I had a thought when re-reading Chapter 5. Does the Doublet system work across realities? I mean, a doubletted demon gets killed and thus their matched god dies. What happens to their Overself?
(Also, 67K! Now you just need to double that and we'll have a chapter(ish)...)

This has been annoying me for a few days and I feel the need to complain about it... this seemed like the proper area. Resently Bob's sig has been:

One of the primary differences between the Left and the Right is their attitude toward the Future. The Radical wants the Future to have gotten here yesterday. The Reactionary wants the Future quietly shot and the corpse buried where no one can find it.

Here are some that might be of use to Doug...

I can make anybody pretty.
I can make you believe any lie.
I can make you pick a fight with somebody twice your size.
Well, I've been known to cause a few break-ups,
An' I've been known to cause a few births.
Well, I can make you new friends, or get you fired from work.
And since the day I left Milwaukee,
Lynchburg an' Bordeaux, France,
Been making the bars lots of big money,
An' helpin' white people dance.
I got you in trouble in High School,
But College, now that was a ball.
You had some of the best times you'll never remember with me:
Alcohol; Alcohol.
I got blamed at your wedding reception,
For your best man's embarrassing speech.
And also for those naked pictures of you at the beach.
I've influenced Kings and world leaders,
I helped Hemingway write like he did.
And I'll bet you a drink or two, that I can make you put that lampshade on your head.
'Cause since the day I left Milwaukee,
Lynchburg and Bordeaux, France,
I been making a fool out of folks just like you,
An' helping white people dance.
I am medicine and I am poison,
I can help you up or make you fall.
You had some of the best times you'll never remember with me:
Alcohol.
Yeah, since the day I left Milwaukee,
Lynchburg an' Bordeaux, France,
Been making the bars lots of big money,
(Helpin' white people dance.)
Yeah, I got you in trouble in High School,
But College, now that was a ball.
You had some of the best times you'll never remember with me:
Alcohol; Alcohol.
(Alcohol.)
(Alcohol.)
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
Effect: People within range are immediately 3 sheets to the wind Doug would likely be immune since he's specifically the source of the effect (alcohol).
Or alternatively, he assumes a liquid form composed of ethanol... (fire bad! fire very bad!)

Celebrity
Someday I'm gonna be famous,
Do I have talent, well, no.
These days you don't really need it,
Thanks to reality shows
Can't wait to date a supermodel,
Can't wait to sue my dad.
Can't wait to wreck a Ferrari
On my way to rehab....
Cause when you're a Celebrity
It's adios reality
You can act just like a fool
People think you're cool
Just cause your on TV.
I can throw major fits
When my latte isn't just how I like it
They say I've gone insane,
I'll blame it on the fame,
And the pressures that it goes with
Being a Celebrity
I get to cry to Barbara Walters,
When things don't go my way.
I'll get community service
No matter which law I break
I'll make the supermarket tabloids,
They'll write some awful stuff
But the more they run my name down,
The more my price goes up
Cause when you're a Celebrity,
It's adios reality.
No matter what you do,
People think you're cool,
Just cause you're on TV.
I can fall in and out of love,
Have marriages that barely last a month.
When they go down the drain
I'll blame it on fame
And say it's just so tough.
Being a Celebrity
So let's hitch up the wagons and head out west
To the land of fun in the sun
We'll be real world bachelors
Jackass Millionaires
Hey, Hey, Hollywood
Here we come!
Yeah, When you're a Celebrity
It's adios reality
No matter what you do,
People think you're cool,
Just cause you're on t.v.
...Being a Celebrity
...Yeah Celebrity!
...uh-huh
"Where's my coffee?"
Effect: "I'm a star" field - he can be completely and utterly outrageous (superstar hysteria)... and people will let him get away with it, convinced he's some sort of media superstar and "they do this".
... then again, it may not be of much use to him anyway - he's outrageous anyway.

Online
I work down at the pizza pit
And I drive an old Hundai
I still live with my mom and dad
I 5'3 and overweight
I'm a Sci-fi fantatic
Mild athsmatic
Never been to 2nd base
But there's a whole nother me
That you need to see
Go check out MySpace
Cause online I'm down in Hollywood
I'm 6'5 and I look damn good
I drive a Mazarati
I'm a black belt in Karate
And I love a good glass of wine
It turns girls on that I'm mysterious
I tell 'em I don't want nothing serious
Cause even on a slow day I can have a three way
Chat with two women at one time
I'm so much cooler online
So much cooler online
I get home, I kiss my mom
And she fixes me a snack
I head down to my basement bedroom
And fire up the mac
In real life, the only time I
Ever even been to LA
Was when I got the chance with the marching band
To play tuba in the Rose Parade.
Online I live in Malibu
I posed for Calvin Kline, I've been in GQ
I'm single and I'm rich
And I got a set of six pack abs that'll blow your mind
It turns girls on that I'm mysterious
I tell 'em I don't want nothing serious
Cause even on a slow day I can have a three way
Chat with two women at one time
I'm so much cooler online
Yeah I'm cooler online
When you got my kinda stacks, it's hard to get a date
Let alone a real girlfriend
But I grow another foot
And I lose a bunch of weight everytime I log in
Online I'm out in Hollywood
I'm 6'5 and I look damn good
Even on a slow day, I can have a three way
Chat with two women at one time
I'm so much cooler online
Yeah I'm cooler online
I'm so much cooler online
Yeah I'm cooler online
Effect: Hmmm.... I'm not sure for this one - mainly I put it up because it's a funny song and William Shatner has a guest spot in the
music video.

GUALTIERI'S LAW OF INERTIA:
Where there's a will, there's a won't.

Anyone have this/playing this? I'm hunting for a person I can exchange in-game messages with (you have to do so to activate a few of the side quests), and I figure here is a good place to start.

If you have a DS and you're not playing this, you might want to go look it up, it's a fairly good rendition of the classic formula, so far. Wire Geek - Burning the weak and trampling the dead since 1979Wire Geek - Burning the weak and trampling the dead since 1979

That the world, no, the entire universe is out to get you?
Let's see..kicked out of the we were living in..
Get the job assignment from hell...
round trip travel time of 3 hours minimum (with no traffic)
takes four hours to set-up a field test under containment conditions, 3 hours to run it, an hour and a half to break down the equipment..
And to add insult to injury..someone locks you inside the containment while you're pulling your gear. You spend 10 minutes screaming and yelling for any one to hear you and let you out. You finally broke the door and had a pissing match with the shift supervisor (who first swore that none of his people locked the containment, then changed the story to that , yet his people locked it, but they didn't see me inside when they locked the containment.
I just got out of the meeting with my boss. Heh, the girl can really calm a raging beast...she'd make a great negotiator.

Divergence point: 1926-1927 or so. Walt Disney is treated fairly when the studio he worked for acquired the rights to his "Oswald the Lucky Rabbit" character.
Major consequence: Copyright law is much more calmly enforced, for one, and it's not nearly as restricted. In fact, many of the changes in OTL simply did not happen without Uncle Walt's bitter experience with Oswald causing him to give his company a corporate culture of "no! The rights are MINE! PAYYYY MEEEEEEE! FOREVERRRRR!"
This world's US copyrights expire after 15 years. Disney makes most of its money in this timeline through licensing Trademarks, which have more validity to be owned for a long time than copyright.
As a result, I believe that the pop culture is a lot more vibrant.

Awhile back I read a 4th year (I think) HP fic where Harry pretended to have Shukaku sealed in him, ala Gaara, after he used a sand spell or something to kill some death eaters at the Quidditch World Cup. I'm suddenly taken with the urge to reread it, particularly the scenes when Harry's on the train and all the muggleborns are objecting that Naruto is just an anime.
Anyone know where/what title?

So I was doodling in Illustrator, going over older work, seeing what could be improved, changed, etc. and a few hours later I stopped, idly wondering where the hell the evening went, and was stuck with several different design options.
Problem is, I don't know which choice is best. So on that note, I'm putting the following designs up for a vote:

(not direct linking it, because it's big enough to skew most people's browsers).
Out of these four, which (do you guys think) is the best design?---

Ok, so it's Cindy's birthday time again. Just seeing if anyone was interested in arena fighting one afternoon/night next week. I'm thinking Sunday, Monday or Tuesday. Virtue, Pocket D.

This is a joke. It is only a joke. The plight of homosexuals in Iran is very real in a head-comes-off-your-body kind of way. However, revealing the biases of whack jobs (Ahmedinjad is a very clever, and media savvy man - even if he is bug-fuck nuts) through satire is often the first step in enacting change.

While appearing at an event at Columbia University, President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad was asked a questing concerning the treatment of women and homosexuals in Iran.
Iran, we dont have homosexuals like in your country. He stated, paused and then continued. Your homosexuals cannot compare to the glorious homosexuals of Iran. Each and every one a muscular, vascular, miracle, covered in enticing man-fur. Arms so strong that when they grip you, you feel as if they shall never let you go. Each one hung like an Italian Sausage shop but only beef sausage of course. When they oil themselves up and ask you to wrestle; it is a joy beyond joys.um is it hot in here next question.
