Kill This Thread XXIX

The following rules were established by Kent Shakespeare 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.

I don?t think I win enough of these. Maybe if we had a 1 hour limit. But that would still give others a chance. Ok it is now a 1 second limit.

Eye've got my I on the prize!

If Tawky Tawny became an Emerald Emperor, he would have the Emerald Eye of the Tiger!

Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger" would be a great song for the Misheard Song Lyrics thread! The lead singer sounds like he has marbles in his mouth.

The Rocky movies were an important part of my childhood!

Rocky (as in Rockhopper Lad) is an important part of Legion World!

He was pretty important to fictional Lardy there for a while, too!

That was sweet

Rocky and Lardy are two of the sweetest people I've ever had the pleasure to befriend.

I completely agree!

Aww!

I loved the Lardy/Rocky relationship.

It's been a while since I've done anything with the Rockhopper Lad character. I don't guess there's a lot of LMB stories written any more. The last major development in Rocky's life was his relationship with the Durlan ambassador, Jorj Zeddle. I expect they are now married and happily living at the Rookery.

This thread is getting sickenly sweet

A tall glass of milk helps make the sweetness more palatable.

A spoonful of bromide helps the pulse rate go down.

I wonder: Do pulsars actually pulsate?

When I was in college in Florida, one of the local stations called their newscast PulsePlus.

The Pulse was Bendis's more-or-less all-ages follow-up to Alias, featuring Jessica Jones. Alias was far superior.

As a kid one of my favorite tv shows was Alias Smith and Jones.

Pulsars don't really pulse or pulsate. They are ferociously spinning neutron stars pouring enormous amounts of electromagnetic energy out of their magnetic poles like spotlights. As the star rotates those "beams" regularly point in different directions so every time the beam points at Earth we see a "pulse" but the beam itself is continuous. Knocks down a dreamy notion but increases fascinating wonder, for me at least.

But when they die, do they go to a Pulsar Star Grave?

They shop at Puls R Us, I hear.

When I was a kid in Massachusetts, before Toys R Us entered the market, the main toy store chain was Child World.

I remember toy stores being everywhere when I was a kid! In malls, in department stores...just everywhere! Now, it seems they are just in Wal-Mart and Target.

When I was a child in Quito, Ecuador in the late 1970s, the biggest toy store around was called "Bebelandia" (rough translation: "Babyland" or "Childland" or "Kidland") It's mascot was a very cute little yellow giraffe.
