Err... (digging in my Troll Sam's video collection while he's out

his name was Tito. And I believe the quote is "CHAIN me to the wall".

Attractive and/or tragically hip. :) Truth told, more than half our
group has thier tounges peirced! I'll avoid going further south in
public mail...

Heres a relevant quote I remeber, but couldn't find a source for: "You
gotta have chrome, real chrome deap inside, not cheap shinny platic add
ons..."
I SWEAR its shadowtalk, but can't find it as of now.

DAMN! I get my posts sent off, thinking I have an original "joke", and
then I see this... digest is nice, but I'm lossing all kinds of edge.

BTW, as far as pierced ears go, I may have discovered the ultimate SR
jewely; with a little patience, a (well healed) ear peircing can be
stretched a great deal (you can add multiple thin hoops to one hole,
then get one thick one, then repeat).
That done, an empty shell casing (aluminum or plated- NOT plain brass)
makes a very nice plug for the stretched hole- the kind with flanges
from revolvers work well (because they can't slide completely through),
but ones form automatics also tend to "grab" in the notched section and
work OK. I used to wear .357 magnum aluminum or 9mm nickle plated brass
this way, but never made it up to .45 cal. I can still wear .22
rimfire, but its almost always plain brass.

Or one of the magician's assistants for the swords in the basket trick. :)
I seem to be very OT today. Not good.
Hmm...wait I can bring this back to shadowrun.....I wonder if present day
style illusionist and magicians would still be around, or would they have
been totally replaced by the "real" thing.

One of my players wanted his character to be able to do "magic" tricks, so
we gave him a Special Skill that allowed him to do that. For generic magic
tricks we rolled an open test just as for musicians (see Shadowbeat),
while for specific things like making something disappear or appear
from/in his hand, I let the player roll against a TN based on how
difficult I (with my absolute 0 knowledge of how such tricks are done)
thought it would be.

I think the only useful thing the character ever used it for was to
distract a bunch of people at a UB soup kitchen so someone else could
slip into the building unnoticed.

Heh..after watching lots of TV specials, reading various books, and
talking to a few friends who are into that sorta thing, I've come to
the conclusion to be a magician you need 3 things.

1) An attractive flexible female
2) A set of twins who are flexible and attractive.
3) To be fairly dextrous, and have a good stage prescense. :)

With real "magic" this would get even easier. :)

Perhaps in the novel "Never Deal with the Dragon?" Can't recall, it
was one of those

If nothing else, this proves she's really a female, and not some 14 year
old pretending to be a girl on the internet :]

No woman ever thinks she's attractive, and either way, a guy would never
claim to be a short, fat, ugly woman... (And I'm sure you exagerate,

I guess one way to find out is to have children :) If you get six to eight
at once, you're A) an ork, and B) world famous instantly. With only one,
you're probably a dwarf :)
