lyrics

He called it this, he called it that
But never what it was
We called it shit, we called it grass
And that's the way it was
He took it once, just for the thrill
He'd bought a ticket to ride

We laughed about, the jokes he told
He was one of the boys
Hey, what a guy, he used to be
When he was sober and dry

Smokey nights, Gloomy lights
He was high as a kite
When he turned into a demon
No way to calm him down
Just like a Jekyll and Hyde

He wasn't bulletproof
Shot himself the final round
No man is bulletproof
It's destination underground

Too many journeys, on acid trains
Too many trips, on the astral plane
Danced with Lucy in the sky
On a cloud of ecstasy
Too late to stop him now
Even sacrifice his mother
Turn against his only friend
To reach the ultimate high

He wasn't bulletproof
He shot himself the final round
No man is bulletproof
It's destination underground
Bulletproof
The chief is your medicine-man
No man is bulletproof
He's gonna drug you down

He thought that he could fly
That he could reach the sky
But he went up too high, oh, so high
He kissed the ground, goodbye

He wasn't bulletproof
He shot himself the final round
No man is bulletproof
It's Destination underground
Bulletproof
The chief is your medicine-man
No man is bulletproof
He's gonna drug you down

Is anyone willing to beta a story I've been working on? I've only got a short chapter so far.

Rob and BA and I have been doing some writing prep in the secret realm to preserve the element of surprise.  Can a brother get an upgrade to the message quota?  Supposedly this is in the usergroup settings for MyBB.

This might be a Firefox issue rather than a forum issue since it seems to have started after the latest Firefox update, but the forum links at the bottom of the page when reading posts is several points smaller than on the rest of the page, to the point where I'm having some trouble reading them.

Something I have been working on the past month or so when ideas strike and gotten a couple other to add ideas that have been added to the fic with permission and credit. The idea of different Taylor worked better for my writing then try to write each idea for length which would never get anywhere. Some of these ideas where pretty much though for triggers and powers I think. I have a few more to add on think I will have to add a new chapter today I think.

This weekend only - donate to the Ottawa Food Bank, get six songs in different genres written and performed especially for this event.

https://www.ottawafoodbank.ca/download-s...rytelling/

And by "different genres", they mean it - one of the pieces is a hiphop/rap/opera fusion. The others are a bit more normal...

EDIT: That hiphop/rap/opera fusion is the only MP3 in the set - the other files are WAV. Gotta love accessibility.

Performers - even folks outside of Ottawa might recognize some of these names:

• Kimberly Sunstrum and Asuquomo
  
• Lynn Miles and Jesse Thistle
  
• Dave Kalil and Maya Spoken
  
• DeeDee Butters and Liam Lloyd
  
• Twin Flames and Rebecca Noelle
  
• Measha Brueggergosman, Notic, and Jay Vernon

Effects may be sticky for reasons other than magic...

Just a short little thing to fill a couple of holes. One prereader complained about Zoom calls making it into our fics... but this is Washuu-chan's software, not Zoom.

I'm trying to recall the name/titles and author of a series of SF books, vintage 1980s IIRC, in which psionic teleportation is an established talent, and some kind of organization trains and employs all teleporters to handle interstellar shipping. The teleportation talent has very strict, very consistent rules -- a maximum mass somewhere just below 1000kg, needing to match velocities between origin and destination using an "elsewhere" full of energy that can be drawn on or added to, and a few other things that all apply to all teleporters equally.

The catch is, the organization conditions/hypnotizes/mind controls its trainees to be very unimaginative with their use of their talent. The protagonist's roommate somehow finds this out and because he can't figure out why anyone would want that he jiggers the device in their room that does this so they're not affected (then disappears from the story, I forget why). So protagonist grows up, gets his assignment, and starts working and making a good living without this conditioning... and when he ends up in the dangerous situations that make up the plot of the books, he realizes just how much of a weapon his teleportation talent can be if he does something like, say, take that just-under 1000kg of air, adds a lot of velocity from the energy space, and drops it on top of the enemy...

Does this ring any bells for anyone?  Thanks.

I thought I'd talk about the Switch Lite I bought and the games I currently have. 
I have a yellow Switch Lite. I feel lucky to have finally gotten one without going to scalpers on eBay. I was going to get the regular switch so I could hook it up to a tv, but the scalpers pretty much buy up every switch just as soon as they are restocked and resell them for $200 over list price. Ended up getting the lite via GameStop in a decent bundle. Buying via a bundle if you are just starting out seems to be the key to getting one right now.

Games I currently have starting with physical copies: Sonic Mania, Super Smash Bros Ultimate, Mario Kart 8 deluxe, Mega Man 11, Street Fighter 30th anniversary collection. Digital games I have: Cadence of Hyrule, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Tetris 99, plus the NES and SNES collections with Switch online subscription.

Smash reminds me of how much I really suck at fighting games. All the platform games show me how rusty I'm at them. I've been playing a lot of Animal Crossing because it is a relaxing game. 

Battery Life is pretty much at what Nintendo advertises. It does get really warm after a long time playing it. 

On my wish list: some sort of stand I could set it on and a controller for table top mode. The built in controls are solid, but can get uncomfortable during long play sessions.
