streamers, cake and music. Sometimes clowns, too.

What did you think he meant by 'pubes?'

Next:
Receding Hairline.

Lard Lad's invention prowess enabled him to build and patent the only line of "plug-in" air fresheners that deal in a safe and healthy manner with... certain body issues.

Next:
That Old Black Magic

HDTV, or Huge Dictionary & Thesaurus Volumes, is the name of Lardy's power that let's him abbreviate or make an ancronym out of any word or groups of words. And while anyone can do this, Lardy's power makes the abbreviation or acronym instantly understandable. QED is it a sup-pow.

Next:
A horse of another color power (or HAC-pow)
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
No matter how big your avenging re-animated zombie army of My Little Ponies is, Lardy's is bigger. And meaner. And cutting off or bashing in their heads won't save you, as they can still suck in brains through their specially-modified super-zombie-hooves.

Next:
Flavor-Rite

Next:
Double Joints
 
Posted by Set on :
 
While his detractors claim that this refers to Lardy's ability to be the life of the party, and make giggling references to something called 'Reefer Madness,' in truth, Double Joints refers to Lardy's ability to add joints to any object he touches, allowing him to fold it in half for convenient storage.

Next:
Double Vision

Lard Lad is the only man in the English-speaking world who can do a Karaoke medley of Foreigner songs without inciting mass revolts. Yes, even "Double Vision" and [shudder] "Waiting For A Girl Like You" are spun into gold owing to Lardy's way with a vintage Top 40 song.

Next:
Shonen Knives

Next Power:

Potpourri
 
Posted by Set on :
 
Lardy can reach into his pockets and produce any of a bewildering array of small items. He once was tipped over and a pile of items large enough to bury him poured forth, leading to onlookers using terms like 'Fibber McGee's closet' and 'plethora' and 'potpourri of junk.' Potpourri was the name that stuck.

Lardy is a suave master of 27 languages, and as a master spy has charmed the pants off many a woman with his silver tongue.

Next:
Soap Scum

This is an involuntary power of Lardy's. If a dirty person (defined as someone who hasn't bathed or showered in the previous 24 hours) comes within 1 foot of Lard Lad, they are instantly covered with a soapy lather. The lather disappears in 45 seconds, leaving the person clean, but smelling like they have been soaked in beer.

Next:
Red-eye
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Lardy's other powers are at their most effective between the hours of 9 PM and 7 AM.

This power is used for searching for buried treasure. It starts off with Lardy running in an increasingly widening circle. At just the right point, he starts to slide or skid along the ground. He will keep skidding until he comes to rest on the next hidden "treasure" in the direction he was skidding. Unfortunately, it usually just turns up discarded pennies.


Next:
A Touch of Mink
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
With a touch, Lardy can turn any object into a mink coat. The object must be touched with his left elbow while he is standing on his head and singing the theme to The Patty Duke Show, but some of these powers do have rather odd limitations.

Next:
Wine Press
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Everyone knows that those swanky glossies like Wine Spectator just make stuff up based upon how much advertising dough they get from the vintners and restaurant owners. If we only had Lardy's superpower, we could tell by sight alone which wine was worth the $60 price tag and which wine was just Franzia in a cooler package. As a bonus, we'd always have the power to verbally one-up those irritating culture vultures in black who always show up at wine tastings to make everyone else feel low-class.

Next:
A Chicken in Every Pot
 
Posted by Arm Fall Off Boy on :
 
Once, while foiling a string of robberies at Pottery Barn, Lardy put a live chicken in every pot. Then, he staked it out, and when the thief returned, every where he went, a chicken squawked. Lardy then captured him!

Next:
Saturated Fat
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
"Saturation" means "maximum unity of one substance with another substance." Much in the same way, Lardy has an innate ability to seat fat single folks next to skinny single folks at all his posh dinner parties and have them cooing to one another like the proverbial lovebirds by party's end. Countless size-contrasting couples have attributed their long and happy relationships to "that awesome dinner party at Lardy's place."

BB stands for "Big Butt." Due to his tremendously large bottom, Lardy is able to carry his backup weapon of choice between his own buttocks.

Next:
Buffalo Wings
 
Posted by Ram Boy on :
 
If Lardy grabs two of these appetizers in each hand and then says over and over again "I do believe I can fly!", he still can't. But he can eat them and, depending on the level of spiciness, gain the ability to shoot flames out of his mouth.

Consuming several bottles of blue cheese dressing is the only way to negate the effect.

Next:

Building Blocks

[ April 18, 2009, 10:33 PM: Message edited by: Rockhopper Lad ]
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Lardy owes his small fortune to this particular super-power: The foes of ever-encroaching "Big Box" stores hire him to deliver stirring oratory to their local planning committees. No legion of Mal-Wart flacks can stand for long against Lardy's classic NIMBY speech.

Rumor Mill

Next:
Five Card Stud

Fire in the Hole
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Like the legendary British delicacy Toad-In-The-Hole, but much, much spicier. Lardy's version contains a clever distillation of grain alcohol and ground-up Habanero peppers.

Lardy can sketch a parrot, which will then come to life to do his bidding for exactly the amount of time it takes to quote a certain "Monty Python" sketch, at which time the parrot rings down the curtain and joins the Choir Invisible.

In the Wink of an Eye
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
While hitchhiking on a starry night through the legendary citrus groves of Texas, Lardy refused a mysterious sprite's insistence that he "Go ahead and just take those grapefruits, Bub. No one's looking." Turns out the sprite was none other than Rio Star, Guardian Spirit of Domestic Citrus. In reward for his goodness and honesty, Rio Star bestowed Lardy with the power to spit grapefruit juice into the eye of his enemies at will;as well as immunity to any citrus-related attacks from his enemies, of course.

Weekend Pass
 
Posted by Set on :
 
By reaching into a pocket and producing a gold ticket that reads 'T.G.I.F.' and then breaking into a (surprisingly catchy) rendition of Loverboy's 'Working for the Weekend,' Lardy can alter the flow of time so that it immediately becomes 5 PM on Friday. The one time he did this on 4:59 on a Friday, the time-space continuum collapsed and he became the seventh incarnation of the Time Trapper. It's generally agreed that he wasn't as good as the one with the scarf.

Leapin' Lizards
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Lardy can infiltrate swap meets and flea markets disguised as a customer. Cheap knockoffs of textured Gucci and other big-name designer bags will jump several feet, revealing their status as fakes. Whereas the genuine article will temporarily become a live lizard (or crocodile)-- all it takes is a wave of Lardy's hand. This power also works on wallets, shoes, and belts.

Jack-O-Lantern
 
Posted by Lardi the Incorruptible on :
 
Lardy has his own power ring. Its power source is a lantern charged with Michael "Jack-o" Jackson's essence and music. Should you be hit by the ring's beam, you will instantly become sexually and racially ambiguous, be the subject of endless tabloid rumors and be able to perform a flawless moonwalk!

[ROTFLMAO]

Ahem. Sorry.

Lardy has a thorough knowledge of those "What Season Are You?" fashion 'n makeup charts that first took hold amongst the masses about twenty years ago. With a simple wave of his hand, he can turn any woman or man into a temporary "Autumn," so the person in question can wear those lovely rusts, deep golds, and bright oranges that s/he always wanted to.

Like the heroine of this groovy children's book, Lardy is half-fairy. Which means he, like its heroine and unlike normal humans, can kiss his own elbow.

Frankly My Dear, I Don't Give a Damn
 
Posted by cleome46 on :
 
As Proty was to Chameleon Boy in the Silver Age, as Tige was to Buster Brown in the heyday of children's shoes, and as Billy Martin was to George Steinbrenner in the 1970s, so there's the team of...

Lard Lad and Frankly. Frankly the animate tube-shaped meat product lives most of the time in a magic ring on Lardy's left pointer finger.

When Lardy is being menaced by a mad scientist's pack of wild dogs or hungry monster mutant toddlers, however, all he has to do is say "My Dear" into the ring.

Out springs Frankly, discreetly clad in a delicious bun and all required condiments. His job is to lead the menacing carnivores away from Lardy, to their dooms. (Over a nearby cliff or into chopper blades, for instance.)

By adding the phrase, "I don't give a damn," Lardy can create an additional Frankly, as many as needed for a particular battle.

(Frankly's spirit is the ring itself, so loss of one or several corporeal bodies in battle does not mean his actual demise. He gets annoyed if Lardy accidentally leaves his ring in his uniform pocket when it's being laundered, however.)
