So why did the amount of posts dropped from 50+ a day to 0 a day?

Because on the weekend, the Woodchuck hurlers find other things to do ...
like bury themselves in their dens ... or somebody else's... as the case may
be.

People decided to go out and enjoy their weekends? I don't know, I'm
stuck working this weekend.

Come on, the Woodchuck lobbers can find the time to sneak a peep at their
mailbox! Is it the National Woodchuck Tosser's Congress again? Because I
would understand if everyone was to busy to check their mailbox if it was
the weekend of the Holy Congress.

Phew, I thought that was a problem at my end. I guess there is only so much
you can say about woodchucks.

Darn right!! Let's just say that they can chuck wood, and leave it at
that....

ALthough, I was wondering, can a woodduck duck wood that has been chucked
by a woodchuck?

That would have to depend on whether or not the woodduck had any combat
pool left. If it didn't, then it wouldn't have a snowball's chance in
hell.

What chance does a snowball have in hell? I mean, really. Surly it could
be put in the freezer or something. Amd surly the Devil would have a
freezer, after all how else would he keep the beer for the English to drink?

Unfortunately, there is no known reason for the devil to keep snowballs,
so it wouldn't be likely to be kept in the freezer. In this way, it would
have to roll its body (probably 1) against the heat damage caused by hell
(any takers on guessing this?). And of course a snowball would probably be
screwed even if it made its body check.

Besides which, there isn't any temperature differentiation in hell (email
me privately for the proof), so the devil can't have a freezer to keep the
beer in. And of course, this would also preclude the brits swapping beers
with the Americans (note that any beer served in hell would, of necessity,
have to be american anyway, for obvious reasons).

Ehhh. I'm pondering how much wood a woodchuck could chuck if said woodchuck
had muscle-augmentation 2, quickness 6, strength 6, and wired reflexes 3, as
well as backing from the NSA.

Unfortunately, I also owe Bull for something, so I can't let you in unless
you check your weapons at the door...

(You'd almost think all this was planned in advance, wouldn't you, what
with the two people who are principly responsible for this recurring
thread safely hiding away? Maybe it was, too... *grin*)

Caric eases open the door on the stairs munchiing loudly on his wafer
cookie. He's forced to take a step back from the oozing, Carpilated
body of Phil. With a snort and a shrug Caric retreats back into the
bunker and closes the barrier. From within you hear an echoing
voice..."Bull door's for you."

What would the damage code on a Carpinator minigun be? What about recoil?
Any bells and whistles? I mean it would have to be at least enough to
splatter the cyberzombie woodchucks before they could get their tiny

Unless you get a really well done translation where the translator took a
lot of liberties, it is an intensely dull book. It is cool how everyone
Dante doesn't like in real life is tormented in hell in the story though.
