You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

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

Those names are AMAZING. I like DactylicSquash. Among others.

And UntenableSwine sounds like a good epithet. Like, "Goddamn you, untenable swine!"

I'm soooooo using 'untenable swine' now.

I think my favorites are MotivatedGibbon and IrateCheese. Still, you really can't go wrong with any of them (or, rather, you can't help but go terribly wrong with all of them). And yes, UntenableSwine is a great insult.

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

So is IrateCheese

Irate Cheese FTW!

Man, I'm glad I got my name early...

I ended up going, predictably, with PixKristin. I was very tempted, though.

Btw, Pete, do you know how I can merge my gamer data from before I had a live account with this new gamertag?

So, all this ass kicking work is going to earn me enough money to get a platform. I'd love to get an Xbox, since so many of us have xboxes and play a lot of fun games with them, but I also want a Blu ray player, so it's probably going to be a PS3.

At least we'll be able to do some left 4 dead hopefully.

You could have my old XBox if you want it, Sean, but I suspect you'd prefer a 360, right? If you do end up getting a PS3 and would also like an original XBox, you're welcome to it.

Why won't the wii play DVDs? We're going to have to get a device to switch back and forth if we want to play DVDs in the living room again. So lame.
