Subject: Hey! I demand my pound of flesh! (or a pound of pounds,

]From Der Reverend:
Wouldst this be DeReverend for short? If so, I guess when I stop doing
something, then have I been De-Reverend-ed-ed? (*gack!*)

>I call censorship! In the spirit of "the end of gridlock", and since
Billary
]Free the Oppressed (insert group here)!!! Oh, please.
Sorry. I hereby claim my rights as a Munchkin-American. Or possibly screw-
challenged. :-b

>Careful, Doom, or you'll wear that carp out. Then where'll you be? Up a
>creek without a carp. :-(
]Not to worry, mein Kamarad, for if I discover that my carp is becoming
]suceptible to the effects of advanced age or continuous use, I shall
]accordingly enlist the service of a herring...I believe the Knights Who
](so formerly) Say Ni! have one...
'tis a sad day indeed when passing Doctors can thwap Munchkins. And who said
anything about age? I thought that we had all upgraded to the Cyber-carp.

]And a few sports stadiums full of participants inclined to partake in sharing
]the Drain...
And? No worse than the great ghost dance.

>popular radio-show host's colloquialism, "I am demonstrating absurdity by being
>absurd". Or just covering my ass. You be the judge.

]I shall go for Option Two, for 200, please, Alex.
Sorry, Alex doesn't work here anymore. We need to use those people whom can be
recognized by parents, children, and grandchildren alike. Therefore, the
proper phrasing of that request would be "Option 2 for 200, Mr. Clark". And I
hold that I'm demonstrating absurdity.


>How else do you play with a GM who allows humans to carry around Panther
>Assault Cannons as handguns? When screwed, screw back.

](and as Mel the Cook stated--ne'er mind).
On behalf of those who are not quite so literate, the correct phrase is "the
best defense is a good offense. And whilst I'm at it, for making fun of
munchkin-americans, a boot to the head. *B00T*

]the most heinous screws I have e'er had the great misfortune to witness.
Not screws;screws are within the system. Abominations would be a better term.

]I am aware of your Screw Compendium for ShadowRun II (and Munchkins across the
]land wait with baited breath for the second edition, I'm quite certain) and as
]such, my heart and soul leap with joy due to the fact we have changed systems.
How's that? I think the smell of the carp (since you're using the aged ones,
probably pickled) has been getting to you. Screw Compendium for SRII, with a
second edition? And which system change? To SrII from SrII?

]Further, the Dark High Lord has also invalidated more than one screw of
]yours...
And has verified others. Be careful with those blanket statements.

]Perhaps we can all extract wisdom from that...cogitate briefly upon the
]marketing possibilities...mattresses constructed from textbook leaves (pages),
]learn MORE by sleeping MORE...
In that case, certain people (who shall remain nameless) would have 4.3's.
Possibly.

] "...and so, the Universe is completely devoid of inhabitants, and any people
] you happen to meet merely the products of a deranged imagination...MINE!"
Gee, and to top it off, the good Doctor didn't even give credit to the source.
so here it is: --Douglas Adams, Hitchiker's Trilogy

BCNU, The Revered.
