Ancient cultures believed that names held great power, personal names
more so and they were guarded very closely. To protect themselves, they
answered to another name, because if another discovered their real name,
it could be used against them.

You need to switch these around, it makes more sense that way.

Or Barbie's.

BTW, I must say that virtually this whole post describes me so well that

Hoo boy. Fond memories, those! I especially remember Celt, Caber, and
Stephanie (possibly my favourite character of the lot). I'm even still
playing the character I played in the IF - how many of the rest of you
IFies are doing that? :-)

(Incidentally, to those of you who remember him, Hamish told me to pass on
a big 'hello'. :-)

That reminds me, I need to start up my meetings of the Anti-Bob Liberation

How about anyone who has refrained from using the word W**ch*ck in polite
company for fear of offending.

I know my name, that's hardly a qualifier. Oh, yeah, that's right -- you
don't, do you? :) I do hope you never find out though, going by a certain
comment Dvixen had a habit of making...

I do that! Which, thanks to the way I tend to look around, has the MPs
freaking out whenever I visit my dad at work. I've sometimes been called by
him "Singlehandedly the worst threat to national security to ever exist."

Me and a few SR friends had a habit of walking around
our campus and pointing out good sniper places. We
stopped when we realized how vulnerable everyone,
including us, was.

Oh, and another for the list: You answer to your list

It's the same as the Tea thread (Bull, one to add to your list: "...you
know what question Blaze asked.") in that it started innocently but got
completely out of hand to be one of the biggest OT threads ever. That's
what all the fuss is about.

That, I don't understand either. It does bring up yet another entry for
Bull's list: "...you know what a droat is." (Or is that already in it?)

I guess so...

Ah, the memories.

When I lived in Sydney a few years ago, on my way to work, I used to walk
past the Alcatel factory (1 Moorebank ave Moorbank) staring wistfully at
the huge flag that they had flying from a huge flag pole, in the center of
this wide open space, behind a security fence with camera's and other toys
guarding the area.

My friends and I, with whoom I used to run, well we always wanted to sneak
in and steal that flag. Just to see if we could :o)

I've actually walked into a building with lots of
cameras and thought "Oh, you could get past the
cameras with improved invisibility, that's easy!
Assuming there aren't any spirits guarding the
building, but I'd check it in astral before I come in.
Wait, what the heck did I just think?!?"

Anyone been to the University of Michigan Campus? I
went there for the first time for a gaming convention
and as we're walking (myself, Chris and his buddies) I
noticed the beautiful old buildings and said how nice
it would be to have wedding pictures taken there (lots
of people do). Chris and his buds immediately started
planning on having the reception there and the sniper
nests that they could build to keep out the party
crashers and just pick them off as they tried to
enter. Needless to say we're not going anywhere near
Ann Arbor during the wedding & the place we do have
for the reception is mostly on one floor, just a
staircase up to the owner's office. I'll not have my
Groom and his groomsmen picking off guests, imaginary
or not. At least not as long as I can't play.

RED GREEN! Man he's cool. Now there's an Ork if I've
ever seen one! My future father in law and my best
friend's dad both look like Red Green, and yes, the
would both DEFINATELY be Orks.

Yeah, you get up into the Bell Tower or the Grad Library and you have a
great field of fire across most of Central Campus. I'm actually in a
wedding next month held in the Michigan League. Maybe I'll talk to the
groom (one of my players) about the need to post some extra security. ;)
