Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Kill This Thread XVII

Always wanted to commit thread-i-cide? Well, this is the place for YOU!!!

Welcome to......

Kill This Thread (XVII: the-one-almost-old-enough-to-vote-but-old-enough-to-watch-dirty-movies-edition)

The following rules were established by Kent at the start of the first 24-hour version, adapted from the original rules by EDE:

The rules:

1. The Basic Idea: Post to this thread, if no one posts after you for 24 hours, you win!

2. Posts that are not direct responses to one of the five preceding posts are ineligible to win. The topic can drift, but no complete non-sequitors. Posts that are responses to non-sequitors are also ineligible to win. Posts that are responses to responses to non-sequitors, and response nses to those posts, etc., become eligible, however.

3. In the event that this thread is locked, there shall be no winner unless a new thread is started for the contest. Furthermore, any post that results in the banning of the poster shall also be ineligible to win.

4. So, more precisely, one wins if one makes a post, and then no one makes another post that's eligible to win for 24 hours.

Now, let's get to some serious thread murder....or you could just not post and leave the deed to me again!

Ah, but you will appreciate it more if there is a fight for it!

Think so?

Will this be a tickle fight?

That could give one of us a unfair advantage if one happens to be invulnerable to tickles!

Gasp! now it’s down to a tickle fight!

Wouldn't both the tickler and the ticklee be unable to post while the tickling is going on?

Gosh, that leaves this thread wide open!

Yeah! All you others need to get in a 24-hour tickle fight...starting right now!

Hahahaha... oh... can't stop laughing...

So Ibby can still post while laughing deliriously......

I am good At multi-tasking!

They say that we don't really multitask so much as we do small bits of different tasks one right after the other.

True. It’s very difficult to actually concentrate on two tasks at the exact same time.

There is also a time delay when we switch from task to task, and this accounts for a lot of the extra time that we need to accomplish things when “multi tasking”

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.

So, what you're saying is....it's time for lunch?

Nobody gets a free lunch.

I missed breakfast so can we make it a brunch?

I missed lunch. Can we have linner? (Or is that lupper? )

I’m not really sure what supper is. I always just use dinner.

For me, supper was the main meal of the day, eaten in the evening. Dinner is the main meal of the day, but eaten mid-day and usually on Sunday.

Oh! So dinner is like lunch?

No, lunch is usually a lighter meal,- lots of times just cold sandwiches. A dinner is a hot meal - meat & vegetables that you need a knife and fork to eat.

Oh, that’s interesting. I was raised to have only “snack” as a generic term for a lighter meal like a sandwich. (in the Philippines was say it is “merienda”)

Then breakfast, lunch and dinner for the three main meals of the day

Supper and dinner were also cooked meals, whereas breakfast and lunch were not cooked meals.

Breakfasts around the world are interesting. The French make do with some bread or croissants. In the Philippines, it's not a proper breakfast without rice (usually fried rice), eggs, and an assortment of meats.

In the American South supper and dinner are usually the same thing. Breakfast, lunch and dinner/supper can all be cooked meals or not. Dinner or supper, though, is always a cooked, sit-down meal.

Now I am just plan hungry. Let's just call it blinner.

time for blinner! though i’m afraid three blinners a day will make us all very fat

I'm not fat. I'm just big boned.

So's a stegosaurus, Giganta!

Ha! Used to be my catch phrase as Lard Lad!

Must say, though...I'm a bit mystified by the stegosaurus/Giganta comment. I mean, are you calling Ibby "Giganta"?

I’ve never been called Giganta before. At least not by non-Asians

The stegosaurus (my favorite dinosaur by the way) and Giganta bit - actually the whole bit was from one of Judy Tenuta's routines. She was talking about her roommate Blowsane

Blowsane. What an exotic name.

She was 2'8", 500 pounds, and smoked. She was like a planet that smoked.

We should introduce her to Mogo

I am sure that Mogo prefers non-smokers

There should be some slashfic with Mogo and Ego the Living Planet hooking up!

Is the universe ready for more sentient baby planetoids?

Perhaps Ego and Mogo would use protection.

Do hero/villain romances ever work out?

I'm tempted to say Batman/Catwoman, but I stopped liking Batman in the late 90s.

OTOH, the Earth-2 Batman/Catwoman hero/villainess romance worked out...at least in the sense that Selina really did reform, and their daughter, Helena Wayne aka Huntress was awesome.

Then again, Earth-2 Selina and then Earth-2 Bruce both died horribly, leaving Helena and orphan...and then there was that damn Crisis on Infinite Earths...

AAAAAARGH!

Happy endings sure are rare.

I was on a walking tour in Prague, learning about the history on Charles Bridge and at the Castle complex. A Turkish lady in the group says, "Why are all the stories so sad?"

I love visiting graveyards. They make me think.

You should have told me and we could have gone into the one I showed you.

"You Showed Me" is my favorite Turtles song.

I never had a pet turtle.

Happy Together

The Turtles


Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night, it's only right
To think about the girl boy you love and hold her him tight
So happy together
If I should call you up, invest a dime
And you say you belong to me and ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be, so very fine
So happy together
I can't see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue
For all my life
Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together
I can't see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue
For all my life
Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together
Ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba
Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together
So happy together
How is the weather
So happy together
We're happy together
So happy together
Happy together
So happy together
So happy together (ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba)

That song is making me cry

Don't cry for me Argentina

Argentina's equivalent of cowboys were known as "gauchos".

I somehow managed to go on a date with an Argentinian gentleman who spoke very little English. It was quite a test of my Spanish.

I took 2n years of Spanish in high school and two more semeseters in college. Not even close to fluent.

Awwww, don't worry about not being fluent in Spanish, Lardy. We'll always have El Chupacabra.

We have an El Chupacabra here in Manila. Great tacos!

Across from my office there used to be a taco place. Pedro's Tacos.

I love tacos!

I love al pastor tacos.

Tacos son muy deliciosos

Taco Bell is both delicious and highly recommended if you're having troubles with constipation!

suger-free gummy candy does it for me.

"Sugar, Sugar" was the big hit by the Archies.

My mom had a cassette tape with that song on it

Ah...cassette tapes! I don't know how much this was exaggerated, but I've seen headlines that imply that cassette tapes and players have made a comeback because of the popularity of the Guardians of the Galaxy films. Not sure if this is true, but I doubt it's more than a tiny niche comeback that probably far trails behind the enduring appeal of vinyls in certain circles.

Indeed. I can understand a few super-Starlord fans who might want to use those tapes, but come on! There's a reason cassette taps and floppy disks have given way to better technology...

And cassette tapes are much harder to use than vinyls, too.

But you can rewind a cassette tape with a pencil. Try doing that to vinyl.

I wonder if anyone reading that will try it

I don't think cassette tapes will make a comeback. Vinyl at least has the appeal of the beautiful album art and relatively easy storage since they're so thin. I don't know what appeal cassette tapes hold.

Plus with cassettes, it was impossible to find a particular song unless it was the first song.

I feel the same way about floppy disks: good riddance

Feelings! Nothing more than feelings.

Sticks and stones

Styx and Stone were two rather forgettable Spider-Man villains co-created by none other than Todd McFarlane. Good thing he has the Venom thing going for him.....

I think this TV version of Spider-Man blows its contemporaneous Amazing Friends show out of the water, but no one I know seems to have ever seen it:

I always felt sorry that Peter had to endure so much. J. Jonah Jameson, troubles at school, Aunt May's biting disapproval of Spidey...

But man those wheatcakes....

A lot can be forgiven for good food

So how many of these threads did I win for being away for a month? I'm sure Ibby said that's how it worked...

I think you won a different prize, thothy

Was it a 'Sir' Prize?

I've been knighted! Arise Sir thoth, but pick up your lopped off ear on the way.

You and van Gogh?
