Nothing really serious here, I just had the mental picture of Doug and Terry standing on a roof top about to jump down and lay a hurting on some street thugs when Grumpy Old Bruce Wayne shouts "Sangnoir!" over the commlink causing Doug to cringe and Terry to stifle a snicker.

"And that must have caused my dad's brain to break in half, replaced by a purely mechanical engine of revenge!"

Now, Doug has at least one case of getting a power from a music video, so I wondered if the visuals on an album cover would do any good?
You see, he now has a flying bike, again (DW2:14), so I wondered if that could give him a Gate Song from Meatloaf's "Bat out of Hell"?

The Tazmanian Devil's quote came from "Devil May Hare" (1954) the debut of the Tazmanian Devil.
Here's an excerpt of the summary of that cartoon from Looney Tunes and Merry Melodies: A Complete Illustrated Guide to the Warner Bros. Cartoons by Jerry Beck and Will Friedwald:

Quote:

---

A stampede of animals fleeing from the Tasmanian Devil runs past Bugs's hole. While Bugs looks up the beast in his encyclopedia, it enters his home and makes ready to devour our hero. Bugs stalls by offering to help find a menagerie of creatures to consume. First, they dig for groundhogs. Bugs gets him covered with dirt. It does no good as he instantly reappears and growls, "What for you bury me in the cold, cold ground?"

given that many rock singers slur their words when singing, people often misunderstand exactly what was said/sung.

You know, I hadn't really thought of this, but it probably is the case.

Foreigner - Head Games

Quote:

Daylight, alright
I don't know, I don't know if it's real
Been a long night and something ain't right
You won't show, you won't show how you feel
No time ever seems right
To talk about the reasons why you and I fight
It's high time to draw the line
Put an end to this game before it's too late
Head games, it's you and me baby
Head games, and I can't take it anymore
Head games, I don't wanna play the...
Head games
I daydream for hours it seems
I keep thinkin' of you, yeah, thinkin' of you
These daydreams, what do they mean?
They keep haunting me, are they warning me?
Daylight turns into night
We try and find the answer but it's nowhere in sight
It's always the same and you know who's to blame
You know what I'm sayin', still we keep on playin'
Head games, that's all I get from you
Head games, and I can't take it anymore
Head games, don't wanna play the...
Head games
So near, so far away
We pass each other by 'cause we don't know what to say
It's so clear, I'm sorry to say
But if you wanna win you gotta learn how to play
Head games, always you and me, baby
Head games, 'till I can't take it anymore
Head games, instead of makin' love
Head games, ooh
Head games, always you and me, baby
Head games, 'till I can't take it anymore, no more
Head games, instead of makin' love, we play
Head games
Head games, in the first degree
Head games, yeah, always you and me
Head games, why do you do it baby?
Head games

Feeling down 'n' dirty, feeling kinda mean
I've been from one to another extreme
This time I had a good time, ain't got time to wait
I wanna stick around till I can't see straight
Fill my eyes with that double vision
No disguise for that double vision
Ooh, when it gets through to me, it's always new to me
My double vision gets the best of me
Never do more than I, I really need
My mind is racing, but my body's in the lead
Tonight's the night, I'm gonna push it to the limit
I live all of my years in a single minute
Fill my eyes with that double vision
No disguise for that double vision
Ooh, when it gets through to me, it's always new to me
My double vision always seems to get the best of me, the best of me, yeah-ah
Ooh, double vision, I need my double vision
Ooh, It takes me out of my head, takin' me out of my head
Ooh, I get my double vision
Ooh, seeing double double, double vision
Ooh, oh my double vision
Ooh, double vision
Yeah-ah, I get double vision, ooh . . .

After lurking on this board for quite a while, I finally broke down and got an account. Now that I've gotten an account, I guess I need to introduce myself.
My name is Jeanne Hedge. Some of you might recognize my name from a few BGC fanfics I've written. My stuff is nowhere near Bob's class, but a few of my stories have been pretty well received, and I like to think I do ok.
If you RPG using any of R.Talsorian's BGC RPG books, my old website is mentioned in all three books as one of their information sources. I was quite honored and surprised when that happened - I don't think very many of us "civilians" listed knew they were going to do that. But I digress - as I said, they reference my old website - the current URL is www.jhedge.com. It's not just BGC stuff - I run a fairly popular story site from there too that some of you may be interested in.
I'm also one of the moderators for RAAC. Bob's recent update of the version of Drunkard's Walk II that was in the archive gave me an excuse to go back and re-read everything again, which was quite enjoyable (but then I'm preaching to the choir here)
The last couple years I've been the moderator for the fanfic panel at Anime Central, and I've just been asked back to moderate the fanfic panel for ACen 2K4 -- hope to see some of you there!
Regards,
Jeanne Hedge

I heard part of this song the other day for the first time in several years and thought I'd look the words up.
After reading them I thought thy might form a song that could change Boomers into Japanese citizens.
Depending on what Loon's power latchs onto it could have serveral effects.

The Song might have the possiblity of
Making the Loon look asian
Making the Loon think he looks asian.
Making all nearby boomers human enough to be Japanese citizens.
create a million pictures around the Loon
Giving him a x-ray picture of a person or persons.
Banish all women from near him or maybe all drugs.
It might even turn the Loon into a creepy Lone Ranger

TURNING JAPANESE - The Vapors
---------------------------------------
I've got your picture of me and you
You wrote "I love you" I love you too
I sit there staring and there's nothing else to do
Oh it's in color Your hair is brown
Your eyes are hazel And soft as clouds
I often kiss you when there's no one else around

I've got your picture, I've got your picture
I'd like a million of them all round my cell
I asked the doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You've got me turning up and turning down
And turning in and turning 'round

Turning Japanese, I Think I'm Turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese, I Think I'm Turning Japanese
I really think so

I've got your picture, I've got your picture
I'd like a million of them all round my cell
I want the doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You've got me turning up and turning down
and turning in and turning 'round


Turning Japanese, I Think I'm Turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese, I Think I'm Turning Japanese
I really think so


No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women
No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark
Everyone around me is a total stranger
Everyone avoids me like a psyched lone-ranger Everyone


Turning Japanese, I Think I'm Turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese, I Think I'm Turning Japanese
I really think so

Turning Japanese, I Think I'm Turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese, I Think I'm Turning Japanese
I really think so

While reading chapter fourteen this song started playing on my mp3 player. It was started playing while I was reading the scene where Doug and Lisa were with each other.
CHANTAL KREVIAZUK "Leaving on a Jet Plane"
It seems like a gate song to me for while Doug leaves, but it seemed to really fit the scene when it came up.

Once again, I'm making the new chapter available to you loyal folks who hang out here before it goes anywhere else. Your only charge for this exclusive access is the request that you post your opinions, good and bad. As the story heads toward the final wind-up in chapter 15, I'm curious to see how people react.
www.eclipse.net/~rms/dw2-14.html
It'll go to RAAC, the FFML, the BGC-FFML and wherever the hell else I normally post it tonight some time.
Have fun!
