We have, what appears to be ALL of the topics back.
Downside, they all seem to have only the first post. Or it may be me.I'm the Doctor by the way. What's your name?
Rose.
Nice to meet you, Rose. Run for your life
Doctor Who: Ep 161
*********************
In the epic rage of furious thunder
legends create their tales
when the twilight calls and the dark lord falls
our glory will prevail

Say your prayers, little one
Dont forget, my son,
To include everyone
Tuck you in, warm within,
Keep you free from sin
Till the sandman comes
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never never land
Somethings wrong, shut the light,
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they arent of snow white
Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragons fire
And of things that will bite
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never never land
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
I pray the lord my soul to take
Hush little baby, dont say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
Its just the beast under your bed,
In your closet, in your head
Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Were off to never never land
-- Metallica, Enter Sandman

Montage (Team America OST)
The hour's approaching to give it your best,
and you've got to reach your prime
That's when you need to put yourself to the test,
and show us a passage of time
We're gonna need a montage! MONTAGE!
Ooh, it takes a montage! MONTAGE!
Show a lot of things happening at once,
remind everyone of what's going on!
And with every shot show a little improvement,
to show it all would take too long!
That's called a montage! MONTAGE!
Ooh, we want a montage! MONTAGE!
In anything that we want to know,
from just a beginner to a pro
We need a montage! MONTAGE!
Even Rocky had a montage! MONTAGE!
MONTAGE!
MONTAGE!
Anything that we want to know,
from just a beginner to a pro
We need a montage! MONTAGE!
Ooh, it takes a montage! MONTAGE!
Always fade out in a montage
If you fade out it seems like more time has a passed in a monage
Montage
The effect would probably be that the target person becomes an expert in what ever he/she needs to do during the duration of the song.What if: Chibi Usa, Veteran Speznas Ninja Commando From Hell(tm)?

The Talking Heads' (Nothing but) Flowers. (lyrics)
At first glance, the song looks like it could be useful. However, Doug's smart enough to see the problem with it... (It's in the FAQ.)
So, somebody plays the song where Doug hears it, and suddenly everyone's standing around buck-naked, covered in flowers, in a field of flowers. Silverbolt wouldn't care, but everyone else would be at least annoyed. And Doug would need a replacement helmet - hope he had the entire memory backed up somewhere.
Of course, there's the question of how the song's going to be played back, since (unless it's a really loud sound system off in the distance) the first thing to be transmuted is likely to be the playback mechanism...
Hmmmmm... Maybe we'd better not show this post to any of Warrior's World wealthier villains.

Repost -- the Great Forum Hack ate it last time.
So, I was driving home from work recently, listening to 101.1 WRIF (The RIFF rocks DETROIT! BABY!), and they happened to put on an oldie, but a goodie, one of the Motor City Madman's better-known tunes:
Artist: Ted Nugent
Song: Fred Bear
Album: Spirit Of The Wild
[" Spirit Of The Wild " CD]
There I was back in the wild again.
I felt right at home, where I be-long.
I had the feeling, coming over me again.
Just like it happened so many times be-fore. eh.
The Spirit of the Woods is like an old good friend.
Makes me feel warm and good in-side.
I knew his name and it was good to see him again.
Cause in the wind he's still a-live.
Oh Fred Bear
Walk with me down the trails again.
Take me back, back where I be-long.
Fred Bear
I'm glad to have you at my side my friend
and I'll join you in the big hunt before too long
before too long.
It was kinda dark, another misty dusk
it came from a tangle down be-low.
I tried to re-mem-ber everything you taught me so well.
I had to de-cide which way to go.
Was I a-lone or in a hunter's dream.
Cause the moment of truth was here and now.
I felt his touch I felt his guiding hand.
The buck was mine forever more!!
Oh Fred Bear
Walk with me down the trails again.
Take me back, back where I be-long.
Fred Bear
I'm glad to have you at my side my friend
and I'll join you in the big hunt before too long
before too long.
We're not alone when we're in the great outdoors
We got his spirit We got his soul
He will guide our steps and our arrows home
The restless spirit still roams
Oh Fred Bear
Walk with me down the trails again.
Take me back, back where I be-long.
Fred Bear
I'm glad to have you at my side my friend
and I'll join you in the big hunt before too long
before too long.
(Fred Bear was real, BTW)
Power: Doug gets Mad Tracking Skillz, a infinite-arrow bow a-la "White Wedding"'s shotgun (anyone ever see the old "Dungeons and Dragons cartoon? something like that, but more Wild West-y), unerring marksmanship against anything edible, and a hankering for fresh venison. Whether he gets ghostly Native American assistance, or his leathers grow buckskin fringes, is up to Bob.
Mmmm... come to think, this might actually be handy for Rob's "Nadia" Stagger -- Doug doing the Mighty Hunter thing when Nadia is around could lead to some... interesting... arguments.

The Power of Imagination
by Pyramaze
Words & music by M. Kammeyer
Look into my eyes
they're the windows of my mind
a dreamspace filled with power
growing stronger by the hour
A realm of thought and dreams with no end
a stairway to a galaxy - ya
A galaxy of images sounds and words
it's liquid metal flowing through my veins
power of imagination has put a spell on me
realities Chains won't set me free
A thought can move mountains
an idea can make the day
fantasy is a firestorm
that guides me on my way
A realm of thoughts and dreams with no end
a stairway to a galaxy - ya
A galaxy of images sounds and words
it's liquid metal flowing through my veins
power of imagination has put a spell on me
realities Chains won't set me free
And at the end of the day
when there are no more words to say
a new story emerges in my mind
(outro)
And at the end of the day
when there are no more words to say
a new story grows emerges in my mind........emerges in my mind.....
emerges in my mind.......ohhhh..............................
I have a couple of ideas for this song. A) Doug can can change the physical world around him as he wishes simply by thinking about it, or B) he can break whatever laws of physics he wants to.
Thoughts?
For those interested, Pyramaze can be found on iTunes. They sound like a combination between prog, power, and epic metal, though The Power of Imagination is more balladesque than most of their songs.*********
I am a very sensitive person! I can go from laughing to crying with just a kick to the face.
- Dave Attell

The song "Fixing a Hole", from the Sgt. Pepper's album. (On the off-chance that you need the lyrics...)
For the duration, whatever structure Doug is in becomes weathertight - not even a hurricane can damage the building. However, Doug is about as able to concentrate as is Azumanga Daioh's Osaka...

I wish I'd thought of this last week...
Just in case we're one of the 50% of gold boards that won't get all its data back, it occurs to me that the best thing we can do is raid the Google cache and Wayback Machine for everything we can find. Re-entering it all into the forums would be a pain and a half, but if we each volunteered for one thread at a time, it would be a bit easier.
Thoughts, opinions, brickbats?

Test bloody test.
Edit -- great, so it's just lengthy posts that get screwed up. Marvy. Just freakin' marvy.

RELEASE THE KRAKEN
by Clutch
What's the matter brother, does the drought got you down?
(Open up the bomb shelter, sweep it on out)
Sing to the ocean in the afternoon haze,
Up the iron pillars, rise in the waves.
Andromeda is weeping. Inside one teardrop swims
Brave Useless in training less a millimeter thin.
RELEASE THE KRAKEN!
GET THE SACRIFICE ON!
RELEASE THE KRAKEN!
GOOD GD Y'ALL!
Useless the Younger we pray for you.
You know we got your back in whatever you do.
Bathysphere bobbing in Eyeball Bay,
Black lash crashes, forty foot waves.
Cepheus is holding Cassiopeia's free hand
As the Kraken breaks the surface making bee-line to the land.
(spoken) In Greek legend the son of Zeus and Danae
He and his mother was set adrift in a chest, but rescued by the intervention of Zeus. He was brought up by KING POLYDECTES,
Who, wishing to secure Danae, got rid of him by encouraging him
In the almost hopeless task of obtaining the head OF THE MEDUSA!
With the help of the gods he was successful, and with the head,
Which turned all that looked on it into stone, he rescued Andromeda
And later metamorphosed Polydectes and his guests to stone.
(various repetitions and effects on 'metamorphosed to stone')
(spoken section words in Release the Kraken are taken from Brewer's
Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, 1995, Harper Collins, page 819)
Lyrics from this page. If you've never heard them, the best description I can give for Clutch is "What if Frank Zappa played heavy metal?"
- CDHow many times have you stared mournfully into the coleslaw and thought "Gee, I wish I was a cabbage."
SERVO: Loook *deeeeply* into my eyes... Tell me, what do you see?
CROW: (hypnotized) A twisted man who wants to inflict his pain upon others.
