Quote:The woman crossed her arms and waited, listening to Kip as he had his rant. When he was done, she lowered them and started checking points off on armoured fingers."No! I'm not calming down! People usually do a decent job of fleeing the scene of a dangerous monster fight on their own! This Kheldian seems to think we should shuffle the 'powerless masses' away, as they're already fleeing, and let this lunatic have its way! Why? Because it's a whale?"
"Well, they do have bigger brains than we do..." his girlfriend murmured.
"One, there were plenty of people stuck in the water and unable to get clear. Your duty should be to making sure they get to safety first, no?"
"Two, how many whales do you know of that are psychic and telekinetic? Just because something LOOKS like a whale, doesn't mean it IS, right?"
"Three, which is best? Kill something the instant it shows you any aggression? Or at least TRY to find out why it's attacking, and maybe even disable it instead? How typically American."
"Four, since when do heroes kill anyway?"
"Oh, and five, the name's Tiger White, not Kheldian, pleased to meet you." -

Quote:Yes, I know this NOW, but at the time I didn't plus, it wouldn't have made much difference as that char is always broke thanks to Icon.You didn't actually save any money by listing it for less. The listing fee you pay is refunded in full when the item sells; you only lose it if you cancel the sale.

Quote:My only beef with Germans is with the buggers who continually hog all the sunbeds at Spanish resorts!Yet I still have to put up with some ***** going 'you owe me cause your grandpa gassed my grandpa' now and then. Which usually ends... badly.
Getting up at 6am to sneak down to the pool, collect all the towels "reserving" the sunbeds that were placed there at about 2am, and chuck the lot into the pool is a pain! -
Quote:Oh I dunno... Some of the dross coming out of Hollywood these days has almost made me want to swallow poison, if only just to make it stop!Well you're entitled to your opinion of course, but I disagree, and think that comparing the movie industry to swallowing poisons is a little extreme lol.
I swear, some of them are even so bad that not even the pirates bother with them!! -
Quote:Yeah, but he ALSO destroyed a 14 year old girls faith in people AND betrayed a whole load of his friends.Hey he's not THAT crazy...well alright he is that crazy.
He bought the world the Walkie-talkie toaster though, it walks, it talks, it toasts bread products...I mean come on...how can someone not love a man that does that.
Not to mention bringing up Chronodyne...
Let's face it, Doc. The doc is a grade A jerk. -
Some time ago, before the days of purples, I picked up a high value drop from a mission. Can't remember what it was offhand, but I clearly remember that, in the AH, it had never sold for less than 45 million. There were no sellers for it at the time, and about 230 bidders.
"Awesome", thinks I. "Money in the bank!!"
So, to maximise my profit, I listed it for 5k. Seeing as the AH is meant to work on the principle of the highest bid winning, I was pretty much guaranteed to make a killing on it.
20 seconds later, it sold!
For 7.5k.
I don't play the market anymore. -

Quote:Maybe it's because he's a raving madman who's even MORE unhinged than Dr Aeon.I'm always disappointed nobody hits on Dr Mechano though...hey just because he's a male elderly mad scientist (cutified in my avatar) doesn't mean he don't need lovin'!
Oh, and coupled with the fact that he spends half his time looking like a reject from a bad horror movie starring Keanu the Plank. -
Eww... You don't actually BUY that stuff do you? Get your backside over here, I'll make you some fresh REAL mayo, not that manky swill they stick in jars...

Quote:You'd think so, but you're wrong.
There's a strong Jewish lobby over here which likes to play the Holocaust card everytime they don't get their way. Likewise, some Israeli governments have liked to do so whenever they had a political agreement with the German state. Which, amusingly enough, leads to a certain amount of resentment towards Jews on the German side. Maybe cats and dogs really can't live in peace.
The irony there is that Germany probably has the strongest anti-holocaust denial laws in the world! -
Down on the beach, the black & white clad Peacebringer, unable to hear Luminescence's telephathic broadcast due to her psi-blindness, nevertheless spotted her approach and waved to her before turning back to the guy trying to pick her up.
"Look, either make yourself useful, or get out of people's way, alright?" -
Quote:Oh, I surely DO remember you, and vaguely, the disagreement about that audio comic.Im sure the likes of FFM here can easily fill you in on example after another. And I can tell you as someone I recall from my old EU days he is a posrter name I remember as being worthy of respect. (Told you twice now have a good memmory... though I dont think FFM< remembers me and a particular spat I had with a poster named Colluseum when pitching an audio comic idea).
I was wondering actually, how come the new account? Oh, and welcome back. -

Quote:The young woman's head snapped around to look at Kip, and she didn't look impressed. "So, that's good enough reason to disregard the fact that you're fighting on a beach full of innocent people, and even kids, is it? That's enough reason to drop the thing into the ocean and cause a mini tidal wave is it? Nooooo... You morons just see something that looks different to you, and instead of taking a defensive course FIRST, you just drop everything and try to KILL it. Riiiight. Because that's the way heroes are meant to do things, gotcha.""Ugh..." the young man groaned as he jabbed a finger into his ear and screwed it around in there, "Buddy, this cetacean just attacked us without provocation. I don't care the justification, it's a mad beast and had to be put down. We'll settle with the rest later."
Sighing, she turned away from kip and spotted a woman not far away in what looked like a very familiar uniform. She was about to step towards her, when she felt the tingle of another Kheldian, and she turned instead to look at the approaching man.
Quote:"Let's go say hello, Squid."
"Finally, a polite conversation. Maybe now I can learn about human-Wait, these are the same thoughts you were thinking about the females playing volleyserve!"
"Volleyball, Squid. And trust me, it's a just cause."
"A 'just cause' would be contacting the forementioned app-"
"Enough with the stupid authorities! Geez Squid!"
"I'm just trying to apply logic to the situation."
"You don't listen do you?"
The answer to that was lost on Michael as he approached the woman, smiling widely. "Hey there," he said smoothly "Nice day on the beach, huh? Maybe we should go for a swim." The thought of electricity in the water hadn't yet dawned on him.
She started to turn away, the energy crackling around her body clearly NOT electrical in nature but instead an intensely powerful form of raw Kheldian light. -

Quote:Coors?Who's sending you the 'American' beer? Miller is owned by SAB Breweries located in England. Anhueser-Busch is owned by InBev, which is a Belgian/Brazillian conglomerate. That means the only 'American' beers are now local microbreweries that won't be seen in the EU

I've actually spoken with Avatea about this via PM's now, and whilst revealing PM content with mods is generally frowned up, I don't think I'm breaking any rules when I say that she's allayed my fears and assured me that it was the combination of name and avatar that was the problem. The name on its own appears to be fine.
So, good news!
I shall now climb off my high horse and get back on the penguin.
