Welcome to......

Kill This Thread XXXII

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.

Not only do I not feel any older, I feel like shouting,

"I'm so young, I'm so f***ing young!"

Age is just a number!

Age of Apocalypse was the last good X-Men Event...hell, the last good Marvel Event.

I don?t think any current crossover event is any good.

Ann's quote a couple of posts ago reminds me of James T. Kirk's final line in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan: "I feel....young!" Such a great film with a number of themes paying off throughout. It is deservedly revered.

I quite liked it!

I like "Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan" a lot, too! It shows how honest craftsmanship and fidelity to the source material are the best way to go.

It's kind of like with fanfic and fan art. You can often feel/see the love the artist/writer has for the source material.

Ricardo Montalban did a fantastic job as the obsessed villain.

I can imagine that playing a villain may be cathartic. It's an opportunity to act in ways that are not socially acceptable... and to let out a lot of pain and aggression.

Writing villains is equally cathartic.

I like the rich Corinthian leather

Kirk was just lucky he didn't bring Tattoo along with him.

What would Tattoo have done? Annoy the whole Enterprise crew to death?

I think there was an X-Man student called Tattoo once.

Ha! Think of any reasonable sounding codename (or even an unreasonable one) and there was probably an X-Men student named that once!

"Tinsel. Go with Teaspoon and Y-Front, and get the jump on those evil mutants."

Y-Front?s powers intrigues me

He's good at containing large, unruly objects.

Especially ones straining to burst free.

Starburst candies are yummy, but terrible for one's teeth.

Other than chocolate, I pretty much avoid all candy for just that reason.

Chocolate is my only candy these days as well.

Candy Everybody Wants was a spiffy single from 10000 Maniacs.
