[quote who="Scoutdog" reply="40188" id="3054854"]Banned because there are some things money can't buy. Power, mostly.[/quote] Banned because you can buy social and political power almost as easily as you can buy electricity or natural gas. How does this line come from the lad who worries that we live in a stealth military dictatorship? That military power is very expensive.
Philocthetes
Banned because all I've seen are pictures. I would love to pat the top of one of those giant heads. Those folks might not have left us any writing to help understand them, but they sure had style.
[quote who="Draakjacht" reply="40165" id="3054485"]baby's momma deity?[/quote] Banned for not knowing about Olmec (possibly religious) art. Their civilization fell only 2500 years ago or so. They made a bunch of really cool-looking stuff, and a bunch of weird baby sculptures, sometimes with helmets. <img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4e/Las_Bocas_Olmec_baby-face_figurine_(Bookgrrrl).jpg/250px-Las_Bocas_Olmec_baby-face_figurine_(Bookgrrrl).jpg"
Banned because it's now time to talk about whole-egg omelettes and ditch all this separatist talk about long dead empires. Except for the Olmecs. The baby-maybe-deity thing there is really interesting.
Banned because egg whites are most associated with painting on dried plaster (tempera paints), not painting on fresh plaster.
Banned because the Egyptians just did frescoes, which don't require eggs.
Banned for a decoupled ban.
Banned because I'm a nowhere man.
Banned for poetryphobia. (It's probably connected to your desire to be a brutal overlord.)
Banned the recent lot of you because you had no poetry power to respond to Rosco. Oh, oh, Rosco How I wish I could do more than dish Or pretend I can do free verse
I metaphysically pre-ordered the game years before it had a street name. Whatever disease I got from WoM seems to have had some partial amnesia as a symptom. Hopefully, I'll have time to try the mass beta before the new folks (yes, that's folks like you Xia) get there hands on it. I'd try cajoling for a fortnight or month for us old guard folks, but I'm more interested in seeing the Stardock game shop gain enough customers to keep on ticking.
You had me doubly-horrified there for a moment, until I read the chunk and saw that it is a parody and won't involve the faces from the flicks. If I felt as strongly about Twitlight as Scoutdog does about Avatar, I might try to see that show. And no, not even paintball fun could get me into a furrie convention. Some of them might well enjoy being shot by Elmer Fudd, and I don't want to encourage them.
Dude, if the twi-twits could sing like the Glee kids, I'd come near to half-forgiving them. But mainly I'm scared about just how many furries were in one spot. I was kinda hoping the whole world had fewer of them than the pic Po' posted...
What, you want a world ruled by militant furries?
/still pining for some kind of 'watch this thread' function on the boards/
Banned because doughnuts should be in the freakin' spell-checker for this post editor and because doughnuts should be dougnuts and if you want a fruit filling, make a turnover or a pie.
Banned because it's disguised as a Sign Out link.
Banned by arbitration.
Banned because digital copies are for everyone, at least eventually.
Banned for contradicting your ban in 39984. Or were you being very silly and trying to wear two hats?
Banned because now I'm wondering what the hat fashion rules are for sitting on the shitter. All hats off? Particular types of hat only? What would Sinatra do?
[quote who="PoSmedley" reply="102" id="3051837"]It weighs less. It didn't have to be as thick as plexiglass or other alternatives. It was stronger.[/quote] Well then why was it only used in aesthetically relevant sections of the piping and not the entire system? (Mind you, I'm not quibbling because I'm some Star Wars cultist or even convinced that all the 'science' in science fiction needs to be as realistic as possible. I'm quibbling because details like that
Banned for ignoring poor Starkers' plea for more tit talk.
[quote who="PoSmedley" reply="88" id="3051120"]transparent aluminum Star Trek IV[/quote] Yes, but WHY ? Gots no problem with the idea of very strong transparent materials. Having the guts of the Enterprise contain some mashup of a brewery and a water park, that is just inexcusable. Now if you flushed some glittery Twilight brats all the way through to whatever dangerous thing needed water cooling, that could be fun.
