What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Lose 1 Morale and put you in Detention? Frak that noise. I play IC-3.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG (Boomer)

If we're going for it, I'm doing all I can.

I play JR-1.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

BSG

You played the JR-1 on a previous check. You don't have it anymore.

I wish to chare this, because it made me laugh and laugh. I've been looking through Mark Watches Battlestar Galactica, and at one point he states that Cylons are "the honey badgers of space, basically."

The first comment:

THE HONEY BADGERS WERE CREATED BY MAN.

THEY REBELLED.

THEY EVOLVED.

THEY LOOK AND FEEL HUMAN.

SOME ARE PROGRAMMED TO THINK THEY ARE HUMAN.

THERE ARE MANY COPIES.

AND THEY DON'T GIVE A FUCK.

Take a guess who it's from.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Take a guess who it's from.

Correct! It was the all-caps that gave it away, wasn't it?

Meanwhile, everyone passes on interrupts, so we can begin the check. Starbuck is up first. There's an IC in effect, so everyone, play your cards face up.
