  1. You can't lose something you never had.
  2. It might surprise you to know that Backtrack started off as a joke too. Specifically, the joke was the idea of creating an entire Epic whose powers and personality all revolved around solving the plot problem we had of needing someone to link Portland with The Dalles.
  3. I just can't ignore What happened on Pottermore When headcanons all fried Tweets of outrage in my stride. I just discovered That Rowling's been criticized Over something rather odd They say her work is all just wrong It just doesn't belong Like it's a part of her world.
  4. "And that is how the Fifth War of the Cursed Tea ended. Next up: Oliver Cromwell as a warlock."
  5. Do you want me to give you a running count of all the jokes we've made that became canon?
  6. 19. Unless reincarnation is real, in which case your guess is as good as mine.
  7. I have absolutely no problem with this. And The Dalles has an anthropomorphic panda bear who sees himself as the prophet of the Radiant Panda, so it'd hardly be the most ridiculous thing to exist in the RP.
  8. Dinosaurs. Nighthound. Transformers. Sausage McMuffins. Nighthound. Bowler hats. Nighthound. Men in Darth Vader helmets riding unicycles. Magicians. Statues. Nighthound. Diamonds. Nighthound. ... ...oh wait, did you mean real-life landmarks?
  9. Frustrated by the current crop of political candidates? Feeling your faith in the American dream dwindling? Worry no more! Vote Starlight Glimmer for 2016, and set this country on the path to true equality!
  10. It's a little dog-tag that has a cross on one side and the words "The TRUTH and the WAY and the LIFE" on the other. I don't have to wear it, but I probably will every now and then to church.
  11. It's the Anglican cultural descendant of the Jewish Bar/Bat Mitzvah, as I understand it. It's a short ceremony by which adults or near-adults officially "confirm" that they accept Jesus Christ as their savior and pledge to take responsibility for their own sins and spiritual walk. Unlike baptism, which the Anglican church conducts on infants, confirmation is supposed to represent a person deciding to become a Christian of their own free will and not simply because their parents and family expect it of them. Now, personally I'd already come to these decisions of my own prayers and meditations at sixteen, so I didn't feel the act of having the bishop officially confirm me into the faith was particularly spiritually edifying to me. But it was a nice ceremony and I got cake and a nifty metal necklace thing afterwards, so I'm happy with it.
  12. Just got officially confirmed as an Anglican last Sunday myself!
  13. "Help! I'm flying and I don't want to!" "Help! I just turned my sandwich to metal and I'm hungry!" "Help! I just lifted something heavy and it didn't strain my muscles at all!" "Help! I just shot myself with a staple gun and it didn't hurt at all!"
  14. There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who smugly denounce Ant-Man for giving an explanation of the hero's power that makes no sense given his demonstrated capabilities... and those who see these incongruities and wonder what secrets Henry Pym is trying to hide by giving a phony explanation.
  15. I think so? After all, Megan still had her weakness even after she'd "claimed" her powers from Calamity. In theory they should all still be susceptible to them.
  16. It's a grittier and less tongue-in-cheek read than the Survival Guide, but definitely worth the time. Yonkers. Never forget.
  17. Of course. Zombies are serious, serious business. That movie was nothing like the book. Noooooooooothing. The zombies weren't even the same.
  18. Ooh, have you read that one? I have both it and The Zombie Survival Guide on my shelf.
  19. You know, Steven Moffat's made public his opinion that the headcanons of Doctor Who's viewers are just as valid as the headcanons of the writer--more so, in some cases, since decades ago the show revealed the Doctor's name was "Theta Sigma" but backtracked out of it when faced with overwhelming fan raspberries. There are a lot of fan interpretations of works that I enjoy even more than the original work itself, so you'll catch no flak from me for actively doing battle with what the author says.
  20. Ah yes. Forgot you were the picky connoisseur of eldritch fourth-dimensional entities.
  21. Well. Um... Twi? Wanna weigh in with any comments?
  22. My brother made a bad pun, which was immediately followed up by a deafening crack of thunder from the storm rolling in on top of us. We're not sure if that was a warning to stop punning or God's ba-dum-tss. ...but seriously, if you don't see me the rest of the day it probably means our Internet service provider got zapped.
  23. Awesome job summarizing everything, Voidus. If I weren't already neck-deep in this madness I'd be signing up now.
  24. I'd read that thread! I'll take it you liked the movie?
  25. Definitely diverted to Quicksilver.
