Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Kill This Thread XVIII - The Debutante Death

Maggie, Terri, and Suzzy Roche once appeared on Tiny Toons as a singing trio of cockroaches.

We’re tiny, we’re toony, we’re all the little loonies...

Gee, Brain. What are we going to do tonight?

The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world.

Yesterday, I remembered the PATB episode where Brain tries to take a day off from failed plans for world rule. He and Pinky try to go shopping for clothes, out for a nice dinner, and so on. Brain keeps encountering bad service, so he calls it out and gets them both kicked out of the various venues. But without knowing it, he inspires several observers to stand up for their own rights, and these anonymous people all think to themselves, "Who was that short guy with the big ears? He fights for what's right! He should rule the country!"

Something else else haunting about that, even decades later.

Speaking of ruling countries, I'm a bit sad about the results of Hungary's latest election. Another government with authoritarian tendencies still in power...

I see it as a bit of a moral quagmire, where no side comes out if it looking very good. Unfortunately authoritarian tendencies come in a variety of guises. Oooh, political. That's definitely going to kill the thread. After the falling outs, tears of rage and flame wars.

Yes, we know people love to hate talking about politics

I'm crazy flowing over with ideas
A thousand ways to woo a lover so sincere
Love and hate, what a beautiful combination
Sending shivers up and down my spine

For every Casanova that appears
My sense of hesitation disappears
Love and hate, what a beautiful combination
Sending shivers up and down my spine

And the lovers that you sent for me
Didn't come with any satisfaction guarantee
So I return them to the sender
And the note attached will read

How I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you

This sounds like something Taylor Swift would say.

The thin line between love and hate vanished forever starting with the age of Usenet.

The great thing about 4chan and its descendants/wannabes is that now any subject can make you a target for horrid insults and death threats. Doesn't matter how seemingly innocuous the subject might be.

Of course, I was an adolescent back when there was no internet. I could be pretty mean and thoughtless. But I like to think that at my worst, I wouldn't have told somebody to go kill themselves, etc.

Watching all the FB uproar unfold right now is making me gloat a little, I admit. I feel like I haven't made many good decisions in this life, but eschewing FB stands out as one of the best, I think.

I really hate people who throw around random death threats. Rarely is any comment so bad that people deserve that kind of abuse... except perhaps for those people who give death threats!

I find it common that people who are quickest to go for the jugular are also quickest to cry when they get back what they dished out. Schoolyard bully syndrome, times 1K.

Take that back cleome or I'm going to give you a bouquet of flowers!

"they began to operate what they called 'The Operation'... They would select a victim and then threaten to beat him up if he paid the so-called protection money. Four months later they started another operation which the called 'The Other Operation'. In this racket they selected another victim and threatened not to beat him up if he didn't pay them. One month later they hit upon 'The Other Other Operation'. In this the victim was threatened that if he didn't pay them, they would beat him up. This for the Piranha brothers was the turning point."

The Sid would prefer a bouquet of flounders.

Some fanmail from a flounder

Ariel's Flounder?

Ariel is one of the code names Kitty Pryde took

Kitty has had so many code names. Like Ayla.

Poor Monica Rambeau changed names so many times...

I wonder which Superhero has had the most codenames?

Dial H for HERO?

I believe that you are correct sir!

Give the man a cigar!

But...but I don't smoke >choke< or in this case >choke free<

I'm hoping "give the man an almond slice" will take off.

Almonds are a bit too small to slice though.
