  1. I don't have dreams about school. Might be because schools weren't invented yet.

    Not really. I don't have dreams about school because I slept through most of my classes and don't remember anything about them.

    but really, I don't dream about school because, I'm too busy dreaming about City of Heroes.

  4. Mrs. Peterbilt = Needed a Green Card
    Mr. Peterbilt = Mail order bride.

    ....

    Ok, not really.
    Mrs. is from Switzerland and graduted in the top 10% of her class. The government sponsored her to study Hotel Management abroad for 18 months and so she picked SoCal.
    Mr. moved to SoCal as a kid. One day his friend said they should go play beach volleyball. Eventually he found a nice group of players at the beach who played twice a week on sand and once a week at a high school gym.
    Mrs. was brand new to California and was taking english language classes when she saw the open gym with over 50 players on the court or waiting to play. She decided to ask someone to teach her how to play, since volleyball is such a beach game, and that someone was part of the beach group. Mrs. was sticken with Mr. almost from the beginning. Mr., ... was oblivious. (men!)
    Finally Mr. got the hint, we went out to a play, became serious, he asked her to be his wife in one of the most unromantic ways possible and she said yes.
    Two kids later we will be married for 20 years this July.
  5. I saw the gratz in game but wasn't on long enough to find out why. Big cudos to you Angie and great for bringing the title back to Champion.
  6. That is all very helpful. Thank you all. I think I have someone who will help me with my base.
    Have a great weekend all

    Yea, that old stadium, they never did anything there.
    What a dump it must have been.

    good to know. that helps a lot.
  11. Went to sleep last night with a dull pain in my neck, which I thought was just a pulled muscle. Hardle slept at all and now ...

    Fried food? <insert barfing smiley here>


    Can one of the chefbots double as a janitor?

    (there was no actual hurlage in this post. All hurlage was for dramatic effect and no hurlees were harmed in the making of this post. [no sickage yet, but sure feels like it's coming])

But will losing in the playoffs actually stop a new stadium from being built? Unless the owner is going to move the team to L.A. or something if he doesn't get a new stadium, I think you guys are out of luck.

    The baseball stadium, which is beautiful and I am a big fan of, only got built because the team went to the World Series. Without that winning run, it almost certainly would not have passed the ballot measure. Many people in San Diego believe (and only if he have a vote will we know if it's most or not) that the owner should pay for the bulk of any new stadium. But if they win a SB there will be huge sympathy from the voters and the City to throw money into the deal. Already talks of building a stadium in Oceanside, about 30 north of downtown, have fallen apart for an idea to put the football stadium next to the baseball stadium - on municipal owned ground. The City would at the minimum have to relocate the bus and trolley depot.

    So, will losing in the playoffs stop a new stadium? Maybe not. But will the likelihood increase that the owner will have to chip in a larger share of the cost? IMO, almost certainly.

  14. I don't think I'm being too cautious when I didn't immediately allow someone I just met base editing privilages. I've heard many stories where bases are robbed, so, here is my question to you all.

    I've check my bins (there aren't many) and there really isn't anything there that would kill me to lose (after picking up one stored receipe.) So say this person, instead of helping with base design, robs me, what can I lose?

    They can take the inspirations - no big loss.
    There are a number of low level enhancements - again, no big loss.
    Trashing the base by selling everything would lose the salvage used to build the teleporters and scrying mirrors - all not too costly.

    Am I missing anything? They have a great base and offered to help redesign a few problems. Any other hazards or cautionary tales would be appreciated.
  15. Well I've narrowed it down to about 12 teams ....

    Most likely -
    AFC - Chargers since they seem to have Indy's number.
    NFC - Harder here. I'd love to see the Vikings sneak in there somehow but the Cowboys and Saints will be tough to beat. Saints seem to forgotten how to win so looks like Cowboys are most likely.

    Finals - Romo v. Rivers. I'm rooting against the Chargers also because of the new stadium/tax thing that Cien mentioned but can only see them beating themselves, not someone beating them.

    Lies! ... uh, wait. That would make more sense than a hero killing me. But then, why did the hero have a knife? hmmm

    *rummages around for the security camera film*

    It seems to be missing.

  18. Hello Everyone. Hot enough for ya?

    I think this is all my fault. Despite multiple warnings, I went to a Hami raid ... and had fun. I think one of the other heroes killed me though because one second I was in the goo and the next I was teleported out and died. Hmmm. unfortunate.

    So when do we get attacked by the giant, mutant cockroaches?
  19. Robo posting over in Champion? Cel, you REALLY are in trouble.

    Oh, and I think Bitey FBBC came home with Purple FBBC one night...

    Always knew the Purple FBBC was a tramp. It'll bring home anything.

  21. That's Sunday, right? Whew. Thought it was Monday for a minute and was wondering what my clients would think.

    Not sure it is appropriate for an angel to wear a hamikini. Maybe the Lord will make a special dispensation for the one day.
