Will it polarize Legion world into two camps? Or will a third opinion form?

You mean "Tales of Duncan" don't you. Will it pit dog lovers against cat lovers? Maybe it's time for more pictures of the cutest puppy on the west coast. [Big Grin]

Will there be a Cobalt (Cosmic Boy) Kid faction, and a Reboot (Brainy, or closest thing we have to someone with wires dangling from his head) faction? And who shall lead the new, mystery faction? And what shall I wear to the confrontation?

A girl likes to know details ahead of time. I can't just pull together my alliances and a great outfit at the drop of a gauntlet [Wink]

Really, Princess! If your boobs are that big, no one will notice what you wear. [Wink]

I'm not sure. I've decided that the armor breastplate I've been wearing is very uncomfortable, which is a shame since it looks stunning when it's all shiny. And I feel almost naked without my trademark plunging neckline. So, I suppose it's back to the seamstress for me.

It's so hard to find something feminine, regal, AND will wear well in the midst of all out war.

Since you demand it, Cobie, let's discuss the cute pictures of you in Faraway's visit to America thread. 'Specially that one of you in your Maid of the Mist finery. Very controversial color choice, but it did accentuate the natural highlights in your hair. And did I see a dimple? [Embarrassed]

I wonder how long we can keep Cobie thinking that we're discussing him, when in fact we're discussing more important things like the Princess' wardrobe.

To be honest, that was just Giant Robotic Lesbian and myself having a stilleto pump racing contest to see who would fall over first.

Er...no explanation will be good enough for the pink satin teddy...

In dazzling pink satin (expecially with faux fur trim and matching stilleto pumps), they're practically indistinguishable. [Razz]

I wouldn't say that, dear [Wink]

I think it depends on how revealing the outfit is. But I don't know; the Her Majesty's ample bosom makes it hard to think straight.

She wasn't ill-conceived -- it was just that Kitson's depiction of her was so lame, you couldn't appreciate her character. Nevertheless, good riddance Dream Girl. Maybe Vi and Shady will be next!

Kill Vi!

There is no Vi. Only Atom Girl

Actually, Atom Girl is dead. The person we saw in issue #12 was really Yera Allon.

Was I wise to ditch the Legion after the Blight stories?
 
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
 
No.

Because that means you missed "Foundations", which was the greatest Legion story ever told by anybody anywhere.
 
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
 
Not to mention the greatest Legionnaire of them all: Jarth.
 
Posted by Pov on :
 
I thought it was Proty.
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
As good as Jarth and Proty were - and they were good - there is one that outshines them both: Bouncing Boy.

But truly, all three are a triumvirate of the Legion's best, with only each other as peers.

(We'll always have Paris.)

I think Didio's idea to have a Legion on the Run become the new model for all LSH stories to come is a sheer stroke of brilliance.
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
You guys have drifted from the topic of this thread.

Which is whether the thread itself will polarize Legion World into two fanatical camps or whether a mollifying third camp will emerge.

Unfortunately, history revealed that Molly Ringwald was one of the greatest villains of the 20th/21st centuries. The mere mention of her often makes babies cry and puppies pee themselves.
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
CoMolly Kid,

Ms. Ringwald was framed by Dr. Double X as shown in Batman #253
 
Posted by Kid Prime on :
 
It turns out that Rob Lowe was responsible for the framing of Molly Ringwald. He did it between making sex tapes.

But Rob Double-X did not fabricate Molly Ringwald's Al Queda ties.
 
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
 
No, Ally Sheedy did that.
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Well, Ms. Sheedy had good reasons to do that, Outdoor Molly.
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
I wonder if Molly Cramer is satisfied with the mollification of Legion World going on in this thread?

Name thirty.
1) It was very demoralizing for Al-Queda to think that Molly Ringwald was helping them.

2) It helped establish Ms. Ringwald's cover story when she infiltrated Al-Queda

3) She was acting under orders from Donald Rumsfeld

4) It was the only way to get her own name back in the papers

5) It distracted the public from the 2006 elections

6) Now the rumors of Judd Nelson infiltrating Al-Queda would not be believed

7) There is no reason number 7

8) Molly asked her to so as to bury the story of her affair with Cobalt Kid

9) Ms. Sheedy could not otherwise prove that Ms. Ringwald was "one of the greatest villains of the 20th/21st centuries"

10) As publicity for "You're the One That I Want"

11) I could use some help here. Making up...er I mean relating the 30 reasons isn't as easy as it looks

12) It's all Clinton's/Bush's (take your pick) fault

13) Did you know that it has been 21 years since "The Breakfast Club" was released?

14) Anthony Michael Hall was going to break the made up story first and Ms. Sheedy had to beat him to the punch. The little snort.

15) Are we at the half way point already?

16) Quote Ms. Sheedy "Well, all day long at school I hear how great Molly is at this or how wonderful Molly did that! Molly, Molly, Molly!"

17) "Maid to Order" really messed her up

18) Caroline laughs and
It's raining all day
She loves to be one of the girls
She lives in the place
In the side of our lives
Where nothing is
Ever put straight
She turns herself round
And she smiles and she says
'This is it'

'That's the end of the joke'
And loses herself
In her dreaming and sleep
And her lovers walk
Through in their coats

Pretty in pink
Isn't she?
Pretty in pink
Isn't she?

19) Wasn't that a great song?

20) Why did Outdoor Miner say "30"?

21) I suppose I should be glad he didn't say "50"

22) I blame myself for using the word "mollifying"

23) I blame Cobalt Kid for resurrecting this thread

24) Are those really reasons for Ally Sheedy to fabricate a link between Molly Ringwald and Al-Queda?

25) We are in the home stretch now

26) Jon Cryer aka Duckie stars in "Two and a Half Men" with Charlie Sheen, who is the brother of Emilio Estervez, who starred with both Ally Sheedy and Molly Ringwald in "The Breakfast Club"

27) Gee Kevin Bacon doesn't appear in that chain

28) Do you think Molly Ringwald would star in a television show about Al-Queda?

29) Should such a show be a comedy or drama?

30) Would you watch such a show if it also starred Ally Sheedy?

Is that enough reasons for you, Outdoor Miner?

No need to, since we can blame Cobalt Kid.

I'm not going to take the word of some hack who doesn't even know how many books make up a proper trilogy.

Besides, leaving the oceans was probably a much worse move. Stupid evolution.

there's nothing wrong with the world that a pandemic super-flu (a la The Stand) won't fix.

Given that the flu in The Stand seemed to not kill any of the world's annoying people, I respectfully disagree.

We'll need to work on that super-flu in the lab some more before releasing it.

Books in a trilogy = 27

three to the third power (3x3x3) (At least according to Piers Anthony)

The really stupid move was moving to Earth from Nelvana.

Given the subject of hyphenated words in the yet more inane five word post thread, it seemed appropriate to revive this, the most controversial thread on the board thread.

And to reiterate the first post:

Will it (this thread) polarize Legion world into two camps? Or will a third opinion form?
 
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
 
Ladies and gentleman,

Are you tired of the two camps on Legion World? Does the third opinion do nothing for you either? Well, of course not. They all suck. That's why I'm offering you a fourth way. Join me and know that my camp is superior to all others.

So, has EDE's camp divided into the EDE camp that likes S'mores and the EDE camp that hates S'mores?

If so, that makes five camps and this thread has gotten even more controversial.

Well, it depends on who you ask. Some claim that the camp is still unified, while others bitterly dispute that.

Gosh, it's like watching that film in high school showing a cell dividing.

And just because it popped into my head, when at the Comic Con last year, I saw a person with this on a t-shirt:

There are several computer programmers in our division who don't get the joke.

next, I'll bet you'll want them to learn the metric system!
 
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
 
Just to re-iterate the official position of the EDE camp:

The metric system is for losers!

Planck units all the way, baby!
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Will there be a further mitosis of the EDE camp in light of this new position?
 
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
 
The metric system believes in things like cannibalism, slavery and men with hairy ear-lobes!
 
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
 
Don't forget the origins of the metric system lay in something called "The Terror"! How many heads were chopped off to further the ends of this nefarious means of measurement?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
to be even more un-metric, we should lobby immediately for the dollar to be divided up into 112 cents - 100 is just too metric!

History Peel


Money was divided into pounds (£ or l in some documents) shillings (s. or /-) and pennies (d.). Thus, 4 pounds, eight shillings and fourpence would be written as £4/8/4d. or £4-8-4d.

There were
20 shillings in £1 - a shilling was often called 'bob', so 'ten bob' was 10/-
12 pennies in 1 shilling
240 pennies in £1

Pennies were broken down into other coins:
a farthing (a fourth-thing) was ¼ of a penny

a halfpenny (pronounced 'hay-p'ny') was ½ of a penny

three farthings was ¾ of a penny (i.e. three fourth-things). There was no coin of this denomination, however


Other coins of a value less than 1/- were

a half-groat (2d) 6 x 2d = 1/-

a threepenny bit (3d) made of silver 4 x 3d. = 1/-

a groat (4d) 3 x 4d = 1/-

sixpence (silver) - often called a 'tanner' 2 x 6d = 1/-

Coins of more than 1/- but less than £1 in value were

a two shilling piece (called a florin) 10 x 2/- = £1

a half-crown ( 2/6d) 8 x 2/6d = £1

a crown (5/-) 4 x 5/- = £1

ten shillings (a half-sovereign) 2 x 10/- = £1

a half-guinea (10/6d) 2 x 10/6d = £1/1/-

A £1 coin was called a Sovereign and was made of gold. A paper pound often was called a 'quid'.


Coins of more than £1 were
a guinea (£1/1/-)
a £5 coin


Is that no metric enough?


Mind you i used to hate maths lessons when we were doing this system.
