Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Kill This Thread X: The Sixth 24-Hour Thread

In tonight's news: superhero plummets to his death. Identity revealed. The city's vegetable oil powered hero, A-Maizing Man, suffered a massive cholesterol induced heart attack in mid flight. Police identified the body as this station's own Klar-K Kent.

LOL

A-Maizing Man met a messy, greasy end.

A passer by thought that A-Maizing Man might have survived the fall. But paramedics confirmed that there was no way he was ever going to get butter.

At first they thought there was a margarine-al chance he'd make it.

I tried to do that one, but it didn't look as good, so I went with the one above. Now I'm churned up inside with jealousy.

Oh, don't be so butter bitter about it.

Easy for you to say, just 'cause you're butter than everyone else.

Yeah, but you're the one holding cholester-all the marbles.

With all these butter puns, you're really....on a roll

Jelly good show.

I'm worried that we're hogging all the good butter puns. Shouldn't we spread them around?

That would surely melt the other Legion Worlders' hearts.

Well, we wouldn't want them to think they were toast when it came to butter related puns now would we?

No, and luckily we don't have to worry about anyone here being a breadhead.

Nope, we're too laid back to be obsessed with dough.

Dough Boys is the name of a pizzeria near where I used to live.

The name was better than the pizza.

Every time I read "Dough Boy" I get an image of the giant marshmallow man from Ghostbusters. It makes reading about WWI much more entertaining, if not more accurate.

"The Germans machine gun fire was absorbed easily by the giant marshmallow men as they waddled their way across no man's land."

I liked the first Ghostbusters movie, but I absolutely loved the Real Ghostbusters cartoon back in the day. Especially the episode "Moaning Stones", where Winston becomes the avatar for one of his ancestors in order to fight an evil African god.

I think I've only seen one of those: The Collect Call of Cthulhu.

gosh is that the time? I butter be off to bed. G'night.

Is Cthulhu enough to kill this thread?

Guess not.

I believe the Great Old One plunge from star to star across aeons just to keep forum board threads alive.

I thought it was all about death and destruction.

Or maybe it's trying to destroy my sanity. This thread won't die, die already die!!!!

There's the old RPG gag about what happens when you nuke Cthulhu. He reforms 15 minutes later, but now he's radioactive.

As for the thread, you cannot kill that which is already dead... or undead... or something...

I can think of quite a few RPGs like that. Gah! I already used the mega-uber-final spell on the boss, and it's still alive! Wait, you mean it only makes it stronger and the only way I can beat it is by using that stupid item I picked up on Level 5 that I already tossed because it looked useless???

To be fair to Call of Cthulhu, it's really an exercise in futility anyway if you come anywhere near that sort of thing.

Where your dungeons and dragons groups kill the dragon and cart off unhealthy amounts of loot, the lone survivor of their Cthulhu counterpart group is found freezing to death in the snows babbling about the gruesome demise of his colleagues.

A lot of things like Cthulhu itself are back drops in the mythos of the game, rather than things that you actually get anywhere near. Unless you're a big Brian Lumley/ August Derleth fan I guess.

For ultimate futility, and for good lessons on teaching humility to anyone, there's Paranoia. A game so lethal you start off with several clones that can be whisked into action as soon as your previous character meets a pointless, yet often funny, demise.
