"I'd Rather be Burned as a Witch (Than Never be Burned At All)", sung by Ertha Kitt.

Quote:They say that I'm a witch

and that I weave a spell

[laughing] Well...

I'll use my eyes to invite you

My lips to delight you

And all the charms of the feminine wiles to excite you

They say that I'm a witch

and that I weave a spell

Well I'll be a son of a --

And a what the --

Well, let me tell you brother

I'd rather be burned as a witch

Than never be burned at all

I'll use my songs to entice you

With verses to vice you

And all of my bags of tricks to shoes and rice you

They say that I'm a witch

and that I weave a spell

Well I'll be a son of a --

And a what the --

Well, let me tell you brother

I'd rather be burned as a witch

Than never be burned at all

Do you want a gal who would be a pal,

who would never look at another?

Who'd be good and true and take care of you?

Sorry, you want another!

I'll use my charms to undo you

My arms to unglue you

And all of the hex of the weaker sex to voodoo you

They say that I'm a witch

and that I weave a spell

Well I'll be a son of a --

And a what the --

Well, let me tell you brother

I'd rather be burned as a witch

Than never be burned at all

Do you want a love who's a turtle dove,

who will bring you life's little joys?

Who is sweet and shy, with a gentle eye?

I'll take the men not the boys!

I'll use my eyes to invite you

My lips to delight you

And you never can tell when I'll use my teeth to bite you

They say that I'm a witch

and that I weave a spell

Well I'll be a son of a --

And a what the --

Well, let me tell you brother

I'd rather be burned as a witch

Than never be burned at all

Every so often, I think of something really silly. Here's a thread for such thoughts that relate to Fenspace. Feel free to add to it...

Just released a couple days ago. Gives a better idea of what's going on. Oh, and be prepared to freezeframe on the first scene for a whole lot of TRON references and injokes.

Oh yes, very much so.


I love this game.
I've been describing it as..
"you wake up and all you have is jeans, a t-shirt, and some empty inventory slots.. so what do you do? PUNCH TREES. Punch trees apart to get logs which you can craft into planks which you can craft into sticks and into a crafting bench and you can use the sticks, planks, and a crafting bench to make a WOOD PICK and then you start mining or a WOOD SHOVEL and then you can dig dirt, but you'd best hurry, 'cause it's getting dark out.. and the monsters are coming!"
I'll snap some shots and run Cartographer against my Minecraft server tonight, I am so digging this game!
The last update fixed minecarts in multiplayer, and the 'boost glitch' is still live, so we made a power-boosted commuter rail system that runs from the spawn point to my Elven Tree Village, and to the Fallout Shelter. One of my roomates is busily constructing a wall around his island - its covered in lava, fire, and desolation, he wants to protect it so noone 'ruins it with those wussy trees or flowers'.
SO FUN.

This was only a matter of time; and I have mixed feelings about it, but the cool is just too great to ignore.

It will be interesting to see where this goes as a tool for both artificial pop-stars and real ones.  Imagine what this tech could do for spectacle in a concert.
Lady Ga-Ga performing flanked by two Lady Ga-Ga-vatars?  Laser Floyd...
As the tech gets better and people start truly playing with it as art, imagine the stage shows and choreography that you could do with it.

I am currently preparing to buy a new (but cheap) computer sometime by early January and am looking for some advice. My current system is an emachines T1115 that has been upgraded from 128 MB of RAM to 512 MB (the max that it can handle) and a high speed internet connection through a box provided by my cable service (the original 56k modem was removed because it was interfering with the new hardware, which my Device Manager calls a Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC). The most intensive thing I use it for is to surf the internet using multiple open Internet Explorer windows, and I'm having problems with slow page loading and choppy youtube videos.
My new computer must be a tower set up for someone who is only marginally tech savvy, it must be compatible with my internet connection and it has to allow me easy internet surfing. Since I was a big fan of the original Starcraft game and plan to eventually get the sequel, it should also meet or surpass the recommended settings for Starcraft II and should probably have available expansion slots for additional RAM (the only upgrade that I feel confident performing myself). I don't need a monitor as I have a perfectly good Flatron L1942T.
I hope to spend under $500 if possible, as I'm mostly living off of my savings and am using all of the x-mas money I expect to get to help fund the purchase. Any suggestions on a model or on where or when to purchase the computer?

There's some talk going on over on the SJGames forums about what themes folks would like to see in upcoming Pyramid issues. (The current incarnation of the magazine is "theme" based - all the articles in a given issue relate to the same concept.) One of the themes that keeps popping up is "Supers/IST" - which, if accepted, seems to me to be an excellent place to run an extended IST Timeline, assuming Bob's got one ready to go...

Just a thought.

Hey there. Yes. You, there sitting in Beijing on the computer.

SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKER!

I have to wonder - what were you thinking? That my World of Warcraft account, because it hadn't been
active for nearly a year was fair game? So sorry to dissapoint. NOT!

See, I may not have been active in the game, but I have friends who are. Friends who know me in "real
life" and know my phone number. And when they SAW you on my character, not responding, when they KNEW I didn't have the funds to spare to reactivate my account (because I told them), they knew to call me. And
I immediately logged into Blizzard's Battle.net account and changed the password and booted you off. Bet you were surprised!

So asshole. You wasted time and money hacking my account and what's the score? Here's the tally:

-- You either wasted a one-month referral or paid for one outright. Either way, your loss, my gain, cause now that free month to play is MINE!

-- You spent a hell of a lot of time mining and got my character's mining skill maxed out. Thanks! But now I get to do with it what I want. SUCK ON IT.

-- You added some top-end mining bags to my character. Which are now MINE.

-- Ah yes, you mined a LOT of Cobalt and Saronite ore. You filled one whole mining bag and part of another with the stuff. Well, I've now smelted all of it and it's on the market and -I- get the gold for it! It's now MINE.

-- You effectively leveled my character one whole entire level. I only had to do the barest smidge of work to put her over the top. Thanks for the boost! But that character is MINE.

-- You must've made some gold in that 8 hours. I don't remember having that much. But it's now MINE, and I now have a flying mount in Northrend because of that gold. Thanks!

-- You sold off a lot of my gear, but because there was only an 8 hour window of time to work with to track the records down, the GMs were able to completely and utterly restore every last bit of it.

-- You wasted about 8 hours of time, and GAVE me a full month of free game time. FOR NOTHING.

Oh, and the Gmail account you hacked? New password, and I'm combing my systems now to make sure I don't have any traces of your keylogging malware bullshit. No getting back that way!

I believe the technical term for this situation is TOTAL CURBSTOMP.

Karma, it's what's for breakfast, bitches!!
