Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Kill This Thread XIX: It’s Legal!

Welcome to......

Kill This Thread (XVIII)

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.

The last one felt like it went on for ages. Let's hope this one ends much more quickly. On this post for example.

*gasp* thothy, I’m surprised at you! It’s too soon!

"Too Much Too Soon" is the title of the 2nd New York Dolls album. It's most memorable track, "Human Being" (as in, "I'm a real, live human being") is probably the only song that's ever been covered by both Morrissey and Guns 'n Roses.

Who can forget New York Dolls vocalist David Johansen restyling himself as Buster Poindexter and releasing Hot, Hot, Hot with Bill Murray in the video?

I can’t forget that because I’ve never known of it before

Also in his Buster Poindexter persona, David Johansen recorded what I consider a pretty decent cover of Louis Armstrong's "Zat You, Santy Claus?" And I'm a big Louis Armstrong fan, so I'm not easy to please where interpretations are concerned.

Buster was the name of my first dog

"I'm Buster Brown, I live in a shoe. That's my dog, Tige, he lives there too!"

I remember vaguely a sitcom called Murphy Brown

They are planning a revival of Murphy Brown

Revivals and resurrections don’t just happen with dead comic book characters, folks

"I'm Murphy Brown, my show stank like poo. This is my new show, it'll really stink, too."

Ann Hebistand, president for life of the international Murphy Brown Fan Club and Appreciation Society.

All hail the president!

I'd never wanna rule a land that would have me as its leader.

(The above is a paraphrase of Groucho Marx's famous Real Life quip, "I'd never wanna join a club that would have me as a member," his sarcastic response to being turned down for membership by a country club because he was Jewish.)

Ah, sarcasm. Another thing that flies over many people’s heads.

I once shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas, I'll never know.

The 80s German pop group Nena did a song whose title translates to "The Land of the Elephant." It includes digital synthesizer imitations of an elephant braying.

“Nene” is a term for a young girl in the Philippines

I had Nena's album where half the songs were in German. I liked them including The Land of the Elephant

All i can say in German is “ich bin ein mann”

Michael Mann has directed a couple of movies I truly love: "The Last of the Mohicans", with Daniel Day-Lewis and Madeline Stowe, and "Heat," with Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. The latter is the only movie I've watched three times during its original theatrical run.

The heat in Western and Southern Europe is reaching record levels this summer.

The AC at work is working again. It wasn't yesterday. And even though I had a fan, I left work at noon.
