Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

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

DOH! Curse my metal body!

Very well, your metal body is now cursed. Whenever you are asked about your previous work experience, you will only be able to answer them via the Lambada - the forbidden dance.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

no WAY! I didn't log on in time to see it. Apparently my brute made it to the 1024th final!! I now have a ranking of "Desert Batterer". Come, be my pupil! [link]

aaaand then I beat someone with a bear! [link]

(ok, so he had 30 less hitpoints than me. I just got creamed twice in a row. Humble pie tastes awful after you brag).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

ok, so he had 30 less hitpoints than me.

Whenever I see someone with a suspiciously low number of hit points, I assume they have a bear or a wolf.

There are no interrupts for the attempt to debrig Boomer. This is still Dr Baltar's turn, so Apollo 13 plays first. I have COs from both him and Boomer; Staff Sgt Adama, you're up next.

Destiny: 2 cards
Apollo: 1 card
Boomer: 1 card
Adama:
Roslin:
Baltar:

Anything for a weird life.

Apropos of all the Brute talk (and ignoring all the toaster-talk), I did not know until today that trumpets were among the available weapons. Interesting.

What I've been playing recently is a game called Elements, kind of like a web-based Magic: the Gathering. you build a deck and face various opponents, slowly improving your deck and such. [link] Pretty fun, and if you need some help there's a game-specific chat you can go into and ask anything.
