Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

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

Just like Boomer to swoon for everyone. Let's see who she sleeps with this time.

TOOOOORN BETWEEN TWO LOVERRRRS
FEELING LIKE A FOOOOOL
WISHING THERE WERE TWO OF ME
DOUBLE DATING WOULD BE COOOOL

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Boomer's singing. She must be a Cylon!

My perfect pitch is a dead giveaway, along with my crazy computer hacking skills, flawless skin and violet eyes.

Cylons are total Mary Sues.

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

BSG

If we can hear her, then she's not. If she hears music we can't, *then* she's a toaster.

What, you couldn't hear that?

Um. By which I mean, quite right. See? Human after all.

Sorry guys, I tend to check online during the day and y'all are clearly an evening crowd. I'll get on board as best I can.

I'm putting in all the cards I've got: Purple 1 and Purple 3.

(Tigh'd just drink away the last card if I only put in 1 anyway. Mmm, fermented skill cards...)

Thanks DQ. No problem. The goal is within 24 hours. Sooner means faster game play, but we know, we can't live on the board 24/7. Although CO's are always welcomed!

With that, an update total

Hangar Accident

Destiny: Y3, R3

Tigh: P1, P3

Running tally: 7 (Fail)

Chief indicated the only thing he could contribute was the open face sandwich part of lunch. For the next course, we look to Apollo.

Mr. CAG? Sounds like he's humming something from Peter Pan, he keeps repeating the line "2nd star to the right, and straight on until morning". I think that boy listens to show tunes way too much. Frakkin joyriders. There is a battle going on out there!

I don't really have anything to give to this fight. I play no cards.

Congratulations nuggets. You just passed your first Crisis Card. How does it feel? Wanna hit the showers? Well, you can't. You got some flying toasters! As much as you wish it was a screen saver for the DRADIS, it's not. Those blips are bad guys. And oh look, that mother ship has given birth to the cutest little Heavy Raider. Boy it's a chubby baby. Looks nothing like the mother. Judging by the boxiness of it, I'm guessing it's the milkman's kid. And for passing the check, the card says you get NOTHING. Bwahahaha! Love it. Like Christmas opening an empty box. But if you don't get your pockets picked, I guess you get the gift of not losing anything, right. Except all those pretty cards. Can't help but look at the card collections and see some empty hands. Should make the next check fun!

So, we add a heavy raider into Sector 1. We advance the Jump Track one step. And that's about it.
