Random brainhurts.

[Dr Archeville]

(18:48:04) Ecalsneerg: So, the new guy at work just asked why there's so much sexual tension in the store.

(18:48:20) Ecalsneerg has no idea how one even answers this question

(18:48:27) Electra: Because all any of you do is handle meat and toss salad all day?

(18:49:10) Supercape: hullo

(18:49:14) Ecalsneerg: Electra... I'd hate you, but that was beautifully executed.

Context: Ecal works in a deli.

This thread has been dormant for too long1

(14:48:11) Sandman_XI: this... could work. if i could find a way to take out the knife

(14:49:10) Raveled: You can never removed the knife... from your heart.

(14:49:22) Raveled: (Because I stabbed you and you're getting weak from blood loss. Hah!)

(14:50:05) AvengerAssembled: Well don't take the knife out, you'll bleed.

(14:50:42) trollthumper: Sand, I know comics try to go for idealized portrayals, but you do know that "homeless" doesn't equal "skater kid," right?

(14:51:04) Sandman_XI: I know

(14:52:55) HG_Morrison: You got skater kid from that? I got wannabe gangster.

(14:53:07) Raveled: I got sociopath.

(14:53:31) Gizmo: I got Eminem.

(14:53:34) Azuth65: I got a rock...

(14:53:44) Gizmo:

(14:54:01) Raveled: ... Zu wins.

[Cube]

(18:06:56) Sandman_XI: oh, and a TV-MA series was on Netflix's "just for kids" tab

(18:06:57) Arichamus: The childrens must be ENTERTAINED! :argh:

(18:06:56) Sandman_XI: oh, and a TV-MA series was on Netflix's "just for kids" tab

(18:06:57) Arichamus: The childrens must be ENTERTAINED!

Wait, now we have a Cubist AND a Cube? But "Cube" is my nickname for Cubist! What am I gonna do now? I'm so confused.

[Dr Archeville]

Cubist is Cube, and Cube is Cu!

[angrydurf]

Cube is copper?

[Cubist]

Cube is copper?

Yes, that green-blooded bastich...

[Cube]

Yes, that green-blooded bastich...

I didn't know. D:

[Raveled]

Vulcans are infiltrating FC PbP?

[Cube]

Vulcans are infiltrating FC PbP?

Nah.

...Well, maybe defective chaotic ones. I dunno.

[Dr Archeville]

(2011.11.24 - 13:57:55) Raveled: Now that Push is moving out of town, he leave the Lazarus to someone?

(2011.11.24 - 13:58:24) Arichamus: Wait, Push is leaving?

(2011.11.24 - 13:59:10) Quinn: No; and I'm not sure if he's moving out of town, or if he's just running the Auto Repair on the quiet now. /shrug

(2011.11.24 - 13:59:17) Quinn: But yeah, I've retired him.

(2011.11.24 - 13:59:26) Arichamus: Oh, okay.

(2011.11.24 - 13:59:33) Supercape: Who is the replacement! 8-)

(2011.11.24 - 13:59:46) Raveled: Push's younger brother, Shove!

(2011.11.24 - 13:59:55) Gizmo: No. Vetoed.

(2011.11.24 - 13:59:58) Arichamus: An oil-swilling robot made out of scrap iron?

(2011.11.24 - 13:59:58) Raveled:

(2011.11.24 - 14:00:09) Quinn: Also, Shove is the Anti-Earth Push.

(2011.11.24 - 14:00:18) Raveled: I thought Pull was anti!Push?

(2011.11.24 - 14:00:25) Supercape: I heard that when Push was in real trouble, he went to his Brother, Shove. If there is real danger, Push comes to Shove.

(2011.11.24 - 14:00:37) Ecalsneerg: ... go die, SC

(2011.11.24 - 14:00:54) Arichamus: SC>

(2011.11.24 - 16:36:54) Sorus: Willow is a monster

(2011.11.24 - 16:37:00) Sorus: She ruined that young boy's life

(2011.11.24 - 16:37:41) Gizmo: Hey, I think Erik has enough agency that we can agree he had a hand in the ruining!

(2011.11.24 - 16:37:57) Gizmo: Although it wasn't the hand that did it. Nudge nudge, wink wink.

(2011.11.24 - 16:38:16) Cube: Was it the stabpunch

(2011.11.24 - 16:38:20) Cube: ?

(2011.11.24 - 16:38:21) Sorus: Heh

(2011.11.24 - 16:38:36) Gizmo: You could call it that, Cube.

(2011.11.24 - 16:39:12) Gizmo: They both tend to be fairly aggressive that way from what we've seen.

(2011.11.24 - 16:39:29) Cube:

[Dr Archeville]

(2011.11.25 - 18:55:24) Cube: Also, is Dok watching us? He quoted a conversation I don't remember him being present for.

(2011.11.25 - 18:55:36) Raveled: Archy is always watching.

(2011.11.25 - 18:55:39) Raveled: ALWAYS.

(2011.11.25 - 18:55:46) Vahnyu:

(2011.11.25 - 18:55:47) Cube is not paranoid, nope.

(2011.11.25 - 18:55:50) Cube:

(2011.11.25 - 18:55:54) Arichamus: The Rednames see ALL Cube. ALL. :shock:

(2011.11.25 - 18:56:22) Scuffles: In that case....

(2011.11.25 - 18:56:26) Scuffles: Gizmo!!!

(2011.11.25 - 18:56:53) Scuffles: (no reason, but he'll totally wonder why I'm all for ages)

(2011.11.25 - 18:57:17) Arichamus: No Scuff! You jinxed it!

(2011.11.25 - 18:57:22) Raveled: Except than he'll read that line.

(2011.11.25 - 18:57:27) Raveled: And know there's no reason for it.

(2011.11.25 - 18:57:43) Scuffles fails.

---

(2011.11.25 - 19:16:02) ShaenTheBrain: And yes, all chat in here, even /whispers, is logged, and any redname can go in and look at those logs at any time. Which DokA does, daily.

(2011.11.25 - 19:16:06) Scuffles: ...

(2011.11.25 - 19:16:16) Raveled: Daily, nothing.

(2011.11.25 - 19:16:27) Raveled: I've seen him pop in when someone invokes the name of Archeville.

(2011.11.25 - 19:16:32) ShaenTheBrain: He literally owns this site. It's his baby. So nothing happens on it without him being aware of it.

(2011.11.25 - 19:16:49) Scuffles: Doc!

(2011.11.25 - 19:17:10) Scuffles won't give away that she's pretending this time.

(2011.11.25 - 19:17:14) Scuffles: ...

:eye2:

(2011.11.25 - 19:17:14) ShaenTheBrain: Heh. Back when I was a Ref, I popped in after seeing my name mentioned in the chatlogs, to answer a question and then log out again, that people started calling me "Chatman."

(2011.11.25 - 19:17:22) Scuffles:

(2011.11.25 - 19:18:06) ShaenTheBrain: I'd just have the logs open in a browser tab, while I was doing like 10 other things. I'd peek at 'em once or twice an hour while I was online. Gave the illusion that I was ALWAYS WATCHING.

(2011.11.25 - 19:18:30) Scuffles: Scary Shaen is scary.

(2011.11.25 - 19:18:45) ShaenTheBrain: http://www.freedomplaybypost.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1961&p=78611&hilit=chatman#p78611

(2011.11.25 - 19:19:13) Raveled: Not the ref we deserve...

(2011.11.25 - 19:19:26) Raveled: "You either log out, or live to see yourself banned."

(2011.11.25 - 19:20:02) ShaenTheBrain:

(2011.11.25 - 19:20:36) ShaenTheBrain can be whatever Freedom City needs him to be. Because he's not a Ref. He's something else...

:Batman:

[Dr Archeville]

(2011.11.28 - 19:38:54) Ecalsneerg: Doktor Archeville, would a thread with a similar premise to JLU's "Kid Stuff" break the "no under 16s" rule, or just bend it?

(2011.11.28 - 19:39:11) Ecalsneerg: (no, he's not here, but you're naive if you think I won't get an answer )

Barely a bend, I'd say; it's a classic Silver Age-esque story, so I'd be all for seeing it on the boards -- especially since I'd love to see this place be more like the DCAU!

(2011.11.28 - 19:39:49) trollthumper decides to give this a try.

(2011.11.28 - 19:39:55) trollthumper: Doktor Archeville, can I have a pony?

Sorry, fresh out, but you may have this fine Each Uisge.

[Raveled]

(18:56:35) Ecalsneerg had an incident once where he hit a vaulting horse at very high speed

(18:56:35) Raveled: Have you ever said "You darn kids!"?

(18:56:44) Ecalsneerg: apparently vaulting horses are meant to be missed

(18:56:52) Ecalsneerg: I was celebrating cos I hit the target.

:wom: :laffo:

[Ecalsneerg]

(16:31:11) Vahnyu: hey, Rav

(17:23:59) System: Raveled logs into the Chat.

(17:34:02) Vahnyu: wb

(17:34:11) Raveled: Shh, shh, shh.

(17:34:13) Raveled: No words.

(17:34:17) Raveled scoots closer.

(17:34:22) Raveled: Let's just... be together.

(17:35:14) Vahnyu: .......

(17:35:27) Vahnyu nods in understanding

(18:23:32) System: Ecalsneerg logs into the Chat.

(18:23:44) Raveled: Hey Ecal.

(18:23:51) Ecalsneerg: No cybering in Chat

[Ari]

Many happy returns!

(Of course, it was actually a little while ago, on account of timezones, but the site doesn't account for those)

[Tiffany Korta]

Shucks :oops: Actually it's perfect for my timezone so ta.

[Raveled]

(20:01:54) Gizmo likes little kids starting at the point when they start taking care of that sort of thing themselves and learn to speak coherently. Has a hard time viewing them as little people before then.

(20:02:08) Gizmo: Luckily, I am friend to the animals as well, but still.

(20:02:42) Scuffles thinks Gizmo will start liking her fairly soon!

From the mouth of babes...

[Gizmo]

(20:04:48) Ecalsneerg will laugh so hard if Gizmo ever gets broody

(20:05:19) Gizmo: Because you feast on the misery of others or for a specific reason?

(20:05:36) Ecalsneerg: I do not feast

(20:05:36) Gizmo: Or do you mean if I get 'with brood'?

(20:05:51) Raveled: Get ya brood on.

(20:06:06) AvengerAssembled: I'd be concerned, then, Gizmo, as I like you as you are, not the slave to an insect hive mind.

(20:06:07) Ecalsneerg: With brood, desiring brood, take yer pick

(20:06:24) Gizmo: Because that would require an entirely hypothetical human female.

(20:07:16) Raveled: Not necessarily. They're doing amazing things with human cloning these days. You'd just need a big incubator.

(20:07:46) Ecalsneerg: And a shotgun.

(20:07:48) Gizmo: Not that big, Rav. I have... ...skinny genes.

(20:07:53) Gizmo: YEEEAAAH

(20:07:56) Ecalsneerg: ...

(20:07:56) Raveled: :facepalm:

[Ari]

As it says, hope you had a happy birthday, and I hope for many happy returns to this day! :toot:

[April]

The site DOES account for timezones. By dismissing all others but the sacred EST.

[Raveled]

(22:09:22) Scuffles: I just think T-babies aren't that scary. If they cause trouble we'll just let the T-dingo army get them.

[Dr Archeville]

(2012.01.30 - 06:28:58) Derin: You know, before I came to this forum, I didn't know who Wally West was or that Batgirl was a thing.

(2012.01.30 - 06:29:10) Derin: I spent $60 on comics today as a random impulse buy.

(2012.01.30 - 06:29:19) Derin: THIS PLACE HAS DESTROYED ME.

(2012.01.30 - 06:29:51) Scuffles: hehe.. I still have horrible comic book character knowledge

(2012.01.30 - 06:30:57) Derin: I have opinions on which Robin is the best and whether DCAU Joker is a better interpretation than the modern movies Joker.

(2012.01.30 - 06:31:01) Derin: WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME.

(2012.01.30 - 06:31:21) Derin: I KNOW THE NAMES OF THREE GREEN LANTERNS.

(2012.01.30 - 06:31:28) Derin: NOT COUNTING SINESTRO OF COURSE.

(2012.01.30 - 06:33:23) Scuffles: I know one of them was Hal and one of them was John.

(2012.01.30 - 06:33:57) Scuffles: And I have a suspicion that one of them was Kyle

(2012.01.30 - 06:34:13) Derin: Then you, too have passed the point of no return.

One of Us! One of Us! One of Us!

[Gizmo]

(02:27:34) Quinn: Hey Gizmo, a question...why Escrima?

(02:27:46) Cube: Night!

(02:27:50) Cube: And why not Escrima?

(02:28:02) Sorus: because nightwing

(02:28:39) Gizmo: Pretty much. I wanted something that showed he was a competent melee fighter but still preferred to use 'tools' when he could.

(02:28:46) Electra: It's a nice balance with Wander's bat, too.

(02:28:57) Gizmo: There is that, yeah!

(02:29:21) Quinn: Aah, I see. Did you consider any other options when you made the char, or was the sticks your first choice?

(02:29:24) Electra: (On Earth XX, Midnight uses a long baton and Wander uses a pair of tonfas.)

(02:29:25) Gizmo: On Earth-XX, Aaron uses a pair of tonfas and Tricia uses a bo staff.

(02:29:31) Electra: Ha!

(02:29:37) Quinn:

(02:29:40) Gizmo: !!

(02:30:03) Gizmo: On Earth-XX, you speak before ninja!

(02:30:35) Sorus: I thought it was: On Earth-XX, :-*

(02:30:42) Quinn: Gadgets are fun, no questions about it.

(02:30:42) Sorus: Or is that just Mark?

(02:30:44) Gizmo: Also true.

(02:31:03) Gizmo: I considered several options, yeah, but settled on escrima sticks pretty quickly.

(02:31:09) Electra: There is less :-* on Earth XX, unless Tricia and Aaron hooked up after the Prime Team's visit.

(02:31:15) Quinn: Bests?

(02:31:17) Quinn: *Bets?

(02:31:46) Electra: Odds are good, if they're going to stay in congruity with Prime.

(02:32:03) Cube: ...What would Pyre-XX be like?

(02:32:08) Quinn muses on Earth-XX Crow.

(02:32:13) Gizmo: Escrima also focuses on improvised weapons and disarming your opponent, both of which felt appropriate.

(02:32:42) Quinn: For one thing, she'd probably be on better terms with her mother...unless the Earth-XX gods are also gender-swapped, in which case the is still there.

(02:32:42) Gizmo: Well, Tricia at least worked up the nerve to make her feelings known.

(02:33:21) Gizmo: They'd have to be, Quinn, because Crow's father is certainly a woman there.

(02:33:25) Electra: And Aaron's had another year to respond to therapy, so hey.

(02:33:52) Gizmo: Well, does Pyre-Prime have two sets of pectoral muscles to go with his arms, Cube?

(02:33:56) Cube: Pyre is kind of like a stereotypical male demon in appearance, except not. So Pyre-XX would either be Brunhilda or a Succubus. And a huge nerd either way.

(02:34:01) Cube: ...

(02:34:14) Cube:

(02:34:17) Cube: :facepalm:
