Heh.

People who know me do not often see me whoop and dance but I did that tonight.

Unabashed joy and happiness!

Thank you, America. After the non event of our election I needed this, I really did.

Further detail pics available upon request, should anyone ask.

I saw http://forums.sjgames.com/showpost.php? ... ostcount=5]this posting over on the SJGames forums, and thought "okay, that's yet another reason why we don't let The Professor run Fenspace..."

Anybody got any more?

As Bob has said that completely instrumental or a capella songs don't trigger Doug's metagift, here's a version of "Thriller" Looney can
listen to:

Does anybody else play the Ultracorps game at the Steve Jackson Games website (www.sjgames.com/ourgames/online.html)? If so, are you currently able to login? I've been trying for over
six hours and keep getting error messages telling me that Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage.

Never mind. It is finally allowing me access.

"Anyone can be a winner if their definition of victory is flexible enough." - The DM of the Rings XXXV

Basic Idea: Room of Requirements.

Hold Umbridge by luring her in to hold her and only her

Objections:

1)Room reconfiguration

A:The Ravenclaw Diadem was not accessed until someone needed that room again.

2)Anytime someone else accessed her room, they'd let her out.

A)Use a password-locked holding cell. This way, even if they do get into the Room, they'd still need to get past the cell door.

She plops down a large bundle of assorted fen script and orders a steady stream of Wave Shots, a blanket and a bucket.

As she sits at a table in the back of the bar she proceed, (Between drinking a shot, and upchucking bits of metal, plastic and electronic parts) to tell her
tale.

She was exploring the Oort cloud when she was captured by Reaver Catgirls. She was then shoved into a Vat of Handwavium with a plastic skeleton modified with
claws and electronic bits. She tries, and fails to describe the physical and mental pain as her body is bonded to the Skeleton and the electronics attached to
her Central nervous system. She tells of the Horror of having to watch her body capture other fen and force them into a similar vat for transformation.

As She tells this tale her body is shifting and reforming each time changing only a little bit with each consumption of Handwaved Jello(tm), alcohol, and
microchips.

Finaly the transformation is complete. The cat girl is now a Middle Aged Man with a very unusual Biomod. Wrapped in the blanket, he exits the bar and whistles
loudly, summoning from nearby a dirty yellow Vespa with an Electric Guitar strapped to it. He mounts the Vespa, and zips away at a speed that can be
considered near reckless only if you aproach from the other side of reckless speed....
